Miro vs. Stormboard

I will always recommend Miro for most collaboration and visual workshops or meetings. Often I use it as a great cut and paste whiteboard to collect information / insights or even analyse interviews with customers. It's great for visual thinkers/learners. I won't recommend Miro as a planning tool with deadlines, as a CRM replacement (most of the time) or a follow up tool. Nor as a dashboard, but great as a 'design'/discussion tool for how that dashboard should look/work.

Ready to use template makes Stormboard very easy to use and gives a seamless experience to the user. It is very useful when brainstorming ideas, and solutions for a particular use case. It sometimes gives solutions to the problems we might not have thought about yet. The on-the-go whiteboard gives us a blank slate for new ideas and more collaborations.

• Allows for multiple people to use the same board at the same time.
• Low barrier to entry - very easy to understand how to add information to a sticky even for non-tech-savvy people.
• Easy to create designs from a blank canvas.
• Can add in other documents (images, pdfs) easily and include them in the brainstorm.

Incentivized

• Manage Key Assets for Each Meeting
• Visually present the stakeholders and requirements
• Embed multimedia in all sections
• Present a clear layout of the meeting
• Inform everyone involved of their responsibilities
• Great interfase and easy to export
• Quickly make changes to the structure of the meeting
• The mobile app is easy to use

• Support for Japanese text is lacking needs to improve. Sticky notes below a certain character threshold do not have their text automatically resized to fill the note, causing legibility issues.
• I feel the generative AI features are attempting to do my work for me, not help me do my own work myself. I've yet to encounter a Gen AI function that didn't just lengthen the amount of time a task required.
• I can't see a way for more than one facilitator to access admin functions like showing/hiding frames, changing music, starting the timer, etc.

Incentivized

• Sometimes difficult to find items on the board if they're not in the centre
• Zooming in and out can often mean things get overlooked
• Occasionally uploaded documents vanish

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.

I would rate Miro's overall usability a 10 as well. The platform's intuitive design and user-friendly interface make it incredibly easy to navigate and use, even for those who are new to it. The drag-and-drop functionality, along with a wide range of templates and tools, allows for seamless collaboration and creativity. Additionally, the real-time collaboration features enable our team to work together efficiently, regardless of location. The integration with other tools we use daily further enhances our workflow, making Miro an indispensable part of our toolkit. Overall, Miro's usability has significantly improved our productivity and collaboration, making it a top choice for our team.

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.

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.

As per current org we are using it as a Enterprise plan and it's very easy to implement for the larger team! Based on the team requirement we provide user and role based access control which is Miro does perfectly! We integrated it with Jira software for use cases purpose. We also integrated with Slack tool and establishing workflows. We manage the org level etiquette.

Miro is the best product out of these options for collaborative brainstorming and presentation. Miro has the best organization tools when it comes to tables, kanban, etc. all in one place alongside a visual workboard. Each of these products beats Miro at specific aspects, but Miro is the best overall product for simultaneously and asynchronously coordinating a creative project with a medium sized team.

I use Stormboard for coordination because it seems easier to use than the rest. In terms of courses, we choose the software depending on our course objectives and how tech-savvy we believe the prof and audience are. Miro is more complete, I believe, it has a ton of features and templates.

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.

• I can't speak to improvement; I can only talk to it about enabling what was previously impossible: collaboration on whiteboarding activities and diagram building.
• the ROI has been increasing visibility on important topics to my team with other teams.
• Not sure about ROI, but having Miro or not is the difference between doing business or not for me.

Incentivized

• + affordable collaboration tool
• - not intuitive enough --> other tools were preferred
• - not flexible enough (section feature was a bummer)
