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.

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

"Figma, in addition to being light, has very good performance and hardly has bugs."

"I recommend Figma to other users because it enables team creation and provides multiple people access to the same project."

"I decided to switch to Figma because it is quick and seamless for my web design use cases."

"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."

"Having everything hosted on the web is one of the best features."

"Working with Figma has provided significant benefits over the past five years."

"From a technical perspective, Figma has greater capabilities, and once you start to explore all these features and how to connect Figma with other tools such as Storybook and Zeplin for documentation, it's a tightly coupled system with many different functionalities available which make it excellent, and I will definitely recommend Figma over other designing tools for organizations because the support it provides is extensive and highly technically feasible, making your job considerably easier."

"Figma has positively impacted our organization because we just live in Figma and certain teams just live in Figma all the time, which has really allowed us to make sure that our designs are consistent and that there is a standard way of producing those designs and consuming those designs."

More Figma pros

"I find it a whole lot easier for making a flowchart process. Previously, I would use PowerPoint and then have to share the file. It's a lot nicer for collaboration."

"How easy it is to use is the best feature."

"In terms of the most valuable features, I like that we can compare a report to our templates. That is really useful. I saw that it has all of these templates that I can use. I also love that I can use my own images."

"In terms of the productivity of our brainstorming sessions, it has probably made us 80 percent more efficient."

"It's easy to collaborate and it's easy to share amongst various team members. I myself am a product designer, and I found that in the past, as a project designer it's hard to work with engineers in terms of finding a product that satisfies what I need and want to do with the project designer and what they need and want as engineers. This tool is a good combination of both, and I feel like it's super easy to use. It makes a lot of sense. It's simple enough, but also has enough complicated features to make it what we want it to be."

"If our effectiveness was at around a five or six before this, the process would have definitely helped move it to an eight or nine."

"Definitely, just the time saved has been a huge game-changer with everything that I've been doing."

"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."

More Lucidspark pros

Cons

"One negative aspect about our main use case or how we used Figma in that project is that the notifications were a little bit difficult to follow."

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

"The solution might not be affordable for teams of five or more people, making it somewhat expensive for small businesses."

"There is one aspect of Figma that needs improvement."

"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."

"Typing a prompt to express what I have in mind is quite complicated."

"In the free version, because we are designers, we don't always have access to the paid version. While the pricing is totally fine for paid workspaces, the free version needs better security locks so other users cannot duplicate content."

"The disadvantages of Figma compared to Adobe are the capabilities when searching for plugins; we often need to rely on external ones, and it takes time to read documentation because the prototyping protocol is not very clear."

More Figma cons

"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."

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

"There is room for improvement in terms of the cost."

"Depending on how much Lucidspark wants to emulate a true whiteboard experience, there could be other ways to do things."

"There should be a feature for changing the color of the background, borders, etc. Such a feature will make the flowcharts more attractive."

"One of the things that I struggled with a little bit was navigating around the board. Because it's so big that when you want to find certain sections, it can be a little bit challenging to move the little box in the corner around to find where you are. If there could be more options to move around the board, that might make it easier. It can have a joystick version or something like that so that you could just manually move around, or there should be an option for a picture in the corner on which you click around to locate different items on the board."

"There is an emphasis on Google as a set of cloud apps and cloud storage but I don't use Google so that doesn't really help."

"I found Lucidspark's virtual whiteboard useful, but I still felt there could be more features, like putting up presentations, creating frames, and being able to run it like a presentation. These things would make it better. If they could add more features for presentations and organizing the different sections of the board in a space, which is interlinked to how you can present them efficiently. This would be very helpful."

More Lucidspark cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"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 was using the web version. I don't know what I signed up for, but I don't think I paid anything. It was just free."

"I don't think that the cost is ever something that I considered. It has always been worth it to pay a small payment and help everyone with their tasks. It has definitely helped me become more organized. I don't think that the cost has been a barrier at all, and it is worth it to be able to pay for it."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."
