Adobe XD

One can easily use XD without any background of design or anything else. It is easy to use, implement and share.

XD just updated itself and made sharing files and everything hard. Now you have to pay for full version to use all features.

Easy to use anytime product

WireFraming, Design, Etc

Multiple people being able to work in the file at once. It highlights the area other users are working in so paths don't cross. I also love that it's stored in the cloud, and you don't have to have a bunch of file versions. You just have one file and can access older versions within it. Easy maintenance!

It has updates almost weekly. It doesn't prompt you to update, though. You can work in the file, but then someone else can't work in it if you're in the outdated version. So, I wish it would at least notify you to update when you login instead of having to check yourself in Creative Cloud.

If you're looking for more collaboration while people are working from home - this is a great tool. It takes a little time to familiarize yourself with the functionality, but it's worth it. Our team of copywriters, designers and developers are able to work together in a much smoother environment.

Our team is able to move through projects much quicker. We used to use InDesign - and we'd have to wait until someone was done before getting into the file. The co-editing function of XD has been a true game changer!

Adobe xd is very easy to use. It has so many amazing features. We can design user interface and build prototypes.

It is very suitable for working in a team. It's cloud based service i.e. your design is saved in the cloud and there is no chance of losing your designs. Backup gets refreshed every 15 minutes.

You can easily copy screens, add symbols, text, pictures, diagrams, change colors etc to make high quality designs.

We can add all sorts of icons (drop-downs, search bars, zoom in etc.) which are essential things in user interface of any application.

Some features are not so easy to use and require some guidance or training before you can use them.

For e.g. In prototype section, you can create the flows of screens. But it's not so easy to use. There could be hints popping-up to better explain the features.

Adobe XD is a great tool for developing user interface designs for all sorts of mobile and web applications.

Our company is using Adobe xd for developing user interfaces for certain desktop and mobile applications. This is an amazing tools to actualize our ideas into high quality visual designs so that software development team can very easily understand the requirements of design thinkers.

Adobe XD allows me to work in the Adobe ecosystem, using tools and icons I'm already familiar with, thus flattening the learning curve. It also provides integration with other Adobe apps, which is an added convenience given that my team relies on the Creative Cloud Library for asset management.

Since Adobe XD is a relatively new app, there isn't yet an abundance of tools, third-party plugins, and other add-ons. However, I'm optimistic that this will change as the app ages and the userbase grows.

If you've worked with Adobe products before, I recommend investing time in learning Adobe XD. The UI is intuitive and wireframing websites without fiddling with CSS is a huge time saver. Integration with Creative Cloud can make your life far easier. Store assets in the library and use across multiple devices or share with collaborators.

I can rapidly prototype responsive websites with transition effects and animations. The built-in grid system and repeat grid tool have sped up my design process significantly. Creating interactive prototypes and handing off mockups that stakeholders can actually use has helped my team showcase ideas in a way that reduces design/branding confusion during the review and approval process.

AdobeXD has a clean and intuitive user interface (as most Adobe products do), and the basics of wire framing are easy to pick up. A particularly handy feature is the ability to reuse assets across art boards, which saves time when mocking up multiple pages and making styling changes.

Basic UI animation was easy, however, more advanced UI animation is either impossible or requires manipulation of elements to simulate functionality, rather than actually performing it. For example, simple transitions are very easy but elements such as drop down menus are not readily available -- you have to use multiple elements and transitions to simulate the behaviour.
