Previously, we all came at the ideas using different methods and had to bring them all together with one team member. All is now commonly put together. Cons This is a new product, and we were worried it would not be as complete as needed, or as supported, but this small software proved to be more complete than many larger software packages Alternatives considered [Aha!](https://www.capterra.com/p/144020/Aha/) Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

Consultant Leisure, Travel & Tourism ### "Simple way to collaborate with multiple stakeholders and get things done on time." 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 August 7, 2022 My team needs to collaborate with multiple departments and clients to build our products and services. I was using multiple platforms to keep people accountable, track progress, and collaborate. Since we use Nova things are different. We can manage very complex projects with multiple stakeholders and team members very easily. We can create a workflow, add people to certain milestones and things move forward without having to manually ask people to remember things or to add tasks to other platforms and without leaving the information inside different platforms. I was using Miro, Monday, and Typeform to manage my projects but each part of the project was on a different platform and due dates were not clear, and to be honest, I don't think our approach was working. I love those other tools but I think those tools work really well for very specific and small projects. Pros We collaborate with multiple departments and clients during all our projects and during that collaboration, we need to regularly schedule workshops with agendas , create surveys, work async, get feedback, request written responses to specific queries, etc. This includes multiple steps and people who need to be held accountable, but we also need deadlines for each of the workshops, surveys, feedback sessions, etc. We use this platform to collaborate internally and with other external collaborators. The platform includes all the things we need like tasks, whiteboards, surveys, training sessions, feedback sessions, etc and we can automate some of the work and keep people accountable. We use Nova because it helps us save time, work better together and get everyone involved but still get things done on time. Cons I wish we could make some of the spaces private. I love the current version for transparency but i personally would like to have a space for me, where I can have my own things.

Chairman Investment Management ### "Check out Nova if you struggle with online facilitation of disperse groups" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 September 18, 2021 Incredible service. Questions, problems they solve anything immediately. Pros Automated Facilitation of co-thinking processes. You can collaborate asynchronously without losing a step. Cons I think it would be nice to link participation data (quality, frequency, timeliness) to other APPs via Zapier for instance. Reasons for choosing Nova We need easy on-boarding of participants in a session of a chain of sessions in thinking processes. Participants vary per session and should be able to work asynchronously, step-by-step, without getting lost.

Founder E-Learning ### "Great tool for engaging students" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 September 4, 2021 I am a happy user and the customer service is just amazing Pros I find it really useful for my online courses and workshops. It allows me to keep students engaged and because it is visual and interactive, they retain what they learn in a significant higher percentage. Cons The voting button could be more obvious, but once you learn where it is, it is not a big deal at all Alternatives considered [Miro](https://www.capterra.com/p/128955/Miro/) [Mural](https://www.capterra.com/p/171956/Mural/) Reasons for choosing Nova Because it is not only a whiteboard. It also has workflows and it is better to organize teams Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor September 7, 2021 I'm glad to hear that your students are engaged and that the results are so promising. We will continue to investigate ways to make the "like button" more visible. DO Derek O. Principal Partner Management Consulting ### "Nova Helped us Focus Our Time and Be Productive" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 September 3, 2021 Productivity has improved since going remote with Nova. We're able to assign strategic sessions asynchronously based on each team members schedules. Because all sessions can be worked on individually on team members own time, this lets everyone contribute when they can allowing us to continually move forward. Pros Nova has an extremely robust library of tools and workflows that help you go through the ideation to implementation phases of projects or company strategies extremely effectively. The library of tools and resources expanded our awareness of frameworks to help solve client and our own business strategies. As an early company Nova helped to define our brand strategy, develop marketing guidelines, and understand our customers without the need to hire external consultants while making everyone on the team experts in these areas at the same time. When using Nova for clients, it seamlessly allows them to jump into sessions and provide input where we need it most. When confronted with projects or scopes that are just outside of our reach, Nova has helped us find tools and frameworks to expand our capabilities and support our clients confidently. Most importantly we can set deadlines for certain projects and assign each step of the process to team members. This has helped us stay on-top of key milestones and make sure that everyone in the team is participating/contributing evenly. Cons The white board is a great tool and looks great on Nova. They're constantly updating functions which forces you to reload your pages once in a while to adhere to changes to the program - not a big deal. Switched from [Miro](https://www.capterra.com/p/128955/Miro/) [Mural](https://www.capterra.com/p/171956/Mural/) Miro and Mural work very well as whiteboards. But we found it was quite directionless and boards became a source of messiness as opposed to productivity. Nova allowed us to structure the work we were trying to accomplish. Alternatives considered [Miro](https://www.capterra.com/p/128955/Miro/) [Mural](https://www.capterra.com/p/171956/Mural/) [Aha!](https://www.capterra.com/p/144020/Aha/) [Asana](https://www.capterra.com/p/184581/Asana-PM/) [Notion](https://www.capterra.com/p/186596/Notion/) Reasons for choosing Nova Nova had a better library and we found the platform had more structure to help team members stay focused. It also has an extremely interesting way of including stakeholders into ideation sessions which allowed for further productivity gains by avoiding big meetings for every step of the project allowing clients to also work on their own schedule.
