Adobe XD Pros and Cons
Pros
  • 'Adobe XD boasts a functional, well-presented interface
  • Prototyping is straightforward (for those with experience)- it doesn’t require additional plugins or services.
  • Collaboration/co-editing is available so you can share files for review and work together in real-time.
  • You can view prototypes on your phone and open files from other Adobe products. 
Cons
  • Although XD comes with illustration tools; you can’t draw custom shapes
  • Although XD is constantly updating itself – although these provide users with great features, things are constantly changing, which can be annoying. Also, these updates sometimes come with bugs. 
  • If you don’t already have a ‘Creative Cloud’ plan, you’ll have to pay a monthly cost to get full use of the features.

"Collaboration made simple"
What do you like best about Adobe XD?

My favorite feature in Adobe XD would have to be prototyping and collaboration. Never before has it been easier to gather feedback from stake holders in your projects.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

XD being a fairly new program is still missing a few features that would make life easier for designers. Simple things like swapping sections of a page without having to create a new artboard would be nice.

What problems is Adobe XD solving and how is that benefiting you?

The biggest benefit we have realized from Adobe XD is a simple way to gather feedback in a centralized portal.

"Come a long way since release"
What do you like best about Adobe XD?

We have been absolutely loving the components and linked assets. Its been a brilliant way to share our design system between teams

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

I do think the prototyping needs some work. There are lots of funky features but it's lacking some core robust functionality. Only today it refused to sync my pages because everything had to be linked to the homepage for some odd reason, quite limiting.

What problems is Adobe XD solving and how is that benefiting you?

Collaboration between visual design and UX design.

"Adobe XD user"
What do you like best about Adobe XD?

I like that the software offers both designing and prototyping tools which allows me to create projects without using multiple apps. I like that once created the prototypes can be previewed on mobile devices. Its a very easy to learn software

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

Installing this software requires a large space on your device’s and it take alot of internal memory. This software has a monthly cost it cannot be purchased outright.

What problems is Adobe XD solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being able to preview the prototype on my mobile before going live, also being able to share the prototype with customers/members of the team that dont even have Adobe XD installed

"Poweful tool for UX and prototyping"
What do you like best about Adobe XD?

The experience I have had with Mockups for web pages with Adobe XD, I emphasize how well it works and the advantages of framing the entire design of an application. The process of designing and developing a web or mobile app organizing the idea of what one wants best. It's much easier.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

Like Sketch, XD does not have image editing tools. You will need some Adobe products to edit.

What problems is Adobe XD solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's not the easiest tool to use. If you know about other Adobe products, many of the tools will be the same or you will feel familiar.

"ADOBE XD is the best for create Prototype"

Adobe XD support to import asset for design. Support for collaborate with other designers who both use Windows and Mac.This tools can export many type of file. Live preview is awesome feature for live preview for prototype on IOS Devices. Adobe XD have good performance when we control with interface is extremely easy and fluent.

Adobe XD don't have tool for copy format like format painter it help to fast copy format. Sometime of the keyboard shortcuts feel get a hang of it quite quickly and we need to close and reopen the project. It can't export to generate css file for implement web design.

What problems is Adobe XD solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Adobe XD for create prototype to present and describe user before implement project.

"Adobe -XD is a great tool"
What do you like best about Adobe XD?

Interface is very clean. So if you are used to Sketch it will be easy for you to work in Adobe XD. If you use Photoshop or Illustrator for interface design Adobe XD may seem a little deserted in the begining. It has much less functionality but just enough to design awesome apps or websites.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

No CSS export. Unfortunately there’s no way to extract CSS code from your design to simplify the work for developer. It is even possible in Photoshop (which is raster based) with the help of Zeplin plugin. But there is no such function in XD.

What problems is Adobe XD solving and how is that benefiting you?

My recommendation will be to talk with developers you are going to work with if they feel comfortable using XD. Some developers prefer Photoshop.If you are Windows user then sure you should start using Adobe XD instead of Photoshop.

"Adobe XD User Review"
What do you like best about Adobe XD?

I love that Adobe has UI kits you can download to use in your own XD projects. Also, my favorite feature is being able to upload your projects online as an interactive prototype - very useful.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

I don't really inherently dislike anything about XD. It is so much better than similar prototype software, like InVision, in my opinion. Watching the tutorial at the beginning is so helpful and insightful, but if you don't watch it, I guess XD would be considered slightly confusing to navigate/use.

What problems is Adobe XD solving and how is that benefiting you?

The online prototype publish feature is the biggest benefit in my opinion. Being able to share an interactive version of your designs wit coworkers, peers, etc. is a huge benefit.

"Great prototyping and simple design tool"
What do you like best about Adobe XD?

Not being a designer by any means, Adobe XD allows me to visually prototype ideas and projects to transfer to my team, as well as create simple graphical layouts for promotional material. Our product development team relies on XD for product design and prototyping.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

The curve function is a bit tough, as well as the masking function. Would love a simple image crop tool.

What problems is Adobe XD solving and how is that benefiting you?

Acting as a stand in marketing department for a small, fast moving company.

"Excellent tool, but needs to evolve"
What do you like best about Adobe XD?

Seamless compatability with the other Adobe Creative Suite products. Vector creation tolls Advanced alignment and replication capabilities. Easy team collaboration

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

Basic functions found in WYSIWYG tools are not present. Bullets? Why would I need a plugin for that? No control for font ligatures. Sharing with clients can be an unpredictable experience. PDF exports are often massive, no fine controls. Client comments are often difficult to work with.

What problems is Adobe XD solving and how is that benefiting you?

One of my favorite features is the ability to have my entire team working on the same project at the same time. This is a huge time saver and vastly reduces, or even eliminates, the number of comp versions we provide for a given project.

"Adobe XD is a solid, light weight program!"
What do you like best about Adobe XD?

That I can design the asset library, wireframes, layouts, interactivity, and share with my coworkers.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

I think it's going to be replaced by Figma and I'll have to remake our whole library.

What problems is Adobe XD solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're an insurance startup and there's lots of different things to design everyday. Emails, downloadable documents, applications, landing pages, and user flows. I can do it all inside one program.

"Very robust UX/UI design tool that is easy for collaboration"
What do you like best about Adobe XD?

Adobe XD is a comprehensive design and prototyping tool that offers an intuitive user interface, interactive prototyping capabilities, and design assets management system. What I liked about this tool is that it integrates seamlessly with Adobe Illustrators and other Creative Cloud tools.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

The one downside that I find troublesome is it doesn't offer a built-in option for building and editing vector illustrations and animations, which I have to export to Adobe Illustrator.

What problems is Adobe XD solving and how is that benefiting you?

Adobe XD allows users to illustrate the wireframe and prototype the design of software to help with collaborating with team members and clients by sharing design prototypes and gathering feedback directly within the prototype.

"Adobe XD for UX"
What do you like best about Adobe XD?

I like that if you are an Adobe user and familiar with their other products (especially Illustrator and Photoshop) then you can easily use XD. Since all of their shortcuts and ways to navigate are the same throughout their products, its easy to learn how to do XD.

What do you dislike about Adobe XD?

I do not like that you must create a new prototype link for sharing every time you change the design. In Figma, all changes are automatically updated in the shared prototype link you would use for testing. You also can't see your hotspots in the preview to know which wires are already set up.

What problems is Adobe XD solving and how is that benefiting you?

XD will help you create screens and flows you can share and collaborate with your team and use for usability testing.
