We tried to use both Kanban Tool and Trello a while ago, but they never really caught on. Miro is way more flexible and user friendly. We still use SharePoint for many things, but it is not useful for the same jobs as Miro. While Miro allows for absolute real-time interactivity …
I don't have any experience with additional stacks up. But I think that speaks to how much we are already able to get done with Miro itself. Managing teamwork and tracking our projects is so easy. Synchronic working is also very smooth with the tools that come available with …
Kanban is well suited for a fast-paced working environment for larger teams who want continuous communication with users. Kanban is good for rapid development and daily meetings for updates and statuses. Kanban is less suited for smaller teams or groups who don't require collaboration and constant communication with involved users. Kanban is time-consuming and it takes additional effort outside of your regular work to maintain and manage the tool.
Miro is probably one of the best teaching tools I've encountered in the last decade. While I understand that it is focused on the business world, communicating and collaborating with students has become much easier since I started using Miro boards. Quite often, I've had to work with a student who couldn't come to my physical classroom, and being able to communicate, write, and work on math problems with a student in real time is invaluable.
Kanban does not show the task or story clearly. You have to open the project separately to view the details of the project.
Kanban gives a higher level project management view but it lacks customization and personal settings features.
I would like to see Kanban provide mobile access to their tool, data, and board. This would be very useful for all companies and provide an increase in efficiency and productivity.
Selecting objects that are stacked is difficult; other products use cursor aware use of the tab key to cycle through objects
In the app specifically, allowing people to group or color code tabs for open boards allowing for easier location of content you're looking for
Control of shapes; ability to edit the radius of rounded box corners vs. current ratio of size or the ability to change the triangle to something other than equilateral
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.
The integration with Teams is well suited. This works wonderful for my company. Our team can easily prioritize tasks based on their importance. It help our team identify and reduce inefficiencies in workflow. With great visibility in data our team can make informed decisions. Ensuring clear accountability and responsibility of team members
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.
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.
The "normal" setup of Miro and team forming works well and is easy. things arent so smooth with the enterprise version. It's likely that the issues are Baxter IT problems and not a Miro problem. I like the standard (non-enterprise) implimentation best, but that likely is because our IT group locks things down without talking to Miro. again, not Miro's fault.
We've only tried JIRA Agile and KanbanFlow before. Kanban Tool was the one that our team actually liked and enjoyed working with. Also - it's been much easier to get started with and to understand than some of the other two (JIRA in particular). Although JIRA has many more features that we would have possibly used, the user feedback on it was so poor we were afraid that the negativity would create time wasted and less "job satisfaction" amongst the team.
I have not encountered anything like Miro. I wouldn't want to use anything but Miro. I used Mind Map once and it was static, and formulaic. Mind map was too restrictive for me to want to use. It did not allow me to be creative like Miro. I chose Miro because it was intuitive, it augmented my physical whiteboard, and I realized I didn't have to photograph my physical white board to capture and present content.
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.
