Asana is the best for task management, it’s easy to use and streamlined for team members to use with minimal intervention. It’s a lot nicer to use compared to similar products like Projectplace although there is some difference in features. It has much better features in terms …

  1. Asana is cross-platformed and is easy and quickly reachable via a web browser.
  2. It has permissions, filters, reports, tags, comments, etc. All these features allow tracking day-by-day activities of the team as well as weekly/ monthly milestones and reporting.
  3. It is quick, …
Miro
Chose Miro
It's the best for what it offers, a virtual way to collaborate and get ideas down on 'paper'.
Chose Miro
I selected Miro because it’s the only tool out of all that can combine visuals with collaboration, comment and feedback. Since we have people from all sub-divisions that need a shared workspace to collaborate, an easy to use tool with maximum impact would make the greatest …
Chose Miro
We started our investigation with FigJam and analyzed it for a very long time, but after using it for some time, we found out it is not good for the medical industry, as it is designed mostly for IT. After that we used Miro and realized that it is the best for our industry, so …
Chose Miro
We tested these tools and got some experience on them as well. But finally we cam to understand that Miro stood out by balancing structure with creativity, making it flexible enough for both system planning and cross-functional collaboration. So, Yes we tested so many tools …
Chose Miro
We assessed these tools to gain a better understanding because they are excellent and have certain unique features. But in the end, we chose Miro since it offers all the features that ClickUp, Stormboard, and Conceptboard do. Additionally, it has a special feature that lets you …
Chose Miro
Although it’s not a platform that does the same as Miro, I used it for similar things like showcasing my projects or work in an organized and visual way through a link where anyone could enter and see my personal space. However, Miro has many more functionalities that I can …
Chose Miro
It offers a clean,intuitive and easy to navigate platform and also it’s price is more reasonable compared to other similar platforms.
Chose Miro
Miro is more user-friendly that Whimsical. I find it easier to create charts and diagrams and move things around. Everything feels smoother and easier to do
Chose Miro
miro provides more options for note-taking, managing business leads and designing rough templates quickly.
Chose Miro
Way more features and integrations. The one thing I liked about Freehand was how it would style shapes.
Chose Miro
Miro utilizes a better software to generate frames which can be utilized to present concise, aesthetically pleasing and more interactive presentation Miro. With the lock ability, it also ensures unauthorized edits cannot be made nor can dragging items by mistake impact the …
Chose Miro
We previously used LucidChart that is also a web-based diagramming application that allows users to visually collaborate on drawing and sharing. It's not as good as Miro as it only provided limited functionalities and cannot meet other requirements from the business. Basically, …
Chose Miro
In my opinion, Miro does everything Mural does. We just happened to tumble across Miro first and there was no looking back.
Chose Miro
I prefer Miro to Figma because it "feels" like a good fit for the way my brain works. The UI is smooth and the tooling is intuitive.
Chose Miro
I only had experience with LucidChart before Miro but the interface was not flexible enough to allow me to do everything that I can do with Miro. The interface was also not as friendly or intuitive.
Chose Miro
There are several free sketching tools. In addition, iPads have freeflow which is available to everyone. Miro would definitely have lot more features than free tools but then cost-benefit analysis becomes justified only for users who use several features. For a once in a while …
Chose Miro
Way better. I don't have a ton to say. Miro is by far the easiest to use and the most intuitive. It has also been getting better every year.
Chose Miro
I have not used anything like Miro, only Power Point, which is the only one that is similar. There is a tool like Miro within ClickUp, but it is not as intuitive and easy to use as Miro.

Asana
The usability of Asana is broad since it's available in a variety of platforms that are widely used nowadays. I think that it would be great for people who are constantly on the move and switching devices, since it has allowed me to work from my phone, too. I also think that Asana has proven itself to handle a large quantity of work

Pros
Asana
  • Through it, we were able to communicate and cooperate with the rest of the team to complete the work in the required manner and at the appropriate time.
  • Available for free on Android and iPhone.
  • Asana has a simple and easy user interface

Miro
  • Makes internal coordination between admin team and tutors extremely painless. It's like a single place where everyone can drop ideas, get updates and notes without loss of context which usually happens in long email threads.
  • Versioning and board history are handled very well, which drastically reduces the workload. They help me track how a policy or math guideline has evolved, and also make it easy to revert changes if something doesn't work.
  • Comments stick exactly where they are meant to, making internal reviews much clearer. Admins don't have to guess which note refers to which rule or section.
  • Exports are clean, so even non-Miro teammates get it instantly.

Cons
Asana
  • Asana is not really a project management tool, it is good for simple projects only
  • UI has some glitches (doesn't save preferences, etc.)
  • Integration with other tools (Office 365, MS Project)
  • No reminders if the working period you entered is on holidays

Miro
  • 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.

Asana
  • Mobile + Desktop capabilities - Able to use it anywhere, anytime.
  • Task management - Easy to view projects and their progress.
  • Time management - Easy to see what elements require time / how they interrelate and manage the project on an overall basis.
  • Company management - Be able to see from a master dashboard perspective where each project is in its stages of completion.
  • Clear communication - It's visually documented who is doing what at what time so that the whole project gets done.

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

Usability
Asana
It is very user-friendly. Takes a new employee an hour to start figuring out how the system works. That's an important factor. You don't want to encounter the issue where employees need a week to understand how the system works. For example, JIRA, I tried using it for a week and I still don't understand the complicated layout. Asana has a simple interface. Once you see it, you get it type of program.

Miro
I would rate Miro an 8 out of 10 for overall usability. It's easy to use and has lots of features for making the work easier. I can drag nodes, connect ideas and comment in real time without explaining much to anyone because every member of all the teams have access. For labelling schema design and maths concept mapping, it is incredibly perfect. However, issues related to lag when many nodes introduced and absence of LaTeX making complex equation writing hectic, are of great concern. If those issues were resolved, it's an easy 10.

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.

Performance

Miro
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

Support Rating
Asana
I haven't had to use their support so I can't rate it. The fact that I haven't needed them reflects the ease of use of the product. I would recommend that any new users schedule a complete demo of the product to ensure that they are using it to it's fullest (there's a lot of useful features).

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

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.

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.

Alternatives Considered
Asana
Asana is a top-tier project management software that helps us organize and track projects from start to finish. It allows us to apply tasks/to-dos to multiple projects without duplication, divide complex projects into smaller tasks, and track project progress. It also helps us organize work on Kanban boards or linear lists. It stands out from the crowd in a big way compared to the competition.

I would say on par, but a better value than Mural, hence why our company changed contracts. And, at this time, much better than Microsoft Whiteboard. With that being said, Microsoft has a lot of money to throw at it to add more features and obviously syncs with other office programs. It may be something from a feature standpoint to look at.

Return on Investment
Asana
  • Productivity - Most of all, it allows me to be more productive and have a good sense of where I am with projects and deadlines.
  • Easy to use - I can make the most of my time to get up (and stay) up and running.
  • Project coordination - Allows me to assign tasks to my interns and communicate directly within the platform to keep the work train moving.

Miro
  • I currently save around two to three hours a week now doing administrative tasks. It has saved the need for sending some emails and holding meetings.
  • I trust that I won't miss anything from my team now that we are all in sync with this tool. No more pouring over document comments in Office 365, Emails, Jira tasks, etc. It's all in one place, and can combine all of those other tools there as well with its elegant linking approach.
  • Starting projects and leading others is easy with these persistent and real time updates during meetings. No more "circling back on that point" because it is addressed right now!
