What is Conceptboard?
What do you like best?
It’s fairly easy and simple to start and get used to the layout, it also provides a very intuitive toolbox to pick and create a collaborative board, it provides most of the relevant features for kinds of tools.
Conceptboard it’s amazing for brainstorm ideas with colleges that do home office or working abroad. But also allows to map out product do plans. It’s really a powerful tool that allowed us to enhanced our remote meetings for a next level.
Here in my company, we had to change to another whiteboard app since our previous one could not meet our security requirements and kept changing its privacy policy. Since then, we tried Conceptboard and, honestly, we have nothing to complain about. Besides, the Ui was very intuitive, which made the process of moving from our previous whiteboard app easier.
Concepboard combines a blank canvas for creative work with powerful collaboration features like comments, chat, moderation mode and even in app video conferneces. This makes conceptboard one of the most powerful tools for wordwide collaboration with partners and clients.’
When we were obligated to stay at home because of Covid, my university teacher started using it as part of his lectures. He was using Conceptboard as a whiteboard during our online classes and we were able to access his notes later. Even after the class, we would comment on his notes making the material more interactive
What do you dislike?
As we were a lot of students, we were not able to get a license for each. Instead, we were using free licenses which had some limitations, but we were able to manage it.
The user interface is not the most modern and could benefit from a fresh touch in the eyes of a designer. But every tool and option can be found quickly, so the UX is still pretty good. Also the currently offered payment option(s) could be extended. Currently, Conceptboard offers Credit Card payment, no Paypal.
We had a few problems with the Single Sign On integration they provided after we subscribed to the service. Nevertheless, their IT department and Customer support were flawless in helping us with all the information we needed to solve the problem and allow us to connect our users to the app.
The App is available only as a web app. It doesn’t offer any apps for mobile devices, or any other operating system, that’s a down point, but i believe is easy to improve.
I think the tool does make it easy to navigate as one needs to be clicking a button prior to moving around, importing content does not automatically embed you need to use their specific options to do so, and even though I like the building blocks gallery it doesn’t make easy to customize.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mainly presentations when small collaboration is needed as voting, and timeboxing, I think the toolbox’s layout turns out to be very intuitive for participants which allows moving forward faster than expected.
An amazing feature is that the app autosaves the board after every action which is great if you have multiple task or have to go to a meeting. Also you can access a history of the changes that have been made. That helps a lot.
Our teams are already using whiteboard apps daily. Conceptboard meets our security standards and is helping us to comply with ou security needs. We use Conceptboard to do our team meetings, sketch up new ideas, organize some documentation and communicate visually with different teams
As a designer, exchanging design drafts with clients is an exhausting task. Often files are too large for emails or not handy enough in other tools. Conceptboard allows me to upload all my client work onto one canvas, add comments, thoughts and versioning and then invite clients to that board. Clients then can add comments, arrows, likes or dislikes. And this happens all in one place. No more sending files via multiple file transfer platforms, asking for a review. Love it!
We were able to turn our online classes more interactive, allowing all the students to have access to a real-time online board and access to the whole class material. Now we are back in class and a few teachers are still using it during class as an alternative to the whiteboard in the room.
