I find Excalidraw to be an exceptional online tool for collaborative drawing, and what stands out to me the most is its user-friendly interface and versatility. The intuitive design makes it easy to create a wide range of diagrams and sketches, whether for personal use or collaborative projects.

The tool's responsiveness and ability to generate polished visuals quickly contribute to its appeal, making it a valuable resource for anyone needing a hassle-free yet powerful platform for collaborative drawing and diagram creation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Excalidraw boasts many positive features, one drawback that I've noticed is its limited set of advanced design tools.

For users seeking highly specialized features or intricate design options, Excalidraw may not be the most comprehensive solution. The tool prioritizes simplicity, which is excellent for quick and collaborative sketches, but it may fall short for those with more demanding graphic design needs.

What I like most about Excalidraw is its minimal interface and simple design. Picking up and getting simple to moderate level illustrations is quite easy. The learning curve is smooth and it packs all the essential features that one would need to create wow-worthy sketches.

Ever since I found out about it, I have incorporated it heavily in my workflow, in my blogposts, in my tweets, Pinterest posts and whatnot.

The best thing however is that about 90% of its functionality is free. There's nothing to download, not even that annoying signup prompt.

Creating illustrations is quite easy and with the latest features such as snapping, grid, Mermaid.js support, I don't think I'd need any other tool in near future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While its good that they have made some sensible defaults to keep things minimal, but I don't like the default hand-writing font. As soon as I found it, I have searched online for ways to change it.

Also, it would have been better if they allow external images and SVGs to be edited natively in Excalidraw.

Also, a feature request: I'd like very much if they released a dedicated Excalidraw app with support for Apple Pencil. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of creating sketches has made my work simpler, it is a very complete tool with all its features gathered in the same platform that allows me to share my work more quickly with my colleagues, I started using the free version and seeing such wonderful work I started the payment mode which has more professional features and makes each creation even easier Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Excalidraw is sensational, however the support is not very complete in its response times, it takes time to be answered, it is the only thing I have noticed that they have flaws Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use Excalidraw to prepare technology architecture diagrams quickly and easily, and Excalidraw's approachable hand drawn diagram style gives exactly the right impression that these diagrams are quick but accurate depictions of technology solution details. The tool is easy to use and easy to implement because you can just start using it in your web browser. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We also use Visio for drawing technology architecture diagrams, and unfortunately there is no round tripping or integration between Excalidraw and Visio currently. I would love to be able to import existing Visio diagrams into Excalidraw, but also export from Excalidraw in Visio format too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Excalidraw is a remarkably easy, user-friendly tool that functions as a whiteboard with Photoshop capabilities. The program is browser-based but functions like software – keyboard shortcuts actually work, you can export images, and you can load in files from your desktop. There are multiple tools like this, which allow you to collaborate remotely on a "whiteboard" in real time, but Excalidraw has the most effective and wide-ranging set of tools within the program. Like in Photoshop, you can arrange vectors and actually play with design. I use this frequently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The amount of tool options can be a bit overwhelming when using the program collaboratively. It's not as simply as "posting a sticky" with words on it; if you insert an object or text, you likely want to play with color, opacity, font, etc. This means that Excalidraw is best suited for creative collaboration, versus business meetings or brainstorming sessions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Real Time Collaboration is one of the best feature of the excalidraw.

Another great features of excalidraw is intutive interatction and ui. and the export options are almost all.

It is helpful in teahcing juniors about coding etc

Also the little things have been taken care of like dark mode and inserting image changing canvas background etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Leanring curve can be a little for any beginnner also it needs to have offline functionality when anyone wants to use it for personal purposes.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
