Oct 7, 2024
Sketch is such a great design tool, I like how simple and easy it is to use it. I fell in love with this tool since the first time I started using it because it has the essential features you need to build a design, nothing more, nothing else.

Sketch is a great tool for the masses, but it's not as flexible as we need it to be.

Sketch Likes & Dislikes

Like

Generally speaking, I like the way their tools and pages are organized, it makes me perform my work more efficiently. I love their symbols and clonning functionalities, by using symbols I can use the same portion of design across multiple pages, and make changes to them without affecting the original symbol. Their clonning functionality is also really helpful when I need to create a large list of items or a table with many rows.

Like

Works very well on Mac, the UI is familiar and intuitive (very apple like). Responisve prototypes (resizing) is very helpful for the different layouts we like to test.

Like

Great UI, Easy to use, Prototyping experience is great

Dislike

It's not something that I dislike at all but their Mac application consumes too much memory when dealing with big files, causing the app to crash unexpectedly. However, it has improved with the years.

Dislike

collaboration isn't live, which is a real time suck for us (if we weren't on a team of multiple people it would be fine otherwise). It's mac only, and as the team grows, Sketch won't be sustainable because of the collaboration of non-designers (the teammates who use macs). We've had issues with our plug ins for sketch, and I can see us needing to use more in the future which worries me.

Dislike

Pricing is high, need to offer more capabilities as competition is high now

    Sketch works seamlessly with MacOS and allows us to rapidly develop design and prototypes. I particularly like the ease of use of the software in Macbook, iPhone and iPads. Has a very feature rich plugins library. Vector editing tooling is first class allowing us to easily edit shapes and icons.
