The Tool I've Been Looking For...
What do you like best about the product?
As a brand strategist, I've struggled to find an online collaboration tool that is quick to learn, easy to use, and simple. I was shocked how quickly I and my team were able to start using InVision Freehand to brainstorm ideas, problem solve, and collaborate. Our clients love being able to see what we're working on. It's become my go-to tool for collaboration . . . if there's any chance I can work in InVision Freehand, I'm there!
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, there's nothing I dislike about it. I love the simplicity and visual collaboration element that is straightforward enough for anyone to learn.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a small creative agency, we use InVision Freehand to visualize processes and project flows, share projects for feedback, and brainstorm. I and my team typically love to do this work in a physical space with a whiteboard and post-it notes, but with COVID and a growing remote team, InVision Freehand has been an important part of us keeping this aspect of our collaborative culture.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you love to use a whiteboard and post-it notes to brainstorm, go sign up for InVision Freehand!
Great tool for collaboration across Product and Product Designers

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

InVision Freehand as a collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use and access. I like that the product is continually evolving and more features are being added.
What do you dislike about the product?
Continual shifting of interface elements results in a more complicated user experience. The speed and performance is also problematic at times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creative collaboration with remote or dispersed teams. Critiques that used to happen in physical rooms now can happen in a virtual environment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It helps facilitate conversations and critiques of work. It's a virtual environment that helps connect remote teams.
Good for basic whiteboarding activities
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to post screens for review and interactive comments - I really like posting notes on the boards (as opposed to the comments you post but need to click to open/read)
Easy learn when you invite participants

What do you dislike about the product?
The whitebaording templates are nice but as I recall the graphics elements don't work too well as groups and diagrams. We just ended up switching to Lucid Chart.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- we started with basic journey mapping
- we ran a brainstorming workshops to design a dashboard

You need to decide what you need:
- post wireframes or screen mockups for review / comment/ drawing on a board (with ability to update each screen)
- whiteboarding: do you need to vote, set breackout rooms, etc, or have a quick and easy place to brainstorm and draw
- create specs with easy to attach and read comments

Versatile tool for collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
It's flexible enough to be used for different goals. You can share projects, whiteboard, plan, and more. You can also use it synchronously or asynchronously.
What do you dislike about the product?
Uploading from sketch can produce pixelated images on Freehand
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Comparing different design directions for interfaces and icons
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The templates are a helpful starting point
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.
I love digital collaboration!
What do you like best about the product?
On invision Freehand, I like that you can resize the sticky notes. A specific competitor (Figma FigJam) doesn't allow for the resizing of sticky notes which is a big pain point for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
The first digital whiteboarding tool I ever used was Mural, and I was used to resizing text the way that Mural does it (a plus and minus sign button when you select the text). It took me a while to figure out how to resize text on inVision freehand (dragging the corner of the box to resize). It didn't feel intuitive to me how to resize the text. I also like that on Mural you can recolor elements like shapes, stickies, text, etc. using hex codes. There seems to be a limited color palette on inVision Freehand and this sometimes limits me (for example, if I am synthesizing research for 12 interviews I wish I could have 12 different colored stickies).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a product designer, I use sticky notes to capture data from user interviews. I then use these sticky notes to create an affinity map to gather insights. I also use Freehand for discovery sessions and for leaving feedback on designs. I feel like these digital whiteboarding tools have really helped my team maintain a collaborative spirit even when working remotely.
Overall a useful tool
What do you like best about the product?
It's a solid way to collaborate with my team & our partners. We can easily spin up a new Freehand or share a link to an existing Freehand and start collaborating
What do you dislike about the product?
There can be a bit of a learning curve for new users as they get used to the tools. The text sizing tool & zoom level are items I continue to see collaborators struggle with.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Since our org pays for InVision we have been able to solve collaborating digitally where we once may have been in a room together. It allows our team from across the globel to come together in a common space & share ideas.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're already using InVision, it's a no brainer to use Freehand for digital collaboration.
Delightful Experience
What do you like best about the product?
Flexbility to creat graphical assests like sticky notes and charts.
What do you dislike about the product?
Kind of hard to intergrate google doc into invision
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it mostly for brainstorming or competitive research, its really great with keeping track of all the screen shots I took.
