Teams looking to collaborate remotely over a whiteboard.
SketchWow is loved by Small Business, Enterprise, I/T, Educators, Marketers, Designers, Creators, Agencies, Coaches/Consultants and non-creative types.
A powerful assistant in all your processes thanks to an integrated structure. Easy to use interface provides more active use thanks to its simple structure.
Limited feature set, templates and functionality that makes for a poor choice compared to other online whiteboards such as Miro, Mural.
You can get up and running very quickly with it and also it supports digital pen usage which is fantastic especially if you are diagramming or explaining something to someone. I love this application.
I don't have anything that I dislike about this software.
What I like the most about Microsoft Whiteboard is its shape recognition, I love it, as it speeds up drawing time and improves its quality.
There is also a redundant "note" tool that mimics Post-It notes, but it is unclear what the purpose of these notes is intended to be, since there is no visibility control toggle, etc.
I have had a good experience with the software. It helps me express my ideas clearly as I can use a range of mediums like images, text and sketches.
It is hard to download the app for the desktop.
Bought it on a whim as it was such a good price and it’s been amazing. Have used it in presentations where it got great feedback as well as diagrams and informatics.
Most of my initial complaints have already been fixed with the updates.
Quality and variety of images is quite good and getting better all the time. I like the variety of customization tools.
SketchWow Elimenates and Destorys Weak Communications.
I like the hand drawn style of designs that you can create as they look different to other popular design tools like Canva. It helps to make my offer stand out visually and looks super custom.
I have no idea if either are technically possible.
Pros about SketchWow are the pricing, the assets you receive from each update that can be used, the user friendliness of creating much more fun pieces for slides/presentations.
There are not enough templates out there but that keeps growing with the updates, so no real cons as far as Im concerned.
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.
