What differentiates Freehand from other similar products?
InVision is a fantastic tool for building a new website design, from prototype to front-end coding. Invision is also a wonderful location to keep your site designs and layouts. Reduces the time required to explain and re-explain functionality to stakeholders for specific projects. It makes it simple to share a prototype with anyone and give them the impression that they are using the product.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Without a doubt, InVision was designed by experts who have a thorough understanding of all the business processes involved in web design. InVision is much more than just a project management tool for new website designs; it is a true collaboration platform for creative teams. It is extremely beneficial to present and explain project prototypes to all interested parties and familiarize them with the applications/sites before beginning any development work.
What do you dislike most about this product?
I had some problems with my projects loading; perhaps it was a problem on my end, however I am aware of quicker programs. It occasionally fails, for example, when you first visit a new project, the first page does not load and you must refresh the browser to see it.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
This program is highly recommended since it includes all you need, from prototype to system design; it is, in my view, one of the best in its sector.

Great UX development tool for the team.
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Freehand from other similar products?
I began utilizing InVision Studio to allow our development team to easily extract code snippets from components without having to export them to Zeplin. I've been working on improving the navigation on my company's website. It's a fantastic tool for introducing myself and the rest of my team to more in-depth UI/UX development. Good sharing possibilities, and you get three projects for free before you have to pay. It's a big improvement than providing the web team flat wireframes/renders. This may save a lot of time if you obtain input from the development team and stakeholders on a regular basis.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
It has some extremely amazing transition effects (for example, hover versus click interaction). It is really simple to specify where users can click or scroll to reach additional components of the interaction. Another fantastic feature is the ability to animate everything in one go, without the need for many artboards for animation; instead, you have a timeline, much as you would in Adobe Premiere, which is fantastic. Another significant benefit is that the website contains video courses and a Q&A community, and the managers plainly maintain it.
What do you dislike most about this product?
You must add flat pictures to the site, such as your pages and interactions with them. When working on huge interaction designs, having to update pages outside of InVision, remove old pages before reloading, then re-integrate new ones gets laborious. When compared to Sketch, it's not finalized in certain power extensions, but I've imported it back and forth to find this out for myself.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
A fantastic tool for UI/UX design and complicated transitions. It's also beneficial to solicit input and comments from the whole organization or design team, allowing everyone to participate in the process. It's a fantastic environment for learning and practicing UI/UX development and prototyping. It also has a rather short learning curve.

Tool to design prototypes and collect feedback.
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Freehand from other similar products?
Share prototypes with stakeholders and clients to quickly obtain useful input on new concepts we are developing. We came to understand the need of receiving design feedback swiftly so that we could make modifications and begin development as soon as feasible. Before putting their products on the market, my clients were able to validate their product ideas and enhance their UX thanks to InVision. In essence, it removed the element of risk from product selection.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
It was simple to add components to online surveys because to InVision straightforward emulation of actual apps and straightforward linkages to prototypes. The capability of design prototyping appeals to me. At my firm, we frequently use this application to create prototypes, share them with different stakeholders, get their input, and respond to their inquiries in real time on the prototype. Because Invision is so user-friendly, any department can rapidly understand a new design and provide input. I appreciate that the prototypes are clickable, much like a real product would be.
What do you dislike most about this product?
I can't really think of anything I don't like about it, though perhaps if I was more engaged in prototyping I might. However, I just use Invision in my present position to review design prototypes and offer input; for this use case, it works well.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Although InVision is a highly complete prototype tool, you need also take alternative options like Axure into consideration to make sure they match your demands. I advise you to utilize this tool for all design prototypes and to send the prototypes to potential customers and interested parties for feedback.
