IBM Design Thinking Internship

It is user-friendly and sounds a great alternative for prototyping. The customer service is very good too.

Business Implementation Consultant

The ability to bring Balsamiq work into Indigo is a huge plus. Also the ability to have features and animation abilities that are very easy to configure.

Direct Support Specialist

It's a very cost-efficient option that comes with amazing depth and variety. The interface is also very user friendly and simple to use.

Digital Designer

The good things in there are so many, but most of all I liked how easy is to provide lots of info into one exercise and make sure you always complete tasks when needed.

Director

It "kills" itself sometimes somehow. Poor functionality/elements for designing/prototyping for responsive designs.

Designer

I liked it very much, very user friendly and easy to share and gather feedback.

Consultant

Overall I think the experience is pretty good, the learning curve is normal and easy to learn it in a short time and integrate with the existing process.

Senior UI/UX Designer

The customizability of this product is very limited. We're not able to customize the design of premade components and their theme is very limited.

UX-strategist

My biggest concerne is with performance. It is painfully slow to work with and that is the main reason we abandoned it in my consultancy.

UX Designer

Customer support is awesome. Here is a company that really listens to users and develops features we really need and use.

Software Engineer

It provides an easy way to integrate with a sketch that's what I really love about. Also, it comes up with the new feature of creating usability study.

Pretty good/Easy to use/Provide tons of useful information.

UI Designer

I loved the concept and as a UI designer, I know it's going to make a lot of lives easier in product teams.

Solution Architect

Can also use to test ideas and alternative views/implementations. Most importantly things like buttons etc can take you to other views/screens/pages - so can get the real flow of an application.

When you are doing the usability test on mobile it is hard to find the task during the test if you have forgotten what exactly you have to do.

Student

Easy to use, simple design, but also looks cool.

We use the product because its pretty quick to produce a prototype. Looking forward to the new code generation feature for Blazor.

Project got shelved in the meantime due to other business opportunities, but minimal costs.

App Builder screenshot: Everything you design results in production-ready HTML, TypeScript & CSS for Angular and Razor and SCSS for Blazor (with React and Web Components coming soon).

App Builder screenshot: Use pre-built themes and typography (Material, Bootstrap & Fluent) or customize to match your own app theme and corporate branding on a per-control, per-screen, or per-app basis.

Anima

Product Manager

We were always working with new product that come from great ideas, we need save more time in order to validate the ideas, and it was super great that Anima can help us to achieve that.

Lead Designer

The responsive tools are great and the ability to build in certain functions such as text input, interactions, video etc. has helped us bring our designs to life and present them to our clients.

Developer 

Good design tool to make prototype and work on your project. It's great that It allows converting your design from various apps like XD , Figma directly to usable code.

The support team have been particularly reactive and helpful, which is really appreciated.

Owner, Founder

It was horrible you made me look unprofessional qhen im certified as a dev. I cant believe your team is like this and how adobe linked itself to you.

full stack dev

Anima integration with Fygma is a very fluid workflow, even we the free product we knew what to expect. Using the paid product was easy and useful.

Owner

I find plugins sometimes dont work especially on the Figma side. I did get stuck in finding my way around the platform.

Web Designer

It is does not convert everything and still requires some hand tweaking--but because I did not create the HTML, this is more difficult than if I had started from scratch.

Software Engineer 

Some features arent straight forward. User interface can be at sometimes confusing.

Experience with Anima was mind-blowing, we have reconsidered our approach to prototyping. We have developed new business opportunities with limited cost thanks to this product.

The easy integration with Figma because I use figma extensively, The export options react, vue, html with styling.

Anima may/should add unit tests to the generated code (we may have missed it though). Anima may/should provide a cloud based IDE for peer coding.
