Creately's folder system is a novel feature that beats its competitors. It helps keep everything organized. In addition, there are many more customization possibilities, especially in the shapes and in the library of templates and drawings. It has an intelligent drawing …
Miro's UI is much loved one for me ! no doubt in that . the smoothness that miro offers can be unmatchable. also the navigation options, wiring between the cards , integration was much better to the other softwares that i have used so far. miro also has autosave option when i …
Overall I really like to use Miro. It has the features and tools that make getting my ideas down far easier than other products that I have used before. I like that it has made teamwork easier and that all members of our team find it easy to use too.
Creately sells itself as software specializing in a wide variety of areas, which is true in some cases. Visualizing and creating marketing processes, research, user flows, and general flowcharts is an extremely powerful tool. However, in other areas, such as Human Resources, UI/UX prototyping, and Wireframe design, it leaves a little to be desired compared to the competition.
Based on my experience, as previously mentioned Miro shines for remote workshop design and facilitation. As a facilitator I value simple but effective tools such as the timer, locking/hiding assets, voting features which remove group bias. Focusing on heat mapping and dot voting features would be beneficial to support facilitators in their practice and remove what feels like manual effort at times. Wireframing is limited but still very accessible for non-designers, at times I have observed increased engagement from non-designers using Miro's wireframing tools vs pen and paper (sketching) which in theory should level the playing field for all disciplines but can make others nervous they are being judged for their drawing skills. I love whiteboarding in person with my team to jump in and problem solve, having a primarily remote team means this isn't always possible and so Miro fills that gap.
Leveraging content on one board across multiple boards could be more user-friendly. I believe this is a new feature, so maybe I just hadn't figured it out yet.
I wish Miro could use info from another source but (e.g. a document stored in SharePoint) keep the link to that source so that if the source document changes, the doc in Miro would show an out-of-date icon and can be synced (manually or automatically as a preference or action).
I wish Miro would allow us to place a watermark on the screen. We'd like to brand our workshops with our company logo (and maybe the client's logo) and/or a custom message (like "proprietary info - do not copy") in a corner or edge of the screen.
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.
I use Miro every day, and it’s extremely intuitive and flexible.It allows me to organize ideas, collaborate with my team in real time, and present projects seamlessly — all in one place.The user interface is clean and easy to navigate, even for people who are new to the tool.It adapts to different needs, from brainstorming to project delivery, which makes it essential to my daily work.
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.
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.
Both are great collaborative tools but Miro has a wide range of templates to chose from. Additionally, its real-time collaborative capabilities allows a large group of participants to engage real-time which is ideal for brainstorming sessions, discussion boards and group projects. Regarding integration with other tool, Miro seamlessly does it with third party apps allowing users to use it maximally.
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
