Ease of Use, Powerful Prototyping Capabilities, Interactive Prototype Sharing, Extensive Prototyping Features
Steep Learning Curve, Limited Collaboration Features, Outdated Interface, Limited Platform Flexibility
Overall, Axure RP is a user-friendly prototyping tool that empowers users to create interactive prototypes quickly and efficiently. It is lauded for its intuitive drag-and-drop interface, extensive widget library, and seamless collaboration features. However, some reviewers have expressed concerns regarding its pricing, occasional bugs, and limited flexibility for complex interactions. Despite these drawbacks, Axure RP remains a popular choice among UX designers and product managers seeking a reliable and comprehensive prototyping solution.

Being able program complex state-based logic without any coding.
The interface could be slow and unresponsive at times.
Creating dynamic data driven prototypes, which helps the design team communicate effectively with the engineering team.
Most powerful, easy-to-use wireframing tool. One can quickly build high-fidelity prototypes using simple drag-and-drop options. Using dynamic panels, we can make UI look more realistic. With Axure cloud its easy to share, collaborate with peers.
Image processing tools are unavailable, which makes the users dependent on Graphic designers to get the required icons/custom shapes. Enhance the Pen tool with more options
Visuals convey the message better than words. Axure RP helps thousand of companies to transform their project requirements into Visual requirements. One can see the interface, which is close to the final result and sign off for development,.This tool allows designers to build low to very high fidelity prototypes.
I like how Axure allows you to build clean, complex, highly interactive prototypes
I would like to have more icons, and components to be available by default rather than having to download them from the Axure forum
The initial learning curve may seem steep but once you start using it, the tool is very powerful. Look up helpful videos on the Axure forum.
Axure allows you to build clean, complex, highly interactive prototypes to communicate requirements and design ideas. This allows you to validate decisions prior to development.
I love how I can create visual content for anything with a user interface quickly with Axure. I love how easily I can share those visualizations with team members, whether internal or external. I also love creating my mockups to be as simple or complex as needed. It's excellent for testing and developmentāoutstanding, great tool.
There's not much to dislike. I suppose there are other tools like iRise that offer more of a development-like tool to create more complex mockups, but I've found that the simpler you can make your visualizations, the easier they are to be adopted. Everyone should just keep it simple in my opinion.
Axure is inexpensive and easy to use. Start with a free trial and learn all you can about it. It's a great tool.
We're trying to get to market quickly. Axure allows us to show a mockup of an application or website quickly. This way, we can get the client's feedback and incorporate it into the finished product.
Axure RP is a top-notch wireframing tool. Of the various tools I've used, including Balsamiq and Adobe products, I've found Axure to be the best-in-class solution for wireframing specifically.
The wireframing capability of Axure RP is top-notch. For prototyping, I prefer Adobe XD, which I find easier to use and more powerful in its range of applications.
I used Axure RP to create some robust wireframes for group projects while getting my MFA. Outstanding tool, and I appreciate that Axure offers a free student license (which recently expired for me, so I'm not currently a user of this product).
I've used most prototyping solutions out there, Sketch, Adobe XD, Invision, etc. and I found repeatedly that none of them match that power that Axure has. Occasionally I'll think, "I'll try to build this in [ insert software ]" and most times I regret it. Variables, dynamic states, the pre-built widget library (what a time saver that is!!); all are great.
It's visual design capabilities could continue to use improvement and collaboration. For instance, we are using Figma to form our visual design library because there are a few things we can't do in Axure visually. However, when I go to build a functional page, with dynamic states and everything, I'm reminded that Axure does that far better, so I often end up building 2 things - a visual version and then a functional version. One day I hope to have a tool that does both well!
We use Axure for our really functional software. We can truly see how a product will work and make sure we've worked through how a use case will be done.
Its fast and flexible. There's nothing you CAN'T do with Axure RP.
The tables are actually a very inefficient cluster of rectangles. They can really slow things down sometimes. Also, they are not easy to make look "perfect" without a lot of extra coding.
Axure RP allows all stakeholders to know EXACTLY what to expect of the finished product, before the first line of code has been written.
Axure is the best user-friendly Layout, and I like the prototyping feature that provides flexibility to produce high fidelity prototypes.It is the best software that can add more advantages in terms of team collaboration.
I wouldn't say I like the way the comments are feedback system works. It has to be improved a lot.
I would recommend other UX designers to create high-fidelity prototyping using AxureRP. It is the best software that can add more advantages in terms of team collaboration.
Following are the benefits : Rapid prototyping, with Axure features, we can recreate a high fidelity prototype.
with Axure Teams we can collaborate with other UX designers to take feddback and work simultaniously on the wireframe.
Axure is by far the best tool I've used for UX Design. In previous years I've used Photoshop, Sketch, and briefly Figma. Axure gives me a lot more control without headaches. I can easily simulate animations and transitions right within the tool. No plugins are needed. Pull in shared libraries. The built-in version control is a huge win for this tool. This was completely missing from tools like Sketch, which makes collaboration difficult.
Axure is powerful. Some discretion is needed to not "over-engineer" a prototype or sink a lot of time into the prototyping. For example, my team has decided that anything simulating JS or string manipulation is duplicative and not worth the effort. There is also a steep learning curve for Axure since it is so powerful. So getting up and running takes a little longer, but it is worth the effort.
If your UX team/practice is mature, Axure is a great choice. For speed/leanness, another tool like Sketch may be easier to ramp up on. Axure has a steep learning curve, but it is for sure the best tool I've used for the job. May not be best for newbies.
Axure is amazing for simulating different states as they will look in the coded result. Saves time not having to duplicate the design illustrating different UI states.

I find the most helpful thing about Axure is its ease of use, offering all kinds of design solutions and excellent performance when showing it to colleagues, making it the most helpful tool when creating prototypes.
I do not like the amount of work required to connect lines, having a key to repeat the connections in design with the platform would help tremendously and make the experience even better.
Axure RP helps prototyping the new solutions for us System Analysts that require you to show something in a special way, it helps us be more productive when talking to developers about new jobs.
