azendoo vs. Whimsical

Large organizations can really benefit from azendoo due to its ability to segment into teams. The various levels of organization are helpful for organizations with many coexisting initiatives, and I find that it has been instrumental in our success building out large campaigns or product launches. In general, azendoo is just an excellent project management tool, with little-to-no learning curve.

It's extremely well-suited for rapid wire-framing of concepts, as product teams can quickly collaborate on any idea and create a visual blueprint of it. Whimsical could provide more intuitive feature prioritization templates. The current templates lack the necessary detail and could be further enhanced from a UI/UX standpoint.

• Categories - Azendoo sorts to do lists into workspaces in a way that was relatively helpful.
• Expandable - there are lots of ways to apply/implement azendoo that makes them useful and flexible to those after a productivity app.
• Shareable - while no one at my office adopted it, the option to share tasks/progress was helpful.

• Simple to use
• Tons of uses
• Can be customized with themeing
• Can organize all your boards pretty much however you want

• Search Function - I consistently find it difficult to find old tasks where I don't immediately know the subject to which it belongs. I would appreciate more advanced search capabilities and a stronger search function in general.
• Message Feature - We just don't use this feature at our organization, because it's not very robust. We'd prefer more of a "chat" like function, with a pop-up window (something similar to Slack).

• It can be a little frustrating trying to line things up exactly right but that's probably more user error than anything

Whimsical is overall very easy to learn and remember. One issue with the usability occurs when you attempt to move connected boxes around the workspace. Frequently connections break or do not add easily, causing further disconnects. You can manually fix these issues, but it's a oprobem that seems would have an easy fix

I reached out to support, as I was interested in possibly investing in the organization, and they quickly and happily informed me they are a bootstrap organization and do not take on investors at this time. The swift response and information readily available for my consumption was extremely helpful and shows how solid the team behind it is.

azendoo is a different tool, meant for a different project type. While it's a good program on its own, Evernote ultimately had all I needed as a single employee/student is the only person within my workspaces. I did not need to network and as such, I did not find it applicable. Later down the road in a shared office, I might feel differently.

ClickUp's mind mapping tool was very basic and hard to use from my perspective. Whimsical was by far easier and did what I wanted for a SaaS/cloud-based mind mapping tool. Xmind is fine as a desktop app, but updating the app was a pain whereas, with Whimsical I don't have to worry about that. Also, I wanted to continue working on a mind map wherever I was, even if I didn't have my laptop or device with me and Whimsical allows me to do that.

• Azendoo has really been an advantage to our company because, thanks to its features that make communication much more feasible and direct, business productivity has increased.
• The support team is really very attentive so we have not had any problems left unsolved. That has prevented us from delays in project deliveries.

Incentivized

• We've been using free version, so it's a no brainer.
• As it helps us focus on the information organization process, we don't lose time redoing work due to the lack of planning before doing design or code.
• We can collaborate on the same project, so it's easier to get things done as we're working from home as well.
