Breakout rooms are a very good feature that should be added to the platform. Google Meet ranks above Teams on the web, as it's pretty lightweight; Teams tries to do so much, making it very slow or unstable when just using the web version. Teams is superior to Zoom when it comes …
Microsoft Teams offers a much more integrated experience between their chat and video call function compared to Google Chat and Slack. Both other tools are much better for internal communications are they have simpler UI without other features. Whereas Microsoft Teams can be …
Seamless integration with different files saved on OneDrive that are automatically compatible with Microsoft Teams. Ability to create different types of groups with different security levels allowing to keep the company data secured and project an organized system and processes …
We use both Slack and Teams. We use Slack for most internal meetings and chats. We only use Teams because our larger company requires it, and many of our external customers already have it installed. If we could get customers to use Slack, we would drop Teams in a heartbeat. If …
Personally, I believe that Microsoft Teams stands tall against all of its competitors. What I value most that it brings ahead of its competitors is its options for customization; the modern look and feel of its user interface; the security that it exemplifies; and its …
I love slack and the functionality it has! However, it lets itself down that you can't have client meetings through it / need to use another app like google meet for the meetings. It just is more apps/logins needed for employees = time that could be used doing other things.
I think Teams is closest to Slack but much more ubiquitous and also much more user friendly. I do think products like Webex and Zoom seem to have a little more preference for large scale meetings and it's based mostly on reliability and usability. In addition, Teams tie it …
The advantage of using Microsoft Teams over Zoom is that Teams seamlessly works with Outlook Calendar, Outlook Email, Lists, Forms, etc. If I create a Zoom meeting, I will have to do twice as much work. Working at a Microsoft 365 organization, it is more convenient to use a …
Microsoft Teams is Microsoft's modern replacement for Skype for Business, offering significantly enhanced, integrated collaboration beyond Skype's core chat and calling with deep integration into the Microsoft 365 suite, persistent chat channels, advanced meeting features (like …
The two products are similar. Zoom has its place in the workplace. It is different from Microsoft Teams. It is more useful for personal use in our environment. Most outside organizations and individuals will have the capability to obtain the product and connect with an entity …
Zoom was the first virtual web program I used, and I still use it for some parts of my job, but I like how chat is included with Teams. Our whole department isn't in the same building, so it is convenient to send a message instead of picking up the phone or even just sending an …
UI is so much smooth to use. As we have to use this collaboration tool daily for connecting with team members Microsoft Teams give mor smooth experience. Everything is categorized on different tab, chat, teams, calander, calls. We can easily navigate through out the …
Microsoft Teams is better than both Zoom and Google Meets to me. It seems to have the functionality of both these platforms and also that of Slack for internal messaging. It's more of a "one-stop-shop" for both these needs which makes it a handy piece of software for use in the …
They have similar features, but Microsoft Teams works relatively seamlessly with other MS products that we also use such as Office and MS To Do. Microsoft Teams is easy to set up an share meetings with both internally and externally. Microsoft Teams also gives us more options …
Miro allows for more freedom when facilitating remote lessons and workshops that require lots of participant interaction and drawing diagrams. Other diagramming tools require learning how to use it. Same with design prototyping tools.
We evaluated so many tools before jumping to Miro. Those tools would be Mural, Google Jamboard and Notions. Google Jamboard was easy to use but it was more suitable for basic brainstorming. Notion is excellent for documentation and knowledge management. Mural was a good choice …
Miro is faster to enter as a free tier and good enough for freelancers or very small teams. Also, FigJam does not include a UI library like Miro. Whimsical is the closest competitor.
There are many reasons and its different for each. FigJam provides excellent experience for design focused collaboration and it works particularly well since we are pretty invested in the Figma ecosystem. Jira and Jira product discovery are valuable for tracking execution and …
we had tried draw.io, figjam google whiteboard earlier as well so they work well for basic, but Miro is the easier and more functionality than these apps. in the Miro have the more feature like real time editing and team collaboration and remote team, so Miro is better …
Miro is well-suited to our organization, offering many features not available in the above-mentioned software. The above-mentioned software is not up to the mark compared to Miro, and Miro is better than Draw.io. So, we stopped using Draw.io and shifted to Miro.
I have used Figma and an Excel sheet to brainstorm and create diagrams. Both are useful, but I found Miro to be more flexible when working with large groups and other types of projects. What I like most about Miro is that it brings all our tasks into a single workspace, like …
Miro is far superior to Mural (and I used to be a heavy Mural user a few years ago). The rate of innovation at Miro has helped the product blow Mural out of the water.
Miro stacks below Figma for me. I only selected Miro because that is what my company uses. However, I think they chose Miro over Figma because they are more interested in collaborative features than in the prototyping that Figma prioritizes. They also probably chose Miro …
I selected Miro because it combines all work and user friendly with powerfull functionality and features. It helps to create the perfect planning, meeting with clinet or other teams, creating new disigns and diagrams.
Miro is a more flexible product than the others I've used. I find it's interference to be more flexible and feature rich while simultaneously being easier to use.
I already mentioned this, but Miro is good for non-designers to get onboard easier for team building and collaboration. Designers tend to use tools we are comfortable with and can easily switch tabs in one software
While the Microsoft products are useful, Miro has been easier to collaborate on larger whiteboards. Both MS and Miro are available to me and we don't have a "standard" to use Miro, but in my case for my part of the project, a team member chose Miro and I was happy with the …
We also tried Figma, MS Whiteboard, Google Forms, and Notion. Compared to these platforms, Miro felt more flexible for our team collaboration. We liked how simple it was to organize our ideas, create workflows, and collaborate with our team members. We selected Miro because it …
I think Miro is more comprehensive but has a slightly steeper learning curve. But since it is meant for complex scenarios, the learning curve is worth it. Maybe a simple mode might help new users.
It comes down to simplicity really and having everything in one place. I wouldnt use Miro for shot tracking and iterations reviews as thats fsr more a place for ftrack or shotgrid. But for the planning of a project in its initial stages and keeping everyone on the same page …
It's amazing as a daily driver for team communication, and document search/store. Also, if you're doing a lot of LONG meetings and have trouble remembering details, the AI summarization is amazing and convenient. It just works. I'm not saying I always do this, of course, but if I need to 'skim' instead of really digging into every detail from a meeting, the AI-generated summary is generally good enough that I can get away with it.
For me, the greatest joy is watching a messy tangle of abstract thoughts instantly click into place. I can quickly drag in colorful sticky notes, connect them with smooth lines, and watch a beautiful, structured workflow come to life right before my eyes. It takes the stress out of alignment by letting everyone see the big picture immediately.
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.
The webinars feature has some missing functionally such as the ability for all users to use the Q&A feature (only those with a Microsoft Teams account can use it now), the ability to upload documents for attendees to easily access and download, and the ability for presenters and organizers to easily chat amongst themselves throughout the webinar.
The "Channels" organization hierarchy could be more clear. If you have several channels set up, it can get clunky and hard to find the specific channel you are looking for.
The MS Planner tool lacks functionality and organization. You cannot assign more than one person to a task and it's confusing when you try to share tasks with people - it would be nice if they were automatically added to someone's calendar.
Microsoft Teams is included with our Office 365 subscription and we have no intention of migrating off of Office 365 and Microsoft products. Since Microsoft Teams is included for free with our Office 365 subscription, and since we enjoy all the features, benefits, and functionality, there is no question that our team will continue to use the product
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
I find that the chat function itself is quite clean, but once you incorporate the rest of the UI it becomes quite clunky. It feels as though there's too many features in one place, and that leads to it becoming convoluted and a little bit tedious to use. Due to that notifications can get missed which can lead to some tricky situations when working. I do find that it is easy to pick up though and help is readily available with a good support centre.
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.
The overall support provided by Microsoft for Microsoft Teams has been quite good but there is still some room for improvements. Microsoft needs to proactively work on fixing the open bugs in order to provide a seamless experience to the users. But over the service and experience provided by the Microsoft team have been quite satisfactory.
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.
Breakout rooms are a very good feature that should be added to the platform. Google Meet ranks above Teams on the web, as it's pretty lightweight; Teams tries to do so much, making it very slow or unstable when just using the web version. Teams is superior to Zoom when it comes to chat and integration with other platforms.
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.
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.
