About Adobe XD
Adobe XD is an on-premise prototyping software that helps businesses of all sizes create designs for websites and applications using animation tools in real-time. It allows graphic designers to design mockups or wireframes and test them across various devices including mobile, desktop and tablets.
The software enables teams to flat images into 3D pictures by moving the objects forward or backwards to provide augmented and virtual reality experiences. Professionals can utilize Adobe XD to create different shapes, modals, or buttons and automatically adjust components while moving or resizing objects. It also allows administrators to replicate elements such as contact lists, photo galleries, menus, and other lists to create grids with customizable content.
The platform lets businesses collaborate with team members or clients, share designs, receive suggestions, and respond to feedback in the same thread. Adobe XD enables managers to synchronize used designs, animations, logos, colors, fonts, and more to reuse the assets.

Adobe XD: Prototyping Simplified

In a nutshell, my experience with Adobe XD has been a very positive one. Even in its most basic subscription plan (which is free of cost), it provides all the vital features necessary for creating and deploying incredible prototypes in a systemized manner. It maximizes productivity by creating two distinct yet intertwined workflows for designing screens and setting up interactions between them.
Pros
If you work in the area of UI/UX Design, Adobe XD is one of the critical tools you can have in your asset. Prototyping in Adobe XD is a breeze, thanks to the simplistic yet purposive interface it provides. The tools it provides for designing prototypes are very intuitive to learn and use, making it easy for new users to onboard. Adobe XD also features a separate workflow for handling the interactions within a prototype, rendering the processes of designing and prototyping interactions discrete yet fluid. Furthermore, it allows you to deploy your prototypes on the Adobe Cloud, making it easy and quick to share and test your prototypes.
Cons
Once you get accustomed to the streamlined workflow of Adobe XD, it might take you a while to adapt to those of other competing prototyping services.

Being fast and quick to use I liked it. XD missed me at the moment, they did not provided an option to set text to UpperCase (it's there already) or choosing assets form a shared Adobe library. From a mature product aimed at the professional audience one would expect these detail to be polished from the very beginning.
Pros
Being a part of the Adobe Creative Cloud it was a no-brainer to test XD. The integration with other applications from the Adobe suite is a great help as you do not have to think about transferring assets from one app to another. It just works and is super quick/responsive.
Also the easy to use option to share a prototype with the client or anyone else, hosted in the cloud, is a great help.
Another very cool thing is Auto-animate which simple and nicely working.
Cons
The app is still in development and I miss comprehensive variants of components/symbols. You may create components, but not their states. Or not as easy as in other applications. Sometimes it can get a little messy when overriding component content and the integration with Adobe library is weak.

Using Adobe XD was a blast. With it's simple user interface, speed and stability, I was very pleased with the overall features that XD offers to users.

Adobe XD allows you multiple interaction per item (hover, click ...) that faciliate UI design wich makes it the most suitable software for prototyping. Adobe XD supports different platforms (desktop, mobile browsers, mobile apps ). Adobe XD offers an excellent team collaboration.
Cons
Unfortunately Adobe XD doesn't have enough plug-ins for sketch. Also it could have more other features.
