Our verdict
Figma removes friction from design collaboration: one link, everyone editing the same canvas at once. Components and variables let it carry a design system for hundreds of people, and Dev Mode handles handoff. Pricing keeps climbing, so heavy users should check per-seat costs.
Плюсы
- Real-time collaboration nobody has matched
- Complete component, variable and Auto Layout system
- Dev Mode makes handoff almost conversational
Минусы
- Large files lag on low-spec machines
- Per-seat pricing punishes team growth
- Entirely dependent on a network connection

Hundreds of components held together by variables and component properties. Dev Mode cut our back-and-forth by more than half.
Sharing prototypes with clients is effortless — one link and they can comment. Gets laggy on big files with many editors on one page.
