Chose Miro
I'm forgetting a few others we looked at.

Miro does everything I need better. I'm not focused on technical diagrams, though I recognize the technical icon library has expanded significantly in Miro.
Chose Miro
To many steps in Jira to do what Miro makes in seconds. In addition to this Miro has a really good catalogue of templates ready to use and the training library in Miro is years ahead of what Jira offers. And from my personal point of view I don't like Jira because you need to …
Chose Miro
Although Miro got quite a lot more expensive, it's the best white boarding tool out there. We had a trial where we tried to use Microsoft Teams whiteboards instead but quickly stopped due to the lack of functionalities and poor performance. Compared to other more advanced white …
Chose Miro
Miro is a lot more flexible and intuitive to use than Klaxoon, which can be confusing. First time users usually have no issue with Miro but often struggle with Klaxoon.

Microsoft Teams / Microsoft Whiteboard is great for MS integration but really too limited and basic for using …
Chose Miro
Miro is significantly more user friendly in my experience and significantly easier to use.
Chose Miro
Miro’s interface is intuitive, with a clean, customizable workspace that’s easy for new and experienced users to navigate. It offers a smooth, infinite canvas that’s highly flexible, supporting a variety of collaboration styles, from brainstorming to detailed project mapping.
Chose Miro
They are exactly the same, with Lucid being significantly less expensive
Chose Miro
Miro has many more swim lanes and templates, along with much more added functionality. While Mind Map was a great product, Miro is like Mind Map on steroids. I've not encountered situations where Miro didn't work, I'm always successful with documenting what I'm thinking and …
Chose Miro
We are switching to Figma at our organization. I don’t know the reasons why.
Chose Miro
In general Miro is just sleeker (is that a word?) in my opinion. I always admire Google’s drive to enhance their suite, but there’s usually always something missing or limited functionality that, when I get used to other systems like Miro, Google usually falls flat OR its just …
Chose Miro
Both Miro and MURAL have similar feature sets, but Miro was better thanks to the seamless integrations with a wide range of apps, the exporting capabilities, support for large groups and collaboration sessions, and the entire experience feeling smoother and more intuitive. …
Chose Miro
My team is able to collaborate and communicate in real-time thanks to Miro collaborative features. It helps give a bird eye view of our projects we're working on and this also allows our clients to easily understand what we're doing and put in their contribution as well. It has …
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
Multi-user flexibility in terms of being up to date real time was very beneficial for us in Miro.

Miro acts like a whiteboard for us. so we don't always have to be formal with words/visualizations.
Chose Miro
We selected the FREE version of Miro. We did not buy it. As I said in earlier questions: for many tasks other applications like PowerPoint and Drawio are much more suited (and also free). For the barinstorm sessions, the free version of Miro is more then enough for us. There is …
Chose Miro
It is user friendly and less costly when compared to other tools in the market
Chose Miro
It has more features to use like stickers, images, tool integrations. The recommended templates are also easing the workload while creating a new board.
Chose Miro
It has very similar features to the others mentioned; a lot of the basic functionality of using objects, text, and sticky notes. It seems to have the same learning curve as a result. However, we have now switched over to Figma for design and it would be nice to have more …
Chose Miro
I used MURAL in another country, it was a little more complicated to use, and the most annoying things was that I had to ask my superior to have more space in my board ! It was more difficult to onboard a user in the product.

Miro
I recommend Miro due to the following: simple and easy interface to use and multi-platform support. It supports all devices and is good for professional use. Miro offers great tools for editing and designing. It's a digital workspace that allows collaboration and supports third-party integration without any hassle. It has all the tools to create beautiful UI/UX designs for any application, and it also supports team collaboration. Additionally, it auto-saves all created designs during diagramming on the cloud to ensure user data safety.

Pros
Atlassian
  • Effective Sprint planning : Sprint planning can be done using Planning Poker in AgileCraft by clicking Team > Manage > Other > Estimation Games very effectively for distributed teams.
  • Team Capacity Allocation Report: After tasks are created at team or program level, the report from AgileCraft cab be pulled and can be verified that no team member is under or over allocated. A report can be generated by navigating to Team > Manage > Assign Tasks.
  • Effective Requirement trace-ability: To maintain requirements trace-ability follow the steps below:
  • Upload test cases against the story/requirement. once uploaded test cases will be visible under that story
  • Execute Test cases in AgileCraft and mark them as Pass/Fail based on the actual outcome
  • Based on test results, The acceptance criterion's can be marked as “Pass” or “Fail” & if marked failed corresponding defect can be logged & can be attached with the story
  • So against each story we can easily see whether all test cases been executed or not & which acceptance criterion's are failed & how many defects are in open or close state.
  • Daily Scrum: In AgileCraft, the option to run a daily stand-up is available from Team > Manage > Daily Standups. Selecting the sprint number opens the daily stand-up meeting window in which each team member's tasks are visible and hours can be burned against them. Conduct Scrum meetings in AgileCraft, and burn each associate hour against the tasks created during the meeting. The burn-down chart can be generated & viewed during the stand-up to check whether the team is on track.

  • It's an excellent collaboration tool since multiple people can be viewing a board at once, and adding/ranking ideas.
  • Miro is great for holding reference notes. I have struggled over the years with where things should be stored, but I find the visual appeal of Miro to be my pick. I have a personal Miro board where I can keep notes on a variety of topics.
  • I use Miro for retros. I know there are many tools out there for retros, but I find Miro very easy to use for people in any role.

Cons
Atlassian
  • The initial ticket creation screen lacks some important features, such as assigning "point values" (a measure of effort needed for the ticket).
  • The browser needs to be manually refreshed to see new tickets, which can make things confusing when several people in a meeting are simultaneously creating tickets.
  • The interface on some smaller portions of the software are sometimes difficult to understand.

  • Discovering features can be a little difficult. Many features have been added over the years, so it would be good if there were an easier way to discover tricks, tips, and tools.
  • The more real-time integrations, the better. So iframes that show live PPT presentations or spreadsheets would be handy. A lot of those tools have poor collaborative features. If Miro could layer it on top somehow, that would be great.
  • I think some sort of introduction guide/ice breakers that are out of the box and ready to be used would be good. I often need to ensure stakeholders know how to use Miro before kicking off a workshop.

There is nothing that can be better than Jira but it needs to keep improving certain areas especially the attachment size area.

I have advocate for the renew of Miro quite few times, however, it is not under my control as the decision is made in another team with their own budget. I would buy for my own entrepreneur projects (1-2 members) as I do know the value and work there 100%. So, I would pay out of my own pocket to get the value. However, If I wouldn't know the value it provides, it would be hard to decide with the current freemium features

Most of the things are easily manageable except certain things that are hidden and you need to ask teammates who are aware of how they can link attachements in the comment section and so on.

Due to facilitating over 50 workshops with a range of disciplines and capabilities, I have observed a first-time user get up to speed with basic tools in Miro in minutes. The learning curve for the product feels relatively simple, yet offers more complex functionality if you are willing to dig deeper and play around. One aspect which I myself find challenging is keeping breadth of new features and ways in which Miro can help me and my team, I tend to dismiss the many pop-ups and 'what's new' dialogues due to being in the moment with a task in hand - I wonder how Miro might solve this problem to raise awareness and inform me of new functionality based on my behaviours and interactions with the product

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.

Sometimes it gets quite slow and there is a correlation between this and the size of the board. Hence we are trying to segment the boards based on product stages or projects so that the size doesn't go big. When you go from discovery to delivery on a simple board, it will get large and difficult to load, even crash or go white screen

Overall support from Jira team is good. It comes at an additional price but it is very efficient. There are no long wait times, you get a dedicated team to look into your issues. The support is available throughout the year and they keep a record of your issues. Overall we are very satisfied with the support they have provided us over the years, it has been very effective for the price that we pay.

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.

Microsoft Azure Devops won't have the major functionality of software management like Jira. The customization provided by Jira is having a cutting edge over any project management tool. Adds-on and Plugins feature in the Jira Tool make it as perfect as desired task management tool for any company. One of the best Agile based Project Management Tools.

I’ve used Google Slides, Figma (whiteboarding), Jamboard, Notion, and Google Calendar for planning and organizing content, including scheduling posts for creators. Miro stands out for combining structure, flexibility, and collaboration in a way the others don’t. It’s more dynamic and intuitive than Google Slides for visual thinking, less design-specific than Figma so anyone on the team can use it easily, and more interactive than Notion or Jamboard when it comes to creative ideation and feedback. Compared to Google Calendar, Miro provides a more visual and collaborative approach to planning and organizing, especially for creative tasks. It centralizes several processes into one platform, making it the most complete option for my daily work.

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

Return on Investment
Atlassian
  • It has positively impacted our tech teams, allowing them to better organize the tasks and items they are working on and has greatly improved their ability to communicate & review these tasks with other teams.
  • I believe it negatively impacted other departments as lengthy training was required by many associates to attempt using the tool, only to find out it didn't meet our needs, therefore much time was wasted.
