I was introduced by a client and now have brought it into my own company and am using it nearly daily\! > > **Cons**: NO cons\! It's an incredible value, incredibly user friendly and honestly just a fun platform to use\! > > I have genuinely enjoyed bringing Figma to my team and learning more and more about its capabilities each day\! It has been a huge addition to my design team and we are loving our experience\! ----- ### "Figma review over 4 years" — 4.0/5 > **Rakhi** | *13 April 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Figma makes collaboration feel effortless—designs are always up to date, and it’s easy to comment directly on the exact element without back-and-forth. The design system support is also a big win; components, variants, and shared libraries make UI work more consistent and faster to review. > > **Cons**: Large files can get heavy, and performance can dip when a project has lots of pages, components, or prototypes. Also, version history and branching are useful, but they can feel a bit confusing unless the team is very disciplined with naming and workflows. > > Figma has been a great tool—clean, modern, and easy to work with, especially in a cross-functional setup. It improves clarity between design and development and speeds up reviews, and even with the occasional performance or workflow friction, it’s still one of the most practical design tools I’ve used. ----- ### "Figma review" — 3.0/5 > **Katie** | *14 April 2026* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: We utiise this for Ux designingfor a new app that we are creating , to allow us to collabrate accross the various developement teams to ensure we have a source of truth and we can update and ensure that these have version control > > **Cons**: I do find it quite tricky to navigate around and it can be very slow at times and also loses connection > > Figma does what we need it is great to have our designs in one place to ensure consistency accross the areas we work with , the develeopers of the app we are creating use these designs to work on the front end developement so a very im portant tool for our business ----- ### "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. ----- ### "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 ----- Page: 1 / 36\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/175027/figma?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/175027/figma) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nb | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
