Scrum Master Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great collaboration tool I have used for Scrum team stand-ups and retrospectives" May 29, 2018 5.0 Creating amazing collaboration spaces with team members to get actionable feedback to improve the team Pros Easy to use and anonymous login's allow for my teams to voice their true opinions without worrying about perceptions Cons As a grandfathered user I enjoy the Monthly price point but my co-workers are unable to receive the same rate and so many of them need to use less effective tools. Review Source Response from GroupMap June 5, 2018 Thanks for the great feedback Adam and for being a long term supporter and user of GroupMap. VR Verified Reviewer Founder and CEO Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Amazing tool for remote teams." June 1, 2018 4.0 Remote Consensus that can be done synchronously or asynchronously. Pros I love how easy it is to create a process of group brainstorming and decision making, and how easy it is to use. Cons I dislike the lack of integrations, IFTTT or Zapier would go a long way towards making this tool useful, as often we have to copy over the information from groupmap to other mediums, and it would be great to automate this process. Review Source Response from GroupMap June 5, 2018 Thanks for you wonderful response. We are glad that it has helped remote teams and to make them the best and the brightest! We are currently working on Slack integration to make your GroupMap experience even better. More to follow too. John S. CTO Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "GroupMap has effective online dot voting" May 29, 2018 3.0 Pros Lots of configuration options for different types of voting, easy to send out a dot vote and track - surpassing the functionality of any other tool. Cons Admin interface and reporting needs better usability. Licensing options are limited for enterprise environment Review Source Response from GroupMap June 5, 2018 That's terrific that you loved our superior dot voting technology. Let us know how you might like the admin and reporting interface or your organisation needs for GroupMap at info@groupmap.com. Would love to understand more. VR Verified Reviewer CEO & Strategy Catalyst Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Group Map has changed how I facilitate strategic visioning." June 4, 2018 4.0 Pros The software is easy to access and use but even the least technologically advanced. After they have completed their work, generating a report is as easy as pushing a button. Cons For those accessing the software on handheld devices, a brainstorm once developed is hard to track and read. I will often want to use these for subsequent activities and am thwarted by how the program displays. Review Source Response from GroupMap June 5, 2018 Thanks for your wonderful response and we are glad that you loved the simplicity as well as how it has changed the way you facilitate strategic vision. If you are having any questions about brainstorming on handheld devices or would like to share further feedback, please do write to us at info@groupmap.com. We would love to make your experience even better! PN Paul N. CEO & Group Facilitator Human Resources Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The best group process support tool in the market today" January 7, 2017 5.0 And I have reviewed and used a number of them. As a GDSS expert, I can say that GroupMap is the most brilliantly designed piece of software it has all the features a group facilitator might need to transform our flipchart methods in the digital world. Participants can access meetings with any mobile device including the facilitator. Yes, you can run a GroupMap meeting from your mobile device. This product also includes a vast number of templates that you can start to use right out of the box. Besides you also can choose from a number of ready-made canvas that can make your work to invent your own processes much easier. To be honest, it is difficult to find a "minus" in GroupMap, I would have to think hard to write about anything that needs improvement. Pros It includes a comprehensive number of templates that I have not seen in any other product at this price range and the simplicity in the use is amazing. Cons For remote meetings, you still need to use an audio or video conference platform because GroupMap does not include voice or video support. Review Source Response from GroupMap June 5, 2018 Thank you for this terrific review Paul, Great to have such wonderful comments and insights from an experienced and GDSS expert! John O. Cofounder Environmental Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Perfect too for our collaboration needs" July 12, 2018 5.0 Pros Ease of use coupled with advanced features, facilitates agile ceremonies in a distributed team environments. Cons The pricing structure could be tweaked, I think that a more dynamic structure that calculated participants/month and priced accordingly would be an improvement. Review Source Ferry J. Business Intelligence Developer Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "There are many good templates to use for different meetings, Customization is also very nice." May 30, 2018 5.0 Pros Many templates, always one that suits your needs. If not, you can probably change an existing one to make it fit. Cons Finding the right template can be a bit of a pain. There are so many and the grouping don't always make sense to me. Review Source Response from GroupMap June 5, 2018 Thanks for such wonderful feedback and glad you like the templates. We have added a search feature for you to find the templates and also re-categorized some of the templates. If you have any other suggestions please let us know. Thanks a bunch! JC Jenny C. Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Quality Program with flexible features and easy to use interface. " July 17, 2021 5.0 The customer service and support has been outstanding. The support team are open to new ideas and have helped us to adapt and utilise the product to suit our individual needs. Pros The flexibility of the program to be used for a variety of needs. We have used the program with individual, small group and across the whole company. The familiarity of the product means that more people have accepted and been willing to engage with our projects. Cons We have some staff who are not extremely tech savvy so that has been challenging. Review Source Response from GroupMap July 21, 2021 Thanks for the wonderful review Jenny and great to see that it has provided you with good insight through engagement with your project!!

CNA Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great during school" August 14, 2021 4.0 Pros The software is very helpful and useful especially during school I would like to write out my thoughts in concept maps so this problem definitely helps a lot Cons Nothing I like least the. The other besides they couldn’t clean up more Review Source Response from GroupMap August 20, 2021 Thank you for your kind review. All the best! Great that it helped you organise your thinking. AV Avinash V. Test Specialist - QA Insurance Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A simple but powerful tool for doing online collaboration" May 8, 2018 5.0 Our agile retrospectives became more effective by using groupmap as our development team is distributed geographically. Also it is easy to vote on the feedback and create actions from those feedback points. Pros 1\. Simple and intuitive to use 2. Easy to do agile retrospectives with distributed teams 3. Ability to share the facilitator capability with others 4. Easy to create and customise templates Cons 1\. Reporting is not very effective 2. Enterprise admin licences are costly for what you get 3. Sometimes there is a lack of templates for wider use 4. Lack of a survey feature Review Source Response from GroupMap June 5, 2018 Thanks for the wonderful feedback. Great that you love the simplicity, customise templates and facilitator tools. great that your team got a lot out of it. There is a survey feature in there but would love to know more about what templates you might require. Feel free to let us know at info@groupmap.com. TK Thomas K. Manager Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Schlicht von einem anderen Planeten" March 14, 2023 5.0 Workshops mit GroupMap sind so einfach und erfolgreich, dass wir nur auf Grund der Software ausgebucht sind. Pros GroupMap hat ein eher altmodisches, aber für die Nutzer perfektes und einfaches UI. Auf Grund der Struktur in einzelnen Boards lassen sich perfekte Workshops bauen. Die Teilnehmenden finden sich sofort zurecht und die Führung ist narrensicher. Jede Person kann nur das tun was zugewiesen ist. Für Workshops perfekt. Funktionen wie Rating nach verschiedenen Perspektiven, die Rechenfähigkeit, das Bilden von Summen und Durchschnittswerten sowie der Expot in Excel und die Transfers von Teilergebnissen in neue Wände, eröffnen ein Universum von Workshop Formaten mit sofortigem Impact für die Gruppen. Das kann kein anderes Programm. Cons Die Grafik und alles was mit Bildern zu tun hat kann erheblich verbessert werden. manchmal arbeite ich mit einer KOmbination aus GroupMap und Miro. Reason for choosing GroupMap Funktionalität für Workshops Review Source SM Scott M. Senior Designer Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great to establish a structure to Retros with a new team" April 25, 2018 5.0 Pros The predefined structures help, with the ability to customise them. The ability to share easily with many users (who don't have to create accounts) is also great, and has allowed us to run retros with remote teams easily. Cons A limitation of the plan I'm on (Basic) is the ability to create templates. For how often we use the software, it's not worth bumping up to the next plan, however. Grouping across columns also creates issues with the way we use Groupmap it would be good to have an option to disallow this. Review Source Response from GroupMap June 5, 2018 Thanks for your kind feedback and we are glad that you and your team are getting a lot out of the tool, even on the basic plan. We could not work out if you wanted grouping of ideas to be across items or within a column. Most of our users like to have the flexibility to group common ideas across all columns. But please do let us know at info@groupmap.com. Thank you. KH Kevin H. Business Analyst Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Amazing" April 24, 2018 5.0 Pros The ability to use it to collaborate in a virtual environment. This tool has been so useful to me and my team to be able to communicate and not need to have meetings after meetings. Cons There is very little about this product that is bad. The ability to customize the templates allows for great flexibility. Review Source Response from GroupMap April 26, 2018 Thanks so much for this great review. We love helping you and your team achieve so much. It was great to have your work recognised by the management team too! Let us know what we can do to keep you happy. DB Denise B. Program Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I love the product" June 4, 2018 5.0 Being able to go back and review the thoughts over all my retrospectives is great. Pros I love the ability to group an vote. The report that is available is easy to PDF and send without manually typing it all out. Cons If you miss a thought while grouping, you have to un-group everything and start over. It would be great to add missed thoughts to a group without starting over. I also wish the tool would prioritize by thoughts in a group as well s votes Review Source Response from GroupMap June 6, 2018 Thanks the wonderful feedback Denise. Glad that it's saving you a bunch of time. With your grouping, you can ungroup individual ideas without starting all over. We'll be in contact as needed. We'll aim to make this more clear for our users. Glad you like the time saving reports. RR Raghavan R. Scrum Master Legal Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "user friendly agile retrospective tool" November 2, 2018 5.0 Pros This software is extremely easy to use for running agile retrospectives and getting feedback from teams.
