Aha! vs Microsoft Whiteboard: Which is a better fit?

Emily: Hi, this is Emily. I'm a strategic growth manager and I give Aha! a four out of five. For more reviews like this, click below. Before we started using Aha! we were mostly using Jira, which worked really well for our engineering team, but in order to have more visibility across different parts of our company, we decided to implement Aha! so that more people could have access and have better visibility and tend to what was going on. We chose Aha! for a variety of different reasons. Number one, it had incredible functionality. It had really great customer support for whenever we had issues or questions on how to use certain features. It was a really, really good value for what we were paying for it. And it was fairly intuitive and easy to use. It was really easy to get started with Aha! It was fairly intuitive and I mostly went in and tried to set up different roadmaps and things before bringing on the rest of the team, but everyone was able to get up and running pretty quickly. I highly recommend anyone considering Aha! make the transition. Our team has been much more streamlined ever since we made the move. So, comes highly recommended.

Laura M.: Hi, my name is Laura. I am an office manager for a consulting firm employing approximately 11 people. I would rate a Whiteboard a four out of five. We were communicating just via email. We're a small firm, so we would email back and forth, but emails get lost, people update, and then they forget to update people what status they are on projects, so we implemented Whiteboard. So, sometimes, if you're working late at night, you can just put a quick note on the status of a project, and everyone is updated at the same time, without interrupting somebody's evening, or assuming that maybe they didn't see the update, or did see the update. People are busy, so Whiteboard has really helped people stay up to date at the same time. Okay, we chose Whiteboard because we wanted something that worked within the Microsoft 365 program that would speak to OneDrive, which we use, and some of the other features that we use within Microsoft Office and Whiteboard fit that criteria. We wanted something that almost looked like Post-it notes and could act as a quick update without having to put in a lot of extra detail. Implementing Whiteboard was very simple. I would say we were up and running with it within five minutes. It provides some great user-friendly templates, and so it was easy to start collaborating right away. I think for anyone starting out with Whiteboard, I might just start with asking them what features and benefits are important to them, so that you can select the best template to get your company up and running, and everyone can be on the same page at the same time.
