Miro
Chose Miro
Microsoft was much more user friendly than both other products and my team had no trouble finding what they needed unlike SharePoint and Teams The feature set in Microsoft was far superior as both SharePoint and Teams had very specific uses and needed to work with each other. …
Chose Miro
Miro was better suited for our remote needs than both SharePoint and Teams. Both Teams and SharePoint had a higher learning curve than Miro and, in my opinion, configuring permissions on SharePoint and Teams were a lot of unnecessarily complicated work. Miro was selected due to …
Chose Miro
Way more user-friendly and easier to use than Microsoft products for collaboration. Permissions are easier to set than on SharePoint, multiple people can work on the same document without version control issues that often plague our teams. I will create an entire landing board …
Chose Miro
Miro is by far the best for visualization of processes. Nothing is quite like it, however for storing information and important files, I've tried to do this but it just doesn't work out as well as having clearly labeled and/or colored folders in SharePoint for example. Some …
Chose Miro
When it comes to process visualization, Miro is the finest by far. Nothing compares to it, however I've attempted to use it in place of properly labeled and/or colored folders in SharePoint, for example, and it just doesn't work out this way for keeping information and critical …
Chose Miro
I used Mural previously, but my organization went to Miro instead. I found it an easy transition.
Chose Miro
I find Miro to be a superior tool, other tools I have used became unresponsive or too slow to be effective in the roles and jobs I needed them to do. I am currently working in a Miro board with over 1000 discrete elements and it loads fast, I can maneuver and work with the …
Chose Miro
Miro is much more robust, easy to use and overall superior to Mural
Chose Miro
Generally speaking, Miro is the best choice for large group efforts when compared with the selected products. Miro Whiteboards allow for smooth and easy collaboration across multiple groups since many different file types can be uploaded and added to a space so other colleagues …
Chose Miro
Initially Mural was the preferred option, but ultimately, the only benefit Mural had the double click option to spawn new stickies, so we quickly went away from it since Miro had far more features that were useful to us. It's been a while since then to be fair.

Microsoft Teams' …
Chose Miro
Miro is so much easier to use with a mouse and keyboard. It is easier to create impactful diagrams and track tasks than any other product on the list. I can move faster and teach people to use the tool faster than any other option. Adding and connecting pics/screenshots is easy …
Chose Miro
I have not used anything similar to Miro! Really enjoy Miro capabilities because I have not seen anything close to it in the market yet.
Chose Miro
I used Microsoft Whiteboard as part of Microsoft 365, and found it did not have the necessary features I was used to using in Miro. I would not go back to using it.
Chose Miro
Easier to use, simple process with ready-to-use templates. Modern interface that doesn't look outdated. Love the stickers, we need more of them to express our feelings haha! Everyone knows Miro more than the other ones and access is easier for everyone. The interface is easy to …
Chose Miro
I wasn't involved in selecting Miro. Miro boards offer a more versatile digital workspace than Smartsheet. Smartsheet is better suited for creating Gantt charts and following task charts or workflows. Miro board allows a blank slate for associates to simultaneously record …
Chose Miro
I have not used many products like Miro. In the past, I have tried using OneNote, but the functionality is limited and frustrating. Occasionally, I have used Canva to organize more graphic design-focused projects, such as mood boards. But in general, my needs for Canva and Miro …
Chose Miro
Miro is easy to access online (doesn't have to download), has the exact function I need with well-built templates (calendar), and easily allows my manager to view my progress and calendar. It just seemed like the easiest thing that had all the aspects I needed, and I've had no …
Chose Miro
I think Miro is friendly. It also has more features, is easier to use and promotes more interaction.
Chose Miro
I will say Miro does miss out on the animation and interactivity that Genially has. I use both Miro and Genially a whole lot, never have thought to compare the two products, but they both have their strengths with limited flaws. I use both products very differently, e.g. I use G…
Chose Miro
MURAL is similar, but I do not like the restriction on the project size and number of panels - Miro reduces some of these unnecessary barriers. Otherwise, I don't remember the other big differences between the two very similar product.
I do think the naming is a little strange, …

Very user friendly. If you're already using M365 products it offers great integration! If you're using Azure AD it offers SSO for IAM and integrates nicely with Azure AD Groups which can then be used for Access management. As our IT / Azure Administrator, I particularly like the "sharing link" options where you can send a link with an expiration date and not have to remember to remove the link / access after a project / business case scenario is over.

Miro
As a virtual collaboration tool its awesome- Every team meeting we have, the relevant miro board is opened and actively added to. As a final design tool its not so good. Its limited in what can be built within Miro. (I don't feel thats the intention of the tool)

Cons
Microsoft
  • There are far too many good features to choose from, and advanced features are noticeably absent.
  • There is room for improvement in terms of integration with non-Microsoft products, as well as developer Story.
  • It is challenging to provide easier access via file explorer while also granting outside users and guests access.

Miro
  • I'd like to see the ability to link data or cards between boards to create dynamic dashboards
  • An auto locking feature, or a feature to lock everything that is not a notecard to prevent accidental movements
  • Being able to see the layers or create layers rather than just send to back or front - this could be improved

It's integral to our business. It's already included with most of the Office 365 licensing we buy, so the cost is effectively zero. It stores our files, it is the foundation for custom applications, and Microsoft only continues to enhance its functionality and its connections to other Microsoft tools. SharePoint just keeps getting better and better.

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
Microsoft
No usability issues reported. Individual teams also have allocated areas which replace legacy shared drives on local LANs. Access to Sharepoint resources is fully integrated with corporate Active Directory with additional two-factor authentication required for administrative users. Users have access to Microsoft Services Hub which allows you to create, manage, and track support requests while staying current on Microsoft technologies with access to select self-paced learning paths

Miro
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.

Miro
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.

Support Rating

Support for SharePoint is quite good. Microsoft provides good support. Microsoft offers
  • Quick turnaround time for issues
  • A range of support services
  • Access to a network of resources
  • Escalation of issues
  • Ongoing development and commitment to produce enhancement
The majority of support is required for initial installation. Once complete and the system is operating we have had very few support issues.

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.

The face to face training I received was on SharePoint Administration. It was rushed as there was a lot of information to cover and the application of the labs weren't that great either. I like to be able to relate what I am learning to what I am currently doing.

I like to learn at my own pace and online training allows for that. Additionally, you can skip through pieces of content that you already know or are already comfortable with. Microsoft actually offers great videos on their website for basic fundamental SharePoint Training. I have used these training videos in some of my own training sessions with end users.

Superb. very well explained videos. Really helps get the knowledge up on the product. The slides are divided into the topics of usage. I have enjoyed following and implementing all of these slides. The videos are well explained and it is easy to follow. There are tutorials that you can take yourself later. It would be nice however if more training modules were added.

The key aspects about implementing Miro that really made the entire implementation journey so smooth was how it integrated swiftly into our existing working infrastructure which included direct integration with most of the products we were already using. Customization of Miro to match the specifications of our needs was also easily possible.

The reasons for selecting MS SharePoint are: SharePoint provides ease of use and web design assistance and support SharePoint helps you schedule your content for publishing. enables users to share documents with external parties and offers a better internal structure of the content and better indexing and searching capabilities.

I prefer Miro over all, but then will use certain tools for specific use cases: Lucid - process work Menti - interactive polling and facilitated sessions UserVoice - crowdsourcing Trello - kanban boards (although Miro is pretty good with this too) Slido - live polling and facilitations.

Miro
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
Microsoft
  • Increased collaboration - MS Sharepoint has increased knowledge share and collaboration between departments. This saves time and energy because of its efficient and effective communication
  • Increased document security - MS Sharepoint has increased our document security so we're safer knowing that our documents are security and access controlled appropriately. We are less prone to get in trouble by our customers due to the security provided by MS Sharepoint
  • Negative Impact Compared to other software - Not sure if the MS Sharepoint's main functionalities could've been met with other tools we currently have
