"Has been critical to our transition to online from Covid, will remain a key tool"

5/5

What do you like best about GroupMap?

GroupMap has been very useful as we had to shift our work --designing and facilitating collaborative processes and public engagement events -- online due to Covid. It has numerous features and extensive adaptability to assist with numerous collaborative tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GroupMap?

Overall costs are reasonable, but more flexibility would help in terms of dealing with larger meetings time to time, or the temporary need for additional facilitators, which can add costs quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GroupMap solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is a great tool particularly for brainstorming, evaluating ideas, and then moving from discussion to action. I particularly like how it can work both asynchronously and synchronously. Groups can work on maps individually between meetings, and then during meeting, interact with the maps with voting, ranking, commenting, etc. I like to use the valuable time together as efficiently as possible, and using GroupMap between meetings to collect individual perspectives allows us to use the joint time doing critical interactive tasks.

"Great tool to spark open discussiona and conversations"

4/5

What do you like best about GroupMap?

GroupMap is a powerful online platform which I like to use to have people start open discussion and conversations. By putting in a bit of thought in to the templates before going in to your meeting it is made easy to capture and securely save the input of the participants.

By going through the process of grouping, voting and rating topics provided as input an interactive meeting is created, where everyone feels their input is considered and heard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GroupMap?

The final report you can download after finishing your template is not as intuitive and formatted as I would like it to be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"GroupMap for online brainstorming and mapping to drive action fast"

5/5

What do you like best about GroupMap?

GroupMap is easy to use and invite participants (who don't need a licence to use the tool). There are many ready to use templates that all internal/external consultants like to use e.g. SWOT, PEST, Operating Model Canvas and the like. You can also create your own maps/template quite quickly with a really easy to use interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GroupMap?

Nothing really. I find it easy to use and can access support easily if required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering GroupMap:

My clients loved using it so much I decided to resell it. Give it a free trial 14 day trial at https://figura.associates/groupmap Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GroupMap solving and how is that benefiting you?

Great when wanting to collaborate with colleagues across the world or your organisation. But also excellent for use within a face to face workshop as you can quickly move to action planning after the brainstorming and grouping are completed. This has allowed us to move on from decisions to actions on strategy planning workshops / new projects etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One of the powerful online collaboration tools you are ever going to find!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about GroupMap?

Ease of use, Intuitive, Flexibility, Process Automation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GroupMap?

Trying to think of something ... I can't Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering GroupMap:

Initially, it might seem too simplistic - minimal features - very uncluttered screen. But then, after you've walked a group through a process, step by step, especially a virtual team of geographically dispersed participations spread across multiple time zones you will understand the magic of Groupmap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GroupMap solving and how is that benefiting you?

As both a consultant and a workshop facilitator I've used Groupmap for various purposes. These range from Empathy Mapping, Lean Startup to Brainstorming and Swot Mapping. The ability to configure each individual canvas to meet the specific needs of each client or workshop - guiding the online collaborators through the collaboration process seamlessly is perhaps one of the major advantages Groupmap has over all its competitors!

"Great tools to facilitate collaboration in distributed teams."

4/5

What do you like best about GroupMap?

My favourite tools of the suite are the Agile Retrospective and Brainstorming maps. The agile retrospective tool works brilliantly in a distributive environment and is also a great learning aid for teams that have less experience. The Brainstorming map is great for the other end of the planning process when collaborating with product teams outside the engineering function. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GroupMap?

I think the pricing model could be tweaked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best range of templates I've seen in any one program."

5/5

What do you like best about GroupMap?

GroupMap is intuitive. It appears you don't need any special skills to use it or to facilitate even the largest group. They seem to have every template I could ever want and the ability to customize the design and functionality of each. It has all the biggies like brainstorming, SWOT analysis, SOAR Analysis, Business Model Canvas, Urgent Important MAtrix etc. plus many industry-specific templates like Agile retrospective and KWHLAQ. Groups can attach files, make comments, vote on priorities and more. The anonymity function is excellent to prevent groupthink. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GroupMap?

Nothing at the moment. But I've only used the basic functions at the moment. Maybe I need to use it a bit more to see. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
