Sketch
Sketch application is the choice of UX/UI designers. But in the last 2, we have seen many new competitors for Sketch’s crown. 2 of them that have made the most oversized walk are Figma and Adobe XD.
The Sketch is used primarily for by-product designs & recently by the marketing team when working on web projects. The Sketch is a more ideal web screen design platform when collaborating with a group and working on the same tasks instead of our traditional approach.
All the UX designers use the sketch at most of the company and some graphic designers. It is our number one go-to design tool for creating interfaces and mockups. It holds an entire design system and patterns to quickly make all the developers’ designs need for interfaces. Sketch allows an agency to make highly professional landing pages, illustrations, slides, pitch decks, diagrams, etc. Designers can export presets and code with some plugins or extensions, which is lovely to create websites after using that code.

Figma
Figma is a standard software & it’s smooth to make layouts and then convert them into the real-time development web screens.
The monitor part is beneficial to fast to retrieve the css and the characteristics of the elements. Sharing and feedback between teams and customers are helpful.
And if more than one designer in your team wants to sync on the same project, there is no better time to stay in sync and work on the same screens simultaneously.
Figma is an excellent Software. It can get a little slow if a project is too big. And also run into some small bugs with updating libraries and propagating those changes through other files. The issues resolve themselves when you restart the Figma desktop client, in any case.

Invision Studio
An InVision is a cloud-based software and design-centric platform, and It increases experience & businesses of all sizes. It also makes and handles prototypes.
It allows users to sync, test, and experiment with designing templates and ideas on their screens.
An inVision is a great tool to present designs to your clients and communicate with them effectively. Before existing InVision, making a design proposal was much effort: capture a jpg, send it, the client will pass it to PDF, make notes on that document to send it back with feedback. All this process, which may sound like prehistory, is relatively recent. However, since InVision exists, you can directly upload the project you are doing, you can update it, and the client can leave comments on the same design.
