Bluescape Reviews

I appreciate how it's mostly easy to use, some of the updates have been tricky and to be honest I miss some of the old features.It's great to work as a remote team and see things live

Sometimes it feels really clunky - features I miss that the team overall found useful:Changing font size by scaling up/down the boxAutomatic sized font- It's very hard and tedious to do manually and make work... And having a "template" doesn't work when the content does not paste in to match the formatting.I also REALLY don't like the dots/lines for charts. That double clicking a box or image will duplicate it out. This should be a separate option/function.

This software allowed my group to upload all their separate documents into one workspace creating a single area for us all to cite and create or projects. Document sharing and downloads were the most useful aspects of this software.

This software could get slow when a lot of users are on at once sharing different documents and working but for the most part no cons stuck out to me. Improving on group inclusive tools would be a great improvement.

Content storage and organization of ideas and supporting documents, all in one place

Large documents don’t open for sharing. Navigating the canvases is harder now than in the last version. Zooming and panning is annoying now, needs to be more fluid vs clicking off one to start the other. Need the Google images feature back. Need the canvas drop down back. Allow users to select classic Bluescape view vs the current. I choose classic

Being able to upload files for employees

When it won't take my uploaded files. Also not always giving notifications.

I think it's fairly using friendly. I like uploading several types of documents or spreadsheets and being able to have it all in one place.

I accidentally created a whole board in the wrong size and now I don't have an easy way of making it to the standard zoom that is in there.. So when I add notecards they're the wrong size font

Being able to make notes directly in the "landscape" as well as attaching screenshots and files is very helpful when having meetings internally and externally. All items entered are stored and easily accessible when the team needs to go back to it. The user experience is easy to navigate. I really like that Bluescape hosts webinars for users so they can learn about new features and tools.

There have been a couple of times when things entered into the software are not saved. Not sure if this is an internet connection issue or a glitch.

This is a great tool to manage a multitude of data under one file while seeing real time changes no matter where you are at.

Unable to edit Microsoft word docs on it.

Communicating with teammates and professor. And it is very nice for a group to gather in Bluescape and work together in one document.

The difficulty I would say is that at first I was struggle to use it but now I am more use to it. And the con is just whenever I try to zoom in and zoom out I always tend to lost my workplace. And it is hard to find sometime. Other than that I like it and I would recommend other students and professors to use it.

I like the smart grid and team collaboration feature the most. This allows us to upload our documents on the same page as other classmates and to organize neatly inside the smart grid. I also like how we can “pin” the grids and documents because sometimes, people unintentionally drag other people’s works and mess them up.

I dislike how the server easily goes down due to heavy access. I understand that this is mainly because of the collaboration feature where many people upload documents on the same page, but I strongly believe that I had better user experience if the pages loaded and scrolled more smoothly.

The efficiency in which you can create, combine, and edit documents is unparalleled with other programs. Integration into current work space is easy and the collaboration between coworkers through using Studio is invaluable.

The program is not necessarily intuitive as to where features are found, but online support and Q&A are easy to find solutions.

i like that we can collaborate digitally and keep record of our process on here.

that you can't resize all the images at once.

I love that Bluescape gives me a place to organize my ideas and sketches like a digital pinboard. I also love that I can present and collaborate remotely with other team members.

the drawing tools used to be more intuitive, but have gotten much harder to use since recent updates.

Great way to share knowledge and resources

Load time for assets, limited bandwidth to support a large amount of assets

Different approach to teaching and learning experience

Very difficult to use to teach students. System doesn’t like to work when many people are using. Can’t submit assignments

One place for everything. Helps with collaboration between users/guest. Saves time during the process and can keep things organized.

Not always intuitive, so learning curve for some.

Fun to see other ideas and it is really easy to tag other people.

Trying to draw on the canvas.....can be difficult. Also seems like the tools change often.

The ability to collaborate from anywhere with anyone.

URL links can't be easily shared while collaborating virtually.

This software is a place where you can organize and work with others to create projects and keep a lot of documents and etc.

It was difficult to learn at first but all new softwares are

Good to keep ideas organized and in a good flow, especially if things are not easy to accomplish, Bluescape helps in organizing the tasks.

It takes time for some people to wrap their heads around how Bluescape works. Mostly if they don't have a project management background.

The software offers a comprehensive field for us to look and review work of our peers and visualize the coming weeks into a graph. It has allowed our professors to lecture upon and correct our designs right in the platform.

The software is finicky and allows some range of movement on certain softwares vs others. I personally have an older Mac computer and it often lags behind a bit moreso than other types of websites similar. The “follow leader” button only works sometimes during our lecture and require some us to pause our professor in order to catch up or figure out the problem. Our professors don’t entirely know how to use all the buttons and can sometimes lead to lengthy expanses of time trouble shooting. In this way it is more complex than other softwares and offer some buttons we never use or consider using.

Yes, the product is easy to use. works well with teams.

earlier version was a bit clunky - newer update has fixed this
