The UX is very clean and intuitive, so you don’t need a lot of time to learn it. It’s much more flexible than Photoshop, especially for UI and UX work. Real-time collaboration is a big plus, and even the free version is more than enough for our daily work > > **Cons**: Sometimes it can feel a bit heavy when files get very big, and performance can slow down. Also, some advanced features are locked behind the paid plans (Only 3 free pages), but for most basic and medium projects the free version is still okay. > > Overall my experience with Figma has been very good. I use it together with my designers and it makes collaboration much easier. We only use the free version and honestly we’ve never needed to contact support, which is actually a good sign. It’s a solid tool for UX/UI design and much more practical than older tools like Photoshop. ----- ### "You'd be crazy to use anything else at this point in time\!" — 5.0/5 > **Matt** | *26 January 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: From a product management standpoint, it provides us our one-source-of-truth for all of our product designs, and it still gives me the freedom to experiment with designs and make prototypes. It also helps out our developers in a massive way. They have a very clear vision of what the final product will need to look like. > > **Cons**: It's difficult to come up with any true downsides to using Figma, but I could mention that you really need to take time to learn the different modes, methods of editing, keyboard shortcuts, and especially how formatting works. I banged my head against the wall several times initially, but its because I attempted to jump right in without doing the homework beforehand. > > I'd used multiple different UI/UX design tools as a product manager. There was JustInMind, Sketch, Adobe XD, and a few others, but Figma was a genuine breath of fresh air. I have no plans of switching platforms again, and I know they will continue releasing even more useful features and improvements. ----- ### "Make design collaborative" — 5.0/5 > **Dominic Vikram** | *18 March 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Realtime collaboration has been a huge boost for how we do product design. > > **Cons**: It only offers about 70% of the features of other vector software. ----- ### "Best Friend for Design Validation" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *23 April 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like most about Figma is how easy it makes the handoff process between designers and testers. I can directly inspect design elements — spacing, fonts, colours, dimensions — without having to ask the designer every time. The prototyping and flow features are especially useful for me to understand the intended user journey before writing test cases. It gives me a clear reference point to validate the actual product against the expected design. Good in security that without access you can view the design. > > **Cons**: My biggest frustration is the lack of proper version history visibility for QA purposes. When a design gets updated mid-sprint, there's no strong notification system to alert testers about what exactly changed. I've missed design changes that directly impacted my test cases because of this. Also, comparing two versions of a design side by side isn't as smooth as it should be, which makes regression checks on UI designs a bit tedious. > > As a QA standpoint, Figma has genuinely improved my testing workflow. Having a single source of truth for design means fewer back-and-forth conversations with the design team. I use it regularly to cross-check UI elements, validate user flows, and identify inconsistencies between the design and the developed product. However, I do wish it had more QA-friendly features like annotation tracking or change diff views. Overall, it's a solid tool that makes cross-functional collaboration much smoother ----- ### "Figma / Pros & Cons" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *27 December 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The best part about Figma is the cross platform possibility which Adobe XD could not provide. The new AI integrations also serve a huge purpose making figma a peak creative platform. Also their customer support is one of the best in the field. > > **Cons**: In overall, Figma is one of the best Designing tools. But the limitations of plugins and their paid usage is a downside I've noticed in figma. It also has minimal possibility for animations but it covers up the flaw through its AI and prototyping with smooth navigation. ----- Page: 1 / 36\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/311091/figma?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/311091/figma) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
