I am using Figma as my design tool rather than being a customer of this solution. I do not use Figma's vector network much. I have been using Figma's prototyping capabilities extensively, employing the traditional method of making prototypes rather than the recently released AI-powered prototyping features. This involves simply clicking one component and linking it to another screen. I primarily use plugins for content creation, such as generating names and dates of birth. I previously used a find layer plugin, but Figma now has this capability built-in. The content generation plugins have been helpful, though Figma's AI now offers similar functionality. Regarding UI libraries, I prefer creating my own rather than using pre-made ones. When projects require specific UI kits that developers are using, I adapt them while maintaining control over the design system. Working with Figma has provided significant benefits over the past five years. Recently, I designed a presentation in Figma slides for a university UX workshop. When my laptop could not connect to their network, I was able to easily access my presentation by logging into their computer, demonstrating the advantage of Figma's online platform. Regarding licensing, I have observed that some companies, particularly in Sri Lanka, are hesitant about the seat-based pricing structure. They prefer fixed pricing rather than fluctuating costs based on the number of seats. Many companies continue using the free version due to concerns about unpredictable monthly costs. A more structured pricing model with fixed seat allocations might be more appealing to these organizations. This review rates Figma 10 out of 10.
Don't be intimidated by the user interfaces, especially if you're using it for the first time. You usually have to spend three to four hours playing around to get a full grasp of how it works. Once you get used to using it, it is very intuitive. I would rate this solution a 10 out of 10.

The advice I would give to others looking into using Figma is that it's a great tool. I rate Figma seven out of ten.
While Figma is effective, managing file sizes and layers to mitigate performance issues is essential. I rate it an eight.
