Ponnila Michael Rayappan

Senior Developer at University of Bristol

Has supported project lifecycles with design-first workflows and streamlined developer collaboration

The area of Figma I would prefer to see improved is the responsiveness of the developer tool. When you enable it, you can extract variations, but these variations are not responsive. If I design a page, and there's a way to choose a view, whether it is on mobile or tablet, which then automatically converts it to the responsive layout of the page I design, that would save considerable time. If I design for tablet view, and it automatically adjusts for mobile and different screen variations at the click of some drop-downs, that would be beneficial. Additionally, when we extract code, if it can provide variations for all different types in a responsive way using REM to adjust to different screen sizes and breakpoints, that would be extremely useful to have.

Maryam S Waris

Customer Success Manager at Braze

Encourages collaboration with our clients, and reactions help to prioritize ideas, but automation to make things more consistent would be helpful

This is a feature-rich product and I would like to see more opportunities for teaching new users how to learn and use the breadth of the platform. Ideally, it would be nice if there were a set of guidelines to explain what it is capable of. I know that there are videos online, and I've watched a few. But, I know that when I first started, just playing around, there were things I didn't discover that I could do until much later. This is why I get surprised by certain integrations I learn that they have. It would have been great to know right from the start, with a guided tutorial on how to use the various options. As it is now, we have invested internally in the educational resources needed to learn how to use it. A tool that can be very self-serving in that way, and enable its users to use it to the breadth of what it is capable of doing, is always a great thing. Whatever they can do to help make the visual look a little cleaner would be great because it can get a bit messy, or inconsistent. If there were automations to do things like making sure that elements are of the same size and correct alignment, it would help to make the visual more presentable. This is important because, at the end of what you create, it can have a very positive impact on what is ultimately shared with the client.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"File sharing is easy."

"The way you can create templates is probably most helpful because it gives us a way to very quickly play around and test ideas and different types of layouts."

"The platform is scalable for small—to medium-sized enterprises."

"The whiteboard has been very helpful. It's a nice tool. At least for me, as a teacher, that's been very helpful and it's an easy tool. There are specific tools within the whiteboard for drawing. It makes things easier, so I like that."

"It definitely helps when prioritizing things. For a business problem, you can create many different documents and easily compare them, then you can decide which one that you want to go forward with."

"My workshops have seen a much higher engagement. In the past, maybe ten or twenty percent of my clients would normally participate. With Lucidspark being involved, I see almost 90% engagement of everyone in the room, because they're required to add something."

"The user interface is easy to use. There were other things that I was expected to make work like other people had done and they were expected to make things like I had done. Even though we had a template, there were times when we couldn't access each other's template and it was very easy to just go ahead and make it just like they had it. It's very intuitive. It's very easy to figure out where things are and how to use things."

"The ease of using Lucidspark is definitely my favorite. It has been very intuitive, and it is easy for me to drag and drop my ideas to be able to be viewed by my colleagues. It is easily accessible for everyone with whom I'm working."

"The most valuable feature is the different ways that you can build out the charting and the mind maps. There are various different templates that are included in the program."

"I like the templates that it comes with. I also like how easy it is to change colors and icons and just flip back and forth. It is really easy to maneuver and use."

"We have used this solution for remote or virtual brainstorming sessions. We're a 100% remote company and therefore having that capability is important."

More Lucidspark pros

Cons

"The product could be improved by addressing performance issues such as slowness, particularly with heavy or high-resolution images."

"One of the areas for improvement is the onboarding experience. When you first starting using Figma, it can be a little confusing. It would be useful to have some guidance and direction."

"Sometimes the prototype view menu gets in the way of navigation, especially if the prototype has a menu at the top, and most of the time it does."

"One thing that I actually found difficult to do was to introduce video calls. Managing calls and the whiteboards and being all remote is difficult."

"There might be a way to do this in Lucidspark, but if there were a way to leave comments for internal collaborators, that would be good. Let's say we were brainstorming something. It would be helpful to have comments that we could see, but if we were to share a view with someone else, they wouldn't see those behind-the-scenes comments."

"There's a little bit of latency with the collaboration bit. Overall it's not quite as fast as Google docs, however, it's really close."

"The challenge that I always face with a tool like this is how to convince other people to start trying it out. I can't say if Lucidspark does a better job than other such tools."

"They have a grid system for snapping too, and they've done a lot to try to line things up so that the lines don't squiggle when you draw a line between one item and another. Everything has to be lined up. Everything has to be 90 degrees exact. But a lot of other people on the team just throw something together really quickly and the lines are not straight. And so it would be nice to have some feature that eliminates that problem."

"It has not affected the productivity of our working and brainstorming sessions too much."

"Using my iPad, it seems clunky and isn't as responsive as my PC."

"There are still some things that are a little confusing or too advanced, which is why it's not easy to use and hop on. There could be some other features that could be added, like other templates."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Sigma's pricing is reasonable and accessible for both small and large firms."

"One must pay extra if he wishes to have a higher level product."

"It would be better if I didn't use Lucidspark at all and just used Illustrator and Photoshop, but it doesn't make sense for my projects to do that. It would remove a tremendous amount of steps, but it would cost a tremendous amount of money."

"The licensing is a fair price. We mainly have single users. We chose not to do the team user because of the cost. We didn't see a need for that at this point. We have talked to Lucidchart and Lucidspark salesmen often about that."

"It's a very reasonable $8 a month. That makes it really accessible and helps it fill a pretty significant need for virtual collaboration. Just about every leadership team member that I've talked to said, 'Oh, well, that's cheap, just go buy it.'"

"I know that to get 10 seats for Spark is $2000 a year, which struck me as a little high."

"The pricing is very reasonable. It is more expensive than some of the free options out there but much cheaper than Visio, and it works much better."

"There is room for improvement in terms of the cost. It should all be bundled together. It's becoming like a Microsoft, where you have to buy all the different version features separately. It should just all be bundled with one price."

"I personally had a hard time getting the licenses sorted out. In the organizational license, the whole process took a lot of time. Personally, I feel that the licensing could be done much better on that front."

Overview

Figma is a cloud-based design tool that allows teams to collaborate in real-time on creating, prototyping, and iterating digital designs. With its intuitive interface and powerful features, Figma has become popular among designers and design teams. Figma's cloud-based nature ensures that designs are always up-to-date and accessible from anywhere. This makes it easy for teams to collaborate remotely or across different locations, fostering a more efficient and flexible workflow.
