Business Problems Solved

InVision has been widely used by design teams to streamline the website design process and gather valuable feedback from clients. By providing tools for diagramming ideas, drawing wireframes, and creating prototypes, InVision has supported the translation of design discoveries into actual flows. Designers have found it beneficial for sharing initial mockups with clients and prototype dynamic designs with clickable interactive prototypes. This feature allows for a more in-depth feel of the design and facilitates collaboration and iterative improvements.

Additionally, InVision has played a crucial role in filling communication gaps and promoting collaboration between product, design, and engineering teams, as well as key stakeholders. It simplifies the design process for websites and digital marketing materials by allowing for easy client review and code extraction during development phases. The software's accessibility and project management features make it particularly useful for designers, UI/UX specialists, project managers, and product owners. Furthermore, InVision has been recommended by senior designers for its ability to upload designed interfaces and provide notes, making it easier for teams to understand the design intent. Overall, InVision has proven to be an invaluable tool in enhancing collaboration, facilitating handoff, and improving the overall efficiency of the design process.

InVision: A Great Tool for PMs to Share Designs with Teams and Customers

Rating: 9 out of 10

Incentivized

November 1, 2022

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use InVision as a solution for UX artifacts, including journey maps, mockups, and interactive wireframes. Specifically, our UX designers take the lead with designs and share these designs with relevant stakeholders. We review designs among UX and Product folks as well as embed InVision artifacts into user stories. Often, after concepts are validated internally, we share InVision assets directly with customers for their review. Our work spans various enterprise apps in the business.

Pros

Features to enable clickable prototypes
Organization of wireframes to map out user flows
Easily shareable assets

Cons

For non-primary users, navigation can be difficult.
Embedding of assets into other software is a challenge.
When clicking through a flow, it would be nice to easily navigate to other screens without backtracking to the main menu.

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it to wireframe and to demo already built prototypes

Pros

Framing
Uses the link share to present
Uses craft plugin to transfer prototype from sketch

Cons

It is not as robust as figma, you can’t animate use certain settings.
Ability to explore to other tools
Animation improvements

Likelihood to Recommend

I think it’s easy to learn and onboard I’d recommend it for users new to design tools

Invision helps your design team get faster

Rating: 8 out of 10

January 25, 2020

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

InVision is used as a quick prototyping tool to demonstrate the user experience design to the development teams and help them understand. We usually create the InVision prototypes to also use as a part of usability testing with users on new features for the software. This helps us get early feedback on the design and correct them before spending too many resources on developing bad products. In terms of business value, it saves us a lot of money to use InVision over developing the entire application, then realizing that the design was not the most optimal. Its very simple interface allows anyone to use it with minimal learning.

Pros

Simple and to the point UI is easy to use.
Ability to use anywhere; mobile, web, apps etc.

Cons

Basic animation features could use some improvement to support advanced users.
Only one project allowed per account on the free tier.

Likelihood to Recommend

Useful to demonstrate the flows and how the user interacts with an interface. Quickly design either wireframes or high fidelity designs and import them into InVision and share with others. It helps the entire team play with it and feel the experience rather than listening to a designer narrating the experience.

Great software for non-technical designers

Rating: 10 out of 10

September 7, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The web software is mainly used by our Digital Media department, which is part of the larger IT organization. We operate globally and use InVision to make clickable prototypes of our app concepts. It allows us to operate efficiently and create testable prototypes fast, thus saving us a lot of time compared to not having this tool. All in all, we are very positive about having this!

Pros

Clickable prototypes with multiple screens.
Easy upload, due to the integration with software like Sketch.
Easy-to-animate prototypes, with highly customizable options.
Easy to access basic CSS code from graphic elements, making it easy to communicate to developers.

Cons

Better integration between their different products. I don't know how to distinguish them based on the names.
Better integration with Microsoft Teams (they have Freehand, but that's it). Option to share a prototype directly on teams.
Options for testing InVision better. Currently, the limit is 1 prototype per free account.

Likelihood to Recommend

One of the best tools around for prototyping for non-technical users. Designers love InVision, especially those who design for screens. A responsive (web) app or website can be easily demoed by a graphic designer in InVision. It makes it possible to gather feedback quickly from managers and improve on that after that.

InVision - the right tool for quick and simple prototyping

Rating: 9 out of 10

Incentivized

September 6, 2017

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

InVision is used across all of our design teams: marketing, innovation, and product experience, to rapidly prototype functionality for users or to be used as an example of what a specific customer need or solution experience would be. It is very easy to use and ramp up new designers on, unlike other far more complex prototyping tools.

Pros

Standard prototyping using images and hot spots to control interactions.
The ability to add .gif elements to prototype micro-interactions.
The ability to organize workflow and review steps across teams.
The ability to use inspect to communicate with developers instead of creating hundreds of 'red-line' images to explain spacing, etc...

Cons

There is no ability to add dynamic data, from a json or other data file.
Large prototypes can get somewhat flaky with hot spots not rendering or not functioning.
There is no ability to add dynamic navigation to user paths.

Likelihood to Recommend

InVision excels on simple prototypes. Basic functionality, mobile or web, is easy to mock up and easy for users to interact with. The projects are easy to share and distribute, even for offline usage. For simple through complex end user testing or validation of functionality InVision is an excellent fit for the task.
