i wish more job boards made it this easy to apply. i also like the feature that lets me know if a company is interested in me. i guess another thing would be that i've yet to get a job through this site.

Pros

lots of local listings, very easy to use and apply for jobs

Cons

hard to find remote jobs, not all job matches are a true match, too many emails matching me to jobs that don't match, and misleading headlines in the emails saying there are certain types of jobs available, but when i look at the listing it doesn't add up

We are a mid-tier manufacturer who has to organize jobs by contract, shipping destination, and timeline. zipBoard allows us to see all of our jobs in one place and easily organize them by priority, especially in this busy time of the year.

Pros

The user interface is very easy to navigate and nothing to tucked behind confusing menu options. When you click on an option, you get what you click and nothing else.

Cons

The color scheme can sometimes be a bit glaring if you're working late at night with your laptop as the only light source. Not a huge problem, but something worth noting.

good idea, rough usability

Reviewed on 2018/12/17

Pros

the concept of a visualization tool / way for designers and non-designers to collaborate is a good one.

Cons

usability issues are frequent. hard to view the entire board at once as the zoom function isn't good.

Perfect for Website Audits

Reviewed on 2018/12/13

Pros

Here's the thing, I'm a visual thinker and so are my clients. In meetings you will find us drawing things out and explaining ideas with pictures. When it comes to websites, explaining changes and revisions becomes harder because you can't just start drawing on your screen. That's where zipBoard makes our lives so much easier. We can easily make comments and describe changes right where we need them rather than going in circles on email.

It also helps us out with website audits for potential clients to show proposed changes in design. We can easily make relevant notes that are not only helpful for us but easy for our client's to understand. It doesn't take long to familiarize yourself with the software and the Chrome extension just amplifies that.

Cons

There really aren't many negatives that I can say about zipBoard. Overall, I've had a great experience using it.

I use zipboard to field feedback from my UX design clients, so we can perform fast iterations and keep projects moving quickly while maintaining the quality.

Pros

Ability to zoom in on large photos and annotate. Other prototyping tools are buggy or restrictive in this sense, which really limits commentary on things like large wireframes.

Cons

The performance could be better. I upload relatively small image files (<10mb) and panning while zoomed is laggy. Not the end of the world.

I enjoy zipBoard, it gets the job done. it does have a few quirks to it. but what software is ever perfect for every user?

Pros

Cons

I did not like the collaboration for when someone had read the task, and needed to tell the task owner they had seen it.

zipboard is easy to share, and connect with teammates located all over the US and on different schedules. it’s easy to keep track of past documentation and iterations of our project, while moving forward with new concepts. With improvements to the user experience, zipboard would be an incredible tool. Improvements include intuitive actions (ability to zoom/drag without specific action selected, alerts for new comments, and ability to use on mobile).

Pros

I work on a team with a lot of cooks in the kitchen and a lot opinions. Zipboard allows comments to be made directly on screens and facilitates conversation across teammates.

Cons

the usability is not intuitive which makes learning the tool extremely difficult.

Implementing zipBoard into our development process has taken the team from using antiquated manual processes to an easy to use, globally accessible, online process. The application is flexible in how projects are set up and managed. zipBoards environment allows multiple projects to be set up and managed uniquely; where other tools force a specific method for everything, zipBoard gives you and your team some elbow room. The views into your projects are also extremely helpful, there are multiple ways to view what is going on within the project, and the client and the internal team can both access the data while still preserving the integrity and security of internal information.

Pros

One of the strong points of the application is the ability to review the web based content, images, documents, or PDFs as the end viewer/learner. It allows the reviewer to experience the process from the actual finished viewing perspective. The ease of use is also very impressive, the reviewer selects the link and they are immediately directed to the presentation/web site/document/etc. It's just simple. From a task management perspective, the application is also extremely simple and logical. Customer or client feedback is easily reviewed and processed. Internal feedback is also incredibly easy to process, and with the actual location of any reported issues pinned to the task, resolution and validation is intuitive.

Cons

There really isn't any; the application is easy to use, intuitive, and consistently reliable.

Great tool, would use it again as needed.

Pros

It was quite easy to set up and figure out, and let me do all of the things I wanted to do to communicate with my team.

Cons

The only thing that would be better (but I suspect is quite difficult), would be to annotate a living copy of the website, instead of individual image captures. You lose a bit of the navigational feel while doing the annotation and commenting on it, but that's not a particularly big issue, just a "nice-to-have".

Good.

Had one instance where it was slightly troubling trying to use but i don't think it was the software, i think it was something to do with the page that prevented zipboard from working and i haven't asked for help about it yet as no time.

Pros

simple/easy to use, takes 5min to explain to someone how to use it if they're reviewing content.

Cons

I don't like that it requires a browser extension, this can limit where this tool can be used greatly, which means I personally can't use it with every colleague as depends on where they are situated. Of course, I know its very difficult, possibly not doable currently to have software like this without requiring a browser extension.

Also the logo...the 'zB' logo looks terrible and makes the software appear like it might be less professional/trustworthy than it is.

Faster review cycles

Pros

Easy to use. Like that fixes and changes are reported in context, you don't have to find the slide that has the error. Good for remote review. I like the link for a reviewer has a how-to video before they use the software. Yet some still don't follow it!

Cons

I've had some SME reviewers mix up slide titles with comments on the content. In other words, they did add a comment on screen, they clicked the title and made the comment there. So it can be confusing for some.

Pros

Love that you can take screenshots of the page and show exactly what needs to be changed. I also like that you can assign tasks to specific individuals and set the priority of them so that everyone can manage their time and efforts better.

Cons

The only hiccup we had was having developers use the site - it would have been better if double clicking a task on the kanban board would bring them to the screenshot directly and show the rest of the tasks that are also on that page

Pros

I used zipBoard for reviewing an e-Learning course. Great product. I can view it in different resolutions, add comments and track various issues.
A draw back is that there is no selective permission for users in the project. So everyone has equal access instead of hierarchical access.
All in all, I'd recommend it to others!
