highlight it as their central workspace—from early wireframes to polished prototypes—with FigJam aiding alignment. Users applaud ease of use, browser access, and speed once past a modest learning curve. Common gripes: limited offline support, occasional lag on large files, pricing pain around Dev Mode, and admin/billing confusion. Overall, a dependable, team-friendly standard for modern UI/UX work.

What's great

real-time collaboration (168)developer-friendly (16)

Figma is fantastic because it enables real-time collaboration and design iteration in a way that fundamentally changes how teams work together. Its browser-based architecture removes setup friction, while features like live co-editing, shared components, and design systems allow designers, developers, and product teams to stay aligned at all times. By unifying design, prototyping, and feedback into a single platform, Figma significantly improves speed, clarity, and cross-functional collaboration.

What needs improvement

slow performance with large files (14)vector export issues (1)

While Figma is extremely powerful, performance can degrade in very large or complex files, especially when many components, variants, or collaborators are involved. Improving loading times and interaction responsiveness in these scenarios would significantly enhance the experience. Additionally, more advanced version control, clearer change tracking, and better permission granularity would help teams manage large-scale design systems more effectively.

vs Alternatives

We chose Figma because it enables real-time collaboration, reduces setup and tooling friction, and keeps design, product, and engineering teams aligned in a single shared workspace. Its browser-based approach, strong component and design system support, and seamless handoff to developers make it especially effective for fast-moving, cross-functional teams. Figma allows us to scale design workflows efficiently while maintaining consistency across products and brands.

How good is offline access and local caching?

Offline access in Figma is limited. While previously opened files may remain partially accessible through local caching, full editing capabilities and reliable access still depend heavily on a stable internet connection. Improving true offline support—such as clearer offline indicators, more predictable local caching behavior, and smoother synchronization when reconnecting—would greatly benefit users who work in low-connectivity environments.

Do comments and annotations streamline feedback cycles?

Yes, comments and annotations in Figma significantly streamline feedback cycles. Contextual comments attached directly to specific design elements reduce ambiguity and back-and-forth communication. Features like mentions, comment threads, and resolved states help teams track discussions and decisions efficiently, making cross-functional collaboration faster and more transparent. Overall, Figma’s commenting system effectively bridges the gap between design, product, and engineering teams.

How well does Figma handle multi-brand design systems?

Figma handles multi-brand design systems quite well. Features such as shared libraries, component variants, and design tokens make it possible to manage multiple brands within a single scalable framework. Teams can reuse core components while customizing themes, styles, and assets per brand. That said, as the number of brands and components grows, library governance, versioning, and dependency management can become more complex, and further tooling in these areas would improve scalability for very large organizations.

Figma is amazing. It's top notch software that works mobile and computer. The free version is great for testing and starting out, and paid version provides a clear incentive to invest.

Wonderful solution for UI Design and workload across all streams of design within the development process. Only criticism is that it lacks native support on macOS

I have enjoyed figma, It has been a great tool for Unwynds designs. my only issue is that it doesn't separate things at all so your page keeps getting heavier and heavier and it ends up being rather unresponsive.

Great, it was easy to learn and remains to be even more useful each day. The use of community plugins is really what makes this app so special!

Working with Figma has revolutionised the way I collaborate with others on design projects. Not only is it fast and easy to use, but the comments feature is an absolute game-changer!

Figma is a UI and prototyping tool, not a graphic design tool, they say. But I use it for creating all sorts of visual assets - e.g. social media posts. With Figma it's easy to replicate and variate components, and it gives more room to creativity than the actual graphic-design-tools-for-people-who-are-not-graphic designers.

Having used Figma for the past 1 year, I can confidently say that it's a phenomenal design tool that has completely transformed the way I work. The collaboration features, intuitive user interface, cross-platform compatibility, prototyping options, and plugins integration capabilities have all made Figma the perfect choice for me as a designer.

"Linked Asset" is a key feature missing. Due to that, we cannot download/get the original full images that we imported/used in the project.

I've been designing for over two decades and personally I feel Figma has knocked it out of the ballpark. I've used Figma since 2017 and made the decision to transition from Sketch to Figma for a product team of over a dozen designers. I was sold once I started using the prototyping features that made interactive demos a breeze. The property settings, MUI component integration, community plugins, overall design features makes this design tool the only one to use for product design. Kudos to the product team that built this amazing app.
