Bluescape

Bluescape's standout capability is its infinite, persistent workspace combined with multimedia inking abilities. We map thematic pillars across a vast canvas, populate dedicated spaces for each initiative, and draft creative visuals, unifying our entire process on one unified surface. Bluescape transcends solo ideation with its multi-user functionality. Our whole team works together to create things. We make boards with ideas, add notes to pictures, and look at designs, this makes us work faster.

I like Bluescape because it helps us think in new ways. When we plan, we get excited. We talk about ideas and make them. Each inspired concept comes from our collective work. Bluescape helps us create social narratives.

What do you dislike most about this product?

As workspaces change, we need better ways to move between spaces. Hierarchical navigation or powerful searches could help.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

As the leader of my team in social media, our greatest asset is our team's diversity. But siloed ideation often stopped our ideas from working together. With Bluescape, our skills mix together, and we can all influence the work. Bluescape is the result of our ideas working together.

What differentiates Bluescape from other similar products?

- Other Products do not have seamless/inbuilt video and conferencing options - Content interactions with the audience have much more options. You are able to annotate, comment and track documents and videos also, something a competitor like Miro lacks (at least from what I've seen) - Didn't look much in to it back when in the day, but apparently security integrations are top of the line compared to other similar products

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

As a developer at the time, my favourite was working with the REST API to manage role based access to the workspace. API was easy to understand, and I didn't hit much rate limits or concurrency problems.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The UI can lag at times, and not due to network performance

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

- Evaluate security needs: Apparently, Bluescape has enterprise-grade security which could be a very good option to leverage, if you have the budget/need for it - Usage needs: Although the UI is intuitive, there can be a lot going on at one time with collaborators. This may present a learning curve. Consider this if you are planning to adopt. - Performance needs: Start with a small group to analyse whether the laggy UI is bearable/reliable for you and your organisation or not

What differentiates Bluescape from other similar products?

Never used anything before other than Teams, Zoom (no comparison but sort of alternate to an extent)

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

collaboration tool, and allows users to share the canvas and the workspace simultaneously, and also allows voice or video communication.

What do you dislike most about this product?

They often appear blurry and aliased. It makes them difficult to reference without taking snapshots of every section you're talking about. here is also a login glitch which blocks you from accessing your workspaces temporarily

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

digital version of a pin-up space is absolutely an improvement to my workflow. The input is so robust. What you do with it is where the magic happens. This program is best suited for team collaboration. It helps to discuss how/where the team will contribute information to it--whether that is discussing the templates or a plan of action. Otherwise, the workspace can tend to get messy. I like the idea of having a presentation mode, where some of the markups could be hidden. The idea of a working session with consultants or clients sounds appealing, but at the same time, there is a desire for a cleaned up, clear share-out.
