## Reviews

### "Thrust into it after XD was discontinued. I'm not mad at it." — 4.0/5

> **Ashley** | *28 October 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I find that it's a really robust tool for design and integrates really well with other tools while designing/publishing websites.
> 
> **Cons**: It is not for the novice... it does have a learning curve to it. I wish it had more of a "lite" version that more of my employees would feel comfortable using
> 
> For digital design, it seems to be the best tool out there. Once XD was discontinued, I was thrust into Figma. I have been pleasantly suprised.

### "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.

### "Figma found lacking" — 3.0/5

> **Rene** | *27 December 2024* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: UI was easy to navigate without tutorials.
> 
> **Cons**: It lacks many features and limted brushes.
> 
> It was ok to use id recommend it for beginners but pros wouldnt appreciate it.

### "Figma AI is Powerful and has its Limits" — 4.0/5

> **Eric** | *06 January 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I have used Figma for years and it is an invaluable tool for product design. Most recently I used the Figma AI to build out an app.  The AI is excellent and easy to work with.  I found that it accelerated my design and POC.
> 
> **Cons**: Building with the Figma AI, while easy, results in a POC that can't be easily transitioned to other app building tools.  After hours of research, I found that I wasn't able to use the WeWeb/Figma integration, which I had expected to leverage.
> 
> Figma was super easy to configure and use.  It has always been a great tool and has only improved with time.  I would have liked to better understand the understand the integration.  Documentation is sparse.

### "The industry standard go-to app for designers." — 5.0/5

> **Phil** | *14 November 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of use, all the features I need and has responded well with decent AI enhancements and new feature sets.
> 
> **Cons**: Can be a little bulky and sluggish at times, but it seems to have improved. Plug-ins are a little arcane as well.
> 
> It's the industry standard and it's understandable why. Adobe dropped the ball on this one. Sketch failed to respond.

Features include version history, project management, commenting, user-based permissions, plugin creation, and single sign-on (SSO).\n\nThe platform enables designers to prepare drawings using vector networks, pen, and arc tools, letting them develop pie charts, watch screens, or clocks without merging or connecting to the path’s origin. With the auto-layout feature, teams can automatically resize various components of interface designs such as buttons or lists by using padding, direction, and space settings. Figma allows users to create prototypes through various interactions such as hover, on-click, or button press, and utilize GIFs to add video elements, or animations. It also helps teams to simultaneously edit designs, track changes, add notes, discover newly uploaded files, and share design links with members.\n\nFigma offers integration with multiple third-party applications including Maze, Zeplin, Trello, Flinto, Slack, Dropbox, and Jira. Designers can maintain a library of shareable assets such as icons, backgrounds, images, and fonts and gain visibility into the asset usage through analytics. The platform also lets coordinators send invites to remote stakeholders for a brainstorming session and capture, categorize, and prioritize ideas according to projects.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/43af42d7-c148-4fd3-b3bf-a9d154816c90.png","url":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/122951/figma","@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/122951/figma#software","@type":"SoftwareApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/#organization"},"applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","ratingValue":4.7,"bestRating":5,"ratingCount":862},"offers":{"price":"5","@type":"Offer","priceCurrency":"USD"},"operatingSystem":"Cloud, Apple, Windows, Android, Platform ios, Platform ipad"},{"@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/122951/figma#breadcrumblist","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Team Communication Software","position":2,"item":"/directory/1257/team-communication/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Figma","position":3,"item":"/software/122951/figma","@type":"ListItem"}]}]}
