I sometimes prefer excalidraw+ hehe, but Miro is easy to save files since it is connected to my professional account. The whiteboard is very limited.
Chose Miro
I've used Lucid Chart and Excalibur. Both are good in their own ways, but neither has the full suite of functionality that my own does.
Chose Miro
Excalidraw is better when I simply need to explain some concept. Rest, it's not as wide a variety as Miro, which can sit in day-to-day, multi-dimensional business use.
Chose Miro
1. As for Figma, I think Miro is easy to work with when we are innovating and learning new things while sharing ideas in a team when we are just shooting out the ideas for the projects.
2. Whimsical, I felt was more rigid, like ux is not smooth, and we need to search for the …

collaboration, collaboration , collaboration. It's all about that and this is why Miro won. But the capability to make export is less good than with draw.io (with the code embedded in a png file)
Chose Miro
I’ve used both Excalidraw+ and draw.io. Excalidraw+ is great for quick, lightweight sketches with a clean “hand-drawn” feel, but it’s less strong for running structured workshops at scale (facilitation tools, templates, board organization, stakeholder-friendly presentation). dra…

Miro encompasses all the features I used on other platforms, and does it just as well as the others.

I think every one of them has their own benefit, but Miro is possibly the most complete. I don't think Miro should overcomplicate and offer too many things. I think it is perfectly positioned to tailor to the requirements of a small to medium organization or smaller teams in …

Some of those do not allow to add images or videos or struggle handling links or simply they don't load youtube videos for example. Some of those you can not add GIFs or have trouble while handling files. With Miro all these work as expected its compatibility with different …

Chose Miro
basically more ease of use, more ability to collaborate without too many errors (with OneNote there were many problems with the syncing) and more features to work with, without needing to customize too much.
Chose Miro
Excalidraw is straightforward to use for basic, hand-drawn sketches, but it lacks some of Miro's capabilities. Miro is superior for more intricate projects requiring a more significant number of collaboration options. FigJam is not as effective for non-design jobs, but it works …
Chose Miro
Gather Town is a multiverse cool tool. The app has a blackboard and a document section, which is the eraser tool. This approach is cool, but I feel Eraser misses a lot of functionalities that Miro has, such as the flexibility to collaborate with all team members, the …
Chose Miro
I would say miro is more complete in its features, it can do most of the things the other products do also and feels more comfortable working on than draw io.
Chose Miro
Miro is by far the best.

I find it quickest to visualize concepts, and its polish is much better than Excalidraw's. The learning curve is also way flatter for Miro than the other tools. If you need to get people together to visualize something, there's a high likelihood that …
Chose Miro
Miro is our company's recommended solution. Excalidraw is also very good, but I didn't spend too much time with that platform.
Chose Miro
Miro has simple pricing, easy onboarding and takes couple of hrs to setup but once done its quite handy. Excalidraw is unique that it doesn't need any login but you cannot work on multiple boards so there is some tradeoff there. Lucidchart is very early in their product …
Chose Miro
Miro is more versatile, has more features and can be as simple and as complex as you want it to be. Also very easy supports different types of entities (pictures, videos, links, pdfs, documents, etc.), and does not have a steep learning curve. It has all that I need.

Miro is really helpful for team discussions, planning tasks, and visually sharing ideas. I like that multiple people work together at the same time, especially during online meetings. It will be good for creating flowcharts, notes, and project planning boards. Sometimes the large board can be slow, and new users may be confused at first because there are many tools.

Pros
Excalidraw
No answers on this topic
Miro
  • Makes internal coordination between admin team and tutors extremely painless. It's like a single place where everyone can drop ideas, get updates and notes without loss of context which usually happens in long email threads.
  • Versioning and board history are handled very well, which drastically reduces the workload. They help me track how a policy or math guideline has evolved, and also make it easy to revert changes if something doesn't work.
  • Comments stick exactly where they are meant to, making internal reviews much clearer. Admins don't have to guess which note refers to which rule or section.
  • Exports are clean, so even non-Miro teammates get it instantly.

Cons
Excalidraw
No answers on this topic
Miro
  • It looks somewhat hokey at times and can come off as a little cartoony.
  • Its singular focus can often be its drawback, given that it has multiple use cases, but those are often not explored with its core features.
  • It could be a bit more complex, which somewhat ties into my above point.

Miro saves my day. I would spend at least 4x more time on documenting my projects and work without this tool. It support my day to day role and helps me be successful while saving my capacity. It is not only very easy to start working on it without additional training required, but also adapts to any use case that I might need to implement

Miro
This is a hard one.. and totally subjective.. Initially when i started using Miro, i had trouble scrolling here and there.. the canvas was so vast and zoomed out .. Now i have learnt how this works .. I feel we need some kind of indexing at board level, which will give the topics / headings in a concise way .. Like a birds eye view of the components on the board. That might improve usability a bit.

I have not encountered events where Miro is not available. It is quite nice and reliable to be fair, even on my freemium version (startup) I don't have reliability issues. It does have sometimes where the screen refresh or "freezes" or "consumes a lot of data" and we have to rewind windows and the likes, this instances are very less

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.

We looked at other tools for the freeform communication and collaboration, as well as for tracking timelines and roadmaps, and Miro was just the best overall tool because we can keep everything in one spot and our team only has to learn and one use tool, as opposed to having to log into multiple spots.
