Overall Satisfaction with InVision Freehand

We use it as a whiteboarding tool when discussing topics that are easier to address visually. Often we do it in real-time with one person driving and others watching, discussing, and giving feedback. Occasionally we'll all be in working at the same time when doing research / UX exercises to organize data from feedback sessions.
  • Enables multiple collaborators to work in the same area
  • Real-time updates while using it collaboratively
  • You can recognize the pointer of others in the InVision Freehand so it engenders conversation while working synchronously
  • It can be hard to find previous files when they aren't named intuitively. Maybe searching copy within docs would help faster discovery
  • The permissions can be frustrating when trying to share files across different teams, the UX team seems to struggle with providing links that are inaccessible
  • I think more could be done in the context menu for easier / relevant shortcuts
  • Real-time collaboration
  • Cloud architecture
  • Flexibility to create in a very unconstrained environment
  • It's definitely had a positive ROI, especially in a remote-first workplace
  • It's decreased discussion times by enabling something visual to help get everyone aligned
  • It's a fast Sketch platform and has decreased cycle times, especially early in the iterative process/research phase.
The collaboration in a real-time manner is incredible at InVision Freehand, and arguably the best I've worked with to date. With the way work is getting done today, top-notch tools for discussion, alignment, and idea generation make a huge impact on the bottom line & the well-being of employees trying to get their work done in the most effective manner possible.

It's great when sketching or discussing topics at a high level and wanting to have something to look at or speak to. It's also very helpful when trying to assimilate and categorize feedback from research or focus groups. I like putting tidbits of info into boxes that we can then sort and organize thematically and identify where our biggest opportunities may be. We tried using it a bit as a road mapping/project management tool, and don't feel it was well suited for that.
