Fantastic tool for virtual meetings!
Ok, now I am writing my review for the 3rd time because the first time there was an error, and the second time my popup just disappeared before I could send. Argh.
But - this product and the work behind it earns some praise, and thus I take the time for another review^^ (I certainly wouldn't have done it if I weren't excited enough).
What problems does it solve?
Keeping participants of virtual meetings engaged in a meaningful (!) way. I'd say it is not a tool for every meeting (however, no tool is for every meeting), but especially for brainstorming, (project) management, and decision-making it is awesome. I am using it mostly for my online classes when having a brainstorming session, group work, and summarizing at the end of a lesson. It has the potential to make the class much more individualized to the needs of each participant.
What do I like most?
I love that participants can vote on their ideas after submitting them. And even better is that you can work with the brainstorming + voting results further in the workshop (just watch their brainstorming video on YouTube). That is quite unique!
Recommendations?
If you have a similar use case (education, public workshops) you should be most concerned about a sufficient amount of public participants in your plan. If you mostly would use it internally, members might be a good route to go, too.
If you have any questions, ask the support team. They are very helpful and friendly!
I think it is an awesome product and if you are dealing with virtual meetings you should definitely get it. Happy to be on board!
