However, I don't think they will be able to match how effortlessly Figma does it: you still have to manually sync the project to the cloud and only then you can collaborate in real-time.
XD is still quite far behind on some features here and there, trying to keep up, or rather catch up.Ĭollaboration was Figma's biggest advantage over Adobe, but the latter is getting closer and closer to its biggest competitor level. Featuresįigma was a game-changer here, there's no going around that fact. It feels sluggish and unnatural on XD, so it's on a losing side here. It lets you stream your prototypes live on your device, so you can see how it will look like on your phone. A little cool thing that works better with Figma though is the mobile app. Figma, on the other hand, can be run from your browser without any limitations, which is awesome as hell!īoth are available for all popular platforms, so it's a tie here. PlatformĪdobe is only available as a downloadable app, allowing you to preview the projects in your browser only when you have a link. You can't judge this part unbiased, I believe, but the clear winner for me is Figma here because the part of the big project is probably Windows' fault. My colleagues with MacOS do not have the same problem, but I do, and it can get pretty freaky: I have 16 GB RAM, and it still runs out of it pretty quickly if I open some of our larger projects. I work on Windows, so there are some problems: it seems to handle large projects pretty bad here. This issue is fixed now, but it left me really confused nevertheless.įigma, on the other hand, was always a little bit sluggish here and there, but it's a whole lot more stable, almost never crashing.
No matter how many times I reinstalled it or used a different device, it still crashed. When I started to use Adobe XD for a while, I was very impressed with how fluid it was, but. The first thing that I wanted to talk about is stability. I used both tools for over a year, and run into some pros and cons for both, so they might not be too objective. I must also warn you: those are my thoughts and my opinion only. They are pretty similar, but as always, the devil is in the details, and we're going to get into that today.
It has to be said that all three tools are great, but still we're gonna review and compare the first two. The market is dominated by Figma and Adobe XD, though there is Sketch, many people have moved on from it despite all of its efforts to keep up with the competition. Having worked as a designer in the past, I have tipped my toes into many tools and have experience in many of them.
