FigJam is a collaborative tool mainly used for brainstorming purposes. It is an easy-to-use platform that allows anyone to contribute to our projects. The most important thing is the interface, which makes things easy for anyone, even team members with little in common with the digital world.
Pros
Easy to use interface.
Clearly defined features.
Collaborative space that works well with design environment.
Cons
I always get the impression that it is "heavier" than other solutions of this kind (e.g., Miro).
Likelihood to Recommend
It works best when accompanied by Figma, where you design the solutions the stakeholders expect. In that case, you can have all materials in one place/application without moving back and forth between the browser and the app. However, it depends on the environment used in the organization. If a company uses a different environment, they won't be interested in getting into a new one, although it's similar.

We use it to sketch workflows of information, as well as wireframes for our UX
Pros
Workflows
Wireframes
UI
UX
Cons
It misses easy-to-use pre sets of diagrams. The ones presented seem to be not native and hard to use. Miro is a good benchmark.
Navegating throught projects in the main page is confusing, specially when people are not admin users.
It should suggest ways of organizing the pages designers do, specially when the project is big and have many pages and sections.
It could have, for example, a draft version for every page, so that one can hide it when they finish the work, but can open it whenever something needs to be modified, versioning the job.
Likelihood to Recommend
It is well suited when people use it to sketch the first wireframes of the UX, like the Breadboarding technique from Basecamp. I used to work like that when modifying some UX. Our designers used to sketch over our current experience wireframe, and then we could discuss it by using the comments in Figjam or the Call feature at FigJam. That made it easy to discuss it. When building up group boards to discuss ideas, I use Miro, once it has more native pre-sets that help conducts the discussion.
