Pero me gustan los resultados que se obtienen. Pros Me gustó mucho las herramientas que posee el programa, la facilidad de uso y en la realización de modificaciones y la exportación de archivos. Cons Pienso que el precio es una desventaja cuando se trata del uso personal.

Cons A desvantagem do software para já é a sua curva de aprendizagem, a vantagem é ter colegas já com ma8s conhecimento. Review Source ES Evan S. Quality Assurance Coordinator Food Production Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Good for presenting and workshopping new processes" September 22, 2023 4.0 I use it for designing new processes and PCP documents. Pros It helps when you can draw out a plan or a flow diagram for presenting. Like most Microsoft apps it works well and I don't need to worry about it failing mid meeting. Cons Unless you have a stylus it can be difficult to properly write, so it's best on tablet and slightly confined on desktop Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Content writer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Just what you need in times of virtual meetings" March 13, 2021 5.0 Not everyone is good with verbal communication and when writers and designers communicate, you need to draw to explain and get your point across. This is what I've been doing and it's been so effective. Pros It solves all the issues that comes with virtual meetings. Previously explaining something verbally would be a pain but now with this whiteboard, diagrams, and charts can be drawn to better explain things in a meeting. Honestly it's a life saver. Cons Nothing. I love it. I'm very glad Microsoft came with this product. It is absolutely essential during Covid-19 when all meetings are virtual. Review Source OH Omar H. Machine learning engineer - Intern Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "This is the best FREE software out there for whiteboards." September 29, 2021 4.0 I think that overall it is an extremely useful software and I have used it a great deal for many things including tutoring. I would recommend Microsoft Whiteboard despite some of my critiques of the software. Pros One of its best features is that it is fast and extremely easy to use. 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 think one of the best things about it is how visually pleasing it is. I would recommend Microsoft Whiteboard overall. In short it gets the job done. Cons I have problems with the fonts. I do not like the lack of fonts in this application. I don't like that you have very little control over the size of the text and the size in general especially within notes. There is a lack of colors to use, there is only a small amount of colors available for usage. Review Source Muhammad A. Freelancer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Share Your Ideas!" July 7, 2021 5.0 Overall software is nice and it is becoming a must in virtul meetings. Pros Microsoft whiteboard is a very useful tool. It has many helpful features which make collaborating fun. Cons Sometimes the software lags while drawing, and it needs some more features like we should see who collaborated. Review Source WP Wasim P. Private Tutour E-Learning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Another great product from Microsoft" June 26, 2021 4.0 All in all, Microsoft Whiteboard is a very useful application which I use very often. Provide that the minor kinks are ironed out by Mirosoft, this application would be perfect. Pros The greatest pro about Microsoft whiteboard is its simplicity. The few controls and options that are built in, are very easy to use and manipulate. As a result, one does not get lost in searching for menus, and options. Cons Currently, I use a Microsoft Surface Pro 7 with the Surface Pen. Despite Microsoft claims that the whiteboard app is supposed to be well integrated with the device, in reality, the software lags quite alot on my Surface Pro. For instance, when it is required to pan the whiteboard, the software often lags/ delays after moving the mouse or pen. Also, there is some delay between the pen stroke and the line being drawn. Review Source AJ Adam J. Business Solutions Manager Building Materials Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A good option for M365 users requiring basic functionality" January 5, 2023 4.0 A solid offering included in the M365 suite. There are stronger options out there, but it's hard to beat the integration and price if you already pay for M365. Pros The sharing and integration across M365 is very strong - they have done great work providing a seamless experience across the web, app, and in-meeting experience in Teams. Good, basic whiteboard functionality for planning, brainstorming, mapping, etc. Cons The features are pretty bare-bones and the UX can be a bit counter-intuitive at times. Compared to e.g. Miro, there is a LOT of room for improvement (e.g. huge text limitations - single font, with no formatting options, lack of shapes and diagramming objects, etc.).

Studente Performing Arts Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Strumento essenziale" January 31, 2023 5.0 Mi ha semplificato la vita Pros Il fatto che permette la creazione di molteplici progetti pur essendo molto semplice e basilare Cons Niente che non vada, è molto valido come software Review Source Bastián M. Industrial Engenieer Civil Engineering Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Microsoft Whiteboard a tool to explain" July 1, 2021 5.0 I found out about this application thanks to my university professors, who during the pandemic used it to explain concepts in class, the truth is that I liked it a lot and I began to use it to explain my ideas in group work at the university. Pros 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. Another thing that I also like is the option to create lists that it incorporates, it really is super well designed and has quick access. Cons What I like the least is that it does not have diagrams or figures that facilitate drawing Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Digital Support Products Officer Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Collaboration within Teams" January 28, 2022 4.0 It is easy to share and collaborate on ideas with colleagues during a Teams meeting. Pros I especially like that, during a Teams meeting, you know that everyone is looking at and using the same board. Although other whiteboard tools are a bit more polished, the full integration of Microsoft Whiteboard as part of the M365 world is really useful. Cons As I said, it does lack a little bit of the polish of some other dedicated whiteboarding tools, but it has come on quite a lot in the last few months. I can see this improving to their level within a year or two. Switched from [Milanote](https://www.capterra.com/p/165790/Milanote/) The full integration with other Microsoft products.

Communications Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Perfect for classrooms" May 20, 2024 5.0 Pros It has a very simple design which is easy to use. You can change tools easily and navigate boards quickly. Cons It lacks a lot of the other features that other whiteboards have, for example, the collaboration isn't great unlike it's competitors like FigJam. It is good mainly for use in classrooms as an okay replacement for a dry-erase board. Review Source CL Coline L. Chef de Projet Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Top pour le télétravail et les conférences en ligne" June 2, 2023 5.0 Pros C'est un super outil collaboratif et quelque chose qui nous manquait pour rendre plus vivante nos réunions en ligne.

Cons It cannot be integrated with other software Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Blogger Publishing Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy and free whiteboard cloud-based Software" July 26, 2020 4.0 I use Microsoft Whiteboard to prepare simple slides to use in my tutorials. Pros I'm glad that Microsoft Whiteboard is also available for pc. I downloaded it for free on Microsoft Store for Windows10. It is a simple whiteboard on which I write using a digital pen easily. On my board I can also load different types of documents, as PDF, Word or Power Point document, and photos. I can draw using different colors, and underline, or cancel. I can save my work as PNG o SVG. Being is a cloud-based software, I can also work with others, giving them the link to my board. Microsoft Whiteboard is easy, fun, and free. Cons Surely many features could be added. I can't say it's a competitive product, but it is free, easy, with basic functions. That is enough for a quick work.
