## iObeya Reviews
  ### 1. iObeya: The #1 Tool for Building Visual, Collaborative, Improvable (& above all) Humane Work Systems

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tonianne D. | Partner and Principal Consultant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 17, 2022

**What do you like best about iObeya?**

Obeyas are like snowflakes: no two are (or should!) be alike. You and your team have your own way of working. So I appreciate the extensive functionality and myriad customizable templates (and related searchability and portability) iObeya offers so that I can build and continuously evolve my obeya to suit my team and projects’ requirements. 

And when I can’t find exactly what I’m looking for (or more appropriately, when I don’t really know what it is that I am looking for) Support seeks to understand my needs and concerns and makes suggestions based on my unique context. 

From work, to home, to education, to aspirations, whether your collaborators are co-located or distributed, I do not see a use case iObeya can't be applied to or provide immense value to. 

At the end of the day iObeya is the tool I don't want to work...live...function without.

**What do you dislike about iObeya?**

Ironically, it’s the very thing that made me abandon tools like Miro and Mural in the first place: the ability to create functional clutter which admittedly made  previous obeyas unwieldy and unsearchable. I sometimes wish I had the ability to drop a note beyond a frame. Bad habits die hard but in the end though, I'm grateful. iObeya keeps me "honest"...keeping my board organized, intuitive, and searchable.

**What problems is iObeya solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Given the recent mass shift to telework, most of us don't have the luxury of shared whiteboards and walls, let alone a proper physical obeya. Whether it is with our consulting business, our online school, or even our latest book,  iObeya helps us manage, collaborate on, and remain aligned in our work. It helps us identify and solve tomorrow's problems - and solve them collaboratively - before they become problems at all. 
 
Perhaps most importantly, it helps us achieve a sense of clarity over our work and our priorities (and our capacity), whilst giving us a sense of relatedness to others, the mission, etc. I’ve watched it change expectations and by extension, behaviors - my own and my team's.
It surfaces opportunities for conversation, collaboration, respect, and improvement across all parts of my org and, even with external collaborators.

**Official Response from Marilyne De Beaunay:**

> Thank you Tonianne for your positive review of iObeya! We appreciate your kind words and are glad that you find our solution valuable. Your feedback motivates us to continue delivering value and fostering collaboration. If you have any further suggestions or questions, please let us know.

  ### 14. Collaboration - visually appealing - performance and improvement oriented

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Stefan S. | Performance Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 28, 2022

**What do you like best about iObeya?**

I like the easy entry threshold and the quick involvement of most employees. Further I like the possibilty of escalation and deescalation of actions, as well as the possibility to send cards to specific collegues. Visually very appealing and nice to work with. For me it's a great tool to work together, to leave your opinon and to show the status of a certain KPI. It offers a lot of options about how to set up the desired KPI (frequency of input and colour coding of status (red/green)). Awesome that the KPIs can be summed (as well in custom ways) on other boards / levels. So the hierarchical structure can be nicely rebuild with this tool and all meetings can be hold in iObeya - quantitative KPIs are easily connected via formulas (just clicking) and qualitative Information (like escalations) are escalated via pre defined choices or send directly to collegues.
So far we are very excited to move the organization further inside the usage of the tool on all teams.

**What do you dislike about iObeya?**

The habbit of right click does not work in iObeya - but after a short time you are adapted. There could be more connection points to other softwares (but I know there are coming otehr oprions soon).

**What problems is iObeya solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Escalation of KPIs - following trends and the achievement of set goals.
Speaking about the real problems and solving these visually for everyone.
Collaborating in the teams, planing the work and following the important actions.

**What do you dislike about iObeya?**

Nothing for the moment, we got answers when something is going wrong and iObeya are giving quickly update when needed.

**What problems is iObeya solving and how is that benefiting you?**

They are developing their apps with customers needs and solving problems with quickly update, as for exemple the connection between severals application (Excel/Forms/SAP etc...) and iObeya

**Official Response from Marilyne De Beaunay:**

The customer team also is very supportive from the very start, to offer insightful resources, demos and training sessions.

At first glance, not the most user-friendly interface. People can feel overwhelmed by all the options offered. 

Further support can be needed, but the customer/support team is up to the task.

**What problems is iObeya solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I work in a company where team members are often dispatched in several locations and organizations. iObeya is helping to bring more collaboration into the work dynamics.

  ### 28. Collaboration that is Lean, but you would not know it

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Larry N. | Lecturer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 22, 2021

**What do you like best about iObeya?**

iObeya implements the benefits of Lean Obeya collaboration without knowing all the Lean stuff. In that sense, it is Lean without placing a requirement on you to be Lean, yet. If you like that Obeya is the best implementation of collaboration workspaces, then iObeya implements that virtually. There are few restrictions from physical rooms and the benefits of availability for distributed teams is very valuable. There are features that implement real data collection to collect, track, and view performance metrics. iObeya has become a full Visual Management System that dramatically reduces the overhead and maintenance of physical boards and manual data collection.

**What do you dislike about iObeya?**

Log in to iObeya often drops me into the help center. I would prefer that login always leads me to my Team rooms.

**What problems is iObeya solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am teaching Obeya as part of a college course in product development at Kettering University. Using iObeya directly implements the benefits of Obeya to students in the course. Collaboration within the course and among students is enabled easily as students readily understand and utilize the intuitive interface and actions. I can implement many activities virtually that are difficult to do in-person. Even my guest speakers are surprised and delighted with how effective iObeya is for interaction with students. Of course, it goes without saying that during the pandemic when I needed to teach hybrid classes with some students in-class and the remainder virtual, iObeya shined compared to alternative technologies available to me. With students spread out geographically, iObeya creates and environment where teamwork is easy to implement.

  ### 35. Engaging Virtual User Conference

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Rick V. | Principal Consultant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 02, 2021

**What do you like best about iObeya?**

The iObeya team is very helpful and committed to understanding my needs and translating them into actions that deliver value.

**What do you dislike about iObeya?**

Great tool for Scaled Agile framework deployment...a little light on the traditional Lean visual data management.

**Recommendations to others considering iObeya:**

You don't need to have your final solution in mind before you start! They can help you create that during the process. Just start with some basic objectives for your visual management approach. 
Try and connect with your management system - this isn't just a tool - but a platform to deliver connected teams and better results. 
Their team really wants you to be successful and will provide on-demand consulting support and advice.

**What problems is iObeya solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Virtual team huddles allow the continuation of engagement and connection up and down the organization.

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 13, 2022

The size of the panels adaptable to different projects and entities

Lack of automation and integration with existing files and tools in the company

  ### 37. Best digital collaboration tool I ever used

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 06, 2021

**What do you like best about iObeya?**

There are a lot of functions that I do not want to miss, but the one I use the most is the brainstorming session with dot-voting. None of our other internal tools has this function.

**What do you dislike about iObeya?**

I have nothing to dislike but some missing functionality:
- subscription to email notifications on single cards
- Cards that can be customized regarding the fields on the cards
- Read-only rights for the rooms

**Recommendations to others considering iObeya:**

Before you give the tool to the teams consider to have common rules to use and adapt the tools in the dock.
If one team uses the same tool on another board and change the settings, they change it for every dock where the tool is used in the room.

**What problems is iObeya solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We could work from one day to the other in 2020 from home without missing any task. The teams have awesome transparency on their sprint planning, and we can execute online retrospectives with nearly the same feeling as we were on-site.

**Official Response from Libby Noal:**

> Thanks for your review, we really appreciate it!
I wanted to let you that iObeya actually already gives the possibility to set read-only rights in rooms. Please don't hesitate to contact your customer success representative or our support team (support@iobeya.com) who can show you how it's done. There are also training videos on the iObeya Resource Center that can be of help.
Have a great day :)

  ### 38. Partnership on visual Management deployment

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Management Consulting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 13, 2022

**What do you like best about iObeya?**

Ease of use and handling thanks to a very pleasant ergonomics

**What do you dislike about iObeya?**

It would be necessary to provide the ability to modify the iobeya templates.

**What problems is iObeya solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Allows a very smooth animation of stand-up meetings

  ### 39. iObeya as effective communication tool

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Mélanie S. | Continuous Improvement Support

**Reviewed Date:** April 08, 2022

**What do you like best about iObeya?**

Easy to understand and use
Lots of possibilities and choices for customization of boards and other elements

**What do you dislike about iObeya?**

When adding/changing an image as a board background, it is not always fitting correctly on the board. Even more so when changing the size of the board, there remains blank space on both sides.

**What problems is iObeya solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Better and quicker communication with other people and teams. So mainly Time and efficiency benefits. Also, as it is virtual, the ecological benefits are great compared to using paper for these boards.

**Official Response from Libby Noal:**

> We appreciate your feedback Mélanie!

  ### 40. Changing the way we operate

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Defense & Space | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 17, 2021

**What do you like best about iObeya?**

iObeya allows our distributed workforce to collaborate in real-time with each other. We're having more team conversations with a higher overall quality of information conveyance.

**What do you dislike about iObeya?**

There is nothing to dislike. Changing the way we do things can be uncomfortable, but that is on us to fix our internal culture, not iObeya to change the software. Businesses love their spreadsheets, and we need to change that.

**Recommendations to others considering iObeya:**

Reach out to iObeya and request a trial. You won't be disappointed! If you have questions ask them. They are very responsive and VERY willing to help identify the best way to make the software work for you.

**What problems is iObeya solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are trying to increase communication within teams and amongst teams. We're constantly firefighting and want to switch our culture to be more proactive and preventative. iObeya is helping us foster this environment.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Michaël L. | Release Train Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 18, 2021

Feeling of ubiquity when one needs to simunalteously manage remote teams working on the same project.
Easy to setup and grasp, with a nice feeling of cleanliness and organization.

Also, amazing support from the iObeya team!

I don't see any significant downside which is not being addressed with the incoming releases.
Azure DevOps integration and performances with the connector could be improved, and I know the team is working on it.

**What problems is iObeya solving and how is that benefiting you?**

PI planning event facilitation with 14 distributed teams, retrospectives, workshops, preparation, and execution reviews are now more accessible thanks to iObeya.
Lots of paper saved and savings due to less business trips required to see everyone in the same room.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

Simple to use although powerful and. Flexible
start small and simple, then increase complexity
really reproduces what you can do IRL adding benefits of digital (remote worker, ..)

it is sometimes difficult for people to understand the benefits of iobeya without trying. so make them try and then they understand.
in large company, you may have to convince executives and fight against other-and-different solutions

**Recommendations to others considering iObeya:**

try first on a simple usage, as a POC-Proof-of-concept then you know

various usages of Lean management, agile and agile@scale, projet management

  ### 45. Easy-to-use and intuitive digital visual management

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Logistics and Supply Chain | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 22, 2021

**What do you like best about iObeya?**

The possibility of working remotely, with multiple people on the same board. The interaction between the cards. The customization of the panels. The administration of the platform is easy to use. The consolidation of data in the QCD module.

**What do you dislike about iObeya?**

Not being able to use iObeya on a smartphone or tablet... but this issue will soon be resolved. Lack of KPI/statistics in the Administrator platform: to have a view on licenses/users, etc.

On the problem-solving boards, we have tracking and actions to resolve issues of non-quality and non-compliance. We also use iObeya to track actions and risks for projects.

  ### 46. Digitalization of visual management and Obeya rooms

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Brian P. | Senior Lean and Performance Executive, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 13, 2021

**What do you like best about iObeya?**

Efficient way of managing visual management boards in digital way, which is user-friendly for members without border restriction, save paper and time, improve productivity, fast access to historized data and KPI trackings.

**What do you dislike about iObeya?**

The drawing tools can be improved to include more options.

**Recommendations to others considering iObeya:**

The boards created in iObeya are accessible to those who have their own company computers or laptops.  For shopfloor personnel who needs to access to iObeya, a big touch screen TV may be required to digitalize the boards useable by shopfloor personnel.

**What problems is iObeya solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Real-time updates of the visual boards can be made possible, where multiple members are allowed to access and update different part of the boads.  Virtual meetings and performance tracking are much easier now compared to the past.    Some specialized tool such iDCM really saves a lot of time in set-up, maintenance and update of the board and its elements.  It also allows for quick extraction of historical data for analysis and future improvement on productivity and cycle time.

**Official Response from Libby Noal:**

> Thanks for the review Brian! We really appreciate your feedback and hope that we can continue to deliver a solution that fits your needs.

  ### 47. Excellent collaboration tool - provides transparency and facilitates accountability

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Telecommunications | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 16, 2021

**What do you like best about iObeya?**

As the RTE, I immediately started seeing delivery patterns that previously had gone unnoticed. Additionally, the Program Board enables teams to illustrate dependencies and timelines, call out risks, and allow smoother delivery through understanding and clarity. The Portfolio board view highlights the need for collaboration with other members of our Value Stream to ensure alignment and reflects gaps in process. And finally, the iObeya support team is very responsive and provides detailed solutions with helpful visuals and instruction. I highly recommend this product.

**What do you dislike about iObeya?**

It can take a while to get used to zooming in and out on the boards.

**What problems is iObeya solving and how is that benefiting you?**

iObeya reflected gaps in the epic definition and analysis process as we used the Portfolio Kanban, and we were able to identify areas of improvement in collaboration to prepare our scope better and understand/align on the timelines. We are also using the Program Board to visualize delivery patterns and address delays earlier so the work doesn't pile up at the end of our PI's.
