With tools like whiteboard collaboration, dynamic prototyping, comments, device preview, video calling, user testing, version control and design handoff, InVision is already a colossal force in the prototyping space, but when you factor in its Sketch and Photoshop integrations, it becomes an all-in-one design suite, especially when you throw in Craft, the Sketch/Photoshop Plugin that brings a lot of that functionality directly into your design app of choice. InVision App is the largest and most successful design collaboration tool currently on the market, the primary go-to tool for serious designers and enterprise teams alike. This article was updated in March 2019 to reflect the current state of the prototyping tools market. TL DR-here’s a swift comparison of prototyping tools. Many of these tools appear to be converging on a feature set that defines the role of the modern user experience designer. Plus, there’s now a clear divide between desktop tools with cloud sharing (Adobe XD, Axure, Balsamiq, Sketch+InVision) and collaborative online tools (Figma, UXPin, Fluid UI, Proto.io). Some apps like UXPin are also taking care of the wireframing stages, whereas others like InVision App are bridging the gap between designer and developer by offering design handoff tools. Clients want to be involved, and email isn’t cutting it anymore. Stakeholder feedback and user testing is now taking a far greater role in UI design and this new generation of tools aims to connect these two previously separate stages of the design process. Since we first wrote this article back in 2015, countless design apps have dominated (and changed) the prototyping space.

With these prototypes, we’ve been able to sell more digital products before product release dates, which has helped to secure many contracts and new business relationships that continue to this day.Want to learn UX from the ground up?

It’s easier to market designs to potential buyers with clickable prototypes than with screenshots.
Using the clickable prototypes we created in InVision, we are able to get more effective feedback to solve user workflow issues before we spend time and money developing problematic designs (and later having to redesign them). It’s, understandably, difficult for people to provide effective feedback on screenshots. InVision helps us save production time, effort, and cost, as we are able to solve design issues early in the process by having clickable prototypes to show to internal stakeholders and external users.This has led to more productive conversations that, in turn, lead to more effective end products that have more consistently served our business goals in tangible ways. Once we began to use this app, where stakeholders could click through and comment as though they were “real” users, stakeholders began to better understand our work, designs, and workflows.
In the past, we would create PowerPoints with screenshots to portray a user workflow that we would share out to stakeholders.
