Collaboard Reviews

I like collaboard because it is very easy to use, I didn't have a hard time understanding it right away when I first used it.

It is also very convenient since it is cloud-based, I can access my boards anytime as well as share access to my clients and friends.

Making mind-maps, illustrations, userflows, UX flows can be done with more flexibility in Collaboard.

Sometimes it is kinda slow in loading media like images...

Also there's no way to embed external media...would really be nice if you could embed scripts or iframes...

This software was supposed to be amazing. The infinite board feature, and the capabilities to embed entire webpages or videos for example are remarkable. The idea is that you can use it as a virtual and infinite board of ideas. You can share it with students, so the tutorials becomes very instructive.

The problem is that it is poorly executed. Collaboard is in a very early stage of development. 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. If you try to group a set of elements, it disappears, so you lose all of your content.
Then, if you write to support, they insinuate it's your laptops fault (even when I provided proof that a similar app was working just fine). Which is weird because I can run very modern games in it, and also other virtual boards like aww app. 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. Also, they take 2 weeks to respond and then tell you that your mail magically has gone to spam. (I believed them the first time).

+ Great price to functionality ratio.
+ In most cases it is easy for learn and use (with one major issue).
+ A lot of pre-defined templates that you can use (or inspire)
+ Sharing option via link (non-registered) or closed group (registered collaboration)
+ Presentation mode (with timer if needed)
+ Integration with Zoom meeting
+ Grid with "snap to grid" mode when editing
+ adding videos from Youtube

- no possibility to save and load "pre-sets" like colours, fonts etc - I have to select all options everytime or create one object and then copy it as a "preset" for others. It should have a "bin" with presets and thanks to that I could select something that is previously configured (like Red memo stick with Roboto italic font)

- Does what it advertises ( Can do Virtual Brainstorming and add different kind of Media on Whiteboard)
- Timing Feature for setting time for a given Activity in a Workshop.
- UI is white and clean ( though not modern)
- The infinite White Board serves as Brain Dump Feature and also i can add different media which is not possible in Google Jamboard

- More Buggy after Releases
- Slow in Duplicating Notes / Post its
- Does give Surprises at times in terms of elements on the board
- Missing Tables Feature
- Mindmapping needs to be Improved

The results are amazing. Few techniques can improve that much the speed to create, memorize and share ideas. It is an easy to use board, where you can create "visual ideas'' that stick to the mind and allow the thinking process much faster than doing it with words. The brain understands images and stories, so it's good to work this way.

It is a relatively new product. There are always little details to improve. At the same times, at the beginning, until I could not create a "workflow" with it, I would not really figure out my user case. Also, moving other team mates to work into something new, may be tricky.

CollaborBoard is the perfect tool for those who want a high-end professional feel with their presentations or meetings. With CollaborBoard's easy-to use drag n drop interface, it's never been easier to create something that will be memorable interactive during webinars presentation.

Collaboard is a perfect place to create and share ideas related to website design projects, all in one simple location.

The UI/ UX of the Collaboard software is not the best out there. It is still buggy in places. The zoom experience in Mac is not great. Hopefully it will be improved soon. There are no folder structures

Collaboard is very easy to use and almost has no learning curve. That's necessary for making impact with the tool, because more often than not you share your board with particpants the have never worked with it.

The product works smoothly and is very intuitive.

When you think a out of the box, then the possibilities are endless: online games, assesments etcetera.

I would love to see more 'linkability' between the different elements on a board. You sort of can add links which come together in a quick menu, but I want to link directly to other elements so data you build in navigation.

Maybe it's my fault, but what I don't like is that the font size on a yellow note changes (becomes smaller) if you add more text. I would love to see the option of a fixed font size so that in case you have several notes they all look and feel the same.

You can embed websites etc. I sometimes embed Notejoy (a digital notebook) into a Collaboard. This works fine if I am already logged in into Notejoy, but I have to enter my credentials if not. It would be nice if I could add username and password to an embedded object so it always logs in automatically.

I was commissioned to put together and launch a course. With a ton of ideas swirling around in my head, it can be really difficult to clarify them and get them straight and begin to piece them in a sequence that makes sense. Collaboard is the only tool I know that comes as close as possible to the whiteboard in my home office. I could add as many sticky notes as I wanted to, sketch out any additional info around them and connect lines and threads to the relevant topics.
Without it, I don't know how much longer it would've been before I sat down and successfully got past my brain dumping hurdle

Sometimes I notice a little bit of lethargic when duplicating notes. I also use a tablet and stylus (on my computer; I'm not talking about an iPad) and I never quite figured out how to turn off the setting that tries to automatically recognize that I have a stylus in my hand (and switches to a draw mode)

I really like the speed with which the developpers are improving the software. I baught it about 8 months ago and even in this few months there were tons of things that improved or were added newly. Great!

Compared to other online whiteboards like Mural and MIro (especially this one) the (colour) design of the ux is a bit old fashioned - but that is just my opninion and does not harm the funcionality!

I really like how easy to use it is. As a marketing assistant I get to work with Photoshop and other Adobe Software, where you have endless possibilities, but it takes you ages to learn them properly.
With CollaBoard, you get used to it in less than one hour! Not only is it user-friendly, but also perfectly made for any kind of teamwork, workshops or brainstorming sessions on your own. The templates are very useful if you have no idea where to start, or to digitize conventional workshops.

As it is not a big company like Microsoft, there are sometimes bugs in the software, especially if there is a new release. But by simply talking to the company, they will fix it within no time and also, they are very customer-friendly.

CollaBoard is easy to learn. In a few minutes you already know how to use it.

There is nothing I don't like. Probably there are some features I don't need. But this is just my case.

Collaboard is intuitive and pleasant to use. You can quickly get started with the pre-built, thoughtful templates. There are well-designed templates for every use case, from brainstorming, idea generation to presentation. You can easily add members to collaborate with you on a project.

I didn't like the brand colors, though it's a personal matter of taste.

The software is very easy and intuitive! The most thing that I love is the totally freedom of expression my self and in the same time, if you need, you have some template or example like guide your work.
For me the best way to collaborate.

Sometimes the software slow down, when you have a lot of elements in the project.

I am very impressed by the user experience.

Sometimes I miss more templates. Although they have already integrated different templates, like business canvas etc.

CollaBoard provides an app like experience and an easy and more natural way to collaborate

Only for Windows, but they told me iOS and Android will be released before summer

Ease of use navigating in a virtual whiteboard.

The only thing I am missing (maybe I do not know how to do) is something emulating a laser pointer or a light beam to catch attention.

Collaboard is a white board platform that helps a lot nowadays. It permits real time collaboration boards to discuss and elaborate projects. The interface is intuitive and easy to learn.

When starting a new project. There are templates to facilitate starting your project. It helps a lot. The number of templates at this moment is a little short. It would be nice to have a bigger number of templates.
