Description

Stormboard is a cloud-based data-first collaboration workflow platform which succeeds at creating new structured and actionable data from normal human collaboration, whether in-person or across distance. Beyond phones, remote meetings and messaging, the primarily visual focus of the platform (via leading-edge whiteboard capabilities) is to empower data-driven companies to turn their unstructured human interactions into information-rich collaborative workspaces; enabling data-driven decisions and efficient processes while often eliminating the need for meetings entirely. Human-generated data also survives sessions along with the original context which can be edited or added to in the future. Stormboard’s business-first and data-centric approach is different from competing e-collaboration spaces and traditional whiteboards, which are often tailored to creative/design audiences, not operationally focused executives.

What do you like best about Stormboard?

With so many strengths, it is tough to pick just one. That said, being able to go from "Hey, we should storm on this!" to having 100+ people adding ideas, images, and files into an outcome-driving page format in less than a minute is absolute gold. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stormboard?

I will have to return here when I find one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Overcoming the global spread of humans to achieve our outcomes through enabling ideas from anyone, anywhere, at any time, with little to no prior setup or notice.

It often takes 100's of people to build global scaled solutions. With that, we often cannot (nor would we want to) have every person in every collaboration session. Stormboard enables detailed Brainstorming and more, well beyond the meeting that not only captures and relates ideas, but also provides comprehensive export options to preserve the ideas and more importantly, move them right into the next medium for them to be advanced further.

What do you like best about Stormboard?

My main stormboard is used as my go-anywhere digital whiteboard. It's where I collate my to-do-lists, park ideas, plan, organise and stratagise everything I have going as the managing director of a new business start-up.

Now that I've been able to link my stormboard to my google workspace (documents), I'm able to add / access important documents to my stormboard and access these quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stormboard?

I wouldn't say dislike, i'd consider these as suggestions for additional features i'd find useful...

- It'd be great if I could also add my google calendar onto my stormboard.

- It'd be great if I could save important bookmarks onto my stormboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

My stormboard is allowing me to track everything I need to remember / consider for my new business start-up.

Whilst I don't use it much for collaboration, it's benefiting me insofar that its the one of the few platforms I've found that allows me to track everything in a single place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have a very particular use case - I want lot's of people to be able to see the storms / I don't need them to be able to edit - as such the charging structure just does not work for me.

What do you like best about Stormboard?

This was my first experience of using Stormboard, and I was thoroughly suprised at how simple yet suprisingly efficient it was. The tool allows me to jot down notes and connect dependencies, such that when you zoom out, you can get a grasp at how complex your project is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stormboard?

License/seats. I wasn't the admin for the tool however at some point we had to revoke licenses due to the number of available seats. Its unfortunate that such a powerful tool is hindered by seats/license. I understand that its a business at the end of the day, but perhaps explore other means of monetizing. Maybe have a floating license? n-number of people at once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Getting to see the big picture behind the project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Stormboard?

The interactive and instant nature of Stormboard is it's greatest asset. I also enjoy a lot of other features: voting and seeing who voted, downloading straight into Microsoft office type files, changing the colours and the sizes of the post its, connecting them... and so much more.

It's also a very easy to use piece of software, when we have to constantly work with externals (such as clients) it's quite painless and easy to implement in a project.

We use it regularly for all of our remote workshops with clients and even our own internal work.

It's very easy to integrate into your way of working, as it reflects basically what happens in a real (physical) room, in a very intuitive way.

We've not really had a lot of issues, but the few times we've contacted customer support they have been relatively responsive. Not the worst, but not the best either. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stormboard?

Sometimes the servers can be full (or something of that kind) and users in a team exercise, especially if it's a large group (say 30 pax), will complain of lagyness or some other unexpected issues (like freezing up). This requires people to close Stormboard and open it again.

The other big issue is that Stormboard is a massive resource hog on machines. So there's no way we can leave it running in an open tab, because it will significantly impact your computer's functioning. It will cause it to become very slow and even unresponsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Remote workshops. Stormboard allows us to run all of our remote work with clients in a very client friendly and effective way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hi Mario, thank you for sharing your feedback. We are thrilled to hear that your meetings and workshops are being enhanced by Stormboard. I will pass your comments regarding server availability and resource requirements on to my product and development teams to investigate. As always, if you have any additional questions, concerns, or issues, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

What do you like best about Stormboard?

Excellent collaboration tool and visually appealing, very easy to use and easy to train others on Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stormboard?

Hindered by admin settings, I wish it allowed more control for certain admin features (e.g.,: multi-selecting users and changing their role, having the ability to delete a Stormboard) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Stormboard mainly helps us with strategic planning sessions, Mission, Vision, Values exercises, and to increase collaboration/team cohesiveness for virtual teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
