What do you like best about Hoylu?

People can join straight from a link without having to create an account that requires endless information Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hoylu?

I can't think of anything I don't like; Hoylu has been great so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Hoylu:

Try it out! The free version is excellent; it gives you the chance to try out different workspaces, and once you have created a few workspaces and seen how much fun it can be for your attendees you will be hooked! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have been running many remote meetings and workshops. We try to make them interactive, but they soon become boring for people. The different opportunities for interactivity offered by Hoylu mean that we can run a training session with questions, polls, and audience participation. They are great for breakout rooms and sharing content when the group comes back together. We have managed groups of 2-300 people who all have the opportunity to contribute, even in shorter meetings. They can also access the space after the meeting to review or add if needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Hoylu?

The simple interface and ease of use are what I love the most. It makes it possible to include clients on boards without any training. We can work together as if we were watching the same physical whiteboard. That makes sprint methodology with post-its and individual brainstorming possible even for remote teams!

Also, I love the more advanced functionality like the pull planning module and how it helps me with visibility in complex processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hoylu?

The how-to section for advanced users could be more developed, but I have gotten help with all my inquiries at customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Hoylu:

I would jump in and start workshopping. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Hoylu is solving workshops, project planning, pricing, buyer personas and business model creation, visual summaries, etc. Right now, Hoylu is involved in almost every documentation and creative meeting I have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Hoylu?

The Hoylu applications are very versatile and easy to use. Having used Hoylu Walls for many years, I found the touch pens and interaction with everything from Brainstorming to Sketching had a natural feel to it. The ability to now access Hoylu workspaces via web-based application has expanded its functionality greatly. Having easy access to an algorithmically growing whiteboard makes team communication easy and natural. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hoylu?

There is not a lot I can say for downsides to Hoylu. They are an ever innovating company, so the updates to Hoylu come fast and furious. That, at times, causes bugs to crop up. On a good note, they are Very responsive to bug reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Hoylu has become a part of our weekly meetings since its inception. The biggest benefits seem to have come from our Project management teams who have been able to utilize hoylu to replace any number of older style processes such as pull planning on a table or whiteboard.

What do you like best about Hoylu?

I used to be a big user of sticky notes. I thought they kept me organized but in reality, it became a big mess with them all over my desk. Now I can have all of them digitized nicely organized on various boards depending on what project I'm working on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hoylu?

I do wish it was a little more customizable as far as controls go. For example, on my mac, if I take 2 fingers and scroll on the trackpad, it zooms in and out instead of scrolling around the workspace like most apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Organization and planning. I found it to be great for content planning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The templates make Hoylu a powerful and easy to use tool. Also the support from the staff at Hoylu is second to none.

What do you like best about Hoylu?

Unlimited possibilities. No restrictions. You can mind-dump and organize later. Being able to free-form mind-map, share files, annotate, and draw right beside my team in real-time, is a game-changer. Workspaces are extremely engaging and everyone's input will live on in the Workspace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hoylu?

There's a bit of setup required before you're able to start collaborating. You start with a blank canvas so you need to conjure up a bit of creativity to figure out where you'll place things. However, Hoylu just added a template toolbox which has helped a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Hoylu:

Hoylu is perfect if you're a visual person/learner. You can collaborate and design without the confines of bounding boxes, page sizes, and weird tool quirks. Using Hoylu is as simple as using sticky notes, pens, and text and as advanced as a full-fledged project management tool with task and iteration management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use Hoylu for video production projects. We annotate and edit scripts, draw and edit storyboards, schedule our tasks, and link out to external resources and folders.

We use Hoylu as a central hub for all of our collaboration and it's extremely helpful to have a single workspace/single URL that I can share out to onboard a temporary contractor and get them acclimated to the project as a whole. The Workspace will have everything they need to get started, all the comments and design notes, and space to continue collaborating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
