This is a participatory instrument that enables team meetings and helps teams conduct meetings in a positive way during a pandemic. It also helped me share data with my team faster. And it's much easier to use and cheaper. Real-time changes are shown when someone makes a comment. The best part of working from home as we can collaborate as if we were in the same office
Conceptboard is an excellent visual collaboration tool (virtual whiteboard) that allows our remote team to brainstorm together! I specifically have used it for brainstorming and roadmap/touchpoint planning. It's simple but extremely easy to use and navigate.
Working within a remote team in a marketing department – we have created quarterly plans, website touchpoint maps, and content brainstorms in Conceptboard.
Pros
Colorful and engaging collaboration
Easy to use
Creative freedom
Great Miro competitor
Cons
The visual tools are still fairly basic
It can be laggy when too many users are engaging
Limited colors have occasionally caused repeats

I have found Conceptboard to be well suited for basic brainstorms and planning. I have led content outlines, quarterly planning, journey mapping, and brainstorming in Conceptboard.
I have found anything that requires complex planning, like UX design mapping, to require a tool that has more complex capabilities like Figma. I also found that Conceptboard didn't work well for things like Gantt Charts.
Conceptboard is one of our organization's go-to tools when it comes to collaboration, brainstorming, ideation, and concept writing. It has helped a lot given no on-site work yet (the company is a hybrid setup, which usually makes it hard for brainstorming sessions), as it aids during online meetings. It is especially useful for my function/department as our team, being under the company's consumer insights division, leads sessions involving these.
Pros
Great user interface that's very intuitive and easy to use. This is an important aspect of collaboration, brainstorming sessions often involve a lot of people coming from different functions who may not be too familiar with these tools
Allows users to see real-time changes and actions done by others from sticky notes/comments down to their cursor movements
Lets users add/attach files and annotate/comment on each directly on the board which skips the hassle of having to look at files using different programs/platforms and referencing on the board
Cons
Would be great if Conceptboard can add more templates and more flexibility for customization
Setting a larger file size limit for attachments would also be good as sometimes, files won't attach which I assume would have something to do with file size
Perhaps adding a group chat feature would also be useful so that users need not switch to other messaging apps while working on the board
Likelihood to Recommend
Conceptboard is useful in collaboration, brainstorming, ideation, and concept writing. These activities are especially useful for my function under the Consumer Insights division as we do a lot of these sessions that engage several people from different departments to be able to come up with good ideas, concepts, products, and strategies. I honestly can't think of scenarios where this tool would be less appropriate.
