Likelihood to Recommend
InVision is well suited for design reviews and immersing yourself in the experience of an app-to-be. As a Product Manager, it's difficult to take abstract concepts, user pain points, and business needs, and produce a vision for an app without a visual aid to communicate a vision. InVIsion offers PMs, designers, and developers the opportunity to sketch a vision, communicate about it with inline commenting, and shareable with other stakeholders.

I will definitely recommend ProtoPie as it is free in the market and provides a number of features to design a prototype. For starters, I will surely tell you to go and try it . If you are a web developer or App developer then ProtoPie is a good option to give a try for creating prototypes.

Pros
  • Very easy to export Sketch files (where prototypes are actually created) into Invision and preserve the interactivity.
  • Additional interactivity can be added in InVision. Like scrolling with locked footer.
  • Clients, designer and developers can collaborate - leave notes and respond to notes made by others.

Cons
  • Designs can be very slow to load on mobile devices, particularly when they include many screens.
  • There isn’t an offline version of the full app, which feels less-than-ideal for many of our teammates who live in areas with more spotty internet.
  • There are limited functionalities to portray animations and transitions. This hasn’t been a huge issue, but it makes the app feel a little out of date, considering the range of such functionalities in other apps.

The interface is well designed, but I had a hard time figuring out how the various pieces of software integrate together.

Support Rating
I didn't need to contact InVision support, as I've never needed it. They have an intuitive UI, and most of the questions are answered in their help portal or in tutorials online. Since many people use it, there a great resources available on for example YouTube. No problems so far with InVision.

Alternatives Considered
[InVision] provides the ability to iterate really quickly, in fact, it is so intuitive that can be applied on live wireframe designing, while the ideas are being scratched and stormed from the team in a single discovery session, as well as allowing and giving access to the whole organization to the final outcome

Figma is pretty much similar to ProtoPie. But it is paid tool whereas ProtoPie is free which competes with Figma on features and easiness. Figma is more of UI designing prespective tool whereas ProtoPie can be used even by starters due to its simple UI and navigation.

Return on Investment
  • For the price it is well worth it. It improves collaboration and efficiency which can be easily attributed to cost savings or improved margins.
  • It also adds an element of professionalism and sophistication to the process and presentation of the work, which in turns aids in brand favorability.
