Overall Satisfaction with InVision Freehand

We use it to collaborate. A lot of virtual meetings will use InVision Freehand as a way to engage with one another during a presentation. I think it's nice to see everyone's engagement in real-time, so I would consider that a plus. We like to use sticky notes a lot to share ideas and find points of commonality.
  • Collaborate with collegues
  • Interact and engage in real time
  • Offer a visual format for brainstorming discussions
  • Depending on how many people are using InVision Freehand at once, it can feel a little chaotic.
  • I don't like how I start to feel sensory overload watching everyone's mouse moving all around the page.
  • I think this isn't inherently a problem...but since InVision Freehand is still relatively new I think users just need more time to acclimate to all it offers.
  • Brainstorming and collaborating
  • Allows the company to brainstorm in a new and engaging way.
  • Allows company to bounce ideas of one another in real-time.
  • Encourages collaboration and free flowing of ideas.

Do you think Freehand by InVision delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Freehand by InVision's feature set?

Yes

Did Freehand by InVision live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Freehand by InVision go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Freehand by InVision again?

Yes

We use this tool to collaborate on virtual calls. It's nice to have a visual format for brainstorming sessions. I enjoy having another means of interacting and engaging with colleagues. That being said, at times it can be visually overwhelming if you're collaborating with a bunch of people in real-time since you see each person's mouse movements. It can feel a little overwhelming, in that sense.

Evaluating InVision Freehand and Competitors

Yes - I think before Freehand came on the scene we primarily used Microsoft teams or Menti as a way to collaborate and exchange ideas--outside of course the regular Invision boards, prototypes, etc. But Freehand was nice because it allowed us to colloborate in real time. I would equate Freehand to the Google Docs of design.

I wasn't a part of purchasing the product. But our designers use Invision and Invision Studio a lot so I think there was a lot of energy around trying out Freehand as well.
