Considered Both Products
Asana
Chose Asana
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 …
Chose Asana
  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
I have been able to use some other platforms like Miro. At my company right now, I only use Miro and Slack, but I have used Notion, Asana, and Figma. Figma is great with graphic design; it's not really like Miro. On the other hand, Notion and Asana were platforms I used at my …
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.
Chose Miro
Miro is a bit more complex with the number of features and needs to learn to get used to, but it has far more tools than Figma whiteboards. I think some simplification in the look and feel initially makes Figma more user-friendly, but ultimately, Miro is a better product.
Chose Miro
Because it has a more visual platform and you can interect online on an specific moment of time, while the other it's more asynchornic.
Chose Miro
Both are in the project mgt realm but very different and complementary. I love using both.
Chose Miro
Best overall fit for our use cases. We still use some of the other tools, e.g. Slack for communication, but not their shared hangout boards etc.
Chose Miro
I used other diagramming tools in the past, like Lucidcharts, draw.io, Figma etc.
Miro sticks around because of its simplicity and a friendly userface. Because of that everyone in the company uses so it's easy to share with the rest. Other tools can be great too - like Figma is …
Chose Miro
The Whiteboard was not as usable. Not even close. However, it is well integrated with our company's Microsoft license.
Chose Miro
Miro works very well compared to the other tools which we had used earlier because of lot of customisation it offers to the end user. Apart from that it is also very secure and reliable. It also offers variety of technical diagrams. So we would rate Miro higher than the other …
Chose Miro
I left Mural 6 years ago for Miro when Miro was still Realtime Board. The decision has rewarded itself time and time again. Mural lacks motivation, innovation, or product vision—Miro continues to impress me, surprise me, and meet me where I'm at.
Chose Miro
In my opinion, Miro has the right balance of functionality and simplicity. I've trained people on using Miro, and they've picked it up relatively quickly. It also has the functionality to achieve our goals. Canva's whiteboard tool has some nice stock assets but lacks some of …
Chose Miro
I've only used Whiteboard in MS Teams. It's horrible - small, limited functionality, and very importantly - it's slow and laggy.
Chose Miro
I wouldn't say they are completely identical but comparing the two is possible. I used monday.com to keep tasks organized and planned campaigns with it. Miro allows me to do the same but with a unique approach: visually. In some cases, I would screenshot Miro and add it to a …
Chose Miro
I work in Figma, and since FigJam is part of the ecosystem, it's often more useful and handy.
Chose Miro
I like Miro because it has been best for me as a visual learner. To be able to see projects laid out in a timeline related manner has helped me prioritize my work more so than other platforms that appear to keep things listed in a steady line of work.
Chose Miro
A bit more manipulation to set up, especially with notification needs on projects, but worth it to invest the time to do so to counter the high cost of the other products. Miro is more of a malleable blank slate to work with, whereas the others are more defined in how to use …
Chose Miro
Miro is best for collaborative brainstorming. It's the thing we use most for that. It's the easiest to use, least technical, and most design-friendly tool for that type of collaboration.

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

Miro ensures a secure teleconferencing by encrypting all meetings and verifying identities of all attendees before joining a meeting. User interface of the software is very straightforward making its implementation seamless and hustle free. Audio and video quality of the software are superb. Am also grateful for the product's customer care services providers who ensure timely responses.

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

  • Strategic Planning - we invited everyone in our business to contribute to adding 100 ideas on a Miro board across our 6 strategic pillars so we could see everything in one place.
  • We mapped our 100 ideas from one side of the canvas onto a Feasibility Matrix on the other side of the canvas, to figure out what was easy / hard to do and what was high / low impact.
  • Then, we invited everyone to vote, using a balanced scorecard we created, on their Top 5 priorities on the ideas on the Feasibility Matrix.

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
  • Integration of spreadsheets e.g. a google spreadsheet only provides a very limited view. Much easier to go into the spread in it's native system at this point
  • Highlighting to a user comments that have them tagged. Especially for larger, more intricate boards with multiple collaborators
  • Easier selection of shapes to add (much like stickers)

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.

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.

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.

I would rate Miro's overall usability a 10 as well. The platform's intuitive design and user-friendly interface make it incredibly easy to navigate and use, even for those who are new to it. The drag-and-drop functionality, along with a wide range of templates and tools, allows for seamless collaboration and creativity. Additionally, the real-time collaboration features enable our team to work together efficiently, regardless of location. The integration with other tools we use daily further enhances our workflow, making Miro an indispensable part of our toolkit. Overall, Miro's usability has significantly improved our productivity and collaboration, making it a top choice for our team.

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.

Support Rating

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.

Miro is an excellent tool for brainstorming and teamwork. Even while working remotely, it facilitates project organisation, brainstorming, and planning. Many people can collaborate in real time because of the straightforward design, which can be overwhelming at first, but as users onboard, it gets easier to use. Deployment was quick and without any issues.

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.

They both can potentially solve similar problems, but they're unique enough to have and use separate from each other. I find that Miro is best for non-UX teams, while Figma is preferred. Miro feels more user-friendly to the average person in our org (including myself).

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.

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.

  • Reduced our need to travel to facilitate workshops by over 50 percent, saving tens of thousands a year in T&E costs.
  • We would estimate that replacing multiple other software packages saves us many multiples of the investment we are now making in Miro.
  • Increased the volume of work we can take on due to a more efficient and just as effective workflow.
