Did not invest a lot of time looking at FigJam, but I have used it when working on school projects with other designers. But once I told them about using Miro, my FigJam friends converted to Miro. I think they thought Miro had more features and was easy to learn which helped

Miro is better for collaboration in cross functional teams. Engineers, Product Managers, Marketing and Sales feel more confortable than using other tools such as FigJam which are more focused on designers. The speed is superior to other tools such as Google Jamboard or Mural. …

No other option we looked into had the flexibility of Miro.

Miro has more features and add-ons. In Mural, for example, it’s not intuitive how to select objects or how to group.
Mural takes longer to load, which inhibits me from adding more objects, which could slow down the app even further.

Miro works just as well if not better than the others. Its simple but powerful and enables a lot of collaboration, the templates available and the ease of adding and removing things that you just want to see has been great. I had originally used MURAL but have come to prefer Miro

Evernote
Evernote is an excellent tool for keeping track of client relationships and taking notes. The indexing is excellent, with text in images and text. However, a Wiki might be better for large-scale collaboration. It is a perfect use case for it, and it is hard to beat. To-do lists that need to be tracked or have due dates assigned do not work well in Evernote. It's almost like a library that anyone can add to, edit, tag, and reference. Evernote has a limited checklist function in terms of tasks meant to be kept in one place rather than reviewed and organized over time.

Miro
It is excellent for digital collaboration with clients and colleagues. It can replace PowerPoint as an engagement and communication tool that can be used to drive interactive sessions, ongoing collaboration, and iteration. Using the integrated video tools to run participants through the board and/or provide instructions is fantastic. As is the ability to integrate with third-party applications like Jira. However, it is currently less suited to building toolsets that can be monetized, as there is no defined way to limit who can access custom boards.

Pros
Evernote
  • Ability to share meeting notes with others (like that it works well with Rocketbook).
  • The To-Do list helps with organization and project deadlines.
  • Able to sync to multiple devices so you can use it in the office or in the field.

Miro
  • Visualization of concepts. Very easy to create diagrams, journey maps, cluster information together
  • Collaborative work. Sometimes I create activities where we do some individual work and then converge together as a group, the ability to do that all in one board and then have the information in one place is really valuable.
  • Planning. Super easy to create detailed plans, move things around, leave comments. Especially love the 'cards' where you can even put status progress and assign to specific person

Cons
Evernote
  • The free application's feature will meet most users needs, but the Premium plan is expensive.
  • Though Evernote lets you create and manage notes effortlessly, its basic plan supports sync between two devices and does not support offline mode.
  • Can't export data easily to other applications.

  • Im having trouble working with the timeline when I add a card as an object, as im not able to open it again to edit some of the card elements.
  • I had issues with the dot voting in the past as the dots would not adjust shape/size. I'm not sure if this has now been solved.
  • The most important: Please allow to export in PDF or any format, only specific frames or parts of the board.

I can't really imagine how much they'd have to charge me to make me quit Evernote. I can't really think of any technology that has changed my life as much without going back to email in the 90s, or the introduction of the iPhone. I know I sound ridiculous, but it would be really tough for me to live without it. If I were forced to choose between my smart phone (and keep in mind that I get lost in my driveway) and my Evernote, I'd probably choose my Evernote.

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
Evernote
  • Basic visual organization - ability to create a notebook and store user notes inside of it.
  • Basic easy navigation - You can quickly move in and out of files and notes.
  • User intuitive addition - whatever you need to add to your document, it's relatively easy to understand and use.
  • We find overall that we still want some functionality in creating better task lists, boards, and other things that we find in Notion - which is the tool that we use as a team notebook/storage space.

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.

Evernote
I bet you won’t even need to call their support. Their product has never failed me. Simply put. But if you were to email them to gather some details or help, I bet they won’t disappoint you. Don’t worry about the support, it’s the last thing you should worry about this product.

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.

Make sure you think about your tags. If you end up with multiple similar tags then things aren't grouped together as you might prefer. For instance if you have a tag called Disney and Walt Disney, this will split up your articles. Evernote makes it simple to correct, but I suggest you make sure your users look closely at the existing tags before creating new ones.

So many ways to use Miro, it'd be good to have a basic training for users to do before starting. We're finding there's a vast split amongst our users, some use all the time, and some avoid it heavily. Finding ways to personalize the onboarding experience will be key. Maybe even just an "onboarding template" they can be walked through. It would be good to also have a central management of activity and notifications of when people log-in and work on things.

The most similar program I have used is OneNote by Microsoft, and other note taking programs exist like Notepad and Microsoft Word but those programs do not offer syncing like Evernote does. There are newer programs in the space like Dropbox Paper and Google Docs which would be on a list of ones to consider.

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
Evernote
  • Evernote has allowed our school's over 3000 students and staff members to work more efficiently instead of spending time on making physical notes, clicking pictures, and uploading them to the cloud in order to share them
  • The investment in Evernote Premium has also allowed for heavier files to be attached in each note such as student work that allows teachers to be certain that students have followed deadlines and finished assigned tasks
  • Evernote has allowed our school to smoothly transition in and out of online learning as the local COVID-19 protocols change and student work requires one platform to be based on throughout

Miro
  • Ease of collaboration - This has saved me countless hours and stress. Old products such as Visio and Milanote lacked collaborative features. With more time and more mental capacity, I am able to accomplish more.
  • There has been a reduced project completion time. For example when designing websites. I am able to clip a snippet of a website we are designing, draw an arrow to exactly where we need to work, and apply a post-it with direction. This has saved us a ton of hours and back and forth via Whatsapp directing the team on what needs to be done.
  • There is a financial return for sure. I just don't have those hard numbers at the moment.
