More and more competitors, agencies, start-ups, tech companies are using Figma instead of Adobe XD or Sketch so our company is trying to get licenses of Figma in addition to Adobe XD. At a large company like us, we already have an Adobe Creative Cloud license so it makes sense …
I feel that Miro is more user-friendly than those products. And Miro has a lot more tools available for a cheaper price. Also the help/learning center has better information than Figma and Adobe XD.
Miro helps me and my team more in the initial phases of a project. I do not like drawing freehand, so I prefer Miro over InVision. Figma and Adobe XD I only utilize towards the end of the project when prototyping begins.
Figma - Miro is easier to learn than Figma. I dont have much experience with Figjam Adobe XD - i dont even use this anymore. Not a great product. Not easy to collaborate Lucid - I've used lucid chart before. Its easier to developers to use, but the overall tool has less …
Miro was selected for us by our organization, so I didn't really have a choice. I would say Miro is like all the best components (or nearly the best) of the other applications all wrapped up in one.
Working with Miro is much easier. When I am using Miro, I dont have to thing about where to save documents. I dont need to think twice about sharing with colleagues. All the other tools have their advantages and disadvantages. When working with other tools, you need to think …
Miro is the best for collaboration because it’s super fast, can host lots of people, and automatically captures feedback I can share in a single link, or specific links to specific art boards
Miro stands out as a brainstorming and collaboration tool that supports cross collaboration and multiple inputs exceptionally well. It is especially good at providing templates to accelerate kick offs and diagraming logic with smart, connectors.
I like Miro's keyboard shortcuts a lot more than Mural. Mural and Google Jamboard have much more limited space than Mural. I like the look of Mural's post it's, they look more like basic shapes in Mural. I like that the background style is different than the frame making it …
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.
Miro has more variety of tools and functions, so it gives more possibilities to users for doing different tasks and has a lot of information organized. On the other hand, Figma works well only for simple ideation sessions where the team only has to have simple interactions and …
Miro is easy to access online (doesn't have to download), has the exact function I need with well-built templates (calendar), and easily allows my manager to view my progress and calendar. It just seemed like the easiest thing that had all the aspects I needed, and I've had no …
While all the other programs that I use are more design-focused, a user can just as easily create the diagrams and outputs you would create in Miro. However, Miro is a more streamlined program that caters to users that are less designed and focused and are more worried about …
I used MURAL in another country, it was a little more complicated to use, and the most annoying things was that I had to ask my superior to have more space in my board ! It was more difficult to onboard a user in the product.
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 …
Adobe XD is particularly useful and extremely easy to learn if you are a designer or a frequent user of the Adobe Creative Suite. Like all Adobe software, the tools, shortcuts, and interface are very similar to each other and allow for easy migration. Now, if you are not a frequent user of Adobe, it will probably cost a bit more to learn how to use the software, plus it is probably not going to be worth the price just for Adobe XD.
Miro's infinite canvas and sticky notes functionality make it ideal for brainstorming ideas, contributing thoughts and organizing them visually in real-time.Software teams use Miro to manage sprints, backlogs, and stand-ups, visualizing tasks and progress. We use it for sprint planning, retrospectives, and kanban boards.Miro is well suited for user journey maps, facilitating collaboration between designers, product managers, and developers.We've also used it for strategy planning and workshops: mapping out strategies, SWOT analysis, and plan projects. It's useful for visualizing goals, actions, and timelines.Also, we use it to organize research findings, synthesize user insights, and map out data visually, helping in the analysis and decision-making process. Less appropriate scenarios for Miro include working with Text Documents; doing High-Fidelity Prototyping and interactive prototypes that require detailed user interactions; and working with large datasets & calculations. We don't use Miro to replace the polished, slide-based presentations created in PowerPoint. Also, we need to be very careful with confidential information.
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.
Probably our instance of Miro, our security reqs: repeated need to sign in. Blerg.
I like rectangular stickies - but Miro defaults to square. Let me set my default.
Layers - I wish I could more easily have something below my stickies - yes - can do with locking but if you have to change your locked material, it's a pain.
We utilize many of the applications in the Adobe CC suite and our usage of this application came about simply because it was the one that was already paid for. Bearing that in mind we will definitely be renewing the software upon the expiration of the licensing. I am not sure if this is the solution we would go with were it not already included, we would have to evaluate all other options
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.
Very easy to use even for novice software users. A lot of the functionality is ubiquitous among the different software applications so the learning curve is relatively small. The biggest limitation may be someone's creativity or lack of it. There are some functional limitations but my understanding is that reviews come out fast and furious
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.
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.
I have not had a need to connect with the Adobe XD support team as of yet, but from past experience when dealing with the other products, the support has been very very good, and I would have no reason to think that this product would be any different. There are a good number of training videos on the Adobe site for this product as well as on other social media sites so a quick search should let you find the answers in several different ways.
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.
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.
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.
While I have used Zeplin, InVision, and Adobe XD on various projects, partly dependent on in-house client teams preferences, Adobe XD is the most familiar to me based on 20+ years [of] working within Adobe applications. They all can do most of what I am looking to do within their toolset, from what I can tell, but jumping from Photoshop to create raster images and to Illustrator for my vectors, it is very second nature then to bring those right into XD to layout, basically as a digital experience analogy to InDesign. The fact that Adobe XD is already there in Creative Suite makes it very hard to consider any other product since it works well with what I do.
I find Miro to be a superior tool, other tools I have used became unresponsive or too slow to be effective in the roles and jobs I needed them to do. I am currently working in a Miro board with over 1000 discrete elements and it loads fast, I can maneuver and work with the material in real time without the board lagging to keep up. When working with a tool like this, it's important the tool itself doesn't become an obstruction to getting the work done. With Miro, I've never had to worry about that
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.
Ease of use means we are up and running in no time.
Integrates and is a part of the Adobe CC platform (which we already subscribe to) so there was no additional cost.
Online proofing and developer handoff links are the icing on the cake. Keeps everything in one place.
Handles all our assets (mostly created in Illustrator) like a dream. Even imports native Photoshop docs, too, so that saves us so much time round tripping.
