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

The product was surprisingly easy to use, especially building a flexible layout.

Inconvénients

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. No integration with Figma yet.

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

Ease of use , the kind of interactions I can showcase and most importantly secure url sharing with clients.

Inconvénients

Missing gradients, option to switch off changes to child states incase of changes required in parent and improve no of things you can define in central styles

Avantages

Its really easy to use and learn and to pick up

Inconvénients

Templates could be better, and could be more interactive

Avantages

What I like most about the software is that it saves massive amounts of time when it comes to showcasing a product because you can share your vision with others without actually having it created through extraneous amounts of coding. 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. Indigo's quality is top notch, as it can provide prototypes that already look like finished products. It is a go to for any developer seeking to extend their unfinished vision in an illustrative way.

Inconvénients

What I like least about the software is simply that it can be sometimes difficult to understand how to locate and use everything properly. But, thankfully the tutorials and customer service easily clears up a lot of the confusion if utilized.

Avantages

Easy to use and contains a lot of functionality and elements to create and test our mockups. It also great support platform if we run into problems.

Inconvénients

I would like to see that the elements to be used in the software are more and faster up-to-date to current standards. For example there are a lot of icons, but no Google Material Design icons. Also Material design screenparts would be nice.

Avantages

The software generally does not have a high learning curve allowing for people to learn how to make simple applications. Of course it is nothing too advanced, but helps generate interest in people who would've thought it was impossible before.

Inconvénients

Some things were laggy depending what platform you were using. Some features of indigo were hard to use or hard to link. This was especially so if you made a mistake as some issues were unforgiving and took time to fix or recreate. Another issue was when trying to get multiple users to work on the same project. Some things weren't transferred correctly and had to be redone multiple times.

Avantages

The thing I love most about Indigo Studio is the interactive ability to click and select any type of icons/widgets/buttons without going into detailed tools selection. Some other programs that have prototype design require the designer to learn different snips of code, whereas Indigo allows anyone to just pick up the software and use it.

Inconvénients

I wish the software had more features. There is already a lot of things indigo can do, however, if I wanted more specifics, such as a dynamic flowing interface that changed different buttons and widgets based on swipe, Indigo does not have a tool for that. Indigo does have all the basics for buttons and features for different prototypes, but I feel this can grow with time.

Avantages

I was trying to create different components on the SPA app and seems a good co-relation with the Angular UI framework.

Inconvénients

I found hard another abstraction layer on top of the Angular Framework. At some point I felt like is difficult to engage with the tool.

Avantages

I like its versatility and ease of use the most. Even as a complete beginner, when I first the product, it was very accessible and provided many options that helped me polish my work to make it look professional.

Inconvénients

I can't quite think of any cons at the moment. I do wish some there was some sort of way that could make transitioning easier to maneuver

Avantages

I like that you can make quite advanced prototypes.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

Easiest software I worked with since starting

Inconvénients

Nothing bad I can say about this software

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.
