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.

Our team connects better through iObeya regardless of physical location. Our ability to work together through the shared whiteboard tool lets us make project plans instantly without physical office space barriers. The virtual whiteboard lets everyone in the team work together at the same moment. Our team finds it simple to see their brainstorming results because of sticky notes and shapes that help them create visual concepts. Our work pace gets faster because we do not need different tools to plan and think creatively. The system connects to Jira and Confluence tools to maintain everything in a single platform.

The device's delay to sync data becomes a frustrating problem. Our screens may not show the latest changes made by users at their side which causes confusion. While it does not ruin the experience it remains an aspect that needs enhancement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The thing I know that iObeya does best is to improve team engagement when working together in a session. From running brainstorming meeting to strategic workshops, the visual workspace maintains discussions interactive, and the participants focused. I mean the ability to discuss with virtual sticky notes and diagrams to grasp the idea easier and to track progress over time. It has made so much of a difference in ensuring that remote and hybrid teams are equally involved in planning and in making decisions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is one of the things which can be frustrating with iObeya, that some interactions in fast paced discussion feel less intuitive. The process isn’t always as smooth as expected during the quick updates and rearranging elements of a board. This can get the flow of meetings underway especially if many people are trying to add in at the same time. It would be nice if there were more discretion on the fly, making adjustments without interrupting the discussion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
