Pros

“Accessibility, options for different pens and drawing tools, and smooth writing using mouse pad with small range.”

Mohamed N.

Development Engineer

“Microsoft Whiteboard helped a lot to draw concepts and bring them to life using MS Teams meeting and chat boxes.”

Joseph A.

Agile Consultant

“I love the flexibility to draw and mic, and match between objects inside the whiteboard.”

Joseph A.

Agile Consultant

Pros

“One of my favorite features is the ability to animate designs, which really helps bring presentations and training materials to life.”

Bridgitt R.

Consultant

“For me, it is a good software for systems thinkers because it helps to create visuals, connect ideas, and understand things better.”

Aura S.

Strategic Systems Advisor

“At this stage I wouldn't use it to design a slide deck for a presentation, but it is really easy to export objects to another program for making a presentation.”

Jordan B.

Teacher

Cons

“Occasionally it also lags with larger boards, which can interrupt the flow of work.”

Jason Y.

Software Engineer

“The only con I have come across from time to time is that sometime hesitates when using it. If in the middle of a meeting, this can be discouraging.”

Jill L.

HR Manager

“The selector tool is not intuitive and moving objects around is not as simple as it should be.”

Dan D.

Sr PM

Cons

“This is a possible N/A with the newest update (that I need to try out), but not being able to export animated assets to PowerPoint (which some presentation venues seem to REQUIRE use of) is/was very frustrating.”

Casey C.

Training Specialist

“Usability could be easier - some of the interface is not intuitive.”

Tom M.

Lecturer

“The Knowledge Base and tutorials are not comprehensive.”
