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?

Stormboard has all the templates I need to assist me in facilitating strategy workshops and allows me complete flexibility to crate my own. It is intuitive and easy to use and the sharing capability is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stormboard?

I think the Word reporting template is a bit clunky and could be improved. A minor point - I always prefer a fixed font size as opposed to Stormboard determining this for me so would prefer this as a default. I use dot voting a lot and would like to have more flexibility around the number of votes I can allocate to people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It solves the problem of having to use canvases on walls with endless post-its. Having said this, there are times when canvases work well but I tend to always use Stormboard. It improves the faciliated sessions I run and makes post-session reporting far easier. I have found that sessions run quicker using Stormboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ludo, thank you for sharing! Stormboard thinks practically about facilitation and meeting enhancement whenever we update the product, so we are happy to hear that we're hitting the mark for your use. That being said, we're never done innovating - your feedback has been passed along to our product team to help us shape the roadmap for Stormboard.

What do you like best about Stormboard?

It's easy to contribute to various topics for a complicated case or brainstorm, accross organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stormboard?

Nothing, it's quite user friendly and nothing comes to mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We used it for matters with complex components and it's difficult to keep track of every aspect of it. The tool helps to divide the topics, and sub-topics, and to add specific content (ex. hyperlinks). It's a great way to gather all the information in one spot, and to keep track of everything.

That you had to ask to have the right permisions to modify the content of the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The problem of sharing information through e-mail or powerpoint presentations, so it benefited us as we had access to the latest information in real time and didn't have to wait for the e-mail to arrive so we could check the information and make comments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Stormboard?

Stormboard has nailed the online collaboration tool. Having both structured data AND free-flowing brainstorming in the same tool is fantastic! Not to mention the exporting abilities allow us to report out from workshops/other meetings in a fraction of the time. It is intuitive for new users and the Stormboard Academy is a great resource for self-guided, on-demand training for both admins & end-users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stormboard?

The addition of some of the standard process mapping shapes would go a long way in improving this use case for the tool. And an integration with Zoom (similar to the current Teams integration). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Stormboard has improved our global organizations' syncrynous & asyncrounous collaboration capabilities. Our global cross-functional teams are able to collaborate more effectively and feel engaged across timezones. It has enabled us to reduce meeting frequency & duration saving time (and money) across the board. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Stormboard?

It is simple to use; very little training time is required. The full team can be engaged simultaneously, entering their information and capturing the interactions with other team members. The data/picture that is constructed by the team enables a shared understanding that is difficult to achieve by other means. The data remains editable by the participants as situations and understandings evolve. Team members consistently praise this tool and ask to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stormboard?

We are using Stormboard for Project Management. We used their API to populate the data for a schedule in Microsoft Project. Because of this unusual use of the tool, there have been some limitations that we have encountered. In every case, Stormboard has provided alternate ways of overcoming the limitation and, at times have added a feature or modification at our request. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

This tool allows team members to explain the work they have to do on a project, but they are not left describing their work in a vacuum. They can connect their tasks to the tasks of other team members to show the relationships of the work and the order in which it must occur. This is done with teams that are geographically dispersed, and yet they can be working simultaneously as if they were in a room together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you for the kind words Travis! We are always happy to work closely with our customers, and we're so glad to hear your entire team is loving Stormboard. We can't wait to show you what else we have in store!

What do you like best about Stormboard?

I like the collaborative aspect wherein the group can add sticky notes content sharing comments and ideas. It seems easy to set up, though I haven't had the opportunity to lead as discussion yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stormboard?

Difficult to navigate through notes. Text small and hard to resize. Not always clear that notes have scroll button. Wish I could click on a note and open it in new window. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Allows our group to start a conversation on DEIA topic, add content, e.g., links to articles, videos, or just comments. Members can indicate agreement or suggest different points of view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
