Their Pitch

The full picture, finally in one place.

Our Take

It's a giant secure whiteboard where government teams dump files, videos, and intel to work together without breaking DoD compliance rules. Think Miro but for people who need Top Secret clearance.

Deep Dive & Reality Check

Used For

  • +**Your intel team emails classified PDFs and loses context between meetings** → Everything lives on one persistent canvas, pick up exactly where you left off
  • +**Command centers can't sync everyone's view during live incidents** → Auto-follow mode means 50 people see the same zoom level and annotations in real-time
  • +**Security analysts piece together timelines from scattered video files** → Drag in footage, play frame-by-frame synchronized so everyone sees the exact same timestamp
  • +Connects to other government systems automatically - pulls in geo-data or case files without manual uploads
  • +Air-gapped deployment option - works completely offline for the most sensitive operations

Best For

  • >Defense contractors juggling classified intel across multiple agencies
  • >Command centers that need everyone staring at the same live video feeds
  • >Government teams tired of emailing PDFs back and forth like it's 2003

Not For

  • -Small businesses or startups — this is enterprise-only pricing for government compliance you don't need
  • -Teams wanting simple brainstorming — you're paying for DoD security features to draw sticky notes
  • -Anyone hoping for public pricing — everything is custom sales calls with government procurement processes

Pairs With

  • *Jira (where your security tickets live but visualization happens in Bluescape)
  • *Box (to pull classified files into the canvas without breaking compliance)
  • *Amazon Chime (for video calls while everyone annotates the same intel documents)
  • *Adobe Illustrator (when your storyboards need professional graphics beyond basic whiteboard tools)
  • *Workfront (for project management while the actual planning happens visually)
  • *OneDrive (government version - to sync files that analysts then drag into shared workspaces)
  • *Custom C2 systems (connects to military command systems for real-time data feeds)

The Catch

  • !No public pricing means you're in for months-long government sales cycles with zero cost transparency
  • !Designed specifically for defense/intel work — overkill if you just need basic team collaboration
  • !The learning curve isn't the interface, it's navigating FedRAMP compliance and security protocols

Bottom Line

The only whiteboard that won't get you fired for violating federal security requirements.
