FigJam Reviews

FigJam is best when used alongside Figma, of course. The perfect integration between designs and prototypes and whiteboards makes for a seamless end-to-end process toolset.

FigJam is less attractive to teams that are not using Figma. In that case, other tools are more mature and powerful (though FigJam is growing on a consistent basis.)

FigJam, a feature and product of Figma is an ingenious and indispensable tool when it comes to UX/UI design and development.

I find it to be more intuitive that Adobe XD, yet in some ways similar to Adobe Illustrator.

Both FigJam and Figma allow me to focus on my passion - graphic design - while also creating innovative and fulfilling experiences without writing a single line of code. The software does all the heavy lifting for me but also has the option for me or any collaborator I'm working with to step in and add code, if needed.

The most frustrating thing about FigJam and Figma is the clunky file/project management system. The software insists on dividing my work into groups (workgroups) even though I am a team of one. And, because I am a student, my account is limited unless I'm willing to ante up the full subscription price.

Pricewise, Figma/FigJam is a huge investment - moreso than the whole Adobe Creative Suite combined. Yet, the capability of the software outweighs its competitor.

I wish that the software was at a lower price point for those just getting started and are not part of a large team situation. Tiered subscription options should be offered with the ability to add-on alacarte features/smaller packages. Doing so would allow Figma customers to customize their experience and optimize their loyalty because the flexibility offered would engender good faith and support.

I use FigJam for product ideation or brainstorming sessions with my team. I also use it to build basic workflows or task flows for client reviews. The UI is very clean and simple. I love that multiple stakeholders and team members can work on FigJam board simultaneously without any lag. Whenever I need to discuss any product idea with business stakeholders or clients (who are not tech savvy), this is my go-to tool, as it is very easy for them to understand and use.

There is no offline version, so if you don't have internet connection, you will not be able to work on any updates. And it doesn't have lot of rich functionalities like Miro.

As a design lead, I've had the pleasure of extensively using FigJam over the past year, and I can confidently say that it has become an indispensable tool in our design arsenal. FigJam's seamless collaboration capabilities are a game-changer, allowing multiple team members to work on the same whiteboard in real-time. The intuitive interface and wide range of tools, from sticky notes and shapes to freehand drawing and text, make it easy for our team to dive in and start leveraging the full potential of the platform. The robust plugin ecosystem has also been a significant advantage, enabling us to integrate a variety of third-party tools that seamlessly extend the capabilities of the platform.

While FigJam has been an incredibly valuable addition to our design workflow, there are a few areas where I believe the tool could be improved. The lack of advanced version control and history tracking can be a pain point when trying to revert to previous iterations of our designs. Additionally, the inability to directly import assets from other design tools, such as Sketch or Adobe XD, can be a hindrance to our cross-platform design process.

FigJam is breaking down silos between our designer and non-designer teams. The intuitive interface and friendly whiteboard make it easy for everyone to give ideas, regardless of their designing experience. It's become our one of the most using platform for cross-functional brainstorming and workshops.

The cursor chat feature can be a little annoying at times, especially during large discussion sessions. And while the search facility is helpful, it could be enhanced for getting specific elements within a complex FigJam file.

Love the real-time collaboration features – makes it so much easier to work with others. The prototyping tools are top-notch too, and it's really intuitive to use overall. Plus, being web-based means I can access my projects from anywhere.

Every now and then it can be a bit glitchy, especially when working with large files. And I reckon the offline functionality could be improved.

I like FigJam because it makes your work that you can do with FigJam so fun.
You can use emojies and timer to collaborate with your team effectively moreover it provides you a infinite canvas which is better than those predefined sized artboards i really love it.

I like most of the things about the FigJam but one thing i do not like is it does not support vectors graphics so even if you import a figma file it will not be a vector based graphics anymore

Figjam is a whiteboarding tool. In essence, it eases the process of documentation, note-taking and conceptual learning and explanation. It can be used with one of its many preloaded templates or you can use its many tools to craft a whiteboard as you please. It is very intuitive, and everything is click-drag-drop. Easy to learn and easy to teach. There are many tools to allow collaboration and discourse. Audio chat is available as well. Plugins, stickers, and shared files from the community all make it one of the best tools in the space right now.

Figjam is a well-rounded product. Routine updates and troubleshooting the problems of the community (bug fixes, quality of life) would make it great. A suggestion for this would be to allow users to choose from many themes of the editor, including background texture, colour, and icon styles.
