Whimsical

Avantages

Whimsical est un logiciel excellent et facile à utiliser. Avec lui j'ai pu facilement structurer mes idées pour une meilleure organisation et aussi la suivie de mes projets.

Inconvénients

Le commencement avec ce logiciel ça m'a été très difficile mais avec le temps j'ai eu ma dose.

Avantages

I love the ability to map out on a huge board that accommodates with the right visual design tools so I can put my business ideas "on the screen". I love how much I can do with it.

Inconvénients

I love whimsical for what it is. I'm not sure what could be added or improved upon per say. I will genuinely think about this though.

Avantages

It does have a user-friendly interface.
The free tier allows any user to make a lot of tasks
The real time collab works as it should.
There are plenty of features to organize and schematize any work load.

Inconvénients

The drag and drop feature is a little clumsy often, and it makes it a little difficult to manage some items simultaneously.

Pourquoi passer à Whimsical

Avantages

The ease of adding diagrams and the creation of flow charts

Inconvénients

Too many colors, not serious. This seems to be the trend nowadays, but I belong to the old school, where serious and professional things are black, white, or on a gray scale.

Avantages

Whimsical's perfect for brainstorming ideas, planning projects, and presenting concepts to clients.

Inconvénients

Maybe a few more advanced features would be nice, but for what I need, it's spot on.

Avantages

This is the tool that cover many of different management software products.

Creating flux diagrams, managing sections of a website, creating a schedule, producing organigrams, many things can be done with ease in this tool.

Inconvénients

I haven't found any considerable reason to dislike the software.

Avantages

- Beautiful interface
- Very easy to use: I mean how easy you can connect pieces in a diagram is almost unreal.
- Collaborative and cloud based
- You can create folders to keep your diagrams ordered and easy to find
- Easy to share diagrams, and get feedback in the same file.
- A free tier

Inconvénients

I can't think of any, I've been using this software nonstop for the past few months. And it always amazes me how fast you can build diagrams, it has made the task of documenting so easy too. I love it.

Avantages

I absolutely love whimsical - I have been using it for 2 years now for my professional and personal projects.
In particular, I love their Wireframes - no other paid or free software comes anywhere close to this feature. Another thing I love about Whimsical is their support team - they are super quick to respond to any queries that you have!

Inconvénients

Mind maps are always 1 to Many mapping - Many to 1 are not possible but again it's not a deal-breaker

Avantages

Whimsical has become my favourite mind mapping app. I used to use apps like Xmind but Whimsical is much nicer and beautiful to use. I tried the mind mapping feature in Clickup but it doesn't compare at all to Whimsical. This is so much easier to use.

Inconvénients

Overall, I'm pretty pleased with it. The only confusing thing with it is you can't "delete" mind maps.

Avantages

What I like the most is the Time Machine features, I hope they will release the stable version soon and maybe release a desktop app in the future.

Inconvénients

It's troublesome if I wanted to open another board in a new tab when I'm inside a project board. I have to type in whimsical.com in my browser to brings me to the project dashboard so I can open the other board in a new tab.

Stopped using post-its and started having more time my day. Life Saving.

Inconvénients

Needs to add more Shapes.For the Rest it works great.

Avantages

It is very user friendly.It has different design options.Its drafting is simple.Anyone can design a flow chart with little instructions.

Inconvénients

It has no option for automatic page setup.It does not have the option to utilize full page or divide flow chart in several column without automatic arrow showing the flow.

Avantages

I really like how easy Whimsical is to use, as you just drag/drop shapes and easily connect them to make diagrams and flowcharts. It's great for showing my thinking and creates polished-looking visuals. The design is great and the colour scheme is eye-catching.

Inconvénients

It's great at what it does, but the use-cases for me are limited. I mostly use it for creating flowcharts, which is very useful but there's not much else I would personally use it for.

Avantages

Whimsical is intuitive, easy to use without having to contend with a learning curve, and it integrates seamlessly with Notion.

Inconvénients

Sadly, our university uses Office 365 and Teams integrates with Miro, so I ended up using Miro more.

Avantages

Whimsical is one of the best tools for teamwork, as it enables us to interact in real time through the many tools it provides to easily collect, synthesize, and present ideas. It's great how we can gather team input, and our customizable ready-made templates help us a lot, so we can collaborate on graphs, wireframes, and flowcharts and bring them out with great visualization. In addition, Whimsical also enables us to insert and format all the notes and add shapes, images and videos within the boards with ease.

Inconvénients

Whimsical is free of complications, but sometimes when the canvas contains a lot of text boxes, shapes, and arrows, the system becomes slow and this may pose some difficulties in linking and coordinating the components as required.

Avantages

Tools to create all kinds of charts are legion. So are tools for wireframing. Some are easy to use, some do great things. Very few manage to achieve both at the same time, but Whimsical does.

Inconvénients

Not much to criticize there. In the wireframing library, some additional components would be nice to have.

Avantages

Funktionalität ist genau richtig (nicht zu viel, aber auch nicht zu wenig). Design ist schön und gleichmäßig. Performance ist gut und immer "snappy".

Inconvénients

Export als Vektorgrafik fehlt noch. Momentan geht nur als PNG

Avantages

What I like most about this program are the collaboration tools that allow teamwork without limits due to distance or schedule. In this way, any member can collaborate at any time.

Inconvénients

What I like the least is the movement within the interface, at times it can be annoying since it makes it difficult to change templates and you can get lost if you have several projects on the work table.

Avantages

Easy to understand, easy drag and drop features, and very clean with easy navigation and control. I have used too many tools before, but nothing provides what Whimsical provides in its free plan.

Inconvénients

There is nothing I can dislike about this tool, but maybe adding more features to the mind mapping panel will be great.

Avantages

The software looks very clean and polished with easy navigation and controls everything works well. You have most of the tools for project management in 1 software. If you use Notion is very well integrated with it which is what originally sold me on it. It's so easy to use goodbye Trello (never embraced it), Lucidchart (not bad but for simple process/flowcharting this is better), and a few other Mind Map software that never did it for me.

Inconvénients

I haven't found one but I'm still kind of new to it and I just hope they keep making it better.

Avantages

I rarely get this excited about a product, but Whimsical changed my daily workflow. It is so easy to create easy, elegant diagrams and wireframes. And it's even easier to share - just send anyone a link and they'll be able to access the latest version of what you're working on.

Inconvénients

I can only think of really minor things, like when I'm trying to comment on someone's diagram, some of the elements are not eligible to have comments added to them (like arrows and text).

Avantages

If you need to do the job nice and easy - Whimsical is a go-to tool. Within a couple of clicks you can make all the stuff you need - wireframe mock, proof of concept, diagrams to back-up your presentation, the list goes on.
It is easy to get into and simple to use.
It is also very good for collaborative projects.

Inconvénients

Free trial version features are limited and the full version costs a penny. This may be a huge turn off for those who need this kind of a tool but doesn't have the budget for it.

Avantages

As a lover of flowcharts, this product blew me away. It's overflowing with features that facilitate diagrams, mind maps, and prototypes too. As a PM, I can make very detailed prototypes for smaller tasks and not even need to request formal wireframes from our Design team! Also great for documenting how stuff works in your business. Really helped me get onboarded quickly. A visual-learner's delight.

Inconvénients

There are some really small but hyper annoying nuisances. 1) the text options are way too small. I have to strain my eyes just to see the XXL text. 2) Pasting can be frustrating because the pasted image always appears in the same spot, rather than where I'm working. I have to scroll "miles" to find the thing that I pasted just to drag it to the relevant portion of my diagram,

Avantages

Creating mind maps, charts, and the like is a visual exercise -Whimsical has designed something so beautiful that it gets the creative juices flowing. It so easy to walk my team through the things I create in whimsical without any kind of learning curve.

Inconvénients

Would love to see a few more features to populate my diagrams with more helpful content. For example, embedded docs or websites.

Avantages

I am using the free version and it makes wireframe building so much easier. I struggled with how to build and present wireframes to my clients until I discovered Whimsical. Now I can visualize and build quickly and then use them as a guide when I build/design the website. Also, it makes it easier to visualize sales funnels which I appreciate.

Inconvénients

It's a bit complicated at first, trying to get the directional arrows to go where they are supposed to and figuring out how to use all the elements in the way I intend. I got frustrated the first time I used it because the elements didn't behave the way I expected them to. I think it just takes practice. I did not watch or read any tutorials, which I am sure would have helped.
