This has compatibility to be embedded on School Management Systems > > **Cons**: The control credentials of the host or initiator have to be tightened so as to allow monitoring especially on the part of collaborating on the canvas > > Great platform for exchange and display of skills and capabilities under one window ----- ### "Great drawing software" — 4.0/5 > **Daniel** | *24 June 2021* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that it offers you some really useful tools to represent your ideas, either handwriting, text and image. Also the fact that you can change the type background in diferent styles you can configure is ver useful. And finally the export to pdf, word or even power point option comes very good in some cases > > **Cons**: I think that if they add more types of pen styles it would let the user make way more types of draws. Also if they could implement a better way to organize the boards that you made would be awesome so you dont have it all in one place being difficult to find an specific one > > It is a great software that may be useful for some basic drawing and idea organization ----- ### "Fine at first but becomes progressively slower and lags the more you work" — 2.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *25 September 2021* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have a brand new HP Spectre (1TB) that comes with a digital pen and MS Whiteboard came with the device. I'm pretty tech savvy and the interface is VERY simple (for me too simple) - so if you want it just for scribbling notes during a meeting or sketching out something to illustrate a thought, fine. It can do that. There are different basic colors, a rainbow color, and two pen tips, an eraser, basic shapes. You can invite others to collab on your board (but honestly it didn't make it that far for me due to performance issues). The lasso shape is useful to separate items layered on top as there doesn't seem to be a "layers" option. > > **Cons**: Ah, mostly everything. This is not drawing software. This is literally a digital whiteboard, so I got frustrated quickly with it wishing it could do more. When trying to export as an image, it only allows .png and. svg, and neither format worked in any program after exporting. I'd have been fine with the simple tools, but then it started lagging. For every. single. edit. A quick search shows that this is common for the program when you are not plugged in, even if you are full battery. So it's basic, but also a power hog. It didn't improve after plugging in though. It got to the point where I had to completely shut down the program and reboot because it just kept freezing. I'd say if you are contemplating using this, don't. Your IT team will thank you. > > I was able to create a shape for a logo I was working on for a client - it just took double the time to finish due to the software freezing. ----- ### "Microsoft whiteboard review" — 5.0/5 > **Jeffrey** | *16 May 2022* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very good except for the classroom performs very well > > **Cons**: Had a little issue with the pen at first > > Overall very good shows demonstrations very well worth the money 10/10 ----- ### "Great for quick meetings and collaboration" — 4.0/5 > **Kurt** | *14 September 2021* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: We used with an actual smartboard and had the ability to draw on the screen and automatically save presentations and brainstorming sessions to Office 365. > > **Cons**: Learning curve to a little bit as well as setting everything up with the actual smartboard. > > We loved this tool and made brainstorming sessions fun. and then the ability to share throughout our Office 365 environment with ability to build on and expand the boards is great\! ----- Page: 1 / 8\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/132943/microsoft-whiteboard?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/132943/microsoft-whiteboard) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
