PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

• Figma is a browser-based design tool similar in features and functionality to Sketch.
• The use cases of Figma include user experience design, user interface design, prototyping, graphic design, wireframing, brainstorming, and designing templates.
• Some of Figma's features include design constraints, Boolean operations, pixel-perfection, vector networks, streamlined prototyping, components, team libraries, defined styles, collaboration features such as commenting, copywriting, and multiplayer editing.
• The 'Starter' plan is free, while the 'Professional' is priced at $12 per editor/month when billed annually, and $15 per editor/month when billed monthly. The 'Organization' plan is priced at $45 per editor/month, billed annually.

STRENGTHS

• One of Figma's strengths is that it is platform-independent, that is, it is not tied to any tech ecosystem such as Apple or Windows. Rather, it has a browser-based tool that can be accessed anywhere in the world, in addition to providing standalone apps for Apple and Windows.
• Figma has a free option that provides reasonable functionality. This reduces the barrier to entry and therefore, encourages easier adoption.

WEAKNESS

• While Figma currently has version history, which saves every 30 minutes, it does not have action history, which means that it is impossible for users to cancel certain actions.
