In our experience we cannot compare this product with another since this tool is the first of its kind that we have used, but the good thing is that we could not adapt it to

Microsoft Teams doesn't offer nearly the customizing and tools that Conceptboard can offer teams. Being able to visualize your idea and see its potential of it in person is unmatched. It has a large database and offers a great user experience. This is the best team …

Conceptboard does not lag as compared to its other competitors. It is fast and easy to use and is very much considerable from the pricing point of view as well because of low cost monthly plans. It is simple and right on point with the latest updated tools which is what makes …
Chose Conceptboard
Microsoft has their own version of it but it does not seem as intricate or in-depth. The ease of access and user friendliness on Conceptboard is better in my opinion.

You can annotate and draw on zoom but it's only for live scenarios, even if you review the presentation after, …

The most similar software to Conceptboard I have used is Google Drive in that users can actively collaborate on documents in real-time and create graphics in an online collaborative setting. However, Conceptboard goes above and beyond by offering exceptional teaming tools such …

Initially, we selected Conceptboard due to its quick TAT with respect to integration and implementation. Also, it is a quite cheaper option as compared to its direct competitors. The main reason to select Conceptboard was - 1. The infinite canvas really helped with longer …
Chose Conceptboard
I like ConceptBoard better than Miro. Miro also offers a similar virtual "whiteboard" but Conceptboard has a better UX and is easier (and more fun) to use.

I've used Figma extensively, and still do, for UX planning and design but have moved away from them for brainstorming. …
Chose Conceptboard
Conceptboard provides an easy whiteboard with multi-functions, that aren't lagging while more people are working on it and that is easy to self-explain, while I faced lagging while using Miro. Conceptboard is just easy compatible in any business situation (in-office, Zoom …

Conceptboard's user interface is a lot more intuitive, flexible, and easy to use. Real-time monitoring down to cursor movements is also something that Conceptboard has an edge on, as well as allowing for file attachments to which you can annotate or comment directly on the …

Miro is a superior product with more capabilities and better suited for advanced users. We selected Conceptboard as a short-term solution that was low-cost compared to Miro but allowed users to create boards. Once users are versed in Conceptboard, they are better off using Miro …

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
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
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
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 …

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 …

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 …

Conceptboard is useful in collaboration, brainstorming, ideation, and concept writing. These activities are especially useful for my function under the Consumer Insights division as we do a lot of these sessions that engage several people from different departments to be able to come up with good ideas, concepts, products, and strategies. I honestly can't think of scenarios where this tool would be less appropriate.

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.

Pros
  • We can determine the exact person in the team if he or she has made any changes in a particular board which helps everyone to be on the same page.
  • Storytelling was made easy. Now we don't need to go on multiple platforms like google meet, online spreadsheet etc. in order to make certain document
  • Audio / visual calling feature is amazing. You just need a reliable internet connection.
  • Eliminating manual errors through digital scrum
  • Ease of collaboration between different team

Cons
  • The sticky note tool glitches and behaves as if it were moving on a grid.
  • PDF upload tool does not work fast. Maybe a PDF merge algorithm could be added.
  • The selection area is not visible when dragging the eraser tool.

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.

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.
