I have used Slack, jira, and draw.io before. Slack is great for quick communication and Jira helps track tasks, but Miro stands out for its visual thingy. Unlike draw.io, Miro is more flexible and interactive also has better and flexible sticky or frames, allowing teams to …
I previously used Coda for documenting labelling rules and Google Jamboard for quick brainstorming. While using Coda, I always felt it was too text-heavy and too simplistic. Jamboard was visual but too shallow for structured mapping. Miro became the optimum choice for fast, …
It comes with a rich library of templates and facilitation features like timers and voting. But Miro is better in asynchronous mode. Also, the real-time collaboration between remote teams is better when we use Miro. In fact, I didn't try the tools and decided to use Miro. I …
Miro has been nice to use because there are fewer limitations allowing for more creativity and unrestricted freedom. It's also a nice touch to have a large variety of templates to choose from. However, Miro does have a bit more of a learning curve as most things that are more …
I have worked with Jamboard, but I found Miro to be much more flexible and feature rich. Miro has tons of templates you can use it has a corresponding set of collaboration capabilities with features like clustering sticky notes and voting. When it came to organizing a large …
My manager used Whimsical to draw up drawings quickly and efficiently. It was pretty good, but I think management of our company as a whole preferred Miro as its had more use-cases that fitted our needs.
As a visual person, I really appreciate that Miro already has templates for good looking boards. The selection of colours and the shapes, are perfect and it makes me more motivated to use the app as I actually enjoy what I'm looking at. Also, I find easier the way to expand …
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 …
Compared to Figma or FigJam, it's much easier to use for collaboration with users that are unfamiliar with design tools. This is where Miro really shines for UX teams that want to include non-designers into the ideation process. We have tried to use Figma collaboratively but …
We tested these tools and got some experience on them as well. But finally we cam to understand that Miro stood out by balancing structure with creativity, making it flexible enough for both system planning and cross-functional collaboration. So, Yes we tested so many tools …
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 …
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 …
Ease of use is a game-changer. Slack works so intuitively. People started collaborating automatically, and digital communities started to appear. We haven't seen that kind of engagement with other tools or workflows. It makes working together fun, and that is something that …
Slack offers a fresh look and feel, and has felt more natural and engaging when compared to Teams or Google Chat. Teams felt heavy and less intuitive while G Chat lacks integrations and community feel. Slack strikes a balance by being simple enough for everyday use while strong …
We decided to use Slack because it felt like a more accessible version of Teams for our younger team. It was better on mobile and felt more like the messaging platform we needed at the time. It didn't have all the extras that we didn't need, either, so the price was right for …
Much simpler and more pleasant to use than the alternatives. Provides integrations, with external services, that work out of the box which is often an Achilles heel of competitive solutions. Pricing is unfortunately not that great when compared to alternatives that come in a …
The level of complexity for Power users is unparalleled in Asana. The only advantage Google Chat has is its linkage with Gmail, another indispensable tool. Google's meetings are better and connectivity-related issues are fewer. Microsoft Teams too is similar to Google Chat is …
I used to like Slack better than teams for a long time. Only after using Teams for few years and returning back to Slack on another organization, I can see the main differences and between them. None of them is perfect, MS Team is more deeply connected to your SP sites and in …
I think Slack is way better for chatting than Google, 100%! I think Team works great, but it might be tricky to use at its fullest capacity. Slack is more intuitive and easy to adapt to workflows. It's great that you can connect even with people outside your organization …
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.
Slack is great for tracking commits to new coding projects. You can take parts of code that still need to be implemented later and easily search through the history of comments if there is something that goes wrong with a code commitment. It can be difficult for people that only like Teams to adjust to a new platform if you are using both to communicate.
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.
Would love a better integration with GitHub. For example, notifications when your PR is updated, when review is requested, @-mention in comments, etc.
Improved "Later" tab, for example the ability to create to-do lists or making the "Later" tab into a more powerful to-do list (annotate items with notes)
More powerful integrations, e.g. Google Calendar could render a calendar view within Slack, rather than sending the daily schedule
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
To be more transparent, I give 10 because Slack serves our collaboration needs. It provide us a good platform for team communication relaying important update within the company, it has even mobile app where you can install in your phone to monitor any updates within that team that needs your immediate attention and intervention.
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
My rating was 7. Its intuitive interface and user-friendly features like channels, threads, and integrations make it excellent for team communication and onboarding. However, its usability is held back by the resource-intensive desktop app and cluttered feeling in large workspaces. The mobile app's performance and unreliable notifications have also been noted as weaknesses.
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.
Yes, the app works 24/7. I don't even recall having any period that we could not use since the implementation. Even the maintenance periods are barely noticeable and our work is not impacted by it when it happens.
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
Slack is a soft app, we don't have many issues with it. I recall one or two people complaining about something during our usage period, but I didn't have a bad experience. When the app is slow, usually the problem is with my computer or my internet. The app works just fine.
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
Whenever I've had to troubleshoot an issue with Slack (which, to be honest, has not happened very often), their online documentation has been easy to locate, easy to understand, and effective in resolving my issue. Slack's ever-growing popularity also means that there's a large community of practice out there that can be depended upon.
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.
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.
I like Slack better than ClickUp, because I would spend 30-60 minutes a day updating my ClickUp tasks. The way ClickUp was used was very micromanaging. I billed by the hour, so I was willing to put in the time to alert the boss what tasks I was working on.
One of my jobs used Hive - I mostly just ran it in the background in case anyone messaged me. I did not use it often.
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
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!
Slack has been incredibly helpful in connecting various tech apps and ecosystems, creating a more streamlined and responsive process.
Slack has made it significantly easier to communicate with our team members across multiple time zones, creating a more engaging environment for our all-remote team.
