    Cost effectiveness and while Miro is good for collaboration and sprint and PI planning, I think its too open-ended. Easy to get lost in a board. Snagit is my go-to tool but it is not a collaborative tool. If I could combine Snagits tools with Invisions look/feel...that would be …

    I actually have access to all three. And I use all three for different things, though truthfully, I could probably get away with just using Figma. I'm not sure how InVision Freehand is better than Miro or Figma. But we already own it, so it has made sense for me to use it in …

    Miro (formerly Realtime Board) is the original product concept for this tool and I used it for 3-4 years for product development. Invision is aesthetically a carbon copy of the tool but lacks in fine usability controls. We actually didn't choose Freehand, it just came as an …

    One of the key differentiators between Miro and Freehand is that after a certain number of users Miro is a paid subscription plan, which can be unattractive. Freehand has many of the same features, and in my opinion, features a better UI for easy maneuvering. However, Miro does …

    Miro is the main competitor I have used. It is extremely similar to Freehand but I like Freehand more because we do a lot of our prototyping and design in InVision so it is more of a one-stop shop for me. I also enjoy the different types of templates in Freehand, a few of them …

    Honestly, Zoom and Teams don't compare for their whiteboarding. Mainly because those are glitchy and unreliable. I've tried using them in meetings and especially with Zoom (maybe because they are newer) it loads and freezes up. I like to be "on it" in meetings and can't have …

    The two other platforms that people have tried to get us to use are Figma and Miro. Since we have been using InVision Freehand it works much better for our teams and is within the InVision environment that we are familiar with. The InVision Freehand tools and user interface are …

    Feels better and more intuitive than Miro, however, FigJam would be my ultimate go-to just because Figma is the software that I am most familiar with. Figma has design, prototyping, and now the collaboration feature, so if I was deciding on the software for collaboration I …

    Freehand is the least polished of the bunch. It doesn't instantly make your thoughts and design look sexy. It doesn't open up your designs to be edited live, inspected, and sliced up for export. It doesn't let you interact with flow charts, like showing or hiding long pieces of …

    InVision Freehand is simple to use and doesn't have all the bells and whistles Figma offers - and its simplicity has a place in the workspace tech stack. We haven't tried Figma Jam yet - even though we use Figma, we still prefer Invision.

    Figma is far superior. They have templates and great video integration. The template portion is the best. You can choose from many and even have a network of others that are creating templates for people to use. I am sure InVision Freehand has a lot of the same features, but …

    I use Miro when I need to collaborate with non creatives on my team. When I am collaborating with other creatives, we use Figma, FigJam or InVision Freehand. I feel that the simplicity of Miro is better suited for non technical and non creative stakeholders.

    Miro has much more plugins and integrations when compared to InVision Freehand. The fact Miro is a stand-alone program actually has a lot of advantages. FigJam is catching up nowadays just because it's built-in Figma so everything is closely integrated. But it is also a pro …

    Miro has more features and is more flexible than other products. Freehand, for example, seems to be too focused on wireframes. Additionally, it is now adopted by the entire company, not just the design area, which is how I previously used the other mentioned products.

    Miro is what my company pays for, but I like the features it offers. I did like FigJam as I meant I only had to use one app rather than two and I know how to use Figma really well in my role. Miro has more features though, would be good to integrate Figma and Miro
