    In scenarios like creating a quick mind map, flow diagram, explaining code with a diagram, or wanting to show how a specific scenario in code works to the team. In scenarios like there is a draft which I created in some other place and I want to continue here, I can't as upload option is missing. Other scenario is like I have downloaded a draft and want to import and continue, can't do that as well. Creating wireframes from the initial stage is hard, as everything should be hand drawn which is hard when the screens are already decided.

    Usability
    Excalidraw
    Excalidraw+ is very simple to use, navigate, and collaborate. You can quickly generate objects, text, lines, arrows, etc. to clearly explain an idea without spending too much time making it look pretty. It's great for initial ideation without getting bogged down in details. A quick user interface can be sketched in 30 seconds rather than spending time generating near-complete mockups that could be rejected

    Excalidraw
    It's cheaper than Miro, although it doesn't provide as much functionality.
    It's less complex and easier to use than draw.io, although a bit more limited in terms of available options.
    It offers a more solid user experience when compared to Confluence Whiteboard, although it lacks the integration options that this tool has.
    For the situations where its limitations aren't an issue, it's a solid option.

    Return on Investment
    Excalidraw
    • For the price it's really worth for the tools it's providing and feature with Excalidraw+
    • This is good but we still had to buy competitors like miro at organization level to support multiple collaborations and users at large scale
    • Tools provided for the price are good but expected a little more set of tools to create mindmaps, wireframes
