"An excellent tool for diagramming and collaboration"
5/5
What do you like best about FigJam?

FigJam makes creating diagrams and flowcharts very easy! In my job, I often need visual aids to explain technical systems, and I need to create those aids more or less on the fly. FigJam has been a lifesaver in that regard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FigJam?

My only complaints about FigJam are very small, the biggest of which is that I wish it were simpler to create multiple wire attachment points on one side of a shape, using a snap-to-grid alignment. There are times when I need 4+ discrete wires running into one side of a shape, and I don't necessarily want them all going to the central point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"FigJam is my go-to for brainstorming, strategizing, and sharing ideas with co-workers"
4.5/5
What do you like best about FigJam?

FigJam's #1 value to me is flexibility. My team collaborates with a lot of other stakeholders, so the ability to visualize complex concepts in a quick and digestible way is incredibly helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FigJam?

I wish FigJam were more directly compatible with Figma without some loss in quality copying back and forth. When taking designs from Figma to FigJam, or copying idea maps from FigJam to Figma, the format usually changes somewhat and requires additional work to clean up.

"Streamlining Efficiency"
5/5
What do you like best about FigJam?

FigJam is a remarkable collaborative whiteboarding tool that has truly revolutionized the way teams brainstorm and collaborate. Its user-friendly interface and extensive range of features make it a delight to work with. I particularly admire how effortlessly it enables users to visualize ideas, organize information, and foster creative thinking. The real-time collaboration capabilities make teamwork a breeze, allowing individuals to contribute and iterate in a seamless and efficient manner. Overall, FigJam is an invaluable asset for any team seeking to enhance productivity, foster innovation, and bring their ideas to life. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FigJam?

As a designer, there are a few aspects of FigJam that I find could be improved. Firstly, while the tool offers a decent range of basic design elements, it lacks more advanced design features and customization options. This limitation sometimes restricts my ability to create visual boards in FigJam itself. Additionally, while the real-time collaboration is fantastic, it would be beneficial to have more control over versioning and the ability to revert to previous states of the board. This would provide a safety net for design iterations and allow for easier experimentation without the fear of losing valuable work. Lastly, while FigJam integrates well with Figma, I would appreciate even more seamless integration with other design tools and platforms, expanding its compatibility and flexibility for designers working across different environments.

"An almost perfect tool that has lots of nice userfriendly features."
4.5/5
What do you like best about FigJam?

I love lots of features about figjam! First of all I love the whole interface and how easy it is to move arround (at least with a Mac device. Postits, highlighters, markers, stickers, signature on postits, colorwheel are basics that make working with Figjam a true pleasure.Then it also have features such as timer, music, call, voting that ad even more value and helps when carrying out some seshs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FigJam?

Eventhough I love the tool there are some things I don't like or that I think could be improved. My highest pain points would be the 24 hour session for non registerd users... This is truly nongood when trying to do sessions with people and I've to be constantly opening the file for 24 hours. Ahother thing I'd like Figjam to have is the ability of hide postits content until the author want to reveal the content. That would be amazing for Retrospective sessions. Another thing that pisses me of a lot is the connections beheabour... Is not inteligent... it does'nt adapt as it should... the starting point of a connection from a box should change if I move the connected box so the path is the shortest. And a little one at the end, would be amazing Figjam whas Giff compatible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An Easy To Adopt Solution For Teams To Brainstorm"
3.5/5
What do you like best about FigJam?

I like that FigJam is cloud-based and super easy for my team to get into the whiteboard right away and the functionality is easy to adopt - saving my team from any time investment to get involved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FigJam?

My only dislike with FigJam is the way that the pricing and plan types for users are broken into different categories (design and prototyping vs. whiteboarding) - as a marketing agency we utilize both and it's confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For me being a designer, it made the collaboration with team members much more accessible and efficient. The high is a real-time collaboration with the team this helps in remote working irrespective of the location which helps in work together quickly iterate. Additionally pre made templates and design component accelerates the development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. It is limited in options available in terms of brainstorming compare to its competitor. (Interface is very amateur and somewhat clunky)

"Perfect Collab tool for jam board"
5/5
What do you like best about FigJam?

The best part about FigJam is the same as any other product by Figma, the collaboration tool. Collaboration is very helpful and easy to use, even for a new user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FigJam?

Sometimes it takes a long time for the files to load and the export option doesn't come handy all the time. The full page is the layout which sometimes is not so easy to navigate to understand the artboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An essential tool for collaborative teams"
5/5
What do you like best about FigJam?

Anyone can get in there and start using it. It's pretty intuitive and we use it all the time across many teams to collaborate, brainstorm, plan, whiteboard, etc. We also switched to using FigJam for all team retros in the company. All the templates, timer, stickers, music, and more make FigJam fun to use - but not in a way that distracts from the work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FigJam?

I don't dislike the tool at all. I will say one pain point we ran into is that there currently isn't a way to use stickies while maintaining anonymity. Anyone can go click an icon to toggle the original authors name off and on to see who said it – not ideal for retros BUT our account rep taught us to switch to shapes and we no longer have this problem. Would be nice to have a retro setting on a FigJam that would preserve the psychological safety of team members. We feel extremely supported by our awesome account rep.

"Amazing experience, but there's room to improve"
5/5
What do you like best about FigJam?

I'm a copywriter, and using Figma was a big learning curve for me to work with my company's designers. FigJam, on the other hand, was super easy to learn. I use it for even the simplest things like group brainstorming sessions and just mapping out my thoughts. I would say that it's a key tool in our team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FigJam?

I can't say that I have a specific problem with FigJam. It's a great tool. I guess my only callout would be that I'd like to have more features. It's easy to use but I'm sure there are additional features you could add to make it more fun and interactive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
