Better Online Whiteboard

Flawless, virtually excellent, for working with remote teams and design team collaboration

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.

Creative and easy to use digital whiteboard

PROS

Figjam has made working in teams seamless because information can be easily presented to everyone. Most people in the world are visual learners, so having a tool like this helps to understand the work between different teams better. In our company, we use Figjam to design interfaces, ideate and collaborate. Instead of using a physical whiteboard where information gets deleted, we can present our diagrams on Figjam and store it permanently. Figjam has become an integral part of our working methodology. The ease of scrolling, zooming and exporting information is seamless and therefore I consider it better than its alternatives.

CONS

I would like to have better use of Tables in Figjam. Currently, the tables are very simplistic. It would be interesting to have more functions within each 'cell' of a table. Kind of like excel, or maybe some form of integration with it.

Reasons for switching to FigJam

Miro's interface is less easy to use and Figjam offers more options and tools.

Figjam for ideation

PROS

Even though there is a lot of similar products, FigJam is great because of the connection with Figma and also the collaboration possibilities are endless.

Digital Whiteboard for your needs

PROS

It's an easy-to-use digital whiteboard to brain-dump ideas and plan out project cycles. It is also easy to implement into Figma whenever we need a quick reminder on ideas we want to highlight.

CONS

It's hard to find something I didn't like about Figjam but if I had to say something it would be it could be confusing for people who are not used to using whiteboards like this and having to make an account

FigJam is a great whiteboarding tool

My overall Experience tell now is great with FigJam it does really well what it can do. The Collaboration features are awsome you can use emojies and other plugins that makes it fun and you can take benefit of that infinite canvas.

PROS

I like FigJam because it makes your work that you can do with FigJam so fun. You can use emojies and timer to collaborate with your team effectively moreover it provides you a infinite canvas which is better than those predefined sized artboards i really love it.

CONS

I like most of the things about the FigJam but one thing i do not like is it does not support vectors graphics so even if you import a figma file it will not be a vector based graphics anymore

Súper útil para creación e ideación de contenido, con o sin colaboración

PROS

Es intuitivo, funcionalidades familiares, conocidas y bien ejecutadas. Se puede trabajar sobre diseños copiados de Figma, tiene muchas opciones para realizar facilitaciones, brainstorming, y reuniones en general.Lo usaba para documentar todos los procesos y etapas de revisión de contenido por producto y/o proyecto. Los artbords tienen colores y está bueno para poder visualmente identificar rápido dentro de la página dónde está lo que buscás.

CONS

No presentaba un problema real porque solo trabajamos sobre diseños en baja y los finales se realizaban en otro software, pero a veces era difícil ser exactos ajustando tamaños de textos y posición dentro de los bocetos.

Balances ease-of-use with functionality

Highly recommended, easy-to-use collaborative whiteboarding tool.

PROS

Extremely easy to use and intuitive. Although it lacks some functionality, FigJam has 99% of the features needed, and is so convenient and easy to use that it's a go-to tool for whiteboarding / collaborating. The easy exporting (without resolution limitations) is extremely convenient.

CONS

There are no major issues with FigJam, but hopefully it'll include those "1%" of missing features eventually.

PROS

Google Jamboard is too basic, even though we still use it for retrospectives. For more advanced use cases FigJam is much better.

Great collaborational tool for remote work

Overall great tool for remote work, we have some people who are across the country and so being able to hop on and work simultaneously is a very rewarding and great experience.

PROS

I loved the sticky notes and the ability to add comments and work alongside, it helped me organize my thoughts alongside my team and we all were able to brainstorm and come up with ideas together and "whiteboard" even while all working remotely.

CONS

It was a little more complex to use than I would have liked? could have scaled back on some of the complexity and keep it more simplified and not lost much in terms of functionality in what I needed to accomplish

Great whiteboarding tool for our Design Team

Since it's release we've incorporated FigJam as our whiteboarding tool of choice for our design team. It works perfectly in sync with our main design tool; Figma.

PROS

FigJam does the basics of a whiteboarding tool really well and has been growing quickly these past few months with new features. It also has a great community where you can find great templates for canvasses and frameworks. It helped us a lot with doing team workshops.

CONS
