What do you like best?
The interface is very intuitive and takes much of the hassle of basic formatting and design out of the equation. In other software, I spend as much time getting the wireframe or flow chart to look as "pretty" as I do getting my thoughts on the screen. Whimsical removes much of the painful formatting work and allows me to focus on truly value-added tasks in building wireframes and flow charts.
What do you dislike?Documentation sharing and collaboration isn't very intuitive. Some times the copy/paste of images out of Whimsical can be a bit wonky. By and large, these are small downsides to an overall great software.
Recommendations to others considering the product:If you flow chart and wireframe often, it is a spot-on tool. Great price for the value. It blows any other tools for similar use cases out of the water.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?It is helpful from a product management and process flow standpoint. This has accelerated our ability to institute process, complete frontend designs, and provide documentation to our customers.
What do you like best?
It is very easy to create product map, flowcharst and wireframes
What do you dislike?i like all the features. the support team replyes very fast
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?I'm creating a lot of maps here

What do you like best?
Wireframing in Whimsical is such a pleasure. I find myself just quickly mocking up ideas just because
What do you dislike?It can get a bit slow when working with a lot of images
Recommendations to others considering the product:If you need to make wireframes for a living -- use whimsical.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?I'm a UX Designer and I used to do Wireframes directly in my design tool (a mix of Sketch, Figma and Framer) -- But Whimsical is so easy and focused on just wireframes that it's like drawing on paper
What do you like best?
Whimsical is a great tool which we can not stop using at work. Whimsical is perfect when you need to sketch quick and dirty user flows, diagrams and mind maps and all you care about is the speed at which you can produce it. never the less, whimsical also features few customisation and styling options which most of the times are just right to give the artefact a nice look. Collaborative working and comments are a great plus. overall I'm quite satisfied.
What do you dislike?Whimsical could improve the styling options. although I think they are ok , i still think that a little improvement on colours, wrights and fonts would go a long way. Also I think that whimsical should add more templates to its product portfolio, as the competitors are doing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:Whimsical is honestly great because of its ease of use. there is no learning curve. it is like you have used it for ages from day one. on top of this, it is also collaborative so you can be even more efficient with visuals that would otherwise take up a lot more time to produce. Free trial too is a great opportunity to experiment with whimsical and check how to best integrate it with the current workflow in your company.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?Whimsical help me get the point across and quickly visualise flows, complex information and relationships so that i can better communicate with colleagues and clients.

What don't I like?! The prototyping is amazing. The sticky notes, the flowcharts, the mind maps--I literally use it all! It's also been incredible in setting up and running my very first 100% remote design sprint, and I've been able to guide the team solely in this product. That's REALLY powerful! I am so impressed. Also love that you can copy and paste elements from different file types into one another. It's so fluid and intuitive. I have not one bad thing to say. I'd recommend it to anyone!
What do you dislike?Nothing I dislike, but perhaps one recommendation would be to allow layered file exports into programs like Figma. That would be AMAZINGGGGG!
Recommendations to others considering the product:Definitely try it! I can nearly guarantee you'll love it.
