iObeya Reviews & Product Details

I am a big fan of iObeya that simplifies visual work, particularly when working remotely. I will be able to make virtual boards which will be identical to our physical kanban boards and project boards and it can be integrated with such tools as Jira and Trello to automatically synchronize tasks. The drag and drop interface makes it a simple process of arranging the workflows and the ability to have all the projects on a single page keeps the team on track. It has become my everyday planning and team building center. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The negative thing is that there are boards that become slow when there is too many objects or large diagrams. This at times has led to slight inconveniences during peak periods. There is also no mobile experience as smooth as a desktop, and this makes it difficult to make quick updates on the go. These restrictions at times interfere with the working process when we have to work together in real time or look at some huge boards during meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The experience that I particularly like about iObeya is the feeling as though we were having the same meeting room, even when we are all remote. My team is also using it to plan and map out project phases and it easily complements what we already have in Microsoft 365. When we see everything laid out in front of us, we can clearly comprehend conversations, and we do not get lost. It has made me more grounded when the planning processes get intensive.

The biggest problem I have with iObeya is that it is so simple to clutter up a board when several of my teammates are going to work on it. It has us in a stack of notes before we can seemingly do anything about it. To do that cleanup in a tight deadline is a longer process than I would prefer and it disrupts our rhythm. It is not a big issue, but it creates an inconvenience in the process of ensuring fluidity when things are moving on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the fact that iObeya keeps the team on track when planning and discussing projects. Its implementation process was also smooth, and the feature list is in line with the way we actually carry out workshops. I can say that I use it on a frequent basis. The customer service has never been slow in responding, and this gives me confidence whenever I require some clarifications when I am in an active session. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The first weakness I observe in iObeya is that boards may be overloaded in case too many individuals are using them simultaneously. Layouts are also altered unpredictably by the implementation of new features thus slowing me down in the middle of an active session. That may influence the frequency of utilization of larger meetings. Whenever I contact customer support, it is not that difficult, yet such minor distractions introduce additional procedures in my workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For my marketing strategy work, I really like iobeya. Some of our team members work from home, while others work from the office. Before iobeya, we had to keep all of our plans in separate emails, Excel sheets, and PowerPoint files. It was a big mess.

We now have one "digital room" for marketing.

Strategy Cascade: The best thing is to link our strategy to our work. I put all of our main Marketing OKRs on one board. Next, we link these OKRs to our campaign plans and kanban boards. Everyone knows why they are doing their job.

Dashboards for Key Performance Indicators The Power BI integration is great. I connect our campaign data, and we see live KPIs (leads, CPL, traffic) inside our iobeya room. You don't need to check ten tools.

Structure: It has more structure than other whiteboard tools. It feels professional and is great for running big projects and weekly review meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are two or three things I don't like.

This is the main issue: customer support. Support takes a long time. Support is only by email. We had one problem with integration, and it took three days to get a good answer. For a tool we use every day, not having live chat is very bad.

Not for Creatives: My design team isn't happy. They say it's "not like Figma or Miro." It doesn't work well for mood boards, brainstorming, or mapping out a customer's journey. The templates are very "lean" and business-like, not for creative marketers. It feels a little stiff.

Cost: The website doesn't make it clear how much things cost. We needed to talk to the sales team. It feels quite costly, maybe too much for small teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my position as a Sales Development Representative, my job is simply to book meetings. The sales manager recently introduced the team to a platform called iObeya, and I enjoy using the platform for our meetings each day in the morning.

We created a room in iObeya specifically for people in the Sales Development team, and the manager has built out an area that includes a large scoreboard that lists all of our KPIs. It means that I can quickly see my name, the number of calls I have made, emails sent, meetings booked that week, etc. I like the presentation of the information in this format much more than our previous way of tracking it in a spreadsheet. It is a much clearer way to track how I feel about my performance and the work I am doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Okay, so the thing that bugs me most about iObeya? It feels like just one more thing piled on top of all the other stuff I'm already doing. I'm in sales, so I live in Salesforce, Salesloft, and LinkedIn every day. My boss will sometimes ask me to change the iObeya board, but I’ve already typed all that info into Salesforce. Doing it twice gets old fast, mostly since the Salesforce sync is hit or miss. Honestly, It would be great if anything new I put in my CRM just showed up on the iObeya card like magic. Having to do the same work twice is what gets to me most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

iObeya simplify collaboration process for virtual meeting, using digital whiteboard on brainstorming meeting session make it easy to pitch ideas, team can work together and edit the shared whiteboard in real-time, wherever they are, they see the same info on the canvas. There is endless creation possibility that can be create on the canvas, adding different shapes, graph, or doodles is available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing that they need to improves are the customer support channel and respond time. Now, they only provide for email support which take forever for customer support agent to reply for email support. A phone call support channel is a good choice for customer that need instant solution and talking to real human. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a graphic designer, I use iObeya with my team during meetings. I appreciate that it serves as a large digital wall, much like our office whiteboard but accessible on the computer. Since our team works remotely, this feature is especially useful. We can organize all our project cards, sticky notes, and tasks together in one virtual room.

iObeya works well for our weekly sprint planning sessions. The project manager adds all the tasks, and I can easily move my design task card from 'To Do' to 'In Progress' and then to 'Review.' This way, everyone can see what I am working on, and we avoid sending numerous emails. We also use the platform for brainstorming, and using digital sticky notes makes it simple to share ideas. Another advantage is that it connects with Jira, which our developers rely on, making it even more convenient for our workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To start, this is not a design tool. I can't do my actual design work here, nor can I properly review designs. It's nothing like Figma or Miro. Instead, it seems geared more toward tracking, almost like a factory workflow. The platform feels tailored for 'Lean' and 'Agile' managers rather than creative professionals.

Sometimes, it feels a bit slow, and locating older boards can be confusing. The interface isn't very intuitive for someone with a creative background; it comes across as quite corporate and highly structured. Additionally, I haven't found many templates suited for creative tasks, such as mood boards or customer journey maps—most options are business charts.

For a small team, I think this tool is excessive. We also couldn't find clear pricing information, and my boss had to contact a salesperson. It seems quite expensive to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

iObeya provide and endless possibilities with its visual management, create design for graph, showing latest data update, and collaborate in brainstorming session with remote colleagues. Easy canvas to edit or adding various digital assets like picture, graph or agile project management workflows to help other users to understand the workflow.

Slow customer support, only email support medium is available, no other channel. A live chat customer support will provide instant support, no waiting time of 3-4 days to get respond. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Build visual reps for data performance, easy dashboard navigation, information collaboration with team and outside the team. High security standard ensure data and information is secure, prevent issues like data leakage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack access from mobile phone devices, the data fonts is too small that isn't suitable to be viewed on small screen like phone or phone tablet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It lets us plan team capacity with 15-minute precision—perfect for syncing meetings/faculty tasks. iObeya’s «exchange area» acts as a shared hub for cross-room collaboration, while rotating {texts, images, or sticky notes} within the board makes every session more dynamic and visually engaging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I try to review/update boards between classes, some advanced features — like adjusting elements or managing permissions —just aren’t that intuitive on mobile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
