Beautiful whiteboard for teams

Rating: 8 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We needed a simple yet powerful tool to bring all of our teachers on the same page. I took interest in Allo when I saw its Daily Standup template and I thought it is a great solution for our online Weekly Huddle meetings. Some of our teachers are experts at using modern technology but some just get by. However, all of them understand one thing: the whiteboard. Allo enables us to use the familiarity of this centerpiece of the classroom to present ideas, challenges, and problems in an intuitive and digital way.

Pros

  • team's report at Weekly Huddle
  • designing new teaching aids
  • collaboration on writing textbooks

Cons

  • more views for projects
  • more templates
  • task management options inside a canvas (deadlines, recurring etc)

Likelihood to Recommend

Allo is ideal for brainstorming, designing, and presenting information in a remote company. With its easy-to-use tools and modern, minimalistic, and non-intrusive interface these kinds of tasks can be done in Allo beautifully. However, it was difficult for us to have a detailed project schedule (with automatic reminders for tasks and subtasks). To sum up, Allo is a perfect digital paper canvas but currently, it lacks automation features.

A visually appealing and helpful visual collaboration tool!

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are constantly sharing documents on Slack and it's becoming a huge issue to keep it all organized per project. We make use of Allo to make boards for each project now and then upload all of our documents there. It keeps things organized and clean and much easier to pull out what we need at a moment's notice.

Pros

  • Ease of us
  • Visually appealing
  • Clean design

Cons

  • A lower cost
  • Customizations for companies
  • Easier management of multiple users

Likelihood to Recommend

Allo is extremely well suited for companies that share lots of internal documents and assets that could easily be grouped into boxes. We manage several projects so it makes sense for us to condense all of our documents that various team needs, by team and department with our clients.
