The Free-style Canvases allow for better expression of Results and Updates of a particular task. The collaboration utilities, like the chat and the live pointer of other participants on a canvas, are excellent, especially for teams working remotely and in different time zones. Great tool to communicate a summary of results with non-technical team members. Great for small-mid sized teams that don't really require as tight of a control as something that Asana offers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The text box/typing on canvases seems a bit unsmooth and rigid.
IMO, you could emphasize on the linking options more as Canvases are a great place to share Summaries and results, but the thorough 12 page content is in some Google Doc/Sheet.
I don't really get what OKRs and Projects do. Are they the same thing. Why does a key result have a different canvas? Maybe a short FAQ/Help/How to for an ignorant non-PM user like me that doesn't disappear after I first login Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love that Allo uses the familiar options of a Kanban board with very flexible workspace functionality. What I love the most is the whiteboard feature which create virtual desks where we can 'lay it all out' virtually between team members and clients Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I dont' really have a down side - all I would say is that it is good to learn what it is good for and what there are better tools for. Project management for example is not what I would use Allo for, nor do I think it should focus on that functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Organization of different projects is available. Canvas explainer videos are included to introduce new users to the platform so my clients know how to use pieces we share.
Backup snapshots are good and extracting to a pdf is helpful.
Items allowed are numerous for brainstorming, planning & editing ideas as projects are done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Tables inserted do not edit well on mobile devices. Clients try overlaying with text boxes and it gets too messy to keep table cells updated correctly. Sorting is impossible.
Also, arrows to link one item to another doesn't work well because the origin point cannot be moved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
With Allo, I like the ease of collaborating with a virtually unlimited amount of people simultaneously for creative projects. Allo allows for multiple use cases, beyond just whiteboarding. We use it for planning, documentation, brand boards, templating, and much more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I'm not the biggest fan of the new UI, and I would like more integrations.
Access to the API would be a great addition.
There are some limitations around stickers and not yet any icon support, that I am aware of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Allo makes it easy to create and manage team collaboration. This is an essential feature we use during our certified classes. The feature we like most about Allo is the translation feature. We teach in both English and Japanese. This way, the students can modify their team boards in Japanese, and we can easily translate them into English. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The biggest issue we have had is the Team Board links will stop working and must be recreated each day. While it is not difficult, it still requires time. If there would be a way to ensure that once a link has been created, it remains effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The online whiteboard is very easy to use. I can create teaching material very quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The method for controlling access to created material is, by generating a new URL, is inconvenient to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The open infinite scalable canvases with the quick ideation approach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Lack of mobile support more than just the scaled down version of app, missing mobile flow support of things Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
