Pros

I like that it can be used to collaborate with a remote workforce team. It helps us stay connected and on task.

Cons

I am unable to paste things using the right click on my mouse in the ewhiteboard and it can get annoying. I also wish there were more sticky notes and tools you could use in the software.

Overall, the product is to-the-point, robust, and great at what it does: providing a digital whiteboard.

Pros

Microsoft Whiteboard is a great tool for getting the whole team at work involved on a singular project, or allowing a space for everyone to share their thoughts.

Cons

Sometimes it can be hard to get people to use Microsoft Whiteboard when they are focused on other tasks. However, this is more of a people problem and not indicative of a negative experience with the product itself.

Pros

I liked how simple and intuitive Microsoft Whiteboard it, it makes brainstorming feel natural without getting in the way.

Cons

It can feel a bit limited when you want more advanced tools or customization options. Occasionally it also lags with larger boards, which can interrupt the flow of work.

I enjoy useful Microsoft whiteboard, typically you do need a stylus and digital tablet to get full use out of it.

Pros

Very useful for tracking any brainstorming activity you may do. It can be good to use the pdf's it produces to share with others.

Cons

It does take some getting used to, but once it is mastered it works very efficiently and produces good quality outputs.

Really good all around, I wish the functionality was a little better but it is a great tool especially for meetings with multiple people

Pros

Great tool, particularly for running workshops with my team either on teams and in person. I use it regularly and I find it some helpful.

Cons

Can sometimes be a little slow and Miro has slightly better functionality but Whiteboard is a great tool.

Microsoft Whiteboard helped a lot to draw concepts and bring them to life using MS Teams meeting and chat boxes. It is helpful when the company adopts the full MS stack and not as a separate tool. I love the flexibility to draw and mic, and match between objects inside the whiteboard. I look forward to more AI integration to become an intelligent canvas.

Pros

Needs improvement, especially when it comes to other leaders in the market like Miro, Concept Board, Mural, etc. I like though compatibility if we use a Microsoft environment at work because it helps a lot to brainstorm within the blockchain adopted and to save templates so that it would become less time-consuming time after time.

Cons

Lack of UI/UX in comparison to the pioneers in the market. I would love to see more of a smart, intelligent canvas as a whiteboard and not a normal bi-demensional one.

Very good. I like the integration with other Microsoft applications and collaborative environment remotely.

Pros

Accessibility, options for different pens and drawing tools, and smooth writing using mouse pad with small range.

Cons

Tends to crash when other software applications are open, initial experience included lagging when video camera was used.

I have used it more since the pandemic and also found it useful for group learning or research tasks. Last year during a CPD session it gave excellent evidence of joint participation for our annual accreditation

Pros

Great integration as it has allowed teams sessions to be more collaborative and gives a clear outcome from meetings

Cons

Initially I found it a little laggy but this may be due to my own site’s internet and the initial roll out of whiteboard as I have found it useful and reliable since

Free to use this product! This is a great feature when having access to any other Microsoft software.

Pros

I love that you can draw and add sticky notes to the whiteboard. You can use this with other Microsoft software. I like that you can scroll in any direction to use the whiteboard. This adds a great feature to the product.

Cons

The only con I have come across from time to time is that sometime hesitates when using it. If in the middle of a meeting, this can be discouraging.
