Microsoft Whiteboard

What do you like best?

Whiteboard is pretty useful if you are already using other Microsoft products like Microsoft Teams and OneNote because of the integration across these different products. It's also "free" in that it comes with your subscription to Microsoft 365 unlike similar whiteboarding tools like Mural and Miro (you need to be a paying member for these platforms). At least the desktop app version offers a lot of functions that these other apps provide, like postits, drawing, inserting images, etc. What's also cool is the magic wand.

What do you dislike?

Some functions that are available on platforms like Miro and Mural are not available - you can't adjust the size of sticky notes, you can't insert things like icons easily, you can't insert frames and create templates... the list goes on. If you want to do advanced whiteboarding, Whiteboard comes short

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Think about your organization's needs for whiteboarding - if it's going to be just for basic things (inserting texts, putting stickies etc) you probably don't need Miro or Mural. You can just do fine with Whiteboard

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

whiteboarding, brainstorming, ideating, analyzing qualitative data - these are all "problems" that Microsoft Whiteboard can help solve
