nice collaboration tool, but deff need more guidance for content management.
What do you like best about the product?
1. multiple note-taking, wireframe-drawing, and comment tools boost the efficiency of collaboration and communication, especially in the virtual co-working environment now.
2. really appreciate you adding the key-word searching capability. it's a game-changer for our exp. before we often had a messy huge board in the middle or by the end of the sprint. it was always hard to locate some previous notes/ideas.

What do you dislike about the product?
the presentation view - i don't necessarily dislike it, but sometime in my use case, I need some reference in other areas of the canvas to view the presenter's current view. always wish to have a split-window or something when I m following the presenter's view.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
i can provide the visuals and ideas more quickly and accurately with the tools on freehand. building up a more holistic view of the ideas I wanna present to the team. Good ideas are hard to describe to better understood if ppl see the visuals.
I love digital collaboration!
What do you like best about the product?
On invision Freehand, I like that you can resize the sticky notes. A specific competitor (Figma FigJam) doesn't allow for the resizing of sticky notes which is a big pain point for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
The first digital whiteboarding tool I ever used was Mural, and I was used to resizing text the way that Mural does it (a plus and minus sign button when you select the text). It took me a while to figure out how to resize text on inVision freehand (dragging the corner of the box to resize). It didn't feel intuitive to me how to resize the text. I also like that on Mural you can recolor elements like shapes, stickies, text, etc. using hex codes. There seems to be a limited color palette on inVision Freehand and this sometimes limits me (for example, if I am synthesizing research for 12 interviews I wish I could have 12 different colored stickies).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a product designer, I use sticky notes to capture data from user interviews. I then use these sticky notes to create an affinity map to gather insights. I also use Freehand for discovery sessions and for leaving feedback on designs. I feel like these digital whiteboarding tools have really helped my team maintain a collaborative spirit even when working remotely.
Overall a useful tool
What do you like best about the product?
It's a solid way to collaborate with my team & our partners. We can easily spin up a new Freehand or share a link to an existing Freehand and start collaborating
What do you dislike about the product?
There can be a bit of a learning curve for new users as they get used to the tools. The text sizing tool & zoom level are items I continue to see collaborators struggle with.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Since our org pays for InVision we have been able to solve collaborating digitally where we once may have been in a room together. It allows our team from across the globel to come together in a common space & share ideas.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're already using InVision, it's a no brainer to use Freehand for digital collaboration.

Everything is in one place (an entire project and all the related information is all in one location).
Simultaneous users (multiply users can work at the same time).

What do you dislike about the product?
I have not found anything I dislike yet (I am still new to Miro, but I really like the platform and the collaborative environment it generates).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro has provided the ability to easily work with team members who are working remotely.
Excellent tool for online collaboration - more than a whiteboard
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is built around a whiteboard app as its primary feature. However it also does some of the things you'd expect from Teams or Slack - such as video conference, chat, etc. The whiteboard is excellent and in my opinion, this feature alone makes the price worthwhile. Whiteboards can be as "fun" (emojis, great colours, stickers, etc) or "business" (clean, professional-looking templates, consistent colours and shapes, flowchart tools, options to export). They are very intuitive to use. There are a huge variety of pre-made templates to help start you out, and users can add their own templates to the library.
One feature that helps a lot is the use of frames. Anything inside of a frame can be exported as a group to a CSV file, which is super useful. So, say you are doing a lessons learned workshop, you can export all the "What went well" stickynotes together, separate from the "What could be improved" stickynotes.
The "Team" plan is only about $20 per month. This comes with two licenses but allows unlimited visitors who can edit the boards they have been invited to. This means that as a project manager I can pay for the license for me and one other facilitator, and invite whoever I'm collaborating with that day to join the board with just a link. This is a game-changer, as you don't have to buy a certain number of licenses and constantly shuffle project members around to free up seats.

What do you dislike about the product?
Where it has room for improvement is that sometimes when you invite someone they get stuck in a dark pattern where they are prompted to sign up for Miro themselves or prompted to log in. Guests do not need to log in and it can be a confusing experience that leads to people needing me to help them troubleshoot having signed up by accident. It's enough of a problem that I don't always use Miro if I'm dealing with an audience that is not confident online. That said, this can be navigated with some careful instructions, and once people are in, the guest experience is very smooth.
When exporting, it's not possible (or at least I have not found how) to export things according to a hierarchical or flowchart order. So you need to go into your excel doc and re-order things if, for instance, you were trying to use it to build an information architecture or org chart. This is a feature I hope they add!

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using MSTeams and their whiteboard is not a fantastic user experience. I wanted to use a more intuitive platform for my workshops and collaborations now that we are online so much. Using Miro most of my team members can just jump in and start using it without too much instruction or orientation. I start each workshop with a couple of tasks (zoom in, zoom out, navigate around the board, place a sticky, resize it, change its colour, move it, leave a comment on it). Once they can do that, they are pretty much set.
Easy and compelling
What do you like best about the product?
The results are really nice. Easy to use
What do you dislike about the product?
tricky sharing contents in several boards
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mind maps to explain research ideas
Free play field for business
What do you like best about the product?
It is a great software that allows creating whatever you like. As i mentioned, it is a free play field not only limited to 1 person but open to numerous collaborators.
What do you dislike about the product?
Until now, I haven't experienced any negative side or a part I did not like. There are also updates quite often to improve the tool and bring new functionalities.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps me create an overview of any topic to see full perspective and address the issues quickly. To able to collaborate with collagues and create ideas as a whole team brings more value.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
An added value to your company
Great Workshop and quick mockup app
What do you like best about the product?
I like Miro because it's super easy to use and has many awesome features.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the fact that it logs me out too soon and I have to keep logging in. Just keep me logged in Miro please.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I run workshops and make flow diagrams at the moment
Collaboration and communication tool for creative design.
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy how easy it is to create hotspots using this tool, and I plan to transfer all of my ideas and drawings into InVision. It's also simple to add notes/comments to the screens I want to enhance, which helps me figure out what I'm doing wrong. I believe it is an excellent program that provides the materials required to develop a successful corporate image. It is superb program with all of the required resources. It inspires me to develop even more artistic ideas, which InVision makes so simple. It improves commercial opportunities by giving the company a more sleeker and modern look. Anything may be customized to meet your individual requirements.
What do you dislike about the product?
Normally, InVision is extremely sluggish, and integrating other applications is nearly always problematic. There are also significant file upload difficulties. The interface features a graphical user interface, which is both annoying and difficult to manage. It is also quite sluggish the most of the time. Most of the applicants have issues with the choice to include them. It is also unable to upload very huge files. It's also a little annoying because it's harder to abuse. Concerning the prototypes, I just do not like the device's meager features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Now it appears like my clients sharing the logos are having a good time. I create high-tech templates to convey the merchandise's future to potential customers and stakeholders. This manner, I may escape the burden of having a finished project while starting a model in a short amount of time. With this program, we can also create a broad selection of very artistic designs. Sharing prototypes is now much more appealing to my clients. There were several benefits. InVision creates prototypes for users, managers, and other people of the company to exchange information. Furthermore, it is the sole approach for writing and final flows that our website and mobile developers employ.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The program is one of the finest for concept sharing. InVision has a lot of potential to create business outcomes. If you are uploading huge files, I recommend that you do so manually. InVision is unquestionably the best approach to deal in a variety of business industries. It's not as excellent as a drawing, and it's not as specialized. It is very straightforward to integrate, and the support crew is really helpful during the integration process.
Amazing tool for team work. I recommend a lot!
What do you like best about the product?
Everything. Is very practical and friendly
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing I dislike. But maybe the mobile version should be easier to navigate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Life problems and work
