Airtable is as powerful, if not more than these competitors. It has a simple interface like Asana or Trello but has robust data functions and tracking of Jira or ShotGrid (now called Flow). While I haven't found it as profoundly integrated as Jira, Airtable feels much more …
Miro has capabilities that other tools, such as Airtable and Google Sheets do not have. Miro allows for multiple people to "brainstorm" or workshop our issues in a very clear and organized way.
Miro is more user friendly than Smartsheet, and provides for a much more free-hand use and variety of expressions than all of the above. When it comes to project management and calendar or process management, Miro is less functional and the only advantage is really that it is …
I’ve used several tools similar to Miro, like Figma, FigJam, Framer, Notion, Airtable, and monday CRM. While these tools each have strengths, Miro stands out for its flexibility and visual appeal. For instance, compared to Notion, Miro’s visual canvas is much better suited for …
I find Miro to be more user-friendly than Figma, where we had a very steep learning curve trying to achieve real-time collaboration with both tech and non-tech users. I haven't personally spent a lot of time using that tool or others, however. At this point, I have a strong …
What sets Miro apart from its competitors, such as Mural and Canva, is its unique ability to work with highly detailed graphical representations while still maintaining a low threshold for new users. Also the version management and the desktop client (for MacOS) helped tipping …
Of all other solutions, Miro seems the most intuitive, the fastest, and the most stable. Rarely if ever crashes or has stability issues and we can get other teams that have never used it collaborating in it within 5 minutes of explanations (not additional meeting needed to talk …
We use a service called SyncSketch to make notes on videos. It's specifically created for synchronized playback of video files with the ability to annotate and draw on a specific frame.
Mural is not very intuitive (I used it last 4 years ago and never returned it). Also, with simple things like the look of arrows or diagrams, Miro always wins the aesthetic competition.
I like Figma conceptually, but it is a bit difficult to use as a non-designer. I love Miro for being able to throw blocks together, paste an image, and generally set up a mock design is awesome. It also makes it super easy to coordinate with our design team who then can take …
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 …
FigJam is superior when it comes to ease of use. I find small details like automatic colour choice and changes between text and background to really elevate the overall user experience. However, Miro does have an improved file navigation view which makes it easier to organise …
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 …
Overall, we feel Miro is hard to beat. Its extensive list of features covers major parts of a business process and its collaboration abilities are second to none. Furthermore, its transparency around security and reasonable pricing make it hard for us not to go for it.
I think all products have its pros and cons. I personally like Miro for its interface and ease-of-use, once you get to learn it. I also like the look and feel of Miro versus the other products. For new users, it does feel very overwhelming but it’s not too difficult to learn
Airtable is an ideal platform for small and growing businesses to keep track of just about EVERYTHING they need to keep things running smoothly. It's a great way to keep tasks organized, and keep everyone on the same page with progress on all things. Our company finds the kanban particularly useful, as products go through a lifecycle from ideation to retirement, it's good to keep a database of what is in production, what's working, and what we've tried before. I can see the platform being challenging with much larger businesses, but for the small to medium businesses I've used the platform with, it is ideal.
For me, Miro works best for messy internal processes. One of the instances include there are updates in math guidelines or reorganizing how topics should flow. I can put everything on the board, drag things around, color code it, and suddenly everything actually makes sense. It's also a common interacting space for the team to think out loud. Keeps everyone aligned without different documents floating around. It has a downside too. When the board gets big and full of screenshots or reference files, it slows down and I have to wait for things for so long.
Airtable has capabilities commonly found in spreadsheet applications, but also has some of the features found in databases.
The ability to filter fields. I set up a filter on the status field, so when a project is marked, complete, on hold, or canceled, that record is hidden from my current projects table view. If it is marked complete, the record is moved to the completed projects table view. In this way I can easily access a record of past projects
Being able to duplicate tables and create alternate views
Collapse and expand records. When I collapse the rows, I can easily scan current projects, next steps, project status, and due dates. When I expand the row, or field, I can see more detailed information about that field or record very easily. I can also expand or open the entire record. This is is helpful, when I am entering a lot of information to multiple fields in that record.
Sticky notes cannot be easily resized. It would often be useful for them to transform into workspaces, because they become actual text content rather than just notes.
Perhaps there is no option to sort the work boards according to specific criteria (such as alphabetical order or date).
The various functions available should perhaps be explained clearly with a tooltip or something similar while you are working with the various tools. I often don't realise that certain things can be done.
We will 10/10 renew the use of Airtable because it has brought great value to our team. Not only is Airtable affordable, but it's also user-friendly and helps our team be efficient. We no longer need to rely on Excel spreadsheets being passed from person to person via email. Furthermore, we aren't dealing with corrupt Excel spreadsheets and the need to salvage data when a file is accidentally altered.
I have advocate for the renew of Miro quite few times, however, it is not under my control as the decision is made in another team with their own budget. I would buy for my own entrepreneur projects (1-2 members) as I do know the value and work there 100%. So, I would pay out of my own pocket to get the value. However, If I wouldn't know the value it provides, it would be hard to decide with the current freemium features
IMO the usability of this product is its greatest asset. The UI is clean and the menus are intuitive to the point where I'd feel confident having a non-spreadsheety colleague take on building an Airtable for the first time with next to no training. I can't say that about every table-like software product that I've used such as Notion.
Solid usability, we transitioned from Mural, so some of it is a learning curve from what we were used to in the prior tool. As previously mentioned, the scrolling feature and moving around the board is not as intuitive as I would like. Outside of that, the functionality seems to mee the expectations we have for a collaboration tool
I have rarely experience downtime, compared to other tools, and given how much time we spend on the tool. Even if there were to be, their updates on it are very timely, and our support team are able to provide any questions regarding
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 never had any issues with load time, even with the integrations that we use today (google sheets) However, I'm curious if adding additional layers of integrations would slow down performance. We do carry quite a bit of data in Airtable, but, again, no impact on overall performance
Sometimes it gets quite slow and there is a correlation between this and the size of the board. Hence we are trying to segment the boards based on product stages or projects so that the size doesn't go big. When you go from discovery to delivery on a simple board, it will get large and difficult to load, even crash or go white screen
Airtable has great support. They have a variety of support features to answer any questions. They have great self teaching instructions for templates and product tours. They also have support for teams and project management. They also have a fantastic customer help line. They are able and willing to answer customer questions and never have customers waiting long
We have never reached out to or contacted support because Miro's platform has been incredibly intuitive and user-friendly. The comprehensive resources available, such as tutorials, documentation, and community forums, have provided all the guidance we needed. The seamless integration with our existing tools and the reliability of the platform have ensured that we rarely encounter issues that require external assistance. This self-sufficiency has allowed us to focus more on our projects and collaboration without interruptions. Overall, our experience with Miro has been smooth and efficient, eliminating the need for additional support
Recorded trainings were provided by the Airtable team. Great as an evergreen resources to new team members and for anyone that wants to refresh their Airtable knowledge
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.
Training all users was an important part of the implementation, which did take considerable time and effort. At first glance without training, the content calendar can be overwhelming because of the amount of data. The features within Airtable seem to be endless but our team was able to identify the most important to be successful.
Easy to learn, Miro has a series of videos on YouTube that effectively taught this program to my team members and me. The program is drag-and-drop and works excellently. People pick up on how to use it efficiently, and it's great for organizing ideas more freely. This product is more challenging for some older audiences who are not accustomed to using a touchpad, but for most, it was very easy to use.
Airtable was a really good fit for this specific use case as it provided a huge number of collaboration features in an intuitive and pleasant-to-use interface. The free tier worked initially with our work, and the upgrade pathway was fair and made sense for us.
While not as feature rich to be honest as some of these focused tools, it still replaces a vast majority of them. It is enough to make it easily replace the listed tools if you wish to do so. This not only saves time pivoting between tools, but also money with licensing which is an easy sell to my management.
There are TONS of opportunity to scale, but I think it's a matter if you have the time and resources to do so because the initial setup can be fairly time consuming and prioritized dedication
Maybe is possible now so... Could be useful to manage in some way source code for the projects? not to edit so when we make solutions with different components in MIro, maybe each component could redirect to the source code of this component
Through this platform, I always have the idea bout which of my team member is working on which particular part of the project, I can easily track their progress, and also I can easily correct them where it is required by adding sticky notes, by sending the attachments and URLs.
We did a dynamic activity based on actionable insights from a research study that I conducted. It was great to see people interacting, and one of the proposals was successful, resulting in a 6 million (in local currency) contribution to the company!
