Common complaints - recurring incumbent review gaps = the wedge to build
Expensive pricing, limited free plans18×
Subscription costs are prohibitively high; free tier restricted to 3 whiteboards/dashboards, pushing users to paid plans for basic use.
Performance lag on large boards15×
Platform slows down, becomes unresponsive, and feels 'heavy' when boards fill with content or multiple users collaborate simultaneously.
Steep learning curve, confusing interface14×
Too many features and menus overwhelm newcomers; navigation is unintuitive; takes time to become productive with the tool.
Difficult file import, export & integration12×
Importing files causes sizing/orientation issues; limited export formats; poor integration with Microsoft Office and other apps.
Complex sharing and permission management8×
Sharing workflows are unclear and cumbersome; permission settings require multiple steps; collaborators outside org struggle.
Limited template library and customization7×
Few ready-made templates compared to competitors (e.g., Miro's Miroverse); templates are corporate-focused, lacking variety.
Bugs, crashes, and data loss issues8×
Frequent glitches, work disappearing, crashes, slow loading, and unresponsive behavior; reliability concerns.
Weak community and knowledge resources5×
No facilitator cheat sheets or quickstart guides; small user community; lack of educational/specialized templates.
