We actually do use monday.com in conjunction with Miro (thanks to the free Miro integration). monday.com has its own strengths. It is a very flexible project/task manager. Visually, however, Miro wins in this area. I am actually using both in a project that I'm working on …
The whiteboard workspace is a game changer as it allows many team members to work seamlessly together without anyone working as a silo. monday.com was a good resource for organization and tracking of info (something Miro could do better) but the work sharing opportunity is a …
Miro stands out to be the best and easiest collaboration tool. Since we started using it, we have experienced a huge impact since it helps us manage, organize and collaborate on ideas.

Chose Miro
We selected Miro because it is really simple to use and it is accessible through a link with a login. I love the whiteboard feel that resembles how we used to work when work meant being in person. A lot of the other tools have more of a specific role in a project where Miro can …
There are certain things that Miro can do that these other platforms simply cannot. Bottom line. Miro is the most elite visualization software for program and product management. While other products offer Miro-like services or features, they do not measure up. Miro has the …
Miro is a lot easier to jump in for newbies to quickly create, design and draft up white boards workflows and on-going tasks for our whole team to see. Compared to the other tools I've tested, Miro seems a bit more intuitive and less complex to do simple tasks.
Compared to other alternatives out there, Miro has a very friendly and intuitive interface making it easy to learn and understand. Also, it is cost effective making it affordable to all sizes of companies.
I really love that consolidation of various tools, boards and capabilities within Miro. When first introduced to Miro I recall it supported a small list of tools/boards, and it's great to see it's getting more expandable, innovative while keeping its core foundations and easy …
The whiteboard from Microsoft Teams is not as responsive and it causes issues when multiple members are editing the same e.g. sticky notes simultaneously
Miro is almost similar to Figjam, but Figjam mostly restricted invites and accounts. Common people from other departments more comfortable using Miro but the cons are we need to screenshot or upload the new image to see the wireframe, I wish I could bring in without needing …
Lucidchart is good for collaboration in a graphical space. But it is a little harder to share with others and the tools are less intuitive. Miro loads really fast and the zoom features make navigating the large space more manageable.
Cost was very reasonable, the web-based platform makes it easier to get up and running without requiring software installs and approvals, multi-facted tool that does more than one job, range of templates for different applications, great onboarding and help material provided so …
Miro was the current tool I came into my team using but I have tried other whiteboarding tools (I can't recall the specific name - mural, I think). I feel most comfortable with Miro and it is widely used by lots of teams which helps.
Even if we have jamboard as part of our google package, miro always stands out when it comes to user experience, performance and features. Using miro, is more interactive and fluid which allows new users to quickly get used to the tool and contribute to the board in the most …
We were using Milanote previously at it worked well when we were in the office as we used Milanote mostly for mood board/inspiration/idea collation. Miro really stood out with its real-time collaboration features, especially its integration with Microsoft Teams, where people …
The interface really simulates physical boards which makes it intuitive and there is no need for endless training on how to use the tool. It supports many differnet formats, can be exported in differnet formats and can be integrated with many different apps (including Microsoft …
Miro is simpler to navigate through the board, and zoom in/out capabilities are better. I think Miro has the exact amount of features, it is good in providing value and tools to collaborate while still keeping it simple
Actually, monday.com and Trello, although they are digital board systems, are both very different from each other. Trello is a simpler system that, although its function is also the organization of tasks, its visual system gradually overwhelms the user by "piling up" each post …
Miro is perfect if you need to either present an idea, or workshop ways of getting to alignment. It's pretty magic for all of that. Miro is less perfect than FigJam if you're just interrogating a Figma UI and you want to make direct edits.
Prior to monday.com, we were using Trello as our team task management tool. What monday.com has allowed us to do is to easily create sub levels to tasks, create multiple stages for each task and to easily assign people to different tasks in a way that is visually appealing and easy to understand.
Exceptional templates help me get started quickly with almost any type of whiteboarding, creating consistency where needed and extreme variety when also needed.
Having multiple active users on the same board happens so smoothly. It's easy to get people on the board and updating objects simultaneously without weird conflicts is amazing.
The amount of objects & tools Miro provides allows us to create very specific and detailed artifacts.
Automation/integrations - Choosing from template automation or creating your own, integrate across platforms.
Dashboards - Different views i.e. kanban, gantt chart, tables, forms.
All info in one place - Add all of the necessary files for each task inside of Monday; don't need to go looking for ages in different folders on our internal system, add comments, and add assignees to each task—very content-rich way of presenting information.
Sometimes the text inside sticky notes is very small, it's hard to read.
It would be great to preserve the board layout and functionality when offline, such as when taking a flight. Load the board before the flight, keep working during the flight, then update it when the connection gets restored, instead of losing sync and functionality when internet connectivity is not available.
It would be helpful to denote progress on a board with some sort of recommended flow. Instead of having to depend on the user adding new inputs to the right of previous work, if Miro detects inputs to the board happening to the left or above existing work, ask if you'd like to add it to the right.
Also, it could be that you could replay a "video" or animation of the board (zoomed out) showing the order in which content has been added to the board over time.
Ensuring I have set up a Private board vs public board is not clear - it would be useful to have an additional alert when creating a board as I work with sensitive information. It will eventually be used in a team based environment but while I test the boards, they needs to be private.
Time tracking is clumsy, could be easier to record
There is no other tool like Miro for process Mapping in particular. I've tried PowerPoint, Word, and other programs, but when collaborating virtually on how to improve a process, Miro has all of the tools and more to enable successful mapping. The colors, different types of shapes and text books, along with the ability to integrate different documents and other functionality, make it ideal for this purpose. In a virtual world, it's a must-have.
Teams involved in content creation, such as marketing or editorial teams, could use monday.com to manage the entire content lifecycle. Boards might track content ideas, assignments, drafts, reviews, approvals, and publication schedules, helping teams collaborate and keep content production on track.
It's pretty easy to use. My gripes are with some small idiosyncrasies with selection behavior with objects and editing text. When I move an object, it automatically de-selects it when I am not done with it. I have to click to select again. Text control is challenging and could be improved. It could use a little more styling capability. It's also weird that it behaves differently in a shape then when using the text tool.
On the surface, monday.com looks easy to use - it is indeed easier to use than almost all competing products. (There is one exception where they are on par.) But, I've come across so many organisations that start well with monday.com and then struggle because of the disorganised mess that is created. You have to have clear frameworks *before* you adopt monday.com as the ones that come out of the box are too simplistic for the average organisation. Otherwise, you need a system owner internally who can guide and help the organisation with monday.com adoption. At our organisation we have both.
I only give a 9/10 because of the speed at which it loads. I have never experienced issues with Miro logging me out early, or some other technical issue causing the program to crash, or even it just loading in perpetuity without ever actually coming up (unlike other programs such as SFDC). It take a minute for all of my boards to come up after I click on it in my favorites, but besides that, it's all good.
I took the loading quickly to be related to availability which I commented on before, so ditto with those comment on load time here. Although to reemphasize, Miro doesn't crash or just refuse to load like some other programs. The weak point of Miro for me is integration of files like Word, Excel, or PowerPoint (especially the later two). When you embed these, it gets slow, and complicated to bring them up while you're in the application.
Everything performs fairly well. Every now and then there are user errors where an employee will not click "ok" on a note they've created and simply exit out (I do wish that something was in place to prevent this, such as a pop "are you finished?")
The support staff at Miro are fantastic. Whenever I have had an issue, they have been timely and helpful with their response. They are also very knowledgeable and go out of their way to not only help, but offer proactive training sessions on different topics and new functionality so everyone can try it out.
I used this capability last week for the first time and scheduled a call. Michael was so helpful. He listened to what I was wanting to accomplish and got back to me within a few hours with a screen recording of different options. I had one question on one of the options and when I replied, I got a new person that wanted to set up a call. I declined because that would be like starting all the way over with what I'm wanting and what he presented to me. I think if we have follow-up questions, we should be able to ask them to the same person we just worked with.
Superb. very well explained videos. Really helps get the knowledge up on the product. The slides are divided into the topics of usage. I have enjoyed following and implementing all of these slides. The videos are well explained and it is easy to follow. There are tutorials that you can take yourself later. It would be nice however if more training modules were added.
To have someone walk you thru the features and capabilities of Monday.com is priceless. Someone also coming along later in the contract to see if you are maximizing the program to suit your company needs is beyond helpful. The staff that have provided this training are fun, creative and very patient.
It was and still is a challenge to get our IT folks at 3M to support the tool. Single sign on still not implemented. I now have Miro on my personal computer. I had a few hardware issues, but nothing major.
We signed up for the accounts. Created the accounts. Ran the trial version and tested it live while we were running multiple projects and found that it was fitting our needs perfectly. When the trial ended and we were asked to purchase the full version, we did. We have found other ways to use it and it's a breeze.
In many cases the other tools did a single thing better than Miro but overall Miro better solved all our needs. In some cases, like FigJam the hurdle was licensing. Teams just doesn't have an awesome set of features. MindMap is good for what it is but not so good for other uses. Mural is excellent...just not as good.
Airtable served us well for data management. However, our senior management told us Project Managers we would no longer be using Airtable. monday.com serves us well with project management AND light-weight database usage. Workfront served we Project Managers very well. However, Workfront was never going to be accepted by our non-Project Managers for managing their projects. monday.com's ease of use and colorful UI build adoption among our non-PMs
Miro is great for scaling. In every department and subdivision across my entire organization, there is someone using it. From Sales to marketing, to manufacturing and operations; and even in legal and finance, there isn't a process or a department that is not using Miro, and if they aren't, they're missing out! Even at the highest to the lowest levels of the organization, it is essential for virtual collaboration.
For it to work across multiple departments and sites, I would like to see improvements made with integrations and automation. For this question, I am acknowledging not only the addition of internal triggers/automation, but also an expansion on external ones.
My favourite example? We used it to take a failed start-up, one where the prime investor was considering pulling out - to being a listed business (EURONEXT) within 18 months. That business now has a market cap at around $200m.
Turnaround of a struggling health tech venture that was buried under endless spreadsheets by its investors - from loss-making to £2M EBITDA in two -years.
Offshoring - Through the adoption of Monday as a key workstream management tool (moving off JIRA) we were able to reduce resource costs by over £2m per annum, without any change in efficiency or quality.
