I tried a bunch of different options when my team went remote, including

* Google Drawings (yuck)

* LucidChart (yuck)

* Miro (good for diagrams, not for drawing)

* Jamboard (good for drawing, not for diagrams)

And a few inputs including:

* Wacom pencil (ok)

* Inklet pen (garbage)

* iPad Pro (great)

So far Jamboard / iPad pro is the closest to a true whiteboard experience that I've found, but it's pretty restrictive that it's tightly coupled to the physicality of the actual Jamboard, and you can't pan/scroll the whiteboard space like a lot of the pure digital options.

It would be nice to have a single tool that worked both for sketching/drawing (a la whiteboarding), but also could upgrade well to actual diagrams / boxes if you want to promote a collaborative sketch to something more permanent (say you're drafting a design doc and you want to use the sketch as your diagram-of-record).

On my list to test is the ReMarkable's shared drawing mode, haven't got round to trying that yet.

What has worked really well for me running workshops and other things remotely is Mural[1] with an iPad Pro. I can open my screen and share it on my laptop / desktop. And open the same view on my iPad, then draw. This allows people that don't have an app to see what is going on, and people that do have the app, can interact with the same virtual board

This looks like my list with a few minor changes. The ipad pro + a board solution just isn't functional enough to justify rolling out to a team for me, at least if you don't have other functions for that tablet. Same with the fancy graphic tablets.
