Only good for mockups
XD is not a multi-purpose tool like Sketch. It is not a good tool for logos, icons, or other design assets.

Repeat grid is a timesaver
Creating a list of items is simple with "repeat grid." Just create one and use repeat grid to duplicate that item vertically or horizontally. Then drag and drop text or images to create unique entries for each repeated item.

Interactive mockups
XD allows you to wire any object to any destination page so that clicking a button asset will take you to a page that you specify. Mockups can also simulate a scrolling page or window.

Powerful animations and interactions
Origami was actually built to help Facebook designers work on Paper, one of Facebook's latest apps. Every animation that is coded into Origami was first made for Paper. It uses powerful 3D effects and some of the most advanced features for scrolling, tapping and swiping to create a faithful and interactive prototype.

Con
•••
Steep learning curve
Origami is a toolkit for Quartz Composer, and unfortunately the learning curve for it is quite steep. Especially for beginners.

Pro
•••
Native testing
Developers can develop their prototypes with origami through their desktops, but the testing itself is done on the native devices.

Top
Con
•••
Mac only
Since Origami is not an app in and on itself, but a plugin for Quartz Composer, which is built by Apple. Therefore, Origami is only available for Mac and for a developer to download and use it, they need to register as an Apple Developer.

Versatile, can do flows, wire-framing and straight to prototype in one app
It's fast, reliable, can generate a prototype from wire-frames very quickly. Can go from low-fidelity to high-fidelity by just modifying, the level of interactions far surpasses the Sketch to Infovision (one page at a time prototyping).

Expensive
Costs $289-$589 for a license, and there is no light version.

The Ferrari of prototyping tools that has its own built-in DataBase
Nothing beats iRise if you must simulate real data in prototypes. Try to update an infovision prototype with active data elements that proceed into different prototype models based on data. Cannot be done. Axure is tedious and very time consuming just for one data element to be used in a variable. Nothing beats iRise in the entire industry should you need to do active search engine simulations, price updates, etc. in an active grid/table updating visual simulation.

Extremely expensive
Must also use iRise readers if using the prototype.
