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 …
Asana is cross-platformed and is easy and quickly reachable via a web browser.
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.
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 …
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 Bluescape felt a bit outdated and not as smooth to use.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.
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 …
I like Miro specifically for its brainstorming and whiteboard uses. I still use Asana and Planner for planning out timelines or assigning specific tasks.
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 …
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 …
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.
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.
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 …
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.
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
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 …
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.
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.
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.
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 …
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 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 is great for a medium-big company like a corporate one because it has many efficient features set for big scheme companies. It could help manage budgets for the IT/ Help Desk sections. However, I find it less appropriate for a startup company where the budget could be limited and personal.
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.
Retro. At different stages of the meeting it is important to be able to work with the board at the same time (to indicate what went well or badly), as well as to be able to quickly visualize the information (to combine clusters of problems) and to indicate solutions with arrows.
Display information at different levels of abstraction. This is especially important for our product backlog. It is important for different people in the organization to see different levels of presentation.
All the benefits of a physical whiteboard, plus the advantages of the digital world. Working with the world is extremely intuitive. You can invite people who use Miro once a week and I don't have to do a 15 minute briefing on how to use the tool for them.
Free vs. paid licenses - our IT department makes it hard for our associates to gain access so people are left unable to participate because they have to ask for a license and sit in an IT black hole
Admittedly I am a creature of habit and don't totally understand what Miro offers and what all the symbols mean - perhaps a way to use tutorials or have more help understanding in my flow that something could be helping me or save me time would be interesting. AI predicts what I'm trying to do?
I have various sections on my board, all different fonts. I don't know how that happened or if I can make everything sync up so it's legible as I cruise through without zooming out and in but that would be nice.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
There was not enough training for users to understand all the key features. The rollout was very high-level, but when users are expected to start adopting it, you have to ensure they are given the proper tools to do so. Miro is a great tool, and proper training is key to adoption.
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.
Miro is visually appealing, very inviting, and easy to use for the most part. It has all the drawing tools to connect shapes, create aligned diagrams, change colors, establish a layout, and color them. You can quickly change font sizes. In our meetings, teammates are very willing to follow along on Miro.
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.
We're able to collaborate remotely as if we had a big wall with a lot of sticky notes, avoiding costly travel to offsite locations. ($350 per day)
Meetings flow more efficiently when we use the timer, helping us to stick to the meeting agenda and avoiding distractions.
We can save our work and return to it, without having to refer to a picture of a whiteboard that is hard to read. This saves us from confusion and helps to keep collaboration going.
