Considered Both Products
Allo
Chose Allo
Miro is a direct competitor for Allo. It has more features and integrations but Allo appeals much more to us because of the easy-to-navigate and elegant interface, as well as speed. Infinity is an all-in-one project management app. It's ideal for detailed project management and …
Chose Allo
The user interface from Allo was much more preferable and user friendly. Also offers better features as well.
FigJam
Chose FigJam
FigJam works best in pair with Figma, as it allows you to keep track of your project in one place, supporting all phases of the process. The functionality is more intuitive, quick, and efficient. Visually, I also prefer it more —it’s more enjoyable and playful, making the …
Chose FigJam
Positive: FigJam is cheaper than Miro and allows connecting with FigJam, where we design our user interfaces. FigJam is more complete and visually appealing than draw.io, although draw.io is free. FigJam allows calls, which both competitors do not. Negative: Miro has …
Chose FigJam
It is similar, but it provides more usable solutions for brainstorming sessions and presentation purposes. Now empowered with AI and some new cool stuff, it may be the most dangerous competitor to FigJam. However, it will win the race if FigJam is more responsive and gets more …
Chose FigJam
Microsoft Whiteboards are better, in my opinion, but not friendly with Figma files (can't export layered assets, raster only). Better in the sense that the drawing and and marker tools felt more natural and the AI features are just better, like auto-shapes, vs. FigJam's …
Chose FigJam
If Sketch was on Windows with an app on par with their Mac app, I would never even look at FigJam. Sketch has local work sorted, accessible and scaleable, good collaborative features, and accessibility features, too. It feels modern and polished, with actual files you can …
Chose FigJam
I feel like Figjam is great at at what it does. It provides a great overall place to be able to use a virtual whiteboard and help teams collaborate. Especially remote teams. It actually does it better than others. There are some tools such as Invision Freehand that at the …

Allo is extremely well suited for companies that share lots of internal documents and assets that could easily be grouped into boxes. We manage several projects so it makes sense for us to condense all of our documents that various team needs, by team and department with our clients.

FigJam is perfect for the early stages of a project, where every member from cross-functional teams can participate, because it’s intuitive and has a very low entry barrier.

Usability
No answers on this topic
I don't use it often, because the organization I work in uses a different environment on a commo basis. This is rather used between the designers, who prototype the solutions in Figma - they just have it as a workbook/notebook for their ideas. However, if those need to be shared with stakeholders or other organization members, the designers are expected to use a different environment.

Miro is a direct competitor for Allo. It has more features and integrations but Allo appeals much more to us because of the easy-to-navigate and elegant interface, as well as speed. Infinity is an all-in-one project management app. It's ideal for detailed project management and keeping tracts of tasks (and other. items) but Allo is much better for designing and brainstorming.

It is similar, but it provides more usable solutions for brainstorming sessions and presentation purposes. Now empowered with AI and some new cool stuff, it may be the most dangerous competitor to FigJam. However, it will win the race if FigJam is more responsive and gets more attached to Figma, where the prototyping takes place.
