The all in one tool aspect is hard to beat. None of the others are really able to cover Agile Methodologies, Technical diagramming and Workshop Facilitation and Presentations in the one tool.
I would say on par, but a better value than Mural, hence why our company changed contracts. And, at this time, much better than Microsoft Whiteboard. With that being said, Microsoft has a lot of money to throw at it to add more features and obviously syncs with other office …
I prefer using MIRO - Mural and Figma are other tools I have used - but not as intensively as MIRO. Our company uses MIRO, so I like to stick to one product.
I believe Miro is better than FigJam for most teams, the main reason for that is that it supports more complex workflows, other would be Miro is more versatile for planning, which is really crucial for my profile.
Miro is a much more capable and reliable solution. It has several advantages when compared to Mural. Miro's multi-functionality and reliability are much appreciated.
We adopted Miro before we moved from Sketch to Figma, which is part of why it beat out FigJam for us. It was already somewhat entrenched before FigJam became available to us. Also the licensing model and the fact that Miro is available to and used by most everyone in our corp …
Miro basically cover the needs of all the other tools. I started using Miro extensively during the pandemic and at that point only Jamboard provided similar options and was free when collaborating in a bigger group and when not everyone had a license. This is still the main …
In my opinion, Microsoft White Board does not compare. So much lag, much more limited functionality (ability to customize visuals and text), no ability to lock content, etc. Mural I haven't used as much. Probably closer in competition to Miro - felt pretty similar. Miro I …
We chose Miro because it filled the blanks when it comes to interactive collaboration and visualization. None of the other tools we use daily promotes the kind of active involvement by the team members and our external workshop or meeting participants. Miro has become the …
Compared to Visio, I found Miro's UI a lot more friendly and easy to use, it was not "clunky" as Visio, and its overall presentation was just nicer and more pleasant to use. Miro had a lot more features and templates available as well. I think overall, it was the look and feel, …
FigJam is okay, but just feels more clunky than Miro. It kind of reminds me of the early versions of Miro with primitive features. Figma is still a far superior screen design tool, but I like the wireframe features built into Miro for quick mockups. I'm not sure if it will ever …
Miro excels in visual collaboration while Slack focuses on communication. Miro provides an infinite canvas, real-time brainstorming, and interactive workshops and is much more suited for us.
Office everyday things since time immemorial. It's hard for Google Suite or any other to compete with Microsoft. They have everything, and it all works great, with incredible tools and capabilities. The new integrations work seamlessly most of the time, such as embedding a Power BI in a PPT. Expecting too much AI, like note taking, or LLM-based PPT, is not available in my tier at least, so depending on the budget, you won't get all you may expect from an AI leader. For diagramming and process maps, you're better off with other tools like those above.
Miro works best for me when I am running visual QA on labelled math problems before it is sent out to production. The infinite canvas helps all the members of the team to give valuable feedback, suggestions, etc. I can instantly spot inconsistent logic or misapplied labels. However, once the board exceeds a large number of nodes, lag creeps in, system freezes. Small formula edits without LaTeX becomes really frustrating. Even with all these cons, it is kind of one of the best products yet.
Microsoft 365 really needs to work on protection part. In complex environment it is not reliable as compared to its competitors like Proofpoint. There are many instances where it fails to perform effectively.
In SharePoint Online the versioning feature of the document needs to be improved by Microsoft. Sometimes when we have to roll back to the previous version it does not work as expected.
In Teams messaging and app permission policies can be improved. There are some settings where we have to add a lot of things manually.
Sticky notes cannot be easily resized. It would often be useful for them to transform into workspaces, because they become actual text content rather than just notes.
Perhaps there is no option to sort the work boards according to specific criteria (such as alphabetical order or date).
The various functions available should perhaps be explained clearly with a tooltip or something similar while you are working with the various tools. I often don't realise that certain things can be done.
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
Solid usability, we transitioned from Mural, so some of it is a learning curve from what we were used to in the prior tool. As previously mentioned, the scrolling feature and moving around the board is not as intuitive as I would like. Outside of that, the functionality seems to mee the expectations we have for a collaboration 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.
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
Over the past 8 years of using Microsoft 365, I have noticed that they change vendors often. This always leads to a poor experience in the beginning, then levels out after some time for the company to get things worked out. As a customer, it is really frustrating because I don't have time when something isn't working to have them "look into my issue" and get back with me. They have even closed a ticket I specifically told them to keep open. Your applications are only as good as the support.
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.
Its very user-friendly, collaborative and efficient that boosts productivity using cloud tools. their security is strong and it provides data protection. There are regular updates that shields us from attackers too. It offers a wealth of learning resources, including tutorials, help articles and video guide to help users make the most of the application and personally upgrade their skills.
While not as feature rich to be honest as some of these focused tools, it still replaces a vast majority of them. It is enough to make it easily replace the listed tools if you wish to do so. This not only saves time pivoting between tools, but also money with licensing which is an easy sell to my management.
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
It has helped keep the high-energy culture my company has since it allows easy communication and calls.
Positively impacts responses from clients, since we can see how many times they have been contacted. (the more someone is contacted, the less likely they are to respond. Microsoft helps make sure we all know who and who not to contact)
positively impacts my ability to focus, since you can mute notifications. Since I look at my computer all day, it is helpful to lock in and not get distracted by the many emails I receive a day. You can also change preferences, so emails with high urgency are still seen.
We did a dynamic activity based on actionable insights from a research study that I conducted. It was great to see people interacting, and one of the proposals was successful, resulting in a 6 million (in local currency) contribution to the company!
