Stormboard
About Stormboard
Stormboard is a data-first collaboration workflow platform which succeeds at creating new structured and actionable data from normal human collaboration, whether in-person or across distance.
Beyond phones, remote meetings and messaging, the primarily visual focus of the platform (via leading-edge whiteboard capabilities) is to empower data-driven companies to turn their unstructured human interactions into information-rich collaborative workspaces; enabling data-driven decisions and efficient processes while often eliminating the need for meetings entirely.
Human-generated data also survives sessions along with the original context which can be edited or added to in the future.
Stormboard’s approach is different from competing e- collaboration spaces and traditional whiteboards, which are often tailored to creative/design audiences, not operationally focused executives.
Key benefits of Stormboard
Stormboard’s cloud-based data-first collaboration workflow platform is built on several key differentiators that are unique in the virtual collaboration / digital whiteboard space, including:
Intelligent Workspace: Smart sections and templates are the foundational elements to Stormboard’s data-first collaboration space.
Each data element interacts directly with other elements, thereby creating a “living” data environment and enhancing data lifecycle management and outcomes.
Actionable Exports & Reporting: Stormboard is the only cloud-based data-first operational workflow platform that provides actionable and accessible data after a meeting, instead of a blurry photo of a whiteboard or JPEG image of a screen.
Industry-leading Integration Suite: Real-time bi-directional integrations eliminate wasteful/redundant transcription practices and ensure data accuracy and consistency across platforms.

We used Stormboard with large groups of participants in corporate training. In one session we first collected hundreds of questions via Mentimeter and then we imported those to Stormboard and let the participants answer their colleagues' questions (as comments). In another session we first presented a process and then the participants wrote notes in Stormboards of how they worked in this process.
Pros
It enabled large groups of training participants to co-create Q&A or process descriptions in real time. Participants learnt how to use it quickly and could focus on the exercise, not the tool.
Cons
With more than 20 parallell users in the same Storm, the software sometimes gets a bit slow.

Powerful tool for effective collaboration with many customizable templates.
Powerful tool for effective collaboration with many customizable templates.
Pros
Stormboard is advanced tool for online collaboration on projects. I like that there is a lot of customizable templates which can really save peoples' time (e.g. SWOT analysis). It can be interconnected with Slack, which is very convenient when using Slack as the main communication platform.
Cons
I didn't find any disadvantages of Stormboard, however the tool is quite expensive, so it is necessary to consider costs and benefits before using it.
Response from Edistorm
Thank you for taking the time to share your opinion and feedback with us. We're very happy to hear that both our templates and integrations are providing value to you and your team!

We used Stormboard at a time when most employees were working remotely and I must say it served its purpose well.
Pros
Having a mobile app that I could use was helpful and allowed me to collaborate from anywhere I was without having to open my computer. I also like that a wide array of templates are provided for my team to choose from.
Cons
Where should I start from? I began using the free plan and it was okay for a while but Stormboard allows a maximum of 5 users on each whiteboard and because we were testing it out, we chose to split the team into two. They also have a fixed list of things that can be customized on the whiteboard. Aside the color, you pretty much cannot change anything else.
Response from Edistorm
Hi Joel,
We appreciate your feedback. While we're glad the free version served it's purpose well, we're sorry that you felt limited.
We recently launched a brand new user and licensing model that may be of interest to you that will help you collaborate more effectively with your team on a more flexible plan that provides access to the full-featured product.

Overall - very positive. Great tool. Stormboard team accepts feedback and seems to be working hard to improve the platform.
Pros
Customizable templates and the ability to send users into substorms or different "rooms" to collaborate is very useful. Simple, intuitive interface.
Cons
Had some early issues with performance due to the large size of workspaces being used. Dark fonts on dark note colors make no sense - very difficult to read. Only applies to a few dark colored notes.
Response from Edistorm
Paul, thanks for your review! We're happy to hear that you are taking advantage of Substorms - they are one of our favourite features too.
P.S.: Stay tuned for a huge update that is coming soon that will significantly improve in-Storm performance and will reduce lag when collaborating with larger teams.

We have designed action plans to make our agency more diverse, inclusive, and equitable, and have used ideas accumulated from brainstorming on this software that have impacted a cultural change.
Pros
I love that this software is so easy to use, and that multiple users can access and see changes being made in real-time. This makes collaboration and teamwork much easier as we are able to brainstorm, categorize, and create action plans all at one place. There is also the feature that allows for the ideas to be captured and summarized to send out to the team once the meeting is complete, and to refer to at future meetings.
Cons
The one feature that is my least favorite is that when you scroll on the page it zooms in and out. You have to actually click and hold to move around on the board. However this is an easy adjustment compared to the many great features this software offers.
Response from Edistorm
Azariah, we are so glad to hear that your team has not only been able to take advantage of Stormboard to Work Better Together, but also to affect real, meaningful change - that is our vision for all of our users!
