As a desinger, I work with different disciplines (product and eng) who typically don't use Figma in their day to day, but they are able to hop into FigJam and hit the ground running due to its simplicity. **What do you dislike about FigJam?** The inital set up of licenses/seats, but this couldf very well be sn internal bottleneck within our org that needs to be worked out. **What problems is FigJam solving and how is that benefiting you?** Because my whole team is remote, we lose that ability to grab someone at random to brainstorm on a whiteboard. FigJam helps reintroduce that feeling in a remote setting without feeling awkward.

Some additional customization (e.g. background color and styles) could be fun, but the tool is already extremely flexible for all sorts of use cases. **What problems is FigJam solving and how is that benefiting you?** FigJam is the one-stop shop for collaboration in my current team, and many teams I've been a part of in the past.

I have a "Work Desk" and "Personal Desk" where I dump notes, code snippets, links, you name it. I can visually see what's going on from a birds eye view. I also use it for diagramming architectural flows, organizing flows, and a lot more! **What do you dislike about FigJam?** The 2GB size limit. My FigJam boards get pretty big.

Excellent collaboration tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** kelvin l. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 05, 2023 **What do you like best about FigJam?** Easy access for guests and people unfamiliar with Figma, quick and low learning curve, ability to quickly paste in Figma work or images for critiques. **What do you dislike about FigJam?** The templates? Not being able to edit Figma components, or rather, having to edit them before pasting them into Figjam. It limits collaborations to sticky notes or abstract ideas, which makes sense 80% of the time. **What problems is FigJam solving and how is that benefiting you?** Figjams are great in virtual work space to let users type out ideas in a timed environment. Nothing feels too permanent, so it's great to get people to share. ### 24.

We use it at work in some of our team meetings when evaluating and brainstorming; it has never been an issue whatsoever! I also use Figjam when working on my lo-fi prototypes because it keeps me from doing too many details, which I have a hard time avoiding when using a regular Figma file. **What do you dislike about FigJam?** Honestly, nothing! I only have great things to say! Of course I get annoyed sometimes when I can´t get the result I´m looking for, but Figjam shouldn´t have more functions because that is the beauty of it! **What problems is FigJam solving and how is that benefiting you?** Figjam helps our team to communicate what is going on, what is working great or bad and how we could move forward.

Highly Collaborative **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Andrew A. | Senior Product Designer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 24, 2023 **What do you like best about FigJam?** I love the ability to get a-sync feedback on any and everything. I also love facilitating workshops and documenting key decisions with the entire team. It's a huge win. **What do you dislike about FigJam?** Allocating drafts to projects can get rather cumbersome. I believe 90% of my FigJam files are left in draft until the end of a project where I move them and the URL changes (it's own mess). **What problems is FigJam solving and how is that benefiting you?** A-sync feedback gathering and collaborative decision-making. It's critical in this remote world and it would be tough to work without or a similar tool. I also love using it for team building exercises. ### 36. A great way to collaborate on ideas with team members from different disciplines and use cases. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Design | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 24, 2023 **What do you like best about FigJam?** The templates and plugins make for an easy way to get ideas up and running. It takes away the cognitive load from setting things up and builds a great starting point using best practices. **What do you dislike about FigJam?** Interaction parity with Figma. Double-clicking on a section doesn't automatically add the 80px padding as it would in Figma. Also more features on organizing ideas like pages! The board sometimes begins to grow and grow as more people get involved. Having some level of organization could help streamline the workflow a bit. Also some more robust wireframing would be helpful, it's a bit too low-fidelity at the moment. **What problems is FigJam solving and how is that benefiting you?** Asides from it being within the same software suite. Covering information and tooling that was once spread across many different tools. Having everything in one place is very helpful for getting work done. ### 37.

And I absolutely love it. It is so much easier to conceptualize stuff. I have started to like it much better than a physical paper.

Using their templates and stickers, I have done affinity mapping and customer analysis, before prioritizing the solutions based on the number of votes we can get in the same document. **What do you dislike about FigJam?** The one thing that makes it difficult is being unable to copy-paste text from another document directly to Figjam, also there is no way to copy and paste text from one sticky note to another. **What problems is FigJam solving and how is that benefiting you?** Figjam has made it really efficient for me to do design analysis and get feedback from my team on the same, maintaining all the documentation, wireframes, and images in one place have reduced a lot of the hassle of using multiple documents and software. - [View FigJam pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/fig-jam/reviews?page=6&qs=pros-and-cons§ion=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-22+16%3A05%3A11+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=8faff815-e806-4b89-879a-e4920ce8b3fa&secure%5Btoken%5D=50ced6f07c289044e5bfdd9585f15e557b6da2d6bf6ceea0cae90d9fd92ce040&format=llm_user) ## FigJam Integrations - [Figma](https://www.g2.com/products/figma/reviews) - [Jira](https://www.g2.com/products/jira/reviews) ## FigJam Features **Communication** - Status Updates - Notifications - Comments and Voting - Discussions - Online Status of Coworkers **Design Tools** - Drawing - Marker Colors - Mind Mapping - Templates - Drag-and-Drop **Collaboration Tools** - Collaborative Editing - Task Management - Notes and Comments **Collaboration** - Integrated Communications - Native Communications - Board Overview **Content Management** - File Sharing - Document Collaboration - Version Control - Tagging - Knowledge Base - Surveys **Communication Tools** - Voting - Commenting **Visual Tools** - Styles and Themes - Image Import - Custom Icons **Productivity Tools** - Task Management - Calendar - Search - Mobile - Multi-Language Support **Integrations** - CMS Integrations - Sharing **Mind Map Availability ** - File Formats - Cloud Storage Integration - Mobile Application - Desktop Availability **Hardware** - Required Hardware - Bring Your Own Device **Administration** - Moderation - User, Role, and Access Management - Performance and Reliability **Software Offering** - In-Browser - Desktop App - Mobile App ** Security** - Permissions - Single Sign-On (SSO) **Agentic AI - Mind Mapping** - Autonomous Task Execution - Decision Making **Agentic AI - Collaborative Whiteboard** - Autonomous Task Execution - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning **Agentic AI - Visual Collaboration Platforms** - Autonomous Task Execution - Natural Language Interaction ## Top FigJam Alternatives - [Miro](https://www.g2.com/products/miro/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (12,922 reviews) - [Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite](https://www.g2.com/products/lucid-software-inc-lucid-visual-collaboration-suite/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (8,544 reviews) - [Mural](https://www.g2.com/products/mural/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (1,398 reviews)
