Hoylu is the perfect project management solution for a visual team.
What do you like best?
Unlimited possibilities. No restrictions. You can mind-dump and organize later. Being able to free-form mind-map, share files, annotate, and draw right beside my team in real-time, is a game-changer. Workspaces are extremely engaging and everyone's input will live on in the Workspace.
What do you dislike?
There's a bit of setup required before you're able to start collaborating. You start with a blank canvas so you need to conjure up a bit of creativity to figure out where you'll place things. However, Hoylu just added a template toolbox which has helped a lot.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Hoylu is perfect if you're a visual person/learner. You can collaborate and design without the confines of bounding boxes, page sizes, and weird tool quirks. Using Hoylu is as simple as using sticky notes, pens, and text and as advanced as a full-fledged project management tool with task and iteration management.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
We use Hoylu for video production projects. We annotate and edit scripts, draw and edit storyboards, schedule our tasks, and link out to external resources and folders.
We use Hoylu as a central hub for all of our collaboration and it's extremely helpful to have a single workspace/single URL that I can share out to onboard a temporary contractor and get them acclimated to the project as a whole. The Workspace will have everything they need to get started, all the comments and design notes, and space to continue collaborating.
