### "Ideal for your virtual meetings"

May 30, 2021

5.0

If you wanna use it in your professional world, then go for it. It will help you in meetings and presentations.

Pros

It is easy to use and there is no better way to express your ideas than by writing them on a MS Whiteboard. It is a digital whiteboard that helps us to create drawings, write text, insert images, explain anything we want, etc. I use it for my presentations and I recommend it 100%.

Cons

Some problems with inserting icons or resizing notes. I didn't have any big problem, nor any bug.

I have enjoyed using this tool and frequently show it to colleagues as a way to make their virtual meetings more interactive

Pros

My team and I had a lot of fun using this tool for team building and brainstorming. In our meetings we leverage Whiteboard for ice breakers as well.

Cons

Functionality is limited without launching a separate app, which can be impossible for those not using Microsoft or just too complex a workflow for those less technology literate

### "Less Functional Version of One Note"

April 4, 2024

3.0

I tried using it a few times in Microsoft teams, but I really just prefer OneNote

Pros

I like that you can add a whiteboard tab into microsoft teams, but other than that I havent really found it to be very useful

Cons

I think it is just a less functional version of OneNote, it has all of the same features but it allows you to draw. The drawing feature is really only functional if you have a tablet not a desktop computer

### "Great for meetings"

May 8, 2021

4.0

Overall, this is a great software to have as we have hibernated to more virtual meetings!

Pros

This is a great tool for meetings especially since things have gone virtual. Usually use the whiteboard to do make it more engaging than a slideshow and this helps to make more discussion. There are a lot of functions available to use making it fun to learn about the features too!

Cons

There is no way to distinguish who contributed on the whiteboard and this can be confusing and frustrating if you have a lot of participants in the meeting. Some of the tools need to be expanded to include more options for example the shapes.

### "Recensione Microsoft Whiteboard"

January 20, 2023

4.0

Efficace per delle annotazioni rapide

Pros

È uno strumento efficace per delle annotazioni veloci. Immediato e preinstallato nel sistema operativo Microsoft

Cons

Purtroppo, se dovesse essere paragonato a OneNote, manca di moltissime funzionalità. La scrittura dà poco feedback, e spesso lo spazio di lavoro sembra troppo piccolo (provato con una Walcom board)

### "Superseded by OneNote"

October 7, 2020

3.0

I trialled this product and ultimately found it unsuitable for team collaboration. OneNote is a far better choice for that.

Pros

The ability to doodle thoughts, ideas, plans on a virtual whiteboard and share them to the wider team for further consideration. Having access to a tablet or touch-based device also enables you to capture your thoughts in finer detail

Cons

Seems overly focused on replicating a physical whiteboard into a digital space along with the lack of flexibility when it comes to entering in content. You're hamstrung if you attempt to use a desktop PC instead of a tablet.

### "Great way to make virtual meetings more engaging"

April 28, 2021

5.0

Overall a very easy tool to use and it meets basic whiteboarding needs.

Pros

Whiteboard is a great way to move away from slideshow presentations and create a more engaging discussion for your audience. The desktop version offers a lot of functions and is very easy to use.

Cons

Sometimes it can take a while to load. If you're collaborating with others, there is no easy way to tell who contributed what to the whiteboard.

It is easy to use. If you like "sticky notes", you will like this idea and all the color choices.

### "In a Remote World, It's an Inexpensive Resource"

August 18, 2020

4.0

Overall it was a free tool as part of our existing Microsoft Office 365 solution and has given remote teams an option to brainstorm and collaborate virtually. It will take some learning either through their free training resources or if internally created to your organization.

Pros

It was easy enough to download the desktop app and start using immediately. A nice option for team brainstorming sessions while all remote. Collaborative capability with multiple users simultaneously.

Cons

As with most Microsoft products there's a learning curve - takes some time playing around with it to discover how to accomplish the task you had in mind. Still discovering new options and ways to make it more user-friendly within our team. Hard to see everything at once, need to zoom in and out and move around the page a lot if you have a lot of content on one board.
