Overall Satisfaction with Stormboard
During the increasing remote work, we were faced with the challenges of inefficient online collaboration. We tried several tools to evaluate which tool should be the tool of our choice. One of the tools tested was Stormboard. Stormboard was attractive because the pricing was very competitive. The tool was tested during online workshops, online work, and documentation of user research results. Stormboard shows a lot of good and reliable functionalities that are state of the art among online collaboration tools. The Positive was that Stormboard also offers some functionalities that are not so common among popular competitors, eg. Tasks generation from elements, and report generation. However, there are also some features we missed or saw better implemented in other tools.
Pros
- Task generation from elements
- Report generation for subsequent processing of collaboration results
- Sign up flow
- Invite Users and various ways to share access
Cons
- Stormboard could update the UI to a more modern and up to date style
- The section structure is not intuitive and is constraining in many situations
- Standard/Must-have features (add an element to the board) are implemented in a non-intuitive way. Stormboard should consider splitting up the "add button" into several buttons. Several clicks are required to add a simple sticky note.
- The board size could be bigger. The size is constraining in many situations.
- Basic board features
- Task reports
- Reports in general are great to export collaboration results in desired format
- + affordable collaboration tool
- - not intuitive enough --> other tools were preferred
- - not flexible enough (section feature was a bummer)
I think the number one argument for Stormboard is the reporting functionality. These various ways of exporting the results of the collaboration in the desired format are something that I have not seen from other tools yet. It really helps to sort and gather the different thoughts on the board. In terms of these niche functionalities, Stormboard is very good. When it comes to some other basic functionalities I would evaluate Stormboard a bit differently. Even though it offers all common functionalities, the functionalities feel a bit less intuitive in comparison to other tools.
