InVision Freehand Review
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it's relatively easy to use, and I can share with others who don't have InVision as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
There have been a lot of small changes and enhancements since the start, and I can see that InVision was still working out some kinks. I don't like when tools get in the way of where I'm working (ie floating toolbars).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaborating and having a quick way to show something to someone who doesn't use the same tools as me.
Best collaboration and idea sparing tool for remote working
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is very helpful in conducting Strategy & Vision Sessions. Process and Data flow. Develop, Ideate & collaborate on the UI low fidelity mockups. Also having multiple templates to choose from is a great feature.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not enough support for transition between Sketching, scribble to Text support! UI mockup icons & structures can be improved, there are quite some already known use cases that can be provided as templates, like mobile customer login to checkout cart!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro is a huge value add in aligning the team on process flows. It also helps me as a Product Manager to express my initial expectations on UX flows, and UI expectations as Mockup. This reduces turnaround time and also allows team members in a different time zone to contribute async.
Incredible innovative platform for collaboration in project management.
What do you like best about the product?
Miro's collaboration tools are fantastic, and the ability to build boards and grant access to others is what sets it apart from the competition. Miro is the only software I've tested that smoothly blends an easy whiteboard/mind map interface with live collaborative features. It comes in handy when I'm working remotely and need to communicate or have a quick brainstorming session. The capacity to capture "writing" allows for cooperation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sharing capabilities need to be streamlined and more intuitive to use. Having two different options for getting a particular "link" can confuse multiple users around you and distribute the wrong link. I think this can be avoided by rationalization. Third-party plugins can also cause problems, but this isn't entirely Miro's fault. Better documentation and developer support will help eliminate these rare issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro solves many of the collaboration limitations of having no physical office space and not being able to interact directly with colleagues. With Miro, my organization can exchange ideas, manage projects, share ideas, and celebrate in virtual space as if they were sharing a meeting room. With a wealth of shapes, colors, arrow types, and the ability to write text on arrows, Milo made it as easy as possible to create flows and processes. Simply handing over the board in this flow will make communication between teams much easier and save you the time and effort of verbally explaining over the phone. The feedback feature helps collaborate and collect feedback and integrates feedback on the board rather than on multiple messaging platforms.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Assess your needs and the needs of your users to decide what level you will most likely require. Utilize the free tier as much as possible to assist consumers in becoming acquainted with the features and interface. Take a look at the many templates to get you started. In terms of productivity and visualizing my thoughts, Miro + a tablet with a pen has been a blessing for me. You should also investigate what plugins are available, whether ones match to other applications you now use, and how the two may be integrated.
InVision Freehand is an extremely useful tool
What do you like best about the product?
There are a plethora of tools and add-ons that help me communicate my designs. One of my favorites is the wireframe tool. I also really like the ability to create kanban boards.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was an ability to integrate freehand with specs. Sometimes I want to show my specs document with the flows, but right now freehand only supports prototypes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm solving issues with real-time collaboration. Freehand is useful because it has a timer, walkthrough functionality, and the ability for remote teammates to collaborate in one document. We use freehands for our remote design reviews.
Great collaboration tool for teams
What do you like best about the product?
My team uses Freehand religiously for sharing work and collaborating each sprint, from brainstorms and alignment workshops to presenting and collecting feedback on mockups. New features like frames, reactions, deep links, boards, and comments continue to improve the experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be difficult to share freehands with folks outside our team who may not have InVision accounts or permissions. There's also a bit of a learning curve for people who have never used a whiteboarding tool like this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My team uses Freehand to collaborate each sprint, as a way to document our work (prototypes, flow charts, etc.), share internally, and gather and track feedback. We also use it for more collaborative exercises like workshops and brainstorming sessions. Especially in a largely-remote working culture, it allows us to be "in the same room" to work through ideas together and document our thoughts in a freeform way.
A go-to solution for digital product designers
What do you like best about the product?
If you'd asked me what I like best about Invision 5 years ago it would've been the integration with Sketch and the ability to take screens a build quick prototypes with them. When the pandemic hit I was sent home to work and running design meetings without a whiteboard and gang of post-its was difficult. Now my fav part of Invision is their Freehand product. I can hold creative meetings with non-creative coworkers just as easily as I did in-person.
What do you dislike about the product?
We still struggle to get coworkers added to certain prototypes and freehands. We need a dead-simple, free license for guests to view and comment on these things. We have Mrual also at play and they both compete but Mural is winning because it's easier to add unlicensed team members.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It acts as a virtual whiteboard and helps my teams ideate. I use them to create user flows, logic trees and wireframe sketches. I've also used them to facilitate meetings and team exersises.
Online and In Person Multi-Day Workshop Experience
What do you like best about the product?
It was great to be able to cross collaborate from people across the globe in one area and then reference it back in future meetings and help organize the thoughts in post it notes and buckets.
What do you dislike about the product?
It was a little bit difficult things to get typically easy formats - I wish it had some smart art features like PPT which would have saved me a lot of time when creating charts and references.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main business problem was how to revamp our entire departments approach to delivering our methodology. InVision allowed for a great way to cross collaborate this approach across all of our different staff in remote areas and different countries.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The product itself is great - the UI needs just a bit more work to make it user-friendly. A few easy bits to add in that would allow easier connections, frequently used shapes, ordering of the pages was impossible to figure out TBH. It took a lot of time to clean things up and make them look nice instead of having more smart art we could use to group ideas.
Great tool for collaboration across Product and Product Designers
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to comment, review, critique and approve designs faster than before. It's easy to have a birds-eye view of what my new product is going to look like, and I have the ability to drill down to specific needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like it to have more improved collaboration tools for our executives to be able to view designs more interactively.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been able to iterate on customer feedback and improve features faster than before. My team is more productive and our output is better.
UX Designer Using Freehand
What do you like best about the product?
lots of whiteboarding capabilities (charts, mockups, comparisons) and anyone can use it at my company for remote brainstorming and I like how it stays forever documented
What do you dislike about the product?
takes a little bit of time to get folks to onboard and understand the tool when new people join and sometimes it takes some effort to get on an Invision freehand to share work when a conversation sparks something visual
still a little bit challenging to use to visually think vs what I love about a real whiteboard

Auditing various products per customer in a grid
Using low fi designs to create different directional ideas for a UX problem
collaboration and brainstorming ideas with other designers and product managers
Benefits = being on the same page visually at a low fidelity design

nice collaboration tool, but deff need more guidance for content management.
What do you like best about the product?
1. multiple note-taking, wireframe-drawing, and comment tools boost the efficiency of collaboration and communication, especially in the virtual co-working environment now.
2. really appreciate you adding the key-word searching capability. it's a game-changer for our exp. before we often had a messy huge board in the middle or by the end of the sprint. it was always hard to locate some previous notes/ideas.

What do you dislike about the product?
the presentation view - i don't necessarily dislike it, but sometime in my use case, I need some reference in other areas of the canvas to view the presenter's current view. always wish to have a split-window or something when I m following the presenter's view.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
i can provide the visuals and ideas more quickly and accurately with the tools on freehand. building up a more holistic view of the ideas I wanna present to the team. Good ideas are hard to describe to better understood if ppl see the visuals.
