About Stormboard

This isn't your father's whiteboarding tool. 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. 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...

Stormboard Review

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.

Reasons for switching to Stormboard

Compatibility of StormBoard with iOS and Android devices and Slack.

Vendor Response

Sticky Notes and Whiteboard -Beautiful Combination

Overall, this site is clear. I have to admit that it’s constantly helping me figure out my project ideas. I don’t like sites that look rushed or put together too fast. This site allows me to get my project ideas done and sectioned out in segments with my team. I wanted a site where I didn’t have to add loads of people or teams to my project. I work on small projects, so this is so helpful. I love how this has helped me grow and also it’s also a learning tool. I get to work with other people with this which is really neat. This helped me get my plan and project done. No headache so I am super happy.

PROS

I absolutely love this site. I love brainstorming sites, but this one is so different. It’s different in a good way. I love how I am able to pick a theme for each stormboard I pick and it’s set up the way I want. Each theme has sections where I can plan out my idea. I can work on each stormboard with my team and assistants. I don’t have to do it alone. I also like how I can set my stormboard for private and only certain members of my team can see each stormboard. I love this site! I also enjoy how I am able to move this site around by just clicking on it. I don’t have to scramble to look for the button to move the screen or move each stormboard. I also enjoy how under each section I am able to put different sticky notes for each one. I am able to put loads of sticky notes with simple steps or ideas under each section. I also love how each section has new, to do, what I am doing currently, testing, and done. The done section helps me know what part of the project is completed. I don’t have to figure it out. Each part that’s done is in the done area. Simple! The next part that I like is how I can share my stormboard with my team or I can share it with someone that needs to look at it. There are buttons for that as well.

CONS

There are certain areas of this site that I don’t like. I wish that certain options were available for the free option. In order to really go through this site you have to upgrade. This is the only thing that I wish they would fix. If you have more options this would help so much.

My honest opinion of Stormboard for collaboration

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.

Vendor Response

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. https://stormboard.com/blog/product-launch-guest-users

Genuinely useful

Just a joy to use. The reporting is excellent, especially a one click full suite report in Excel and the Wordle is far more useful than it might first appear, I've been able to get a high level overview in one chart. I've pretty much trialled every project management software, from Agile to Waterfall but I've not found anything as useful as Stormboard for daily task tracking and reporting. Plus the templates are excellent for using a number of different methodologies.

PROS

It's just a genuinely useful piece of organisational software. I can organise not only my personal life but also management and work tasks with ease. The reporting is the unsung hero here.

CONS

There's not really anything to dislike.

Reason for choosing Stormboard

As I said above, it genuinely has everything I need to be able to work with different clients, stakeholders and methodologies. It's pretty much the only one size fits all solution I've found.

Reasons for switching to Stormboard

Reporting on Clickup wasn't great. And whilst it's a good piece of software, the lack of customisation wasn't great either.

Stormboard Review

PROS

The ability to collaborate and see changes in real time with Stormboard makes it an excellent option for meetings or group projects. The software is very easy to use and the aestethics are pleasing. Having customizable templates is a great option for creatives. The substorm feature makes breaking up larger groups a breeze.

CONS

There is occasionally some lagging when large groups collaborate but overall there are no major issues.
