### "Great design tool." — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *26 March 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Figma is a great design tool that helps him collaborate with both engineering, design, and product teams.
> 
> **Cons**: Figma can get overly complicated, and the AI features still need improvement, especially in terms of setup and ease of use.
> 
> The overall experience has been really good. It's affordable to get started. The user experience is easy for collaboration and building product prototypes

### "Invite works once only, subsequently creating an account doesn't fix it" — 2.0/5

> **Adam** | *22 March 2025* | Translation & Localization | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of use in the brief first look I got to look at it from using my invite, which then didn't work again. So I was unable to continue. I created an account, which then didn't automatically associate to the file I'd been editing a few days previously (Why would they code it so it did????)
> 
> **Cons**: Invite worked only once, when I created an account it failed to associate my email address to the file I'd just been using, so my workflow was stopped while awaiting a fix.
> 
> Brief and unfulfilling. Invite worked only once, when I created an account it failed to associate my email address to the file I'd just been using, so my workflow was interrupted while awaiting a fix.

### "Game changer for UI-UX collaboration" — 4.0/5

> **Elena** | *07 January 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I really like how easy Figma is to use with my designers. 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.

### "Powerful collaboration and sharing tool" — 5.0/5

> **Flavio** | *04 March 2026* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Figma is a great tool that allows us to collaborate with design team. I can provide constant feedback to design team, commenting on prototypes that are been developed. Integration with Jira is great, where we can have designs attached to software development tickets and it's quite useful. Also offers reusable components and lots of different libraries.
> 
> **Cons**: No major issue noticed, but sometimes navigation to different folders can be a bit difficult if you are a new user. Also search tool could be a bit better understand more context queries.
