Miro
Chose Miro
I'm forgetting a few others we looked at.

Miro does everything I need better. I'm not focused on technical diagrams, though I recognize the technical icon library has expanded significantly in Miro.
Chose Miro
Miro is a lot more flexible and intuitive to use than Klaxoon, which can be confusing. First time users usually have no issue with Miro but often struggle with Klaxoon.

Microsoft Teams / Microsoft Whiteboard is great for MS integration but really too limited and basic for using …
Chose Miro
Miro’s interface is intuitive, with a clean, customizable workspace that’s easy for new and experienced users to navigate. It offers a smooth, infinite canvas that’s highly flexible, supporting a variety of collaboration styles, from brainstorming to detailed project mapping.
Chose Miro
They are exactly the same, with Lucid being significantly less expensive
Chose Miro
Miro is the best. I think Figma is hard to use and is limited.
Chose Miro
Miro is significantly more user friendly in my experience and significantly easier to use.
Chose Miro
We are switching to Figma at our organization. I don’t know the reasons why.
Chose Miro
In general Miro is just sleeker (is that a word?) in my opinion. I always admire Google’s drive to enhance their suite, but there’s usually always something missing or limited functionality that, when I get used to other systems like Miro, Google usually falls flat OR its just …
Chose Miro
Miro has many more swim lanes and templates, along with much more added functionality. While Mind Map was a great product, Miro is like Mind Map on steroids. I've not encountered situations where Miro didn't work, I'm always successful with documenting what I'm thinking and …
Chose Miro
My team is able to collaborate and communicate in real-time thanks to Miro collaborative features. It helps give a bird eye view of our projects we're working on and this also allows our clients to easily understand what we're doing and put in their contribution as well. It has …
Chose Miro
We selected Miro because it is really simple to use and it is accessible through a link with a login. I love the whiteboard feel that resembles how we used to work when work meant being in person. A lot of the other tools have more of a specific role in a project where Miro can …
Chose Miro
Although Miro got quite a lot more expensive, it's the best white boarding tool out there. We had a trial where we tried to use Microsoft Teams whiteboards instead but quickly stopped due to the lack of functionalities and poor performance. Compared to other more advanced white …
Chose Miro
To many steps in Jira to do what Miro makes in seconds. In addition to this Miro has a really good catalogue of templates ready to use and the training library in Miro is years ahead of what Jira offers. And from my personal point of view I don't like Jira because you need to …
Chose Miro
We selected the FREE version of Miro. We did not buy it. As I said in earlier questions: for many tasks other applications like PowerPoint and Drawio are much more suited (and also free). For the barinstorm sessions, the free version of Miro is more then enough for us. There is …
Chose Miro
It is user friendly and less costly when compared to other tools in the market
Chose Miro
It has very similar features to the others mentioned; a lot of the basic functionality of using objects, text, and sticky notes. It seems to have the same learning curve as a result. However, we have now switched over to Figma for design and it would be nice to have more …
Chose Miro
I used MURAL in another country, it was a little more complicated to use, and the most annoying things was that I had to ask my superior to have more space in my board ! It was more difficult to onboard a user in the product.
Chose Miro
Both Miro and MURAL have similar feature sets, but Miro was better thanks to the seamless integrations with a wide range of apps, the exporting capabilities, support for large groups and collaboration sessions, and the entire experience feeling smoother and more intuitive. …
Chose Miro
Miro can bring all the features of the 3 tools that we used to use, I know that each tool has its specifications, but Miro could help cover almost all the necessities of those 3 tools in my squad, it's always easier to work straight forward with one tool than having like 3 or 4 …
Chose Miro
We used Miro and MURAL in parallel in earlier stage. Easier collaboration, price and ease of use won.
The only thing MURAL did better was external collaboration and sharing as sometimes we work with consultants or third parties.

This product is useful for a team/company working with multiple customers. Employee count anywhere larger than fifty or sixty will be benefited [from] this. Considering this product is expensive(as I’ve heard) this will not serve [many] purposes to smaller companies and startups who are having a very less customer base and [fewer...] employees.

I remember a project where all our different teams were involved in it. I created a board with timelines, KPIs, and customer journey stages, and each team added their input live. We were all able to work together in real time, view the entire project, and leave comments without switching apps, which is why it worked fantastically for us. Everyone benefited from the hours of time it saved, and we made a good profit on that project, for which I was named employee of the month.

Pros
  • Jira is a great project management tool when it comes to tracking the progress of deliverables and milestones. Each member of the team can track individual deliverables and milestones. Jira comes with filters and search functions to perform these tasks.
  • Jira is highly flexible when it comes to maintaining tasks and deliverable backlogs. You can plan and organize your sprints in such a way that you include your previous backlogs in them.

  • Especially useful project planning with functions like whiteboard and great collaboration features.
  • Miros presentation mode is great for walking people through and explaining a concept.
  • If someone can’t join a meeting, we record a Talktrack. Its like a mini-presentation that people can watch later. Can be extremely useful at times.

Cons
  • The initial ticket creation screen lacks some important features, such as assigning "point values" (a measure of effort needed for the ticket).
  • The browser needs to be manually refreshed to see new tickets, which can make things confusing when several people in a meeting are simultaneously creating tickets.
  • The interface on some smaller portions of the software are sometimes difficult to understand.

  • When using the find functionality to locate an item in a Miro board, I do not like that it keeps my previous searched term. Other programs, like Excel, do this but they have it so that you can easily overwrite the previously-searched term.
  • It would be helpful if you could search by a particular frame, instead of the entire board. For our quarterly backlog review, we often have items that carry over, so there are duplicates on the board. Being able to search by a frame would make this easier.
  • Understanding who can access a board is not always clear to me.

There is nothing that can be better than Jira but it needs to keep improving certain areas especially the attachment size area.

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

Usability
Most of the things are easily manageable except certain things that are hidden and you need to ask teammates who are aware of how they can link attachements in the comment section and so on.

The platform is flexible, easy to use, and simple because Miro is a great visualization tool that makes it easy to collaborate on creating charts. It helps in creating workflows and other designs easily and securely. It supports integrations with major cloud storage solutions and office suites. On top of that, it provides a decent free plan, which is sufficient for basic usage.

Reliability and Availability
No answers on this topic
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
No answers on this topic
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
It is average. It needs to improve overall if you are paying the amount of money it costs. For now, it does the job, but with so many new features being added it would be very helpful to kick this up a notch.

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.

Atlassian JIRA Align (formerly AgileCraft) has an excellent suite of tools that integrate well with other tools and offers full support for various agile frameworks, including SAFe. It's just a complete integrated package, whereas some other tools seem to be lacking in different areas. Several plug-ins can be integrated to help with pro serv invoicing and integration with GitHub, Jenkins, Confluence, and other tools that we use.

Miro is the more collaborative option, offering the ability for many individuals to work on the same item real-time. Though it does create some duplicate entry, we've found this added cost is minimal compared to the opportunity cost of lost collaboration.

Scalability
No answers on this topic
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.

Return on Investment
  • Able to forecast & plan releases well using agilecraft leading to quality on time delivery.
  • Distributed teams are able to collaborate well, be it be daily scrum, retrospective, estimation though this. Also team members love the gamification part & they have fun using this tool. Earlier we use to face challenges due to distributed teams but after AgileCraft, collaboration & communication was no longer a challenge & we are able to see improvement not only in team velocity, but also team satisfaction.
  • Simplest tool to implement safe, scaling is always a problem with most of the agile tools but agilecraft helps in smoother implementation of safe practices & principles.
