Microsoft Teams is a complementary tool I used in my software panel. So it can cover many cases where partners are not using the same tools as the ones used in my firm. It is a complementary tool with other ones like Miro, Slack, and Jira, for example, in order to facilitate …

Chose Microsoft Teams
Teams is the best of the company message tools that I have used so far because it integrates so many functionalities. Teams goes way beyond the instant messaging or video calls features with screen-sharing. It integrated with your calendar, enables you to do task tracking (e.g. …
User experience is of a higher level and integrates well into Outlook. Using the tool to facilitate user testing with participants outside the company is a breeze too.
Moving to Microsoft Teams from IBM Sametime chat services provided Intact a great ahead into the productivity and response times for both internal and external customers/brokers. Sametime doesn't have the capability to make voice calls from either a desktop or a mobile app …
The whiteboard from Microsoft Teams is not as responsive and it causes issues when multiple members are editing the same e.g. sticky notes simultaneously. We have also tried the one from monday.com, but it is also not as powerful, and I think it got deprecated eventually.
Mural is close in capability but was used at a previous company. Miro had first-mover advantage. Microsoft Teams has its own Whiteboard app which does get usage within the company by several people because it's cost is included in the company's Microsoft Teams subscription. …
We use Jira in other departments and some IT folks put content out on Confluence but I don't find it was user friendly as Miro and harder to log in and access. I use the Miro downloaded desktop app which serves me well and easier than going to a web site. I formerly was a heavy …
Miro is leaps and bounds ahead of One note in terms of functionality, useability and collaboration. OneNote can be useful for taking basic notes or working on something individually but i would never use for anything visual or collaborative.
These two alternative products provide a smoother UI experience. They are more suited for engineering diagrams. However, Miro seems to be better for collaboration, whiteboard, and sticky note experience.
It's challenging to describe how Miro stacks up against every other product listed above. Some are more relevant at different stages of the design realisation journey, some are more hyperfocused to certain usecases.
Trello for example; I found myself creating Kanban boards in …
It excels in intuitive operation, has a wealth of tools and templates, and is equipped with AI features, making its behavior feel natural. I have only used Microsoft Whiteboard for comparison, and it lacked all of these features.
click up is known for its visual product, project management and collaboration features it integrates task projects and communication all in one platform but overall I think Miro is a more efficient tool plus more and Mural is ideal for visual collaboration and creative …
I haven't tried Mural in a very long time - probably more than half a decade. But when we first started using Miro (Back when it was still Realtime Board!), at that point Mural was more expensive and didn't feel as usable or had all the tooling that Miro did.
I didn't make the decision in my company to use Miro, but I've used Mural in school and prefer Miro. Funcitonally, they're very similar, but I feel like Miro is more polished. However, Miro is the first tool I've used and the one I've used the most, so I'm a little bit biased.
I actually love them both. But, Miro has an advantage in the company I work with. There we have both business people that are not at all accustomed wit Figma, but are well versed with Miro. With Miro, its easier to conduct workshops outside of the tech and design team.
Miro fits arbitrarily into any communications platform, but the direct integration could be stronger. Miro is more full-featured than the whiteboard features in Zoom or Teams. draw.io and Visio are a more single-user experience.
Very similar but Miro was easier to use, and from what I see/hear from marketing reassuringly remains the market leader. With the new apps/features it's easy to see why.
Miro offers a better user experience and options, in my opinion. While the other tools each had their strong point, it was good to find a great product like Miro that offers to do it all in one centralized location. It's almost plug and play with a very straightforward setup. …
Miro is by far the market leader in whiteboarding tools. It can sometimes feel overly complex for the task in hand but when you are used to all the features you are glad they are there. I like the simplicity of FigJam as a direct competitor, but sometimes need the additional …

monday.com is a useful tool but unlike Miro it is basically used for project management and tracking deadline. It does not have the capabilities of Visual Planning like Miro has. Microsoft Whiteboard is also used for collaborative brainstorming, and planning. However, Miro is …
Lucid is the closest in functionality, but we find it is easier to "guest" in contractors and other external contributors using Miro. Visio is useful for architecture diagrams, but the online colloboration and it's usefulness for other use cases mean that it is used less. Figm…
Positive: The virtual workspace created for a work team within the same company, for the resemblance of information and communications in one place.Negative: The access for members of a non-profit organization who have external emails from the host but need the same access as an internal person since their volunteer work is part of the very core of the federation.
Based on my experience, as previously mentioned Miro shines for remote workshop design and facilitation. As a facilitator I value simple but effective tools such as the timer, locking/hiding assets, voting features which remove group bias. Focusing on heat mapping and dot voting features would be beneficial to support facilitators in their practice and remove what feels like manual effort at times. Wireframing is limited but still very accessible for non-designers, at times I have observed increased engagement from non-designers using Miro's wireframing tools vs pen and paper (sketching) which in theory should level the playing field for all disciplines but can make others nervous they are being judged for their drawing skills. I love whiteboarding in person with my team to jump in and problem solve, having a primarily remote team means this isn't always possible and so Miro fills that gap.
The feature of notifications in the mobile application could be improved. Sometimes notifications of different teams are not visible and are only visible when the application is opened.
It uses lots of computational resources while running and thus, slows down the system sometimes.
It allows a few channels per team. The number of channels could be increased for better productivity.
Leveraging content on one board across multiple boards could be more user-friendly. I believe this is a new feature, so maybe I just hadn't figured it out yet.
I wish Miro could use info from another source but (e.g. a document stored in SharePoint) keep the link to that source so that if the source document changes, the doc in Miro would show an out-of-date icon and can be synced (manually or automatically as a preference or action).
I wish Miro would allow us to place a watermark on the screen. We'd like to brand our workshops with our company logo (and maybe the client's logo) and/or a custom message (like "proprietary info - do not copy") in a corner or edge of the screen.
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
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.
User experience has been much better than the previous Skype for Business app. It has an easy-to-use interface with persistent chats. The search feature is very fast and useful. MS Teams has mostly focused on Collaboration and team building features which are very useful for organizational communications. Since Teams is accessible from multiple platforms like Laptop, Desktop, Mobile phones, etc it has been very convenient from a Mobility perspective.
I use Miro every day, and it’s extremely intuitive and flexible.It allows me to organize ideas, collaborate with my team in real time, and present projects seamlessly — all in one place.The user interface is clean and easy to navigate, even for people who are new to the tool.It adapts to different needs, from brainstorming to project delivery, which makes it essential to my daily work.
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.
Using Microsoft Teams has resulted in much faster business communications with both co-workers and consultants. There has been little need for support with this software as the interface is very intuitive and the product is overall very well designed. We did encounter an issue with the built-in phone service, however, this was quickly resolved by the support team.
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.
Our company and IT department previously used Skype for our communication needs. Skype was not dependable in my opinion, because it seems each time I used it during a call and/or a meeting, I and several other team members would get disconnected more than once. This caused a great interruption of our meeting, caused team members to have to ask others to repeat themselves and caused a general lack of interest in employee attendance during meetings.
Both are great collaborative tools but Miro has a wide range of templates to chose from. Additionally, its real-time collaborative capabilities allows a large group of participants to engage real-time which is ideal for brainstorming sessions, discussion boards and group projects. Regarding integration with other tool, Miro seamlessly does it with third party apps allowing users to use it maximally.
Honestly, this tool is worth every penny. Yes, it's not free and you pay for the quality of services and the license. But the ROI and the benefits are all there. Also, the renewal, negotiation, and contract terms are all very well explained by our Microsoft account manager, and she's a charm.
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
I used Skype for Business to take calls, hold conferences, and provide remote assistance to users. Microsoft Teams, on the other hand, is superior to Skype for Business in my opinion. My job entails a lot of screen sharing.
