Whimsical offers an enjoyable experience with a user-friendly interface and a diverse selection of templates. However, there are a few limitations to be aware of:

Lack of Certain Flowchart Shapes:

One drawback of Whimsical is the absence of some specific flowchart shapes. Users may encounter difficulties when trying to utilize shapes that are not available in the provided collection. This can limit the flexibility in creating more complex diagrams and flowcharts.

Limited Color and Font Options:

While Whimsical provides a delightful experience, the limited selection of colors and fonts may restrict the level of design customization. Users may feel constrained when attempting to tailor their designs to personal preferences or specific branding requirements. Having a broader range of color and font choices would enrich the user's design experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Whimsical is a tool that helps teams work together to create diagrams and ideas in a visual form. It's easy to use, lets you customize your projects, and integrates well with other tools. It has made a big difference in how our team communicates and works together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The one thing that I personally dislike is not having a proper onboarding experience for the team. For beginners with no design or project visualization knowledge, there should be a proper onboarding phase where they can get used to the interface and functionalities.

Before it was overwhelming to have to make mind maps because I really didn't like it, Whimsical has made my life easier with its functions and templates so perfect for each map I need to make.

based on my experience there is nothing I dislike Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Whimsical made creating mind maps simple and helped me designs flows as well as wireframes for my products and features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The features could've been a little more user friendly, it was a bit clunky and tough to manage at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how easy Whimsical makes it for me to take what's in my brain and put it on "paper" digitally. As the owner of a digital marketing agency, I couldn't run my business without a tool like Whimsical because I constantly need to be able to create high-level strategy workflows for clients that are easy to understand and visually appealing.

There isn't much that I dislike about Whimsical. One thing that comes to mind is that sometimes when connecting boxes in workflows the arrows are a bit difficult to get going in the right direction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use with prebuilt templates to get you started. I love the mindmap feature and found it very easy to create buyers journey and email drip campaign flow to collaborate with team to get stakeholder buyin. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Moving around the screen is not as intuitive as I would like but once you work this out it is fine, just different. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has a very Clean and optimized UI and user experience compared to it's competitors such as funnelytics, diagrams.net etc.

Has and more functionalities and Easy to use as well Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hard to understand if coming from another flowchart as it's very different from them, and the website has some bugs. After signing up, I was brought back to the SignUp page whenever I pressed sign up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a lot of features which I love. Some of them are:

1. Flexibility - Whimsical is one of the most flexible tools I have ever seen. Except for the document files, you have an open canvas, and that's it. Being a student and a part-time community manager, I need an open canvas to draw out my ideas, a Kanban board to schedule them and a writer to expand them. Whimsical is flexible enough to offer all these elements under one roof.

2. Reduces overhead - As I said earlier, you get a whiteboard + document writer + kanban board + wireframes, all under a single product.

3. Performance - The performance is pretty impressive. Being a web app, I experienced no down times. I have been their customer for the past year, and the experience is fantastic. They even have a status page.

4. Collaborative features - The collaborative features are just top-notch. I collaborated with my friends to brainstorm ideas and my colleagues to schedule some work stuff, and it was smooth. The best part is that it is whimsical and integrates very well with your personal and work life while maintaining a separation between the two. Let me explain; you can create separate workspaces for your work and personal life. Plus, it keeps abstraction between different workspaces; you can add a unique set of users in one workspace who won't be able to see the members or data from another. That's an outstanding balance between collaboration and privacy.

It even allows other collaborators to join without being a member of Whimsical.

5. Management - Whimsical allows you to sort your files in folders and sub-folders. This can be very helpful in keeping track of files without relying too much on search functionality. You can always 'star' essential files for easier access. It comes with a trash folder, which keeps track of deleted files, which is very helpful if you accidentally delete an important file.

6. UX/UI - The UX/UI feels exceptional. The transitions are smooth, the performance feels snappy, and the rounded design is pleasing to eyes.

7. Community and Support - Whimsical team have positioned itself well close to the community. You can find a lot of templates designed by the community. My experience with support was satisfactory. I got a reply for a simple query in less than 6 hours, which is impressive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Whimsical is close to perfect, it has some minor downsides:

1. Lack of dark mode - Seriously, we are in 2022. A dark mode is a must to prevent eye fatigue. Not a serious issue, almost all browsers support a forced dark mode, but we all need a native one.

2. Inconsistent performance - Sometimes, the performance gets finicky. Especially when you're on the canvas, it's easy to lose focus. And scrolling can be a hassle. I wish it could be something closer to Miro.

3. Application - Yes, I prefer apps over a browser. They perform better than using them inside a browser. It's just a preference.

4. Fully online - Sometimes, you might want to disconnect yourself from the internet. But being a web app, Whimsical won't work offline.

Other than that, I don't think there is any reason to dislike Whimsical. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

UI/UX and flexibility while using the Mind Maps, Sticky Notes and Phone Interfaces. The auto-detection of flow in mind maps and arrows helps in quick ideation and fast sharing among colleagues Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Shortcut keys needs to be managed and improved like Alt+Enter doesn't work well for changing the line, also include the feasibility for bullets and strikethrough in permitted texts Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
