Overall Satisfaction with Whiteboard.chat

For brainstorming sessions, SWOT analyses, and spontaneous architectural discussions about the structure of our identity system, we typically use whiteboards. From a project management standpoint, within our scope, we are implementing the whiteboard for team retrospective notes, as well as the sticky note feature, Microsoft M365 compatibility, and a simple UI, making it a lightweight product to use for our day-to-day meetings. In addition to that, there's no license cost associated with it.

Pros

  • Team collaboration feature where multiple users can contribute at the same time.
  • It has wide variety of tools that can be use for creative brainstorming.
  • Whiteboard.chat has no license cost associated with it.

Cons

  • 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.
  • 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.
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'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.

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.
