Review of 16 User Interface Design Tools
“People constantly ask me what the best prototyping or mockup tool is. My standard answer is “whichever tool you are most comfortable/experienced with.” But just to cover all the bases and make sure that I’m not missing out on the “silver bullet”, I decided to do a review of all the tools that I’m aware of. You could (and probably should) distinguish between pure mockup tools (e.g. “Pencil”) and tools for creating interactive prototypes (e.g. Adobe’s soon to be released product code named “Thermo”), but for the purposes of this matrix, I lumped them all together, and I noted which have interactive capabilities and which don’t.”
From Russell Wilson at Dexo Design. This is a very thorough matrix that describes many different tools based on task as well as functionality and technology. The comments also include a lot more useful information.
