The Tool I've Been Looking For...
What do you like best about the product?
As a brand strategist, I've struggled to find an online collaboration tool that is quick to learn, easy to use, and simple. I was shocked how quickly I and my team were able to start using InVision Freehand to brainstorm ideas, problem solve, and collaborate. Our clients love being able to see what we're working on. It's become my go-to tool for collaboration . . . if there's any chance I can work in InVision Freehand, I'm there!
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, there's nothing I dislike about it. I love the simplicity and visual collaboration element that is straightforward enough for anyone to learn.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a small creative agency, we use InVision Freehand to visualize processes and project flows, share projects for feedback, and brainstorm. I and my team typically love to do this work in a physical space with a whiteboard and post-it notes, but with COVID and a growing remote team, InVision Freehand has been an important part of us keeping this aspect of our collaborative culture.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you love to use a whiteboard and post-it notes to brainstorm, go sign up for InVision Freehand!
InVision Freehand as a collaboration tool

What do you dislike about the product?
Continual shifting of interface elements results in a more complicated user experience. The speed and performance is also problematic at times.

Creative collaboration with remote or dispersed teams. Critiques that used to happen in physical rooms now can happen in a virtual environment.

It helps facilitate conversations and critiques of work. It's a virtual environment that helps connect remote teams.

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.
