Overall Satisfaction with InVision Freehand
I used InVision Freehand for holding virtual retrospectives for teammates. Also, story mapping and other agile ceremonies. Lots of team use it for UX design and brainstorming. Many times we need to draw out a mock up and have the teams work around it or with it. The UX person will walk us through the mock up.
- Easy to use.
- Lots of plug in options.
- Better formatting options.
- Easier to share boards where people do not have to sign in.
- Do not limit the amount of boards companies can have.
- Mock up for UX.
- Technology mapping.
- Brainstorming
- Sharing boards has been a challenge.
- Having everyone log in in tough.
Figma is far superior. They have templates and great video integration. The template portion is the best. You can choose from many and even have a network of others that are creating templates for people to use. I am sure InVision Freehand has a lot of the same features, but they are not easy to find.
