Business Problems Solved

Zeplin is a versatile tool that facilitates collaboration between designers and developers, streamlining the design handoff process and minimizing miscommunication. With Zeplin, designers can import screens from software like Photoshop or SketchUp, attach assets, and create convenient diagrams. This enables them to set a high bar for implementing designs and saves time on back-and-forth communication. For developers, Zeplin offers the ability to better understand layouts and be more assertive by providing ways to export assets and CSS code. It captures CSS styles and optimizes their work, making it practical for prototypes and the layout of web applications. Additionally, Zeplin allows for easy sharing of design specs with clients and provides a succinct set of features for viewing, sharing, downloading, and discussing design assets. It acts as a bridge between design and development teams by reducing the communication gap and enabling feedback from stakeholders through shared boards. Its user-friendly interface makes it easy for engineers and designers to share, discuss, and question designs, ultimately saving time, headache, and mistakes due to miscommunication. Overall, Zeplin is widely used by digital product teams, UX designers, and other departments to collaborate effectively on projects.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Zeplin as design tool for new UI of the web. As I tester I refers to design in Zeplin to verify with our webpage. By using this tool, Product owner, Designer, developer, tester are working aligned with product specification and requirements. Before this tool, everyone was not able to work in align.

Pros

Precise testing: Developers can inspect design elements CSS (spacing, fonts, colors, sizes) so that it can set as per the designer
Centralized components color palettes, text styles make it easier for teams to maintain consistency across whole project
Designers, developers, tester and product owner can add comments directly on designs.

Cons

Developer or QA can see static design but cannot see in animation like figma.
I feel like it lacks advance design management system
Role base control is not there

Likelihood to Recommend

The most useful about Zeplin is that we can centrilize design and communicate over that design by adding comments. Which helps to stay on same page for every coress team like product owner, designer, developers and tester. But, Zeplin is not helpful in one thing is that when we have any animation on elements then it is not showing. Overall, I am happy with Zeplin.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Zeplin to share design specs with our clients and discuss UI changes. Zeplin provides us with a succinct but great set of features that lets us see, share, download and discuss design assets.

Pros

Share design screens: being the core of the service, uploading design screens from design software is as easy as it gets
Share and see design specs: Zeplin offers a really handy way to share design specs such as colors, fonts, CSS directives and rules

Cons

Prototype navigation: Zeplin offers navigation between screen using prototype navigation where you can link a screen and draw on top of the screen's elements. However, this is a very basic feature compared to similar apps and services. For instance, you can not assign transition effects or timeouts for transitions.

Likelihood to Recommend

For UI and UX designers, Zeplin is a great tool that allows them to share design screens and specs with other members of their team. For project owners, developers and stakeholders, Zeplin comes in handy when in need of a fast, reliable tool to preview and review design assets and screens.
