Chose Miro
Trello is nice for task tracking, I might like it even more (sorry), but then it is only limited to task tracking, you cannot do all the cool stuff in one place like in Miro. So it depends on whether you only need to move cards around, or you also need to see the whole picture …
Chose Miro
Miro surpasses Jamboard, Trello, and Zen Mind Map by combining whiteboarding, planning, and mind mapping in one platform. Miro offers real-time collaboration, templates, and integrations make it ideal for cross-functional teams. I chose Miro for its flexibility, visual …
Chose Miro
We ran a business case analysis for these, and they didn't come close. Visual omnipresent collaboration is a must; list of different features is way longer in Miro; Kanban and its views is less clunky and requires less fiddling out of the box — Trello needed to be set up …
Chose Miro
My experience is that I've used Trello similar to Jira and Confluence. It's more for task organizations and resourcing. For draw.io, I've used it for visual representations of flowcharts and diagrams. Finally, for Miro, I use it for both purposes and for other design tasks that …
Chose Miro
Miro felt like a nice middle ground between something like Figma, and something like Trello. It was sleek and easy to use without a huge learning curve to get everyone on board.
Chose Miro
I started with Trello when I was a student because the teacher showed me how to use it at work.

6 years later I started a marketing agency 100% remote. After we hired 3 designers we wanted to improve our productivity and make life easier for some clients, so we switched to figme …
Chose Miro
Miro does a lot more than each of these separately, but I like the easier integration of the microsoft products with the microsoft presentation.
Chose Miro
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 …
Chose Miro
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 …
Chose Miro
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 …
Chose Miro
Miro has always been my goat. I have been using it since it came out and I don't think I could ever choose any of the other ones. It's so much better to see the other people work simultaneously as you and communicating with them and copy and pasting in and out of each other's …
Chose Miro
Compared to its competitors, Miro's simplified user interface minimalistic, offers some customization, and has some great keyboard shortcuts.
Chose Miro
We selected Miro because it is more flexible than all the other tools we compared against, easier to use, and the interface is beautiful.
Chose Miro
Way better! More functionality, amaazing templates, easy to use, possibility to do so much int he tool.
Chose Miro
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 …
Chose Miro
Compared to Visio, I found Miro's UI a lot more friendly and easy to use, it was not "clunky" as Visio, and its overall presentation was just nicer and more pleasant to use. Miro had a lot more features and templates available as well. I think overall, it was the look and feel, …
Chose Miro
It offers a clean,intuitive and easy to navigate platform and also it’s price is more reasonable compared to other similar platforms.
Chose Miro
I put Google Sheets as a competitor, as you can use it to organize ideas, I guess? But, it does not hold a candle to Miro. Miro is a top-notch program for creatives and for people who express themselves through a more visual medium. Anything you can do on a whiteboard, you can …
Trello
Chose Trello
I don't feel that Trello stacks up to these other tools as well. I used to use Trello much more in the past and, over the last 5 years, have consistently used it less and less because it is easier to stay within the workflow of the tools I listed above.
Chose Trello
For our purposes and my role in the business, Trello is simpler and easier to use. I found Jira very hard to navigate to individual projects, and the process of creating a card was very time-consuming. That said, I think Jira performs a number of roles that Trello doesn't, and …

For teams or individuals with lots of individual tasks/details to track, Trello is perfect! It basically removes the need for a paper checklist. For those that need an overall project management tool that requires less tasks and more overarching goals, collaboration amongst various teams, and gantt charts I would suggest monday.com

Pros
Miro
  • 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.

  • Helps track employees "to do before hire", "to do after hired," and "to do when employee leaves"
  • Provides important information on each employee like personal information along with data collected during the time of hire and during employment time
  • Allows more than one person to be assigned to a task per employee and will remain open until everyone involved has completed their task

Cons
Miro
  • 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.

  • I use colour coding a lot so I would like a wider range of colour options.
  • Also as a visual thinker I would like to be able to easily add images to cards.

Likelihood to Renew
Miro
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

I am very likely to renew Trello, because it doesn't cost anything to do so. I am also very likely to use Trello's upgraded features in the future because a lot of my team's data is stored on there and they have already gotten used to the platform. Trello is very easy for new team members to pick up, making the onboarding and usability very streamlined.

Usability
Miro
I would rate Miro an 8 out of 10 for overall usability. It's easy to use and has lots of features for making the work easier. I can drag nodes, connect ideas and comment in real time without explaining much to anyone because every member of all the teams have access. For labelling schema design and maths concept mapping, it is incredibly perfect. However, issues related to lag when many nodes introduced and absence of LaTeX making complex equation writing hectic, are of great concern. If those issues were resolved, it's an easy 10.

Trello is incredibly intuitive, both on desktop and mobile right away. It is also full of helpful features that make it even easier to use, and is flexible enough to suit almost any organizational need. Onboarding for the software is thorough, but concise, and the service is frequently updated with even more QOL improvements.

Reliability and Availability
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.

Performance
Miro
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

Support Rating
Miro
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

I haven't reached out to their support very often and their support is very limited anyway for the free users. They do have tons of great articles and videos in their Help Center and constantly send emails with updates and add-ons to the product. The fact that I've barely ever had to contact their support team means that they've developed a great product.

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.

For our small business, getting a few of us started well on Trello was the key, I think. As long as a couple of us were really comfortable with the interface, we could lead others and help them with any questions. From now on, anyone who works with us just naturally uses Trello for information sharing - it's just part of what we do.

I would say on par, but a better value than Mural, hence why our company changed contracts. And, at this time, much better than Microsoft Whiteboard. With that being said, Microsoft has a lot of money to throw at it to add more features and obviously syncs with other office programs. It may be something from a feature standpoint to look at.

Trello is more simple and not as "robust" as the other tools, but it's easier to use and manage and understand and ACTUALLY get stuff done with. It's simplicity is part of the beauty of using it. You don't need a million options that nobody uses, you just need to get stuff done.

Return on Investment
Miro
  • I currently save around two to three hours a week now doing administrative tasks. It has saved the need for sending some emails and holding meetings.
  • I trust that I won't miss anything from my team now that we are all in sync with this tool. No more pouring over document comments in Office 365, Emails, Jira tasks, etc. It's all in one place, and can combine all of those other tools there as well with its elegant linking approach.
  • Starting projects and leading others is easy with these persistent and real time updates during meetings. No more "circling back on that point" because it is addressed right now!

  • Trello keeps me organized, focused, and on track. I could filter the Trello board to only see my issues and understand what I needed to work on and when.
  • Trello helped our team implement an agile structure. It's a very simple kanban method of viewing all of your team's tasks and statuses. You can completely customize the columns to your team's specific workflow and create tags relevant to your work.
  • Trello helps reduce unnecessary communications between teams. When I want to request translations, I simply create a card on the localization Trello board -- no need to directly message anyone on the team, and I can watch the status of the card change from "in progress" to "in review" to "translated," all without having to directly ask for updates.
