Collaboration suite for creating wireframes and user flows

About Whimsical

Whimsical is a collaboration suite designed to help businesses create documents, wireframes, flowcharts, sticky notes, mind maps, and more to improve ideation across the organization. It enables users to quickly design project plans by collaborating with teammates on a drag and drop interface or working solo in a focus mode using markdown shortcuts.

The wireframing module offers a library of customizable elements including checkboxes, inputs, buttons, and searchable icons, letting multiple stakeholders work on a single document at the same time. It provides resizable stacks, which allows administrators to sort and organize cards in groups, attach rich text, images, or comments, and track project progress on a Kanban board.

Editors can create new files or edit existing documents, share folders with viewers for feedback and provide edit or view access to guests across specific files. Other features are SAML SSO, GDPR and CCPA compliance, and team management.

I'm an ideas person and I feel unable to move forward with my goals when I cannot get my thoughts out. It is also a challenge for me to express what I'm thinking in a way where people will understand not only the context but the call to action. Using whimsical, I have been able map out my ideas in a flow and shift around what makes sense for all areas of my business growth and development. I've been able to share this map so my team can help me more effectively and understand the plan.

Pros

I love the ability to map out on a huge board that accommodates with the right visual design tools so I can put my business ideas "on the screen". I love how much I can do with it.

Cons

I love whimsical for what it is. I'm not sure what could be added or improved upon per say. I will genuinely think about this though.

We do employ Whimsical on a daily basis for several customers project, and we even invite them to collab with us, so we can take a better glimpse on their demands and wishes. It says clearly how glad we are employing this great tool.

Pros

It does have a user-friendly interface.
The free tier allows any user to make a lot of tasks
The real time collab works as it should.
There are plenty of features to organize and schematize any work load.

Cons

The drag and drop feature is a little clumsy often, and it makes it a little difficult to manage some items simultaneously.

Alternatives Considered

Trello, Microsoft Project, Asana and Visio

Reasons for Choosing Whimsical

We made the change for many reasons, one of them, our customers might have easier access to our boards than using those other paid platforms. Additionally, Whimsical does provide many tools that can't be found separately in those platforms.

Reasons for Switching to Whimsical

As said previously, Whimsical allow us to create a bridge with our customers. They do play a role important in any decision-making process, and they don't have to pay or do any difficult maneuver to sign up with their Google Account and straightaway participate in our brainstorm sessions. Additionally, the interface is pretty easier to use, making it less time consuming than other alternatives.

Too many colors but few professionalism

Reviewed on 2024/01/06

Pros

The ease of adding diagrams and the creation of flow charts

Cons

Too many colors, not serious. This seems to be the trend nowadays, but I belong to the old school, where serious and professional things are black, white, or on a gray scale.

I use it for everything from wireframing and mind mapping to creating flowcharts and user flows. Used to rely on a bunch of different tools, but Whimsical's got it all in one place.

Pros

Whimsical's perfect for brainstorming ideas, planning projects, and presenting concepts to clients.

Cons

Maybe a few more advanced features would be nice, but for what I need, it's spot on.

I can give this software 5 stars since it is super easy to employ, the tools are user-friendly, and it does offer several premium features for free users.
