Friendly and easy to use design protyping tool for every UX designer
Overall I am happy with figma and I might not switch easily to other tool too soon. They have all thing in one application where me and my team create graphics, extract files in png or jpg or svg. And they have good community online that helps whenever you stuck somewhere and that same community contributes for plugins to make life easy for UX designers.
PROSI loved the way figma have created their ui as I can use it for website and app prototyping, they provided simple easy to learn tool box which is much similar to other alternative so even if you need to switch to a new prototyping toll you can learn it very easily and start your work. And compared to other bog alternatives figma have free version to support self learners practice industry level designing easily by seeking their guides.
CONSI am exploring this tool since 2 years and it amaze me with some of the unique features that I haven't discovered. But I don't like their time consuming real time prototype views if you have lots of screens to made in an app, it makes it too slow to see real time working preview. Also they should provide different screen size optimization option that works on previewing apps.
Reasons for switching to Figma
Adobe xd didn't helped much in collaboration when rapid prototyping. And also I cannot save my files locally or make or update changes locally you always need to connect with cloud andthis costs little more than Figma. This is the reason I need to switch to new tool.

Very Intuitive to Design Product Wireframes
Figma is an essential part of our product building workflow. As a product manager, I convert all the ideas to wireframes using Figma and the designers expand upon it to create the UI prototypes for the engineering team to work on. The key benefit of Figma is that it is a one place tool for all our design activities - UX prototyping, Idea Wire-framing, UI assets & guidelines etc.,
PROSFigma has a large community that built a variety of plugins, templates and design formats that make the job a lot easier for both wire-framing and prototyping. The product is extremely intuitive with a good exponential learning curve that enables a new user turn professional in a very quick time. It is the best in the market when it comes to integration with businesses. It's strong API support help us connect with a variety of tools including Bravo Studio that help us launch small apps with zero-code.
CONSWhile the community plugins are huge, discoverability of the plugins can be improved a lot from the existing version. The default tools in the app are too abstract that a new-user might find it difficult to create things from scratch. As far as integration is concerned, Figma should have a marketplace for all the interesting integrations that a user can go through and pick the ones he/she is interested in.
Reasons for switching to Figma
Moqups help only with wire-framing. Though they do a good job at it, it's difficult to use it in our workflow as we would still be needing other design tools for the rest of the workflow to design products.

"It was a perfect tool until the latest updates"
Functionality, easy navigation, interface, community, plugins
CONSCurrently, I'm designing a website consisting of a relatively large number of pages compared to my previous projects. However, I've encountered an issue with the latest updates in Figma, the design tool I'm using. After the recent update, Figma started displaying the amount of memory being used, which has exceeded 77 %.Figma recommends deleting unnecessary files to optimise memory usage, but I have already ensured that there are no extra files in the project. It's frustrating to face these performance and memory issues even before completing the site.Consequently, I am compelled to consider alternative design tools since working on this project constantly battles productivity.It's disappointing that Figma is unable to handle the required number of files for a single project, and the proposed solution of splitting the project into multiple files seems impractical.I have been a user of Figma for several years, but the recent influx of new features and updates has significantly hindered the program's performance. This situation prompts me to question whether these improvements were necessary if they ultimately resulted in such a critical deterioration of the program itself.

A seamless collaborative tool, handy for aligning with service providers and enabling transmission to integrators
We have eliminated the slower and more time-consuming exchanges of mock-ups in a certain format, sometimes incompatible with our service providers. Instead, we use Figma to collaborate more quickly from one end of the development chain of our projects to the other.
PROSHaving a "Photoshop-like" but online tool, incorporating the prerogatives of front-end web developers, saves us a lot of time in the progress of our web integration projects.
CONSThe tool can sometimes prove complex given the number of parameters it allows to manage. It requires a period of adaptation for a project manager. Nonetheless, collaboration is very straightforward.
Reasons for switching to Figma
The collaborative aspect is much more powerful on Figma than on the Adobe suite. And it's cheaper as well.

Figma is a great tool specially for prototyping and designs management
I am using figma for prototyping and a little bit of graphics designing whenever i need to use it for.It helps me allot because i can create a prototype and then test it too using figma and i can test it for multiple devices so it is great
PROSI like the fact that development is very very easy in figma because the interactive metatrails available in there and mostly the plugins made my work allot easier and i have even developed my CV through figma cause i like my cv to be more iconic
CONSEverything else is very very smooth with me i am not disappointed at all but one thing that i think figma should improve is that the desktop version for windows is a bit slow at the startup. my laptop has a 16gb ram it looks good for it but still i feel a slowness at the start but for me it can be compromised and maybe there is not such an issue it is only with me

Why Figma is far more better than other design softwares
Figma's intuitive interface makes it accessible for both beginners and experienced designers. The learning curve is relatively smooth, allowing users to quickly adapt to the platform. I'm glad I came across Figma in my learning stage as a product designer.
PROSFigma runs in a web browser, making it accessible across different operating systems without compromising performance. It's standout feature is also its robust real-time collaboration, allowing multiple users to work simultaneously on a project.
CONSI honestly don't see anything I dislike about Figma because I've used other design softwares and I can say that Figma is a life saver when it comes to UI and UX design.
Reasons for switching to Figma
Figma is more easily to learn for new products designer, also my teacher users Figma most while teaching us product design. Though I have two design softwares installed on my laptop, I use Figma most and often.

Modern tool built for web design and development
Great! Highly recommend. It's simple enough to use for low fidelity wireframes and powerful enough to design fully fledged, high fidelity apps.
PROSYou can tell it's been built for modern web design and development. The most powerful part being the automatic code generation when selecting elements in Development mode. The collaboration mode is amazing, and it does really well when multiple designers are in fact editing at the same time. And the comment mode is super helpful. There's nothing quite like an inline pin + comment (compared to feedback with screenshots and emails like in the past!).
CONSThe pricing is a bit steep, but it's a tool of the trade. It would be good, however, to have leaner multi-user plans.
Reasons for switching to Figma
Compared to Photoshop, where we started in web design, Figma is purpose built for the modern web.

Never expected that design collaboration could be that easy.
All in one... I moved to Figma for the purpose of design collaboration but as I kept using it I realized it have everything that I need to design a product. From website design to mobile apps I'm all in on Figma. The prototype creation is smooth and the best part above all it kept improvising and understanding all about what we designers as a user want from a design tool.
CONSAlthough the prototype creation is smooth but it only allows you to have one main frame on a page. That creates problem for me when creating prototypes for micro interactions. I have to create multiple pages to have multiple prototypes. There are easier ways in terms of experience to fix it and I hope sooner Figma will improve this part too.
Reasons for switching to Figma
I was using Adobe Illustrator as it provides best vector software experience to me but once I get use to Figma I only use Adobe Illustrator for illustration or typo design work. The big reason for making a switch was pixel perfection, controls, collaboration and again all in one thing. I can do wireframe, design, collaborate and create prototypes at one place. Also can't ignore their assets library that helps in increasing design productivity and helps to manage consistency.

Extremely flexible Sketch alternative
I am amazed by Figmas progress and ease of use. The auto-layout feature is ultra-fast in comparison to Sketch and even much more flexible. This paired together with an extensive API makes Figma a great tool for rapid building MVPs and generating sites (and even apps) directly from Figma.
PROSThe speed which Figma is operating is incredible and the possibility to have it working in any browser is great. The best feature at this point the the very advanced auto-layout function and the benefit of seeing fonts rendered actually in a browser - so there come no surprises later at development time.
CONSShortcuts and plugins are a bit of a pain. You can not remap shortcuts at this point and plugins can be installed and used, but there is no way of "hiding them" or "deactivating" when not used and the menu list gets way too long.
Reason for choosing Figma
Priceing (and free tier) and better prototyping options.
Reasons for switching to Figma
We needed a collaborative tool to design without any hustle and also to be able to send designs easily for client review. Ultimately also the developer handoff is much quicker since all values can be viewed directly in Figma so there is no need for another hand-off tool.

Figma finally grows into a suitable Sketch replacement
Figma has grown into a proper design tool rivaling Sketch and XD. It beats Sketch by being available on both Windows, macOS (and probably anything with a modern enough browser) and it definitely beats Adobe XD by having a logical and familiar UI and just working as expected (for some reason I've had troubles with XD every time I tried it).
PROSCloud-based, works on both macOS and Windows, very easy to collaborate and/or share design files across the team or to the client. Coming from Sketch, the UI is very similar and I was able to start designing with virtually no adjustment period. From what I understand, interactive components with independent animation states should be released soon in 2021 — that should make Figma a suitable replacement for the Sketch + Principle stack I use currently. Being able to share design documents, animated prototypes and specs within a single service would be a killer-feature.
CONSSubjectively, on my 2012 Macbook Pro 15-inch with Retina the app may run slower than desired sometimes. Overall can't think of anything in particular that I wouldn't like.
Reason for choosing Figma
Cloud-based, 3 free projects, rising popularity
Reasons for switching to Figma

Figma: An indispensible software for any prospective designer.

PROSThe product is seamless when it comes to onboarding. The design system is intuitive and unobtrusive. This was a breath of fresh air after trying to learn Photoshop, XD and Illustrator first. Figma has a vast variety of uses. I've used it to make UI/UX roadmaps, Social Media posts, office presentations, User Docs, and even simple logos.
CONSThe native image editing options could be worked on a bit. Maybe they could have more color grading options. There could be a library of free icons to use as well.

Collaboration in real time is quite fantastic.
I found this software is a great design foundation and instruction.

With Figma, we were able to create more collaborative design critiques, more productive developer meetings, and broader file organization.

It is easy to use, similar to what we've always had in Graphic Design. Also, it is the perfect software to work collaboratively with team designers, product managers, and developers. Prototyping is fundamental for the project's stakeholders. Being able to do all this (and with animations) without changing software is amazing.

Figma, an excellent tool to generate prototypes and increase the customer experience.
It's a reliable tool, and it works perfectly when it comes to executing the prototypes so that our designs are seen by the end user and receive their feedback. We can also share views of our designs or allow collaborative work to be done. In general, its performance is consistent and scalable to complex projects.
PROSFigma has been adopted in multiple developments for its versatility, and for its proven efficiency in increasing the user experience in prototyping design stages. Its library and object management simplifies work on complex projects where multiple people participate to prepare proposals and guarantees a homogeneous product. Its interface has a very good degree of usability and the learning curve is short.
CONSFigma has been widely adopted globally and has proven to be preferred by many developers and UX designers. However, some may have opted for other multilingual alternatives, 3D transformations or voice prototyping. But it should be noted that the consistency and simplicity in the use of Figma made it the favorite and currently many companies implement the prototypes and projects through these platforms.

One of the best software products on the market
The perfect tool for advanced designers, for marketers, to get things done fast. Institute it in your company and you will not regret it.
PROSI work as a CMO, Head of Marketing or just as a plain Marketer with people of various skill levels and levels of expectation when it comes to design tools. Figma just happens to be the preferred favourite for people at both ends of the spectrum. Both very advanced and experienced designers and complete beginners enjoy it. It is robust, easy and does not take a lot of computing resources to start up the app or to get things done. Collaborating has been made relatively easy and there are plenty of options. I have found myself working with Figma with people with whom I am on the phone, on Google Meet calls or we just watch each other moving about in Figma and leave comments when we have to say anything. It is a new form of co-working - or rather it is the old thing but it finally works.
CONSWhen they start increasing the price of this thing. Watch out. That is the thing to be afraid of - limiting features and raising prices to an unreasonable level. I actually do not want the product to be free but sensibly priced and I am worried it goes down the road of being overpriced by some revenue optimisation geek and overengineered to become slow because too many remote dev teams are working on too many features.

Figma is more collaborative, more light weight and more shareable
Satisfied with using Figma for over 6 months. It supports importing projects from different file formats and also auto saves the project with version history. Version history is limited for free users.
PROSFigma is a comparatively new designing/prototyping tool that has become so popular very fast. Unlike other similar tools Figma primarily works on web browsers. It works smoothly on any web browser which means your operating system doesn't matter. However if you would like to use it natively on your system desktop apps for Windows and macOS are also available. An important feature that makes Figma so special is it's real-time collaboration feature where you can share your project with your team and watch them make changes in literally real-time and add comments, just like in Google Docs. Everything in Figma is already known to designers who have been using other similar applications. So switching to Figma won't be a trouble. For beginners, Figma is a good tool to start with. It might feel a bit difficult at first, but you will start mastering it in no time. The features and interface are pretty straight-forward. Figma is also a prototyping tool where you can prototype along while designing. The prototype could be run within the browser or it could be run on Figma's companion apps available on App Store and PlayStore called Figma Mirror. While prototyping you can also include some smooth animations and transition effects to give it a real app's look. Figma has also got a powerful and active community where you can share your work and also reuse the works by other community members. If you are a student or an educator Figma will give you its professional version for free.
CONSThe desktop app for Figma on Windows sometimes get stuck or stay inactive for a while before it responds if we resume using it after a break. In Figma, advanced prototyping features are limited. This means that you can only assign one interaction per user-interface element. For example, you can either hover a button or click a button, not both. The companion app called Figma Mirror feels a bit laggy on Android while testing the prototype.
