FigJam is basically an online whiteboard from Figma where the teams can brainstorm and ideate on new ideas and projects all together in real-time. The team members can collaborate seamlessly and at the same time without any hassle of sharing controls and version controls for the files. All of the features on FigJam are very easy to understand and the user interface is also modernized and functional.

We also get communication features built into the whiteboard platform itself where we can chat and put live comments on the visuals. All of the communications can be done on the platform itself without any need for separate software.

There is an availability of the required tools for brainstorming and ideating like flow charts, connectors, custom drawings, shapes, sticky notes, and chat features. These tools altogether help to elevate the overall experience of collaborating on our projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

FigJam is a simple platform used as a visual collaboration platform. It means we work in teams on some topic and ideate on it together. If there had been an option to include animations for the flow of operations or some sort of videos, it could have been better.

We can only export the content from FigJam in the form of a PDF or a simple image file. If we want to export the content in any other format, it is not possible on FigJam as of now.

Another thing is, there are sometimes lags during working on the whiteboard which are not so frequent but they do occur once in a while. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like FigJam because it allows me and my team to work collaboratively with different styles of diagrams. I can present my workflow/illustration and conduct a workshop with FigJam. The product design is so neat and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like it when they have limited options of background colors to choose from. It's like you can use only what they have. It would be better if we can choose our own pallette in organization level Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like Figjam because part of my job involves developing prototypes for products, applications, or web solutions, and I enjoy being able to have journey maps, user ideas, and research integrated into the same platform I use for designing, Figma. Additionally, the central bottom toolbar is very user-friendly and enables a smooth workflow without wasting much time exploring and searching for customization options.

I don't like that compared to similar platforms like Miro, it falls a bit short. For example, it doesn't have many multimedia options for creating presentations, such as including voice or video. And there is also no video or call feature that facilitates group work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I remember using Figma as a collaborative whiteboarding tool for my team since all the other such apps weren't as engaging. Then came FigJam and we couldn't stop using it because it is an extremely powerful tool with the most complex tools put in the simplest ways. Love its UI the most.

FigJam has a list of helpful tools and is perfectly real-time. I have never faced any issues while using any of the tools, widgets or features. One thing that I want to highlight they can work upon is to add a natural smoothness slider to the pen and highlighters so it works great even on trackpads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the templates and how easy they are to use and start using. Even beginners will have no problem navigating this software. I love that it's free to use the basic software and that it isn't forcing you to upgrade to an expensive package. Collaborating is SO easy as well-multiple people can be on the same board making changes and adding to your creations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish that the software was available without an active internet connection. If you aren't worried about another person making edits on the board, it might be helpful to have an offline option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

FigJam makes collaboration with my project stakeholders engaging, easy, and fun. It's approachable and usable regardless of one's tech savvy. FigJam also allows me to perform critical UXR tasks like affinity diagramming in an efficient and visually pleasing manner. I rely heavily on FigJam in my day-to-day work and create almost all of my deliverables in it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some things in Figjam could be made more efficient. I mainly run into issues with formatting. For example, you can't easily paste Excel rows into it. I also wish you could edit text without having to perform multiple clicks to move through layers in the file (e.g., two clicks to edit text in a sticky). I understand why this exists, but it would also speed up my work process. Resizing things can also get weird sometimes (e.g., highlighting some design assets and trying to make them bigger only expands certain elements, have to manually fix).

FigJam is simple and flexible -- my team and I have used it for everything from workflow diagramming to stakeholder workshops on product vision. We've also trained non-designers to use the tool in under 2 minutes. They love it and even use it when we aren't around! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to collaborate with non-authenticated users is incredible, but resetting the 24-hour timer is a bit tedious. I understand there has to be some inconvenience to push for more paid accounts, but I wish there was a way to extend those timers. I also wish there was a "vertical alignment" option in the menu bar for moving text to the top or bottom of shapes (in addition to horizontal alignment). But other than small feature requests like this, I have no complaints! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

FigJam's simplicity and ease of use enables fast mapping and sharing of complex systems and dependencies. I've recently created several sprawling figjam charts that outline marketing programs from beginning to end for our clients. They have been so helpful keeping the team informed at a high level and are a great reference to regularly huddle around.

This is just one kind of use - because of its flexibility you can begin to discover ways to think and present ideas large or small. Create fast design mock-ups, review and provide feedback on designs, create storyboards - the list can go on and on. Easily shareable to anyone with little to no trouble with login attempts or dealing with incompatible file types.

It feels so freeing to break from the clunky confines of a ppt slide with its bad clip art and boring bullet points. Expanding across an endless canvas allows us to combat any confusion or anxiety that tends to show up around building complex marketing campaigns.

Figjam has become one the most valuable tools in my arsenal and is one of the best I've seen after almost 2 decades of working with these types of apps.

Highly recommended! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can't think of any at the moment. I need to spend more time exploring all the templates to expand my usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to use sticky notes, draw freely, and have various templates at hand enhances creativity and efficiency in group projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limited depth of features for more complex design tasks. While it excels in basic brainstorming and diagramming, professionals seeking advanced design functionalities might find it somewhat lacking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's awesome that FigJam is built in with Figma and it's so highly collaborative. No need for a separate ecosystem.

Love these product features: timer, spotlighting users to see their view of the screen, stickers, auto-align tools and guides, variety of community templates available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mindmaps are more difficult compared to competitors (ie, Miro). It's difficult to connect words into a cohesive web.

When mood boarding and importing a bunch of images, it doesn't auto-resize photos into a neat masonry layout with consistent sizing like competitors (ie, Pinterest and InVision).

Even though FigJam isn't for video calling, because it's so collaborative, I wish there was a chat feature like other online video call apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
