Collaboard makes collaboration really easy for remote teams. It has useful features like sticky notes, mind maps, and ready-to-use templates, which help organize ideas quickly. Our team particularly appreciates the real-time updates, as everyone can immediately see changes. Implementation in a self-hosted env don't take long, and customer support respond promptly. It's genuinely made teamwork smoother and more productive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Collaboard?

Collaboard frequently updates and introduces new features, which sometimes requires some time to adapt. While continuous improvements are appreciated, there are some users who prefer stable and unchanging interfaces. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Collaboard solves the challenge of coordinating effectively across remote or distributed teams. It eliminates confusion by providing a central, visual workspace where everyone can contribute ideas, track changes, and stay aligned in real-time.

What do you like best about Collaboard?

Collaboard offers an on-premises solution - so it can be run on a virtual machine in your own infrastructure (below 200 users) or on Kubernetes supporting various infrastructures like OpenShift, Rancher, IBM Cloud, etc. (for a large group of users). This makes it very attractive for me, as I'm working in a global healthcare provider's research and development department where data sensitivity is key. In addition to that, Collaboard is very easy to use and new joiners on the board will get used to it immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Collaboard?

So far I'm very happy with this solution and I'm still learning to become more efficient in handling the board. With having little practice at the beginning it took me some time to switch quickly within the different selection options at the navigation bar on the left. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Collaboard solving and how is that benefiting you?

We mainly use Collaboard during our clinical trials where we work closely together with various stakeholders (internal & external) in the design thinking process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great pricing compared to Miro or Mural and paired with its 100% GDPR compliance, an excellent and easy-to-use online whiteboard.

What do you like best about Collaboard?

The use of the collaboard has a lot of flexibility - it's great as a blank canvas not only to" throw" ideas, but it can also be used to organize thoughts and share a roadmap. I also used this as a boar board style to prepare for the event with a group and it worked very well! This helped us organize what we wanted to plan/record and organize the event easily,

If you're someone who likes mental mapping, this tool is definitely suitable for this account. I used it to do it, but I also used it for production for my studio company. When working with customers, it is difficult to show the "big picture", so being able to view everything and link everything to photo and video links if necessary has been very helpful in making vision clear for everyone Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Collaboard?

Only thing for me would be mobile optimization for better editing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Collaboard?

One thing I have noted and loved about Collaboard is its ability to work well with other products to make the user feel comfortable using its features and interface and this has been made possible by the way it allows me to extract all my data from Microsoft excel document into the board. I have seen that the upside of this integration comes from how convenient I can use excel to input data and use Collaboard for presentation and demonstrations which makes my workflow much simpler.

Another feature that I have come rely on can be found in how much Collaboard has managed to promote collaboration whereby I can see mouse pointers of my other team members with their names on my board and in this way we can focus and contribute almost physically on the same board which is an added advantage.

I also like that Collaboard has allowed me to edit uploaded documents by extracting pages and saving them as single pages on the board which is very helpful whenever I want to focus on a certain scope and not on the rest of the document pages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Collaboard?

The touch sensitivity of the board when I am using touch and drop feature is not smooth and reliable since it lags at times and objects might drop in the process of moving them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Collaboard:

I recommend anyone considering Collaboard that choosing this product would improve and help their workflow to be much smoother and less time consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Collaboard solving and how is that benefiting you?

I do a lot of video referencing during my board presentations and I had been facing challenges when I am uploading videos because of different file sizes, formats among other reasons but Collaboard has managed to solve this issue with its integration with Youtube whereby I can just easily drag and drop a video for reference purposes which makes my workflow much simpler.

What do you like best about Collaboard?

Collaboard is a virtual whiteboard that can be used for brainstorming, research, and interactive meetings. It's so easy to use. You just open it up on your browser and you're good to go! The best part about Collaboard is the clean interface. I don't have to worry about any extra distractions or unneeded features when I'm working because Collaboard has everything right there in front of me.

In the last couple of months, I have used Collaboard for different purposes, some of these are:

1) As a virtual whiteboard to take down notes while attending an online course

2) Creating team sticky notes

3) Story Boarding

Collaboard has made presentations and whiteboards easy, it's definitely worth the price.

Collaboard allows me to add videos, photos, and PDF files to the board. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Collaboard?

Collaboard doesn't have a folder structure yet. I would really like to have a folder structure so that I could better organize my boards. The UI/UX is still not the best out there. Hopefully, they will update it in the next iteration. Copy/pasting is also a bit slow sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Collaboard solving and how is that benefiting you?

Collaboration is a much-needed skill in today's work environment, but it can sometimes be difficult to get past the logistical hurdles of sharing documents and collaborating with your team. Collaboard helps us solve this big problem. Using Collaboard, I can collaborate easily with my team members. We can create mind maps, sticky notes, etc. It now serves as a central board in our organization, we collect all information required for each particular project in it.
