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
Miro ranks very well with Asana and MURAL and surpasses Notion and Product board in terms of whiteboard capabilities.
However, I have not yet utilized project collaboration features of workflow, agile/kanban methodologies within Miro (if they even exist) so I cannot compare …
Chose Miro
Miro has been my favorite as opposed to Bluescape and Asana. Bluescape felt a bit outdated and not as smooth to use. Asana did not have the extent of flexibility or features for the purposes we wanted.
Chose Miro
We use Asana for shorter-term planning and resource allocation. Miro has been better for ideation, workshops, and any meetings that require an interactive part. I also really like its free nature and how it's a great place to develop ideas and plans without being restricted to …
Chose Miro
Compared to Microsoft Visio and Asana, we find Miro is more feature rich and integrates with more commercial products such as Microsoft Teams. Having a native integration with Microsoft Teams as an add-in is quite important as Teams is the platform used for our project …
Chose Miro
I prefer Miro to Asana because it just seems more casual and less structured.
Chose Miro
I like Miro specifically for its brainstorming and whiteboard uses. I still use Asana and Planner for planning out timelines or assigning specific tasks.
Chose Miro
Jamboard felt very clunky compared to Miro. It was also very difficult to make your Jamboards look inviting. Conversely, Miro allows you to layer as much as you want/need. It allows you to easily create boards that work for the needs of your team - whether internal or …
Chose Miro
I've used Microsoft Whiteboard >> Miro is far superior. I've also used Frameable Whiteboard, and although it has less integration, the interface is more intuitive and natural.
Chose Miro
About the same. Miro had more templates and more modern look. The design agency AJ&Smart moving to Miro in recent years was also a telling sign. I personally learned workshopping through them. If they moved from Mural, I determined it was for good reason and I could benefit also.
Chose Miro
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 …
Chose Miro
Miro stood out because it has more capabilities in one program, and more designers and architects I work with already use Miro over the other programs.
Chose Miro
Miro offers a large number of formats and visual tools, empowering users to make graphs, flowcharts, and other visual content.
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
Miro is much more user-friendly and responsive and the UI is optimal compared to these.
Chose Miro
Fibery has so much more limitations compared to Miro. Their interface is feels very out-dated compared to Miro. It's also pricier than Miro.
Chose Miro
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
Chose Miro
It's been 2 and a half years since i last used MURAL, so i don't remember much (and it has probably evolved since). but i remember finding Miro lighter and more friendly. there was only when tool that i missed and i still miss that i have mentioned previously (regarding the …
Chose Miro
Very similar with some slight variations. MURAL is a little bit simpler. It's like the andriod vs apple debate. I would say MURAL is the apple and Miro is the andrior with more buttons and features.
Chose Miro
I've used InVision in a brainstorming session with an external company; Miro is easier to grasp as it is more functional. I much prefer using Miro than I did InVision.
Chose Miro
Miro and Figma are both great tools on their own right but the former is better suited for our purposes, while the latter is a better fit for those who are out there looking for a more advanced design and prototyping tool.
Chose Miro
Miro has a better featureset than either of these products and is designed as a standalone tool with collaboration at its heart- not an afterthought added on to some other existing collaboration product or a product designed to function for a single user where collaboration was …
Chose Miro
Miro has a vast campus to use freely and access with colleagues and clients in real-time. It is very useful to see the same page with them. The above products do not have such a feature; they focus on task management and project management. So, we adopted both products.

Asana
Asana fixed team issues like project transparency and communication, improved team performance, and enhanced office and mobile productivity. Upper management can solve project management issues quickly, and new hires can use the tool immediately. Asana's surveys simplify research and data collection. Its free trial, free plan, or paid SaaS subscription gives small and large teams the tools and centralized console to work through project tasks efficiently. Due to its complexity, Asana can be overwhelming at first.

Miro
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.

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
  • 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.

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

  • 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.

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.

Miro
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.

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).

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.

I like how extensive the capabilities are for Asana. With other softwares it seems there are many things lacking. I feel like Asana is also a very user friendly platform and aesthetically pleasing which is important in a modern office. We have many young people entering our workspace and it is important to have software that is ahead of the times in functionality and efficiency.

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.
