About

An online whiteboard for teams to collaborate. Ideate, share, discover. Build and riff on ideas together. Communicate more ideas with sticky notes. Dot vote, stamp, emote, draw, or chat to react with soul. Use markers, shapes, and connecters to organize your thoughts and show how they work together. Document journeys and systems with out-of-the box shapes and connectors that snap to the grid. Easy to learn and intuitive to use, FigJam keeps you and your team flowing and jamming. FigJam and Figma live side-by-side, so all design work, from ideation to execution, can be found in one place. And, teammates can leverage design libraries in FigJam to create artifacts that are consistent and on-brand. Emote with quick expressions without cluttering your FigJam workspace. Use stamps to vote for ideas, share the love, or note where follow-up is needed. Cursor chat gives you a quick way to share thoughts when jamming live. Use default library assets or your own components to customize your work.

About

Where teams design together. Figma helps teams create, test, and ship better designs from start to finish. Fast and powerful, just like your work. Packed with design features you already love plus unique inventions like the Arc tool and Vector Networks, Figma helps you keep the ideas flowing. No need to stop to install, save, or export. It’s what any good cloud software should be. Bring your ideas to life faster in animated prototypes that feel like the real thing. Get insights from users and test concepts earlier and more often. Share a link to your design files or prototypes, and get feedback in context. Or, jump into the same file with your teammates—no matter where y’all are in the world—and co-edit live. Create a scalable design system that’s accessible for your organization and easy for you to manage. When all designers are speaking the same language, everyone’s more empowered to do their best work.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Integration into Figma ecosystem is great: possibility to use Figma designs and components. You can leverage Figma community for templates and plugins. Also it's possible to invite unlimited free editors for 24h sessions! Surprisingly, it's cheaper than other whiteboarding tools.
  • FigJam is a great way to stay in touch and communicate with co-workers across the country and world.

Cons

  • No real downside about this tool... The only limitation is that it's sometimes viewed as a "designer tool" whereas it's great for non-designers too : you can draw org charts for HR, accounts plan for sales, workflows for engineers & Software architects.
  • Little difficult to understand, not as smooth running as I had hoped.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • A simple and intuitive interface. Everything makes sense once you get the hang of it. Lots of features, a variety of third-party plugins. Teamwork, comments, and much more.
  • I've been using Figma for the past 3 years, and I have nothing but praise - it's a solid 10/10. What I appreciate the most about Figma, including everything, is that this team listens to its community, cares about details, and introduces features that make work easier not only for designers but for everyone who uses the program, including developers, managers, users, and so on. Collaboration with multiple people in one file, auto layout, and the recently added dev mode are just a few of the things. Additionally, the mobile application that I can sync with my account allows me to see how the design looks on a mobile device in real-time, even when I update the design in the file. This also applies to tablets and more. It's perfect!
  • Figma is great for collaborative design, no doubt about that. Its ease of use could be better as you really have to be a designer to understand elements and design constructs. Overall though we use this inhouse with all our teams to share and collaborate.
  • Quality design tool. Figma is an impressive tool that provides endless basic and advanced functionalities that has allowed us to make our designs in real time and collaboratively with the entire work team and even our clients to provide them with quality material. Its interface and user experience is optimal and guarantees ease of use and adaptation throughout the process. It easily connects the entire work team, allowing us to act synchronously, giving us the possibility of brainstorming through notes and diagrams that allow us to express in greater detail each minimal aspect during different design steps. In one place we find how to exploit all our potential since since we were at zero we can create a completely new idea and develop it without any type of limitation. Its tools have allowed us to design our image in a much more developed way as it offers intelligent and dynamic features that reflect a much more realistic image. It has a portfolio of templates that adapt to our design systems and offers trending tools that allow us to constantly keep up to date. Another point that is important to highlight is that we can quickly create and deliver designs in real time adapted to the needs of our clients. Not only with this create work tables and team meetings where we can plan through whiteboards the entire design process so that everything is clear and we can quickly adapt to the work to be done, communication synchronization of the work team is one of the objectives in our company and having been able to achieve it with Figma was really an achievement, since the results can be seen both internally and internally. Prototyping has also given us the ability to show our clients our work without having to join the platform as it is possible to create a space where they can visualize the interaction of design and elements. Among so many things, its interface is really intuitive and easy to customize since it adapts to each of our requirements to be able to work according to what we need, it has a clean interface organized and with the right tools so we don't get stressed with so much work. DISLIKE It still has some small performance bugs, being based on the cloud I recognize that all our designs are safe there, however the processing of these designs during the experience on the platform is quite slow and presents regularities if my connection to Internet is not entirely good, even at times when I lost parts of the design made because I did not realize the connection. Being able to have a platform that can be used directly on my computer without connection, Daniela gives possibilities and opens the door to a better user experience and ease of use. And although it already has this, the interface is a bit limited and does not allow me to be quite free as today in the cloud platform. GENERAL In general terms, we really now have Figma, which is a highly capable platform to provide us with an optimal space for all the members of the work team to interact and translate all their ideas into a design, thus developing a quality product that we can offer you. to our clients and what we can adapt with enough flexibility according to what each one of them wants. Previously we had to save the work and then share it with our colleagues to give feedback on the work done, now this is no longer necessary since in real time we can all visualize the progress of the design and interact in the changes of the same. In this way, we do not make sharing work ideas so tedious, but rather a much more enjoyable environment. It has no barriers in terms of the development of each of our ideas, it allows us to be free enough professionals to create a whole new world. The tools are adequate and it has given us a space to create, build and be creative enough. Since we joined this platform, we have discovered that we were not really limiting new opportunities and that thanks to better developed work, our clients are much more satisfied with the new ideas proposed.
  • I'm a self-taught designer, so it was important for me to find a tool that's easy to learn on my own. Figma delivered in that aspect. The interface is intuitive, they have descriptive support pages with tips and tutorials. I can do all my design work in one software: sketching, workshops, prototyping, and design. This helps me save money, since I don't need to subscribe to any other product.

Cons

  • You can name the cost, a gradual reduction in free functionality
  • The only thing I believe should be improved is the prototyping functionality. Prototyping currently serves basic functions for me, but I would love it if it were possible to add animations and motion design to prototypes.
  • Ease of use could be better, not everyone is a designer! Native Mac app is a memory hog.
  • It still has some small performance bugs, being based on the cloud I recognize that all our designs are safe there, however the processing of these designs during the experience on the platform is quite slow and presents regularities if my connection to Internet is not entirely good, even at times when I lost parts of the design made because I did not realize the connection. Being able to have a platform that can be used directly on my computer without connection, Daniela gives possibilities and opens the door to a better user experience and ease of use. And although it already has this, the interface is a bit limited and does not allow me to be quite free as today in the cloud platform.
  • It can be overwhelming to keep up with all the new and existing features features. Also, with bigger files I need have to refresh the page sometimes for the changes to take place.
