What is Collaboard?

Colllaboard is a collaborative online whiteboard software from Switzerland. It offers a new way of a more creative and interactive collaboration in online meetings and workshops, because "Great minds think together".

In Collaboard teams work on an infinite canvas with sticky notes, images, documents, videos, shapes, and much more. Like on a real whiteboard people can write, draw, and sketch ideas with a pen. So, people can visualize their ideas, brainstorm, create mind maps, do complete design thinking workshops, and increase the productivity of remote sessions by working in real-time on a shared board.

In addition, you have a set of templates at your disposal, so you don't have to reinvent the wheel every time. At Collaboard, there are numerous templates, such as on the topics of strategy, marketing, planning, icebreakers, idea generation, education, and digital innovation. With just one click, the selected template can be inserted into the corresponding board.

The software is GDPR compliant and hosted only in Europe. Customers with very high-security requirements and data privacy regulations have the option to choose between special hosting in a Swiss data center, installing an on-premises solution, or to self-host it in your cloud.

Pros
I like that I can have a whiteboard with infinite space and export my whiteboard. I also love the ability to invite collaborators and guests and present online just by giving them specific links.
Collaboard is a really good tool and deserves more praise than it is getting. The simplicity of the the board makes it intuitive, which only benefits its users.
Mostly I do chatbot workshops. Thanks to collaborad I can do the workshop from whereever I want and my clients can join from whereever they want.
Cons
They tell you they are in shock (for the content loss) and that they are going to see the problem right away. But you never hear from them again.
I don't know if they were ready to launch. You can't write in the board, because there is some horrible lagging in the system, so your words came out as weird lines.
Overall, it has been a horrible experience. I think they should mature their product.
