Figma Reviews & Product Details

Figma is easy to use right off the bat and offers a robust variety of features to support various design needs. They're consistently updating the program with new and upgraded tools to diversify use. They have a great support team and community. Figma has also been increasing its ability to integrate with other programs, making it a successful rival to ecosystems like Adobe CC. Perhaps the best thing about Figma is how well it supports active collaboration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Certain workflows in Figma require significant learning curves. Building a functional library takes a lot of investment and expertise. Some features, like animation, are still very limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I value most about Figma is how easy it is to start using it and the ability to collaborate in real-time with other team members. It allows me to create clear and organized interfaces, especially useful for users who are not very tech-savvy, like many accountants. The system of components and variants helps me maintain consistency in onboarding and configuration screens, and the auto layout feature is key for designing processes that adapt well to the user's flow. I also use plugins like "Content Reel" and "Icons8" to streamline the design of explanatory materials, and I love being able to share files directly without exporting or sending them separately.

Something that complicates things for me is that, when the files are very large or include many prototypes and pages, the tool can become slow, especially if I don't have a good connection or I'm working from a basic laptop. I've also noticed that comments sometimes get lost among so many layers, and it's not always easy to keep track. I would like there to be more control options for users who only need to view or comment, without entering sensitive areas of the file. And although it is generally easy to use, for those who are just starting (like some support colleagues or internal users), the workspace can be overwhelming at first if it is not well structured. And when letters are accidentally converted into vectors, it is not possible to revert to the letter format. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Figma makes it incredibly easy to prototype user flows and UI screens, whether starting with low-fidelity wireframes or progressing to high-fidelity designs. Its intuitive interface allows quick setup of design systems and seamless use of reusable components. The prototyping mode is particularly helpful for building clickable demos that are great for stakeholder presentations. Dev Mode is a valuable addition that streamlines collaboration with developers by making specs, assets, and dimensions easily accessible. I also appreciate the real-time collaboration features — comments, annotations, and notes — which help keep cross-functional teams aligned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The recent pricing changes, especially the separate licensing requirement for Dev Mode, have made it more expensive to onboard developers just to access specs. Also, the folder and project organization within Figma could be more structured and intuitive — it can become cluttered quickly in larger teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the thing i like best about Figma is honestly how effortless collaboration feels. it is the one design tool where yu dont have to keep exporting files or worrying about version control- everything just happens in rwal time. you can literally have your designer, developer and product manager all looking at(and even editing) the same file at the same time, and it actually works smoothly.

this is coming from someone who really likes the tool- is that it can sometimes feel a bit overwhelming espcially for new users. There is a bit of leraning curve with things like auto layout, component variants. once you get the hang of it, its amazing, but at the start, it can be confusing.

I love how intuitive and accessible Figma is. Its simplicity allows me to focus on designing without feeling overwhelmed, and real-time collaboration makes teamwork incredibly efficient. The active community also provides valuable resources and support for UX/UI designers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The abrupt UI change was frustrating and made it harder to find familiar tools. Even after months of use, I sometimes still struggle to locate certain features. Although Figma allowed users to temporarily revert to the old UI, the transition could have been handled more smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use and intuitive UI. I also like the Comment tool to place the bubble in any specific given part of the design and leave your feedback (I love the thread feature to chat over a specific section of the design) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Something to improve is that there should be a way to shift easily from Move (cursor), Hand tool, and Comment mode with let us say a right click on a blank space within the design. This I say because you must go always to the bottom of the view or press H, V, or C keys Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I appreciate most about Figma is its collaborative capabilities, which allow us to work asynchronously while maximizing our time. Having all stakeholders involved almost in real-time to gather their feedback significantly enhances the project's efficiency.

The AI features are incredibly helpful, especially for those who aren’t designers and want to express their ideas as prototypes.

Figma is easy to use, simple to set up, and integrates well with other tools like Jira, making it an essential tool for product design in our daily workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While it may not be very intuitive, it makes sense as a designer-oriented tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Figma is a very easy to use software. We use it for multiple project design requirements and campaign creative requirements. It helps the team collaborate on the dedicated workspace for each project, through proper labelling and sections of the files. It allows me and my team to leave comments on feedback on the design itself for any design edits or changes. It is easy to access and to implement across team for effective communication, through their desktop and mobile application. We use it frequently for all marketing communication creative needs such as WhatsApp & Email image needs. The customer support is very helpful also in cases of any queries.

There is only a slight delay in the loading time of the files if there are too many designs on one file itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Figma’s real-time collaboration is a game-changer — being able to co-design with team members, developers, or clients in a shared environment removes versioning chaos and accelerates feedback loops. Its intuitive UI, component system, and robust plugin ecosystem make it ideal for designing responsive web apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Figma is incredibly powerful, performance can lag with larger files or complex design systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I find particularly great about Figma is its collaborative nature. The ability for multiple people to work on the same design file simultaneously, in real-time, is a game-changer. It really streamlines the design process, making feedback loops faster and team communication so much smoother. Plus, the fact that it's entirely browser-based means no more fumbling with file versions or worrying about operating system compatibility. It just works for everyone.

On the flip side, if I had to pick something I dislike, it would probably be its reliance on a stable internet connection. Since it's a web application, if your internet goes down, so does your access to your work. This can be a bit frustrating, especially if you're in an area with unreliable connectivity. While they do offer some offline capabilities, the core experience is definitely tied to being online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
