Simply the best purpose-build wire framing and design tool. Ability to create pixel-perfect, reusable, assets is terrific.

Working on sketch is awesome. My transition from Adobe XD to Sketch was a good learning process as it was a new tool and with the same kind of work...

What do you like best about Sketch?

I like Sketch because of it's featureset combined with the functionality that has come from all of the plugins. Sketch is an invaluable tool within my work flow. I have never been an Adobe cloud fan. Sketch had a slight learning curve but once I learned which plugins added that wow factor and the keyboard shortcuts that turned tedious into trivial Sketch became my go-to.

I Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sketch?

There is a learning curve but it's much less extreme than some of the better known alternatives. There is not much that I dislike about Sketch. There are a few features that do not always work smoothly but the Sketch team is very active in releasing updates. Each iteration has gotten better and better.

I dislike most that not everyone I share files with has sketch so sharing files is not always as simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Sketch:

If you are looking for a design software that is versatile and has a growing community of templates and plugins, Sketch is an affordable option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sketch solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Sketch primarily for organizing website wireframes and mockups. The boundless canvas combined with guides and all of the features and a plethora of templates makes wireframing more fun. I like that I am able to do discovery, wireframe, mockup, and markup in the same app. The files do get pretty big but that is true with all of the design software that I use.

I wish there was a clearer way to get to pixel perfect designs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sketch?

It's vector based and very similar to Adobe Illustrator Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sketch?

As someone who is used to Adobe Illustrator, Sketch is lacking some of the basic functions that made Illustrator indispensable in the design world. I will always choose that over Sketch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Sketch:

Worth it for wireframing, but other softwares do it better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sketch solving and how is that benefiting you?

Wireframing is made easy in Sketch. I think Illustrator could do the job better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sketch?

Sketch is the first tool that allows our designers and developers to collaborate nearly seamlessly with one another. The ease with which you can design concepts, lay them out almost on platform and then quickly and easily export those assets creates a development pipeline that is quick, efficient and pixel perfect.

Previously we had a solution that cobbled together photoshop with various actions and 3rd party tools like Slicy (great if you are stuck with photoshop!) but Sketch replaces all of that with a simple workflow that our entire team, from designers to developers to product managers, can directly engage with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sketch?

We are always looking for opportunities to remove tools from our pipeline. Unfortunately, even with Sketch viewer, we are still needing to use tools such as Principle (for UX visualization) and PaintCode (for parametric object creation) and these feel like places where Sketch could really grow in.

Particularly the parametric object generation. There are plugins for Sketch but wouldn't it be great if Sketch was able to natively work in parametric contexts (Sketch..buy the PaintCode company, its a perfect fit)... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Sketch:

When we planned our migration we had a designer deliver a full application design in Sketch for a somewhat simple application and then had a developer take that and create xcode storyboards out of it.

This allowed us to judge the design->development process and gauge for ourselves the efficiency gains.

I recommend you do this as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sketch solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sketch dramatically simplifies our design/development pipeline and has reduced the time from Idea to In The App significantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
