A simple tool for whiteboarding sessions or workshops

FigJam is very useful and intuitive online collaboration tool. Although it's a very new product as compared to other competitors in market, but it's 'simplicity' makes it stand out from the rest.

PROS

I use FigJam for product ideation or brainstorming sessions with my team. I also use it to build basic workflows or task flows for client reviews. The UI is very clean and simple. I love that multiple stakeholders and team members can work on FigJam board simultaneously without any lag. Whenever I need to discuss any product idea with business stakeholders or clients (who are not tech savvy), this is my go-to tool, as it is very easy for them to understand and use.

CONS

There is no offline version, so if you don't have internet connection, you will not be able to work on any updates. And it doesn't have lot of rich functionalities like Miro.

Reason for choosing FigJam

I chose FigJam due to it's pricing model and simple UI.

Reasons for switching to FigJam

I wanted to keep all my Figma design files and discussion whiteboards at one place, so using FigJam for that project/product made more sense. Also, Jamboard has very limited features.

FigJam is an awesome digital whiteboard for users of Figma

Designing features for an existing large product, from beginning to end in Figma - from discovery and analysis (using FigJam as a repository), through concepting to design iterations and prototyping, all in Figma. FigJam was a flexible repository for all reference materials and artifacts throughout.

PROS

FigJam is best when used alongside Figma, of course. The perfect integration between designs and prototypes and whiteboards makes for a seamless end-to-end process toolset.

CONS

FigJam is less attractive to teams that are not using Figma. In that case, other tools are more mature and powerful (though FigJam is growing on a consistent basis.)

Reasons for switching to FigJam

I joined a team that was using Figma (and I’ve gone back and forth between teams using Sketch, Adobe XD or Figma, along with Miro or Mural or FigJam)

The soon to be market leader in digital canvases?

Overall a great experience and FigJam is a strong contender for the number one spot of digital canvases in the future.

PROS

FigJam has really developed in a positive way the last year or so since it has been out. The integration into Figma of course being one of the major pros allowing you to keep all your files in one place. This feature is better than one might realise at first but it really solves a lot of problems. For example if you want to collaborate with stakeholders who have seen your design in Figma previously they will quickly feel right at home with FigJam.

CONS

There is one issue that I have with FigJam and that is how you share access to collaborators that do not have a Figma account. This feature is missing today but (hopefully) on the way and would make a world of difference. As it is today you have to create a Figma account to access FigJam which just makes some stakeholders more reluctant to use the software.

Reasons for switching to FigJam

I want to keep all my work files in one places which FigJam allows me to do.

Figjam- An easy way to organize your life

It is a phenomenal product if you wish to make documentation of meetings, ideas and concepts for your organisation. It can even be used for super fast, simple, team presentations. Scrum meetings can also be facilitated.

PROS

Figjam is a whiteboarding tool. In essence, it eases the process of documentation, note-taking and conceptual learning and explanation. It can be used with one of its many preloaded templates or you can use its many tools to craft a whiteboard as you please. It is very intuitive, and everything is click-drag-drop. Easy to learn and easy to teach. There are many tools to allow collaboration and discourse. Audio chat is available as well. Plugins, stickers, and shared files from the community all make it one of the best tools in the space right now.

CONS

Figjam is a well-rounded product. Routine updates and troubleshooting the problems of the community (bug fixes, quality of life) would make it great. A suggestion for this would be to allow users to choose from many themes of the editor, including background texture, colour, and icon styles.

Reason for choosing FigJam

Figjam has a simpler toolkit than Figma, which is good so that even people without prior design experience can contribute to the process using Figjam. Milanote has most of the same features but its not as collaborative and it's design tools are more restrictive.
