It took me very little time to understand the concept and then I was up and running. As I continued to use it I picked up shortcuts and advanced features. It really plays a big role in communicating what needs to be built. I also really like exporting a project into a PDF file so it can be used as a demo with options linking to various pages. > > **Cons**: I haven't really found much that I did not like. There have been times when I would like to have some more elements to include in my wireframes. I have seen some that were available for purchase which is nice. > > I've been extremely pleased with the overall experience. I really like the look of making a wireframe look like a sketch. It gives it a very clean look so you can focus on the functionality. ----- ### "Evergreen Wireframing tool" — 5.0/5 > **Daniel** | *13 April 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of use and minimalistic design is my favorite factors in Balsamiq. The drag and drop- WYSIWYG framework make it easy to learn and get going from the day one > > **Cons**: Option to collaborate can be improved, by tagging teammates and discussing real time > > The best wireframing tool in the market, using it for the last 8 years. Recommended for all product manager and UX folks ----- ### "A long time ago, we used to be friends..." — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *16 January 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Balsamiq used to be the most user-friendly and easy-to-use wireframing tool on the market. It's still good, with the actual wireframing tool being very intuitive and the component library, though a bit outdated, providing most of what you'll need to put those ideas on a canvas. > > **Cons**: If the actual tool is still pretty usable, Balsamiq has not aged well regarding everything that's around it. The global UX, from signup, to actually getting to the designer or, if you're of the daring kind, trying to use the offline app, is an experience straight from the early 2000's. It "works", but that's all it does, and gives you the feeling of a tool that's way past its era of relevance. > > Balsamiq used to be a tool that I used daily, both for personal and professional projects. By failing to adapt its UX to the modern world, Balsamiq not only lost me as a user, but let other great tools take its place as the go-to tool for easy and fast wireframing and prototyping. ----- ### "Essential for communicating website and mobile layouts" — 5.0/5 > **Aaron** | *20 April 2019* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: For anything of any complexity, I love using Balsamiq to quickly wireframe what a website, form, mobile app, or component. By keeping with the 'sketch' look, clients don't get sidetracked with imagery, or colors, or fonts - instead they focus on the layout and functionality of the website or app. I love creating navigational PDFs for clients with this tool. > > **Cons**: Sometimes it can be hard to find the right icon - there's got to be some way to search and find them. > > Balsamiq is the best way to communicate complicated ideas with clients. ----- ### "Great for website mockups for non-designers" — 5.0/5 > **Zee** | *27 August 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's a great tool to explain to designers (or to other colleagues) what do you want to see on the website. I am not a designer, but I often have to create new pages with information on our website and before I give the technical task to the designers and developers. Balsamiq has quite a number of "features" you can add to your website so that you can create a draft layout in a few minutes (if you know what you're creating, that is. If not, then you can drag n' drop features around the page and get the job done too.) > > **Cons**: It did everything I needed it to do, so I haven't found anything where I found it lacking. > > It was and is a convenient tool I use to create basic mockups to describe my ideas to designers and developers when it comes to website design. It's user-friendly and I quickly learned how to use it. ----- Page: 1 / 16\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/91065/balsamiq-mockups?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/91065/balsamiq-mockups) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
