Jaclyn, We've been using Axure at my company for the past year and have found it a very useful tool. It's helped out in three areas of our product development efforts: 1. It's provided a fully interactive environment for us to try out designs. 2. We're able to communicate design ideas to far more effectively to internal stakeholders. 3. We've been able to perform usability tests of design much earlier in the software development process, prior to any coding taking place. I think Axure was originally intended for designing traditional websites but we've found equally effective for design touch screen applications. Also, with the recent feature enhancements of the most recent release, we've used it to prototype and ajax-based web application. Its weak points are lack of check-in check-out features for allowing teams to use the same source file. Also, it has very limited graphic design support. I prefer lower fidelity prototypes during design and early testing so don't see the later point as much of a weakness.

While it seems like a useful tool, my client hasn't used it yet, and it hasn't been recommended to me before. Does anyone have personal experience with this application? If so, please share your findings.
