Considered Both Products	Balsamiq Sumit Kadam Associate Product Manager in Product Management at ZS Associates (Computer Software, 10,001+ employees) Chose Balsamiq Balsamiq is lagging a lot as compared to Figma but it's comparable with respect to MockFlow. Also, Figma is a full stack solution in designing and hence it was an overkill of my role. Balsamiq is easier to use & know in the industry and hence that helped in decision making.

Miro Olivia Miller Information Technology Manager and Admin Coordinator in Information Technology at Southern Illinois University Carbondale Center for Workforce Development (Information Technology & Services, 11-50 employees) Chose Miro We have replaced Microsoft Visio with Miro. I still do a lot of my wireframes in Balsamiq. However, I do plan on looking into Miro wireframe to see if it has what I need to switch to using it as my primary tool for putting together wireframes and presenting them to stakeholders … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Miro I receive value for all the Lucidchart and Balsamiq with Miro. When it comes to Figma, I believe Miro is not doing up-to-the-mark work. Meanwhile, I do believe it won't be long before I see the Figma-type feature implemented in Miro. Overall, I think Miro has done an amazing … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Miro Like Miro for process flow diagram. Prefer Balsamiq for wireframing. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Miro Miro is easier on the eyes, and I prefer it by FAR. We use Confluence whiteboards when our team faces Miro access issues (usually new team members), but Miro is way more dynamic and organized. It also has more templates and features to make our documents and boards look how we … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Miro It's better. I used to be a Mural fan when Miro first launched, but Miro immediately outpaced Mural in terms of performance, ease of use, and killer features. There was a time where mapping complex systems required a lot of custom shape creation in Visio, especially when the … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Miro I still use the other two for different reasons. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Miro I have a hard time building out triangles, arrows and radius buttons in Miro which is often frustrating and makes the low fidelity look less professional Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Miro looks more modern Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Miro Miro stacks up really well with these tools or it complement them well. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Miro Miro, to me, is a one-stop-shop whereas some of the other players go deeper in their disciplines. I consider Miro as a generalist (as opposed to a specialist) and it works well when you wish to work with a cross-functional team to get things rolling. I wouldn't use it to … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Miro I've used Mural before in training as a guest user, and I've found that the user experience seems to be easier than with Miro. Looking at Klaxoon, I used it a few times as a guest user and I liked it, especially the feature of being able to follow the facilitator of the session … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Miro It offers many features we used in the past across different products. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Miro I've tried and churned a lot of products in recent years. Even the products that closely compete with Miro, but it has been the stickiest for me, personally. The feature set this big and diverse with the simpleness and low learning curve involved, Miro has been an easy winner … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Miro Of course, Above maintained products are not Replacing the Miro and they are solving different problems for us, but there are also a lot of similarities between the products. like Prototyping or collaborating through Figma Boards Incentivized Helpful? Jose Alavez Engineering Manager in Engineering at Klarna (Banking, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Miro Miro covers all the functionality that all the other products offer, in some cases even better. It's a one-stop shop. Incentivized Helpful?
