Figjam is the best and easy-to-use tool.

What differentiates FigJam from other similar products?

The whole interface is very simple but powerful. All the important options are there (great job with defining MVP scope)! The lowest panel with tools is extraordinarily user-friendly. Due to the restricted variety of choices to settle on from (and hierarchy) it’ very easy to search out precisely what you need. All interactions work as expected. The dotted grid is thus beautiful, and so are the tiny interaction details. It’s so fast, a lot of faster.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The arbitrary way of tagging info by using stickers, emotes, stamps is a good way to feature completely different dimensions to feedback, voting, and different activities. Animated indicator responses will facilitate icebreakers – there’s potential for use. Additionally, authorship indication for sticky notes is a nice QoL feature for recall, summary, etcetera.

What do you dislike most about this product?

There is no way to quickly find your notes when zoomed out. Therefore, it takes effort to induce round the board. Lack of map when rescaling canvas, that isn’t optimum for larger, more elaborate boards. There’s a small input lag for the tool when reactivating it with the spacebar (after the first release and press it again). Load time is slower for the first canvas initialization compared to subsequent ones. The color choice for sticky notes isn’t too intuitive (before laying them on the canvas). The drawing tool has palette choices after selection, whereas sticky notes do not.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Give this product a chance, it is so promising that it will make you addicted. This software have also a bundle of features that are extremely well and are so helpful. I recommended it. Love the stickers with avatars! Fun. FigJam is even additional informal than Miro with all the stickers and parts it’s like it’ an ideal tool to "break the ice“ and create the workshops additional fun and enjoyable.

A perfect fit for highly collaborative teams

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates FigJam from other similar products?

The breadth of plugins available for FigJam is truly amazing - we take full advantage at my organization. The base simplicity of features (while not lacking in offerings) allows us to wireframe, sitemap and have collaborative work sessions with ease, without having a large ramp up period to teach people how to use Figjam.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The integrations and ability to play audio (seriously) are my favorite parts of FigJam. When we're reviewing previous sprints (what we call "retroactive" meetings) to see what we could've done better, having music playing in the background makes the process so much more enjoyable. Being able to respond with emoticons to teammates' stickies is a great way to quickly and simply express your opinion alongside theirs.

What do you dislike most about this product?

FigJam does indeed lack in some core things - shapes, sizes and colors of sticky notes are limited and difficult to resize. As a result, the basic whiteboarding functionality can be a little tricky if you have a LARGE number of collaborators or need a huge number of different colors, etc.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you already use Figma and don't have extremely complex whiteboarding needs, FigJam is an awesome tool that fits the bill for us (both financially and functionally). I don't think we would want to switch away to anything else at the moment - we're quite happy with the functionality provided to us.

Pros

  • Enables Productivity
  • Caring
  • Saves Time
  • Includes Product Enhancements
