The software enables me to share and access my work from any device, regardless of their location. This feature makes it an ideal tool for remote teams, enabling them to collaborate on the same project in real-time. Pros One of the things I liked most about Bluescape is its intuitive interface, which made it easy for me to navigate and find the features I needed. The software also has a wide range of tools and capabilities, such as real-time collaboration, screen sharing, and annotation, which made it great for team brainstorming and project management. Additionally, I appreciated the ability to integrate with other popular tools like Google Drive and Slack, which added to its overall functionality. Cons I really like this software, However, I dislike the pricing structure of the software, as it may be considered expensive for small businesses or individual users. Additionally, I found that the software does not integrate well with other tools we are using, which could make it difficult to use in a workflow. I did not like the interface of the software as it may not be intuitive and user-friendly. Review Source EA Elaine A. Associate Professor Design Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Impressions of an new user" September 30, 2020 5.0 I am still discovering all there is to explore in this program but so far, I find Bluescape to be a valuable tool. I have been leaning on Bluescape to provide organizations and collaboration, but it can provide a sense of community to my classroom as well. Pros I love the navigational canvas tool. I makes it so much easier to pinpoint items in the space. I would love to see this feature expanded into a folder/group format (similar to psd layers). This way I could group several canvases associated with a singular space. I also love the grid tool. I allows me to present large documents (pdf) in a visual storyboard format in addition to traditional paged document. As a design instructor, I can spread out my lectures to appeal to visual learners. I would love Bluescape to save me a step and be able to break it out into separate pages for me. I am excited about the integration with zoom and adobe suite but have yet to try them out. Cons I dislike the limitations in the creative tool such as color, shapes, fonts, pen strokes. I find this very limiting. I need more options to work effectively. I'm hoping that these features are built out quickly, for such a robust program the tools are very basic. I also am not fond of the black space. In certain situations, I'd prefer the option of selecting a white space. Switched from [Mural](https://www.capterra.com/p/171956/Mural/) I made the switch to test out and compare both of these platforms. I was drawn to the integrations with Zoom and Adobe as I use both everyday.

October 9, 2020 3.0 A lot of potential, still lacking some very useful features and still has sometines unpredictable (buggy) behavior. Will contiue using it hoping that gradually it will improve. Already a big convenience compared to Zoom only meetings & classes. Pros \* The potential ability to collaborate and keep all the elements in a visually clear virtual workspace: my line of work & teaching is heavily visual and having instant access to all the images in an organized and easy to scroll through environment is very useful. Cons \* Inability to 'annotate' (draw over) in 'PRESENT' mode. This creates a huge inconvenience for my classes and I have ti revert to using Zoom & share screen for this part. \* The students can't vew the content of PDF documents with 'vewer' only priviledges: they can see only the front page of the document but can not flip through the pages. This goes for Keynote and Power Point as well. Some of the lectures are proprieatary and while I need the students to be able to access them at their own time& convenience for reference, I have to give them 'viewer' status only so they don't download or alter them (a possibility if I invite them as 'editors'). A 'viewer' should be able to view a document or a presentation, not just the front page. \* Still buggy: for example, switching 'leaders' during a meeting does not always work. Even if the participan's list on the left shows the leader we switched to, students still see the screen of the previous leader even if the 'eye' is off. This happens accasionally but not always. \* Aside from 'undo', having a 'redo' option would be very convenient. \* Some students get kicked out of the workspace and can't login: they receive messages that their passwords are incorrect. This can not be the real problem in most of the cases as they use their college credentials and passwords which work just fine on the college servers. The emails from Bluescape with the password reset links or code never arrive (not in the SPAM folder either). Review Source TS Tim S. Sr. Clinical Professor Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Absolutely Indispensable " October 1, 2020 5.0 When we first went remote, it only took 2 days to get my in person teams into a virtual collaborative environment. I was blown away with the ease and speed of the transition. I used the tool sparingly before and now I use it daily! Pros I love how my student teams can collaborate and develop their products/services and then their business plans to launch. The tool allows them to collaborate easily and at the same time see what other students are doing. Cons Students are initially cautious about any new tool. But, in no time they are working within their assigned team canvases. Switched from [Class for Web](https://www.capterra.com/p/141222/Blackboard-Collaborate/) I liked the ease and speed to make the transition! Review Source MA Marc A.

October 29, 2021 5.0 Why I use Bluescape every single day: It is visual and it’s laid out in the way you want to see it. It is super easy to use. It is flexible. It saves me a lot of time. It’s the best tool to generate real collaboration and innovation as everyone can get involved. Pros 1\. The Visual content of what is shared in Bluescape makes it the most efficient way for everyone in the team to understand and process the ideas. It is well recognized that visual data is processed a lot faster by the brain than text. 2. Teamwork: When everyone can SEE everything, it creates the best environment for ALL to engage and exchange and therefore to come up with amazing solutions/Innovations. 3. Easy to Use: It takes not more than 20-30min to start working with the platform and this is a huge advantage when you want/need to have everyone onboard. Cons I don't find part of the platform that I don't like. It augments everything I do/use and I like it. Review Source KS Kelly S. Senior Designer Furniture Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Bluescape Features" June 22, 2021 5.0 It is a unique tool that sets us apart from others in our industry. Pros I like how we can organize our thoughts, processes and weekly project lists. It helps us stay accountable for what we have committed to. I love how there are always some enhancements as well as new features added from time to time. I really like to be able to customize colors and fonts! Cons I do not like the cursor tracking feature that was added recently. It is very distracting to our team. Would like to know if it is possible to turn this off. I can see how it could be useful when trying to point something out to a remote user while on the phone. Review Source Response from Bluescape July 26, 2021 Kelly, thank you so much for your review. Great to hear Bluescape is helping you stay organized! About shared cursors - you can absolutely turn these off.

What started as a presentation tool has become part of our fabric as a company. Pros I love that Bluescape keeps my team on track - since we use it for our ongoing meetings and training our new employees have access to several years of collective knowledge in an organized, intuitive workspace. Cons Having multiple users dropping in content often means documents are scaled inconcistently. Through training of our users we have gotten better about this.

Pros So fun to work with co-workers using this digital tool. Its perfect for creative design teams, trying to visualize concepts together. Cons Initially, there was a bit of a learning curve to understand the tips and tricks to optimize use, but after figuring those out, it was fun.

It is easy to put all the idea pins, references and writings in one space. And good to see it is updated lively when someone makes some changes. Cons When I first use it, it was kind of hard to use it. The mobile version is really hard to control too. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Design Director Design Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Collaborative Tool" October 30, 2020 4.0 Use it as a central place to keep style information allowing users to access / comment Pros Easy / fast to upload images and add comments, relativity easy interface. Easy to access remotely and edit. Cons Selecting items on a Canvas can be tricky, no way to easily select items one by one, you have to use the sidebar to change to marque, and even then the selection box will select items other than images you have to de-select (i.e. background box, etc.) Constantly get reconnecting message even when internet is connected fine. Can not zoom out to see entire contents of workspace if you have lots of canvases. Review Source PK Philip K. Architect Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Architects Thougths" September 8, 2022 4.0 Pros The ability to use it as a collaboration meeting/white board space where mulitple people can be commenting/sketching/marking up at the same time. Cons The ability to output professional looking documents/ sketches from the space. Review Source BK Brett K. Student Management Consulting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Bluescape Review" June 23, 2021 5.0 Pros The overall design of the program, how it was like a map and easy to creat and modify. Cons For some reason the software only allowed me to edit documents within bluescape, for example I would rather have the software redirect me to Microsoft Word when I select a document. Review Source Response from Bluescape July 26, 2021 Brett, thanks so much for your review. Glad to hear you are liking Bluescape and finding it easy to create and modify content. Thanks for your feedback about editing in Microsoft vs. Bluescape - you can absolutely do this. Simply click and open the document in a new window, and you'll be able to edit in the native platform, if you prefer. NJ Nathan J. Student in school Accounting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Bluescape review by student" June 18, 2021 4.0 Bluescape was a unique experience for me and I liked using it in class wish I could use it other classes more to get more experience I used it in one course for about 5 months. I would definitely recommend professors trying to use it so students get experience in it. Pros The ability to have everything on one page right in front is great. You can post pictures to get people's attention and draw them to certain areas. Cons When multiple users were trying to click into a document sometimes it would get moved or deleted on accident and that could cause issues for the class. Needs to be a way where users can't move things or remove them accidentally. Unsure if there is modes like this. Review Source Response from Bluescape July 27, 2021 Nathan, thanks so much for your review! Glad to hear you liked using Bluescape and having everything in one place. Things can get moved or deleted accidentally. Try pinning assets so this doesn't happen! https://knowledge.bluescape.com/docs/pinning-an-asset-web AL Alison L.

" June 21, 2021 5.0 Pros Bluescape was so helpful when all of our teams were working from home! It allowed us to leave work up for review and collaborate as a team as if we were around one table in the office. Cons We have been unable to @everyone and get all team members tagged and this would be so helpful if fixed! Review Source Response from Bluescape July 26, 2021 Alison, thank you so much for your review.

" September 8, 2022 4.0 Pros I can't imagine doing this kind of work without Bluescape. It's so easy to get moving quickly and get everyone on the same page with all the information in the same spots. Cons I HATE the little lines it always wants me to draw. I never want to make a connecting line or duplicate a box. I just want to move boxes. Why does it always assume I want a box to be orange with black text? I've literally never wanted that but every single time I make a text box it comes up that way. The dialogue boxes closing after selecting a background color is really annoying too. It should stay open so I can then pick my text color. Too much clicking around. Review Source EP Emily P.

Keeping everything in one spot is so helpful. Cons It's expensive and hard to get the proper technology that works with the touchscreens. Review Source JK Jennifer K. Principal Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Changed our communication as an organization" October 9, 2020 5.0 Bluescape changed our communication both with Clients and internally. From designing spaces, showing options, creating marketing campaigns, managing multiple projects, sharing information, getting feedback, etc. There are so many uses. Pros Really great for visual people. Can hold so much content and easy to navigate and communicate through the various features. Some of the upgrades have really elevated the experience. Cons New features for excel don't seem to work right and the video conferencing sound isn't very good. We just abandoned those features and use with Teams. Review Source AH Angee H. Director of Procurement Furniture Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Clients Love Bluescape" June 17, 2021 5.0 Pros We love the ease of use during presentations. Clients love to see large screen images and new technology. We have added Ceros presentations to our walls as well. We have multiple projects so we can show different projects quickly. Cons Sometimes the 2 fingers we use don't register and we have to do it multiple times. Review Source Response from Bluescape July 28, 2021 Angee, thanks so much for your review. Great to hear you're using the wall for big-screen presentations and clients are loving it. Thank you for your feedback about the UI. I will pass this along. NK Nakul K.

Pros File sharing seems easy to navigate with real time editing and such Cons overall layout is not user friendly. Find the page layout confusing. Review Source Response from Bluescape July 30, 2021 Jenny, thank you for your review. I'm glad you find it easy to share and edit files in Bluescape. I'm sorry to hear you don't enjoy the layout. The "infinite canvas" is different from other tools and does take some getting used to. If you get another opportunity to use Bluescape, please let us know. We're happy to walk you through the product and share best practices that might be helpful. BH Ben H. Manager Design Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "brainstorming, remotely, that actually works" March 3, 2023 5.0 Incredibly polished piece of software. Virtual meetings if they were designed from the ground up, rather than the camera up. Pros The ability to video call with a shared whiteboard that all participants can contribute to at the same time, regardless of their hardware platform, is pretty amazing. It takes those brain storm meetings properly remote without losing the ad-hocness of people being able to contribute like they would if they were in the room with a pen. Cons The templates are a bit corporate - this sort of software really excels in the educational environment and more templates designed for that would be great. Review Source DJG Dr Joanne G.

Pros The opportunity to build an entirely interactive platform for the participants to use during the seminar. Cons The challenges of putting participant into cohort groups. Much trouble could have been avoided with clear instructions to do this, but could there be an easier way?
