productboard was used in the organization when I arrived, but after assessing productboard, I felt it was too lightweight for our ambitious product goals. It's also critical, especially in a startup, that we focus our limited capacity on the work that matters most. Aha! far and …
Miro doesn't compare, Miro is its own level\category. Miro is THE ONLY remote collaboration tool for our team because of the ease of use, features, and experience for multiple collaborators. We love Miro!
Miro is the better option because there is no sync issue and more tools within the whiteboard. Some of the templates in Aha seem too generic or difficult to customize. In order to make these come to life, there is a lot of preparation needed before visualizing with a business …
Miro excels in its simplicity - while Aha has a much more robust feature set when it comes to reporting and views, it is much easier for new team members to get up and running with Miro.
A box is a great tool for storing information. It is not designed well for meeting facilitation though it offers some functionality for collaborative space. Asana is another great tool for managing tasks and projects, but when it comes to collaboration, it has many limitations. …
Of course, Above maintained products are not Replacing the Miro and they are solving different problems for us, but there are also a lot of similarities between the products. like Prototyping or collaborating through Figma Boards
Each one is unique in its own way. Ex: AHA for vision and road map and Confluence for Sharing any information and creating content. But MIRO does both in a single tool. and the Best part is the Autosave feature and instant updates of any changes and Real-time collaboration. …
It is great for organizations that want to ensure that the work they focus on is the work that will have the most impact on value and drive them toward their strategic objectives. I consider it to be a real Product Management tool. If all you are looking for is a tool to hold your product backlog or collect customer feedback, then Aha! is probably going to be overkill for your needs
Miro is great for both collaborative use cases and personal information bases. I really appreciate being able to work asynch with my team and have them utilize something like a voice track to explain their thought process or use case for the content they add to a board-- it also helps cut down on the time needed to communicate changes that different team members desire. It's amazing to be able to integrate other tools such as documentation on Confluence or have Jira tickets directly linked in product roadmaps or process flows. We use Miro for everything from showing the intersections between different teams and their responsibilities to complex quarterly planning and UX research involving 5+ departments. However, it's less appropriate if you need to use a complex variety of shapes or want to adjust design elements in a detailed way. For example, the rounded square could really benefit from being able to change the degree of roundness in the corners, but sadly it's not an option
Aha! is an all around product management suite. It is great for breaking product plans into initiatives, features, and user stories. This helps the organization understand the product plan and what is driving individual work items. Unlike Jira and project management tools, it helps you prioritize by major themes, features, and releases. Once you start to use it, you can't go back to a project management tool because the views for organizing and prioritizing features just isn't there.
Aha! also excels at idea management. You can create a portal for users to submit ideas and manage them through a workflow. Users can submit ideas through a variety of channels, including email, ZenDesk, and SalesForce. You can even attach account values to an idea submitted through SalesForce, though the UI in SalesForce is a little kludgy. This is a great feature for those that have the capacity to manage feedback this way, but be aware that it takes time to manage.
Aha! works pretty well with Jira so that project managers can have their backlog that is understandable to the business and engineering can break down those work items however they want.
Aha! also has a lot of useful integrations: Slack, ZenDesk, Zapier, etc. It also integrates with every major software project management tool on the market: Jira, Pivotal, Rally, Redmine, and TFS.
Miro shares and tracks changes among my students extremely well.
It's awesome to be able to "bring everyone to me" while teaching. With this feature, I can make changes on my laptop while teaching, and my interactive whiteboard in front of the class will follow my changes in real-time.
I like being able to see where on the board each of my students is working or reading to see where their attention is focused.
Often, too often, the dictionary window pops up when I am trying to move or interact with content. (frequent low level frustration)
The limit on text character content seems artificial and is frequently problematic. I can see limiting image and file sizes for memory space conservation but text limits seem arbitrary and way to low.
I wish text and table content were more easily copy/pasted (or imported/exported) into other programs without funky spacing and bullet issues. Since Miro is so central to workflow on many parts of a project there is lots of back and forth of content and having better seamlessness wound be great.
We do most everything manually and rarely use any templates or AI clustering and themes, etc. The few times ive tried it had mixed results so ... I'm sure that tech is improving often.
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.
If you have the time and resources there really isn't anything you can't get Aha! to do for you in regards to managing workflow and releases. The Prioritization features are top of its class, the dashboards are getting better and better every day and the team all seem to really enjoy using it to manage their workloads.
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.
When we signed up for Aha!, we were assigned an Aha! team members to help us with training/questions. The meeting was set weekly, and it exponentially helped with our familiarity with Aha! Support is beneficial and has a lot of experience working with product teams.
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.
There was a series of webinars which Miro hosted with our organization that went over the basics, then progressively became more advanced with additional sections. The instructors were knowledgeable, and provided examples throughout the sessions, as well as answered peoples' questions. There was ample time and experience on the calls to cover a range of topics. The instructors were also very friendly and sociable, as well as honest. Of course Miro isn't a "God-tool" that does absolutely everything, but the instructors were aware and emphasized the strengths where Miro had them and sincerely accepted feedback.
From an enterprise behind the scenes perspective, our implementation was fairly smooth. We have identified some pain points based on Miro's use of emails for user IDs as people's emails may change (marriage, divorce, etc.) and when we update that on our end, it doesn't track through to Miro's SSO and license assignment. From the perspective of user adoption, I would have loved to see more people jump on board right away, but our staff needed to see benefits on projects and that is growing so our adoptions rate is as well.
In terms of outright features, a lot of roadmapping tools have the same feature set. We chose Aha! based on look-and-feel, the easy learning curve, and the reviews it has. Between collaboration, milestone tracking, comment threads, and content importing and exporting, we had every feature in Aha! that we were looking for.
I have not encountered anything like Miro. I wouldn't want to use anything but Miro. I used Mind Map once and it was static, and formulaic. Mind map was too restrictive for me to want to use. It did not allow me to be creative like Miro. I chose Miro because it was intuitive, it augmented my physical whiteboard, and I realized I didn't have to photograph my physical white board to capture and present content.
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.
It has helped us improve our product lifecycle communication. We have less wasted time spent figuring out where the project is and what it's waiting on. This has helped departments further down the project better use their time so they're already aligned with what's happening rather than waiting for a handoff.
Aha! has helped include our customers more in our product planning and especially in our bug fixes and new feature roadmaps.
Aha! has improved our strategy meetings or roundup discussions by storing everything in one place. They're shorter and more focused.
