Which program is more convenient for a UX designer to prototype?

Question

Layouts and prototypes

Used only axure and ninjamock. Share your experience, where else is it convenient to work?
In ninjamock, I especially liked that everything was in the cloud and it even worked from different computers.
UPD: I stopped at a bunch of Photoshop CC + marvel app + pixate

Answer 1

Comparison of prototyping
tools www.cooper.com/prototyping-tools
I used Axure, Pencil and NinjaMock
For simple tasks NinjaMock is great, you can create 3 projects in the free version.
Now the invisionapp service is very popular, and marvelapp is for presentations and showing to customers, it is convenient to work with clouds.

Answer 2

I sat on Axure for a year and a half . I have not found analogues for myself yet. But in parallel I use Balsamiq .
I decided for myself, Axure - if you need to reach the level of understanding, and demonstrate something in dynamics, changing; Balsamiq - if necessary, it's trite to draw a sketch ("mockup") of the page and push it into the TOR or transfer it to the designer.
When it comes to convenience, I prefer Balsamiq. I draw all mockups immediately under the Twitter bootstrap framework, and in balsamic it is the easiest. There are icons there, and similar colors are quickly selected and there are enough elements. In akshura, you have to suffer longer. Especially with tables and icons.
Where in balsamic I draw a sketch for some kind of task in 5-10 minutes, in acupuncture it takes about 20 minutes to tinker. And it still looks trashy.

Answer 3

Indigo Studio, Axure RP

Answer 4

a very good article from Habr that will help you make a choice. And as always, the comments are more interesting than the article itself.

Answer 5

Worked in many prototyping programs. As a result, I settled on Invision. I do not want to offend anyone with this, but Axure, this is the last century. A lot of studios in the USA work according to the Illustrator + Invision scheme.

Answer 6

For novice designers, I recommend the Axure Pro tutorial

HTML/CSS (HAML/Sass)
