Whimsical vs. Whiteboard.chat

It's extremely well-suited for rapid wire-framing of concepts, as product teams can quickly collaborate on any idea and create a visual blueprint of it. Whimsical could provide more intuitive feature prioritization templates. The current templates lack the necessary detail and could be further enhanced from a UI/UX standpoint.

Whenever the engineers & architects of my team require a brainstorming session, we normally use a whiteboard, as the enterprise does provide Miro licenses with associated. Hence, a whiteboard comes in handy when troubleshooting or discussing the requirements surrounding an application or technical infrastructure for a project. As it removes the dependency on requesting an additional Miro license, we use it. The board also loads faster than a Miro board.

• It can be a little frustrating trying to line things up exactly right but that's probably more user error than anything

• The UI is lightweight and works well but can be more attractive.
• The templates available are quite generic and basic; themed templates can be added.
• Whiteboard navigation is mouse-dominated, but it also has too many hotkeys that make it confusing for the user. They can be easier.

It's fairly intuitive, I rarely have any problems using the app. The layout is pretty user-friendly and easy to adapt to. There's a lot of tooltips to help with the various features and functions, so it's very easy to get self-help for the most part. Overally, I'm pretty happy and satisfied with the usage of Whimsical for mind-mapping.

The application, although it loads faster even at slower internet connections, and is a good alternative to Miro boards, still requires some more room for improvement. During live sessions, when multiple users contribute to the board, the updates are openly visible to all. Perhaps a privacy feature that hides text, available to the board admin, would allow me to give a rating. Being from an ersecurity background, I think the app also requires a secure sign-up process with MFA.

I reached out to support, as I was interested in possibly investing in the organization, and they quickly and happily informed me they are a bootstrap organization and do not take on investors at this time. The swift response and information readily available for my consumption was extremely helpful and shows how solid the team behind it is.

Whimsical is so much easier and has a better interface, so I think it's more suited to our workflow if compared to other tools like Google Charts. I really love this tool and I'm looking to learn and use it even more, as it helps us optimize our time, planning, and delivering more efficiently.

I'd rate it lower than Miro but higher than draw.io and Lucidchart. The other two do not have a real-time collaborator feature for users; they have limited tools for designing and no provision for syncing with third-party apps. While whiteboard. Chat does provide a provision for the creation of JIRA or Azure DevOps tickets directly from a sticky note, like Miro.

• No hard numbers I can quote. Other than the free plan has been adequate for my needs.
• It's my go to mind mapping tool.

Incentivized

• Because the app is lightweight and less expensive, it loads faster, saving time in meetings and when sharing links.
• Embeds easily with Confluence docs.
• Templates are more simple and no variety needs some improvements.
• Standardized custom templates are not saved; adding the save template feature would help.
