I'm from a graphic design background and Miro truly wins point for its look. Its cool and not overwhelming. Without mentionning the video calls and the slideshow that doesnt exist in any competitor. This makes it the perfect tool for a facilitator
I personally tested Microsoft Visio and Mural for the same work that we do now with Miro. These tools were good but were not offering all the features in the same place. Other than that these application felt like slow to me if we compare them with Miro that is why gave my …
Miro is simpler than Figma without sacrificing many features. It has also been much easier for me to share Miro boards with teammates who may not have Miro installed. With Figma, we'd often encounter issues when sharing a board with non-Figma users. Aside from getting signed up …
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.
Workamajig was selected over a decade ago when there were very few project management platforms that has integrations with other platforms, support for Agile, KanBan, etc etc. Most of the other offerings did not offer the type of security available with us hosting an on …
Workamajig definitely isn't the prettiest among the project management tools I've used, nor does it have the friendliest UX/UI. But it does have some advantages when it comes to automating tasks in a schedule, automatically replacing versions of files with the same name and …

Chose Workamajig
We've used QuickBooks and it didn't align well with our business, so there were a lot of insights I wanted from the numbers, but couldn't get. We use Basecamp, which is easy, but can get disorganized pretty quickly and takes discipline to stay structured.
WMJ is a fully integrated system. Accounting, time management, invoicing, project management, estimating, sales CRM, all occur in one integrated package. This is ultimately why we selected WMJ. Other packages do portions of the workflow well but don't always integrate via …
Workamajig was definitely a lot easier to keep track of projects, timesheets, and out of office calendars all in one. ClickUp and Zoho were good for project management but JIG definitely has more to offer and it's a little easier to clean. Keeping track of campaigns is much …
Personally WMJ is my least favorite project management program of those I've used in jobs past, but it was not my decision to use it and I believe our company has been utilizing it for many, many years. To be fair and put this in perspective, my interactions with WMJ probably …
Customization and Project Request submission were two of the biggest draws that our organization valued back when our contract with Workamajig started. Those two features were deemed more important than some of its inadequacies. However, the project management products have …
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.
I think this holds true to almost any CRM, but if you want to truly utilize it you sort of need to go all in. This can become tough with WMJ because it doesn't offer some critical options that many other CRMs do, like the ability to create and send emails, e-newsletters, to throttle and invite outside clients to look at projects, etc. As such we're pairing Workamajig with Hubspot (and slowly phasing out Mailchimp) and trying to keep the data clean and flowing between them all is pretty tough. I'm also not aware of any API bridge from Wordpress to Workamajig so while I can program and feed my leads from my site into the other spaces, Workamajig remains a manual entry for any insertions you want, even if simply as a CSV import.
But - if you're not worried about that and simply want to manage projects, budget time, and scope things, it's a robust system allowing you to do so.
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.
Auto-schedule population - The most inconvenient thing about using JIG was that the dates wouldn't auto-populate. Example: I move the review date but the rest of the dates stay the same. Depending on each project level, if one date is adjusted the rest should update as well. That way we aren't spending a lot of time moving dates around manually.
Notifications - JIG should have desktop notifications so we can see when tasks are on us even when we aren't in JIG.
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
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.
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.
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.
We've used QuickBooks and it didn't align well with our business, so there were a lot of insights I wanted from the numbers, but couldn't get. We use Basecamp, which is easy, but can get disorganized pretty quickly and takes discipline to stay structured.
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.
The subscription expense and IT overhead has been substantial. That being said at the time of implementation, most other competing platforms were in line with their pricing.
As more competitive alternatives have come to market we would have probably gone with an entirely cloud base alternative at a lower price.
We ended up with ClickUp as our primary project management platform. If our finance/accounting software wasn't already so integrated with Workamjig we would probably switch to it entirely.
