Design tools - what do you use/recommend?

Hi there,

At my previous employer we used Sketch and at my current job I used Adobe XD, now Figma.

With Sketch we had the following challenges:

  • performance issue with bigger design files
  • collaboration (we could not use sketch cloud due to data privacy)
  • to share with stakeholders we needed to export designs (again data privacy)

Adobe XD is fast, but sharing design files without cloud is difficult.

Figma is fast as well! The company managed to get a private network, therefore the cloud issue got resolved and collaboration and sharing became easy.

Hope this was helpful.

Notice that I did not mention design features. All 3 tools became so similar that the decision factor shifted. Instead of checking off features, we needed to make it work for all designers, developers and stakeholders in the firm.
