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.
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.- Industry: Computer Software

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.

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