I use it to design and prototype business web applications for European Institutions.
Good reputation from peers Easier communication with customers recognized as UX professional
PROSVery fast designing process including the magic ALT-click. The concept of State for screens and the associated navigation pane The animation timeline that is intuitive and easy to use. Regular updates that brings new stuffs based on user requests. I really appreciate this approach that most companies don't put in practice. The Sharing functionality that is easy to use and allow us to show and collect feedback of users. In the last versions, the integration of Google Fonts The screenparts that help us to go faster by reusing parts including animations and states Lat but not least, the user support is one of the best I had. Thanks again to these guys!
CONSIt's still tricky to use it behind our company firewall. Seems to be fixed in the lasts versions but still unstable. e.g. it lost the sign in quite often. The pricing policy is quite expensive so we limit our number of licences.

Easy to learn and use. Has some great features that allows collaboration and usability testing.
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.
CONSI would like and enhances ability to control fonts (add my own) and also control the look of scroll bars.

Good but limited
Overall been fairly positive but it seems that infragistic until recently didn't invest much time improving the product.
PROSWe use the product because its pretty quick to produce a prototype. Looking forward to the new code generation feature for Blazor.
CONSThe 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.
Reason for choosing App Builder
It came with our Infragistic subscription at the time so we used it.
Reasons for switching to App Builder
Loved the ability to publish the prototype and send users a link to review.
Vendor Response
Thank you for your feedback! I am glad that you are looking forward to the upcoming Blazor beta release, hope you will like it! As for the toolbox, if you are referring the App Builder one, we are constantly updating the it with new components, check out the monthly release blogs that we have for more information. https://www.infragistics.com/community/blogs As for the predefined examples our dev team has a dozen new samples as part of the roadmap, that are planned to be started next year, thank you for mentioning that!

Overall, I have enjoyed using Indigo to create various prototypes and taught it to my coworkers.
I got to use this program for one of my IT classes in which we had to develop an app prototype to solve or remedy a social program. Aside from this, I have taught the basics of this class (elements, interactions, animations, etc) to several coworkers at my job at Rutgers University.
PROSI 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.
CONSThe 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?

Indigo studio is a great replacement to wireframing and protoptyping tools like Axure and Balsamiq
Ability to create interactive prototypes with animations quickly and also ability to sync with Sketch to reuse artifacts . Usability testing is something which starting to get used in our workflow.
CONSRestrictions on Fonts and Libraries pushes me to use Sketch more often and since Sketch is catching up on prototyping ...value of using Indigostudio is getting low because of these limitations

Beginner Friendly with Slight Confusion
My overall experience with App Builder has been pretty good. The App Builder has allowed to create simple prototypes, but the functionalities can be a bit confusing when there’s a lot of required actions.
PROSThis software that Indigo Design has equipped its users to create prototypes is great. It’s easy to understand when you are going through the motion of understanding the app.
CONSMy least favorite features is the division between the different applications in Indigo Builder and the functionalities of the applications. The software can be a bit hard to use because some of the functionality are unavailable or can only be used for certain actions.
Reasons for switching to App Builder
I made the switch because these applications were easier to use in a time crunch.

Easy to get started with a good array of tools
It helps me easily create attractive prototypes to present to management and our product design team.
PROSAs a software engineer who works on legacy software with an unfriendly UI I thought "I'll bet I can come up with something better." Indigo Studio makes it easy to develop a prototype of a better way that I can present to management and our product designers. I really like that I can easily create not just static mockups, but functional prototypes. And from an engineering perspective, it's nice that there's no code involved so management can't say "It looks great. Ship it!" It really is just a prototype.
CONSI wish the included tools were a bit more customizable. For instance, backgrounds can only be one color, not a gradient. Also, the chart control only allows you to set the type of chart but nothing more about it, though that can be explained away as "it's just to show a chart goes here." Finally, it would be nice if the code snippets panel was editable to allow for even more customization.

PROS- Easy to Use - Key features like designing for different break points, Usability Testing, export screens as PNG , Downloading as HTML
CONSCrashes very frequently Customization of components like textbox, dropdown is not possible. Software becomes slow once the files get heavy

Perfect for what we needed it for, but incredibly frustrating when it wasn't playing along
Using this program for class made prototyping highly streamlined, and allowed us to jump directly into building something without having too much to worry about learning toolsets. Sharing files made collaboration relatively easy.
PROSI like how it allows you to re-use work that you've already done, instead of having to rebuild menus that would normally be re-used throughout anyway.
CONSOften times, it's difficult to see when something has gone wrong, and fixing something that has gone wrong - Once you have a number of layers going together, on top of one another, and something isn't working the correct way, it's almost impossible to get looking the way you want it to without rebuilding the entire scene. And if something is going wrong in a bit that you're re-using across the entire app, that behavior may not be consistent throughout the build.

I used Indigo Design Studio for an IT project to create an app prototype for a Big Data "company".
-Was able to significantly impact our project for the better and make it come to life with the prototype design
PROSI liked how it was easy to use and the interface was very simple. It integrated common features of an iPhone and was easy to use for other people when interacting with our prototype for the first time. Indigo Design helped our prototype to appear professional and realistic and really helped our project to come to life. The ease of use with integrating outside images was also extremely helpful to our design strategies.
CONSThere's no option for a cloud based sharing component of Indigo. We were working as a team so it would have been easier if two people could collaborate on the design at one time. It was a bit hard to overcome that obstacle but overall we were able to make it work.

Desktop indigo studio is much better than Indigo design
The desktop version of the indigo studio has advantages over all the competitors with building and designing interactive prototypes. unfortunately, it's not supported any more in IOS so it lost the most important advantage.
CONSIn complicated prototypes, there is a performance issue

Being able to create professional-looking works
PROSI 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.
CONSI 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

I have worked in Balsamiq and made the switch to Indigo and LOVE the enhanced features.
Ease of use. Extremely ease to design and setup interactions. Testing is a breeze!
PROSThe ability to bring Balsamiq work into Indigo is a huge plus. Also the ability to have features and animation abilities that are very easy to configure. The training videos are a GREAT!
CONSThe only downside is I found it difficult to copy an element without making a screen part. Could be my lack of experience.
