App Builder

Avantages

The software was designed in a way that made it easy to prototype, and also easy to make fast updates.

Inconvénients

hrmmm... code generation from it is not too flexible. If I could generate code that worked with android fully, using differnetly layout designs, that would be cool. i.e. fragments.

Avantages

Ease of use, lots of UI controls for what we needed to build our user interface. The Grid control was really rich easily configured.

Inconvénients

I didn't like the databinding limitations, we use cloud links that our dev team created - but they have since added that feature, so we are going to use it next!

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

The control toolbox is limited and never seems to be updated. The portal where you can find public projects to learn from is sparse and it seems that Infragistics never contributes new ones to review and only has a couple of examples. The customer license portal is limited as well.

Avantages

I love how I can easily add UI elements to the page and how it gives me a tool to tell my developers exactly how I want a page to be laid out. Also, screen parts are very useful and save me a ton of time when designing storyboards.

Inconvénients

I hate the fact that table cells aren't containers, so if I want to put a button in there, it's just an overlay that doesn't follow the table. Also, there's no really good way to several enter notes about particular UI elements. I can add callouts and notes, but that gets very unwieldy after 7 or so notes.

Avantages

I love the fact that we can make it so realistic it looks and behaves like the real tool and allows us to test. The creation of a URL we can share with the teams and update is great too.
The animations are great! Very easy for the UX team to show the Dev team what we need.

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

Inconvénients

I would like and enhances ability to control fonts (add my own) and also control the look of scroll bars.

Avantages

I really like the base version of the software because it is free and has enough features to be relevant and make a good prototype. I like how there is a free version and the chance to get an academic license because students really enjoy using the software to make prototypes and express their ideas. I enjoy the elements provided, features and the options for viewports. The prototype can be as advanced or as simple as the person wants it to be. I like the ability to save my projects directly to my personal workspace which makes it easy to work on the go.

Inconvénients

The program can be pretty confusing to use if you overlook the tutorials and video that are presented to you from Infragistics. I personally teach a course on App Design Prototype and I use Indigo to do so. I present a demonstration in the class and show the students where everything is and how things work. The students really enjoy the demo and it helps them understand the software.
I think that the Indigo Essentials version should still let you share your prototypes with people via links! Is there a way to delete projects I have saved to my personal workspace?

Avantages

Intuitive and has the needed features to create most common prototype challenges that me and my team are facing. In comparison to existing products out there, indigo is by far, superior. It is helping us approach users with high end prototypes, fast, accurate and with no development efforts. My design team has become powerful and independent! Plus we are all aligned and on the same page using the collaboration Indigo tools.

Inconvénients

Rendering is a bit slow maybe due to the Silverlight engine. No palette saving. No typography details. Complex prototypes get really slow and break. Not enough of collaborative design. Still, need some enhancements to compete with prototyping tools that exist in today's market.

Avantages

It is does not have a steep learning curve; that is, it is easy to get the hang of within a few minutes of playing around with it, especially if you have used a similar software before.

Inconvénients

Downloading the software was a tedious process, because I had to install and update several systems and program before I could even download Indigo.

Avantages

It's very intuitive and user-friendly. Also, it's great that Infragistics makes their products available for students free of charge for one year.

Inconvénients

I haven't found anything I don't like yet, though I have only used it for wireframing so I can't speak to all of the features.

Avantages

The ability to share prototypes and get almost immediate feedback has helped me multiple times with my academic and professional work. Everything is simple and easy to understand, even to people like me who know only basic coding.

Inconvénients

When using it on Windows I cannot use copy and paste on my prototypes. Also when using responsive layouts, my images and background images disappear in screenshots.

Avantages

We looked at all the wireframing tool on the market, and none have the features that Indigo Studio has. The ability to be able to deploy wireframes as a site is invaluable to our proposal process.

Inconvénients

There are a few small lingering bugs, but nothing so bad as to stop us from using the product. This mostly has to do with text entered in wireframes.

Avantages

Its got alot of features and is easy to use. Positive outcomes and quick deployment give me more chances to find an open opportunity.

Inconvénients

Some of it was not easily understood. Maybe better shortened summaries to explain it differently in some areas.

Avantages

Its getting better by the month. The usability is fine.

Inconvénients

API integration still very poor and there is no entry pricing plan.

Avantages

The product is incredibly intuitive and easy to use. I cannot overstate that fact any more if I could. Viewing and mapping out your actions leading to other views makes knowing where you are at a given point simple and straightforward. The addition of tools that bridge the gap to Visual Studio coding is amazing, to say the least.

Inconvénients

The only gripe I have was the addition of a tool called Screenparts after my trial had expired and I was not able to use without buying a license. It seemed to have been exactly what I had needed to not have to create the same toolbar of buttons that needed to go to the same screens. The buttons and everything were copyable between screens, but the functionality was lost.

Avantages

It is very easy to use. It has a lot of functionality. I can safe my work very easy.

Inconvénients

There are some features missing. Icons are missing, aligning things together,

Avantages

Ease of use, ability to rapidly produce insightful wire-frames for development teams.

Inconvénients

None. It covers all my needs.

Avantages

The end product and design drawings are amazing and detailed and was less expensive than hiring a professional service

Inconvénients

The software is a little difficult to navigate for someone who is not IT trained or familiar with similar types of software

Avantages

It was easy to start designing a decent-looking UI.

Inconvénients

The system to add data sources was poorly documented and cumbersome to use. Then some modification in there made the whole app unusable.

Avantages

The produced Angular code quality and ease of use.

Inconvénients

There could be more predefined apps and app templates

Avantages

Easy to build a realistic version of the proposed software and then demonstrate its features. 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.

Inconvénients

When I last used it could not do different states on the same page so be able to hide/show different controls/portions of the page.

Avantages

The interface is neat and simple tp use.
Various customization options are available.
It was easy for me to understand the first time i opened Indigo studio. It was pretty easy to navigate around.
I was able to create my prototype in less than 5 hours. I was able to correct the design and other functionality with the help of this prototype, such as animation, Transitions and editable contents.
i was able to receive feed back from my faculty members and i was able to change to UI instantly.
I was able to present the entire product which was actually equal to the final product.

Inconvénients

Sometimes there is a lag while constructing huge prototype.
Paid version are quite expensive wish they were a bit more cheaper.

Avantages

This is helpful in doing a run though with my team mates to see what we're missing. It's also helpful in getting feedback.

Inconvénients

It's is difficult to collaborate with others. There should also be additional features for the mobile stuff.

Avantages

Lots of features, nice collection of UI elements, I especially appreciate there is a separate collection of iOS elements.

Inconvénients

Perhaps a little bit too expensive to renew. Learning how to use some more advanced features takes some time, it would be nice if there were some video tutorials (perhaps there are).

Avantages

The speed and ease at which you can produce a rapid prototype is great. It gives you a way to share ideas and concepts without taking the time needed to code the entire project.

Inconvénients

I wish it was more tightly integrated into a production environment to help expedite the creation process as well.

Avantages

I like the rather intuitive and simple manner of the layout. While many capabilities are available, the software does not press or require one to use them all unless they want to.

Inconvénients

So far, I haven't found a least liked feature. But if I had to pick one, is that as the domain expands and everyone is scrambling to follow their own standards and customizations of UX design/workflow, there is the rub - investing in proprietary software.
