InVision aids in fast virtual collaboration

Rating: 10 out of 10

April 14, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use InVision with Sketch to prototype the software we are developing. We use it to share with different stakeholders across many different teams across the whole company. The development team also uses the InVision inspect feature to get design details and content of the design when they are writing the code.

Pros

Allow for sharing across multiple teams.
Sync with Sketch to upload screens and prototype.
Ability to star most used projects.

Cons

The order in which projects are in can be confusing.
We can't create custom or different links to prototypes when sharing with external people.
Sometimes there are syncing issues.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's great for when you need to share a design vision with a large group of individuals and it makes collaborating virtually a lot easier. It is also good for user testing prototypes in person and virtually. I have not used the InVision freehand feature often but it seems more limited than other platforms like it.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

InVision is used to design websites and other digital marketing materials by the graphic design team.

It simplifies the upload process for clients to review and for developers to pull chunks of code from for the development phases.

Pros

Upload to other 3rd party platforms such as Zeplin.
Easy to use design interface.
Lots of 3rd party plugins to simplify you life, Unsplash for stock photos for example.

Cons

Limited in platforms it can upload to.
3rd party plugins don't often get updated and then break/don't function.
Slow to develop some features, example animation for showing user experiences.
Can be glitchy/buggy and updates sometimes makes things worse.

Likelihood to Recommend

When two designers are working on the same project InVision is less suited than other design programs.

When there are heavy illustration elements needed InVision is less suited than other design programs.

For simpler design projects InVision is great.

Great for design collaboration, inventory and sharing of assets

April 10, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use InVision to house so much of our creative process and assets. This is done at various steps throughout the internal creative process. We use the freehand function for ideation and sketching out plans and then the boards and prototypes are used to house more work in process and finished products. We also use it to manage work internal as well as sharing with our clients. Finally, it also serves as a repository for all final, approved assets across a number of different clients and projects.

Pros

Simple and intuitive interface, very easy to use and share.
Great for collaboration with multiple users and stakeholders.
A very professional and manageable way to house multiple assets, across clients and projects.

Cons

Housing video files doesn't allow for easy preview or playing.
Navigating around a large freehand board can be cumbersome and difficult to find your way to specific areas of interest without some nuancing.

Likelihood to Recommend

All in all it is a really good tool for creatives and marketers. It can be used to get in the weeds and do all of the work that needs to get done across all phases of the work, but also to share the work and solicit feedback across internal and external teams.

Great collaboration, interactive prototyping tool

Rating: 10 out of 10

July 10, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

InVision is used across the whole organization for UX purposes. All the prototypes for online apps, mobile apps etc are all first created in Sketch and then exported to InVision. It is a great collaboration tool, where our clients, developers and us - designers can mark out thoughts at any point of the project and respond and share their opinions. I love that I can hand off the prototype to developers and they can go into inspect mode and get a greta level of detail: pixel, percent dimensions, colors, font, sizes etc.

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

InVision's biggest problem for me right now is that if the change I make in Sketch is minor - it does not get picked up when I update my prototype in InVision. So I have to add large bright noticeable objects - then update the prototype then remove those objects and update the prototype again. It is a very time-consuming work around.

Likelihood to Recommend

InVision freehand is a great tool for brainstorming. It is great for collaboration in general. For example: I give permission to a number of people to access the prototype - they can then access it when it is convenient for them. When they make a comment - I get notified so nothings gets missed.

Excellent design sharing and feedbacking tool

May 21, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

InVision is my favorite tool for building software prototypes, designs, and sharing them within and across organizations. I can easily and quickly access all my projects, those created by myself as well as those shared by my peers. There is no need for registration, although you might limit access to your projects to invited, registered users only. It is very handy when you are working under NDA agreements. The app is also mobile friendly and will work on most mobile phones and tablets. There are some small cons as well. I would hope to find dynamic transitions between screens (like Balsamiq mockups can do), but this is a graphics/design tool, so you can't really have everything. I would still highly recommend using InVision if you are a designer, UI/UX specialist or project manager/product owner!

Pros

Easily sharing designs and mockups.
Creating folders and separate projects for easy handling of multiple projects.
Great interface and ease of use.

Cons

Lack of dynamic transitions between screens (ie. "mocked buttons").

Likelihood to Recommend

Useful for creating a design and sharing them with peers, creating several different projects with sets of designs, and quickly accessing your projects archive. Less useful for showing the functionality of several screens with heavy connection and particular actions needed to transition from one to another.

InVision is a fantastic tool for quickly updating and sharing wireframe and visual design comps with stakeholders to gather feedback.

Rating: 10 out of 10

March 14, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The UX department uses InVision to share every wireframe and visual comp we create. InVision allows all stakeholders and technologists to review work in progress and conduct reviews of work with a commenting feature. Design and UX use sync connections from Slack and Adobe Photoshop to seamlessly post comps to InVision and quickly sync changes on the fly.

Pros

InVision works well with Sketch for the syncing of comps with a few clicks. This saves a lot of time in having to export JPGs and manually upload to InVision projects.
InVision's commenting system makes it very easy for stakeholders to comment with markers directly on objects related to their comment. By tagging users in the comment, the users then get an email with a small screen capture of the doc and the commenter's comment. This makes it really simple for discussions to be tracked.
It's a simple thing, but the ability to use the keyboard arrows to navigate back and forth through page views in InVision is very handy when presenting.

Cons

The technology running InVision doesn't allow you to be signed in and open multiple documents at once. If you're in a project and want to present 2 different pages in the project, opening them in different browser tabs ultimate causes the InVision interface to crash, etc.
It might have been thought of as a benefit, but I find that the ability to rename a screen once uploaded to InVision is confusing. Creators will have a naming convention for their files, and changing a files name in InVision for display makes it challenging to find the creator's original file by the name they used.
Sharing a document with others not part of your organization is a clunky experience requiring the creation of a shareable link. There are a few options, and it's not always clear to people how they should generate the share. And then it's not clear to the person being shared with how to interact with InVision.

Likelihood to Recommend

InVision is a terrific tool for syncing design work to a central location where other colleagues in your organization can view it. The commenting system works very well at allowing people to comment directly on a page and for recipients of those comments to easily see and respond to a comment.

InVision allows for a simple prototype creation, but I find it easier and more robust using other tools. The InVision features are limited for prototype work, but it excels in sharing docs for feedback.

InVision: Create beautiful designs for great products

Rating: 9 out of 10

Incentivized

March 2, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

InVision has been a great tool for our company. It has allowed our UI/UX team to quickly translate designs for concepts to usable prototypes. Being able to build clickable designs that envision user experiences has helped us create beautiful interfaces for our users while easily collaborating within our team to collect feedback and improve upon every iteration of the created designs.

Pros

Allows seamless collaboration within a team on design.
Helps us build clickable prototypes of our designs.
Makes envisioning user experiences simple and uncomplicated.

Cons

The web application is quite heavy and tends to lag from time to time.
Same with the mobile app. It's not the quickest and easiest experience.
Navigating through several designs can be difficult and confusing at times.

Likelihood to Recommend

InVision is great if you have a relatively small design team. It can get quite expensive with larger teams as there is a monthly plan with a limit on team members. However, the tool is definitely worth it. In addition to this, InVision has a great design blog that provides helpful tips to teams with any kind of expertise.

Feature-packed Prototyping Tool but Beware of Pushy Salespeople

Rating: 8 out of 10

December 7, 2018

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our creative team is using InVision as a prototyping tool to demonstrate website design concepts and layout to clients for web development projects. We can simulate some of the interactivity with the designs, as well as easily share the create with clients over a link. It is also helpful to capture important notes from the design/UX team for the development team. Prior to InVision, we shared PDFs with clients which were flat, and didn't always load properly. InVision is helping us better showcase our conceptual designs and give clients a feel for what to expect with their new website.

Pros

Showcase web design page layouts in an efficient way.
Simulate hover states, click states, drop down menus, and other interactive elements.
Easily capture design feedback from clients.

Cons

I wish it had even more ability to simulate interactivity. What is there is nice, but still doesn't faithfully prototype the website.
It can be a bit cumbersome to set up connected pages and interactive states.
Pushy sales team that is always trying to get you to upgrade your plan even when you don't want/need to.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you need a helpful way to share web designs with clients, as well as internal stakeholders and are looking to capture feedback, InVision is a great tool for that. It also has more advanced features to go deeper with animations as well. The platform can definitely scale as your needs change and you don't have to use all of the features to get your value from the expense.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use InVision for all of our UX works. It is used predominantly by our digital team. It helps to develop high fidelity prototypes using hotspots and collaborates with the cross-functional team effectively. InVision provides the advantage of sharing the URL with the ability to access the prototypes in various devices like mobiles, tablets, and laptops.

Pros

Drag and drop upload files and file management.
Hotspots, Boards, freehand.
Collaboration

Cons

Fixed left panel - Invision supports fixed headers and footers.
Everything is image based -to support another state like hover changes we need to upload another image.
Hover functionality for overlay should also support None like fade in, instant.

Likelihood to Recommend

InVision is a super cool design tool well used and reputed in the industry. It supports quick and interactive prototype creation. It provides freehand to scribble concepts using the alt key. Boards are powerful to store and share assets. The collaboration feature in InVision is really cool and supports larger team to work together in the project.
