## Reviews

### "Prototyping for all" — 5.0/5

> **Chris** | *9 August 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: 1. Generating interactive prototypes incredibly quickly, thanks to a very small learning curve and a reasonably intuitive interface.&#10;2. With a little extra effort, generating high-fidelity prototypes that pretty much match anything other (much) more expensive and complex packages can do.&#10;3. Modifying prototypes on the fly in brainstorming meetings.&#10;4. Openly sharing focused prototypes with others in a few clicks.&#10;5. Dynamically incorporating Balsamiq slides into Miro boards.
> 
> **Cons**: As the creator, when a prototype gets moderately complex, it's easy to get a bit lost as there is no overall graph of the site you have created. You can add a site map as a slide, but it just lists the pages with no way to see the link structure.
> 
> I love it. It's quick, simple, and expressive, the extensive primitives are very helpful, and the more effort you put in the better it gets. It's also incredibly useful to be able to share a prototype as a website and get comments.

### "Balsamiq review" — 5.0/5

> **Nimisha** | *1 January 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Balsamiq's best features are its quick prototyping with an easy-to-use drag-and-drop interface, its ability to help people work together with real-time edits, and its low cost. Users of all skill levels can quickly learn how to use it because it has wireframes that look like sketches, a lot of different uses, and seamless interaction. Respondent customer service makes the experience better for users.
> 
> **Cons**: Some users find that Balsamiq's approach to high-detail design work is limited by the fact that it is meant to be easy and low-fidelity. Its sketch-like look might be a problem for projects that need more polished images, but it works well for early-stage prototyping. Also, some complicated projects might not have access to the more advanced design features that come with other tools.
> 
> I like Balsamiq because it lets me wireframe quickly and easily, has an easy-to-use design, and lets me work with other people. Some people might think that its simplicity makes it hard to use for more complex designs, but it's still a popular choice for fast prototyping and ideation in many design projects.

### "Great way to Prototype applications before full fledge design" — 4.0/5

> **Keerthi** | *23 March 2019* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Balsamiq mockups tool help us to visualize and bring to life the client thoughts and design ideas in a rapid prototyping discussions.  I liked the features to access the components easily, and even develop mobile layouts prototypes.
> 
> **Cons**: There are some usability issues with the overlay features, and the grid content is also difficult to manage.
> 
> The ease of use of this software during client discussions saved lots of misunderstandings and helped prototype the solution wireframes quickly.

### "Quickly turn your ideas into apps in a few simple clicks" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *16 February 2019* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It allowed for faster prototyping and collaboration amongst my product teams.
> 
> **Cons**: Other similar products with similar pricing offered more robust features.

### "A great mockup tool" — 5.0/5

> **Irina** | *11 November 2019* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is easy to use, it is intuitive and you can quickly build mock-ups and export them out as well as share your project. Balsamiq also allows to add some basic click-ability.
> 
> **Cons**: I wish there were more UI elements in the library, and that there was an integration of Balsamiq sketches with prototype tools such as Invision.
> 
> We were (and still partially are) using Balsamiq in the UX class as a learning tool for students so they can build their application sketches. It was easy to setup projects, invite students to use them and to share the projects among teaching staff members.
