Nuclino was simply not feature rich enough. I may have spent an entire five minutes in it. When I can't even edit the formatting of text at all, that's an issue. Milanote is a really good tool, but isn't as flexible as Miro and tends to be on the expensive side. Miro has a big …
Miro board is a bit more user friendly and I'd say more targeted at businesses, vs personal use. They're very similar tools but Milanote will limit you to 100 items per board before you must upgrade to a paid version, I'm not sure Miro board has the same rules as this, I may …
Miro has better collaboration and more features such as easier note taking and a big library for a variety of different tools. I like to use Milanote for my own private use as it has the possbility to store contents into folders which helps me being organized. Even though it …
Milanote doesn't offer the mind map functionality and is so rigid. Microsoft Visio is overpriced, does not have a collaborative feature, and was very clunky. Adobe PhotoShop is a great artistic tool, but it is not easy to use for brainstorming. I tried.
FigJam and Milanote have better organization and load faster. However, for visual collaborations, I find that it is still easier to use Miro, especially if there are many participants on one board. The specialization focusing on real-time collaboration has made the process very …
We love Milanote for our design team, and it is unmatched for creative reviews. Still, Miro takes the cake for team collaboration during the ideas/wireframing stages, especially for non-creative team members. Milanote lacks a lot of the functionality that Miro provides.
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 …
We were using Milanote previously at it worked well when we were in the office as we used Milanote mostly for mood board/inspiration/idea collation. Miro really stood out with its real-time collaboration features, especially its integration with Microsoft Teams, where people …
There were probably a few more back in the day, but Miro in my opinion is at this point a much more sophisticated tool, that constantly gets improvements and new gadgets added. Freedom of well to me at least endless board effect is great, with Milanote I had so many …
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 …
Miro is the best product out of these options for collaborative brainstorming and presentation. Miro has the best organization tools when it comes to tables, kanban, etc. all in one place alongside a visual workboard. Each of these products beats Miro at specific aspects, but …
Miro allows for greater interactivity and use before requesting payments. Found the general colour layout and text more visually appealing and to my liking. The ease-of-use is a 10 for me, as all different team members were able to quickly learn and use the ap without fault and …
I think all products have its pros and cons. I personally like Miro for its interface and ease-of-use, once you get to learn it. I also like the look and feel of Miro versus the other products. For new users, it does feel very overwhelming but it’s not too difficult to learn
My company designates Miro as the default online whiteboard tool, so we all use it. Miro dominates the whiteboard market and it spearheads many new functions that other tools don't provide or are playing catch up.
These two apps have similar attributes but I have found Miro more accessible, less rigid, and easier to use. It has been more of a question of what the university or other companies uses more often and what the others also are familiar with, plus what they offer as their …
Milanote works great for scheduling work-related trips, events and/or photoshoots. Photoshoots in particular are easier to coordinate with Milanote because of the ability to build a board that functions like a calendar with multiple boards and links inside. The level of collaboration helps my team to organize events and check items off of our checklists in a timely manner.
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.
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.
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
Milanote is extremely user friendly and easy to learn. I have been able to add new users to our plan with little to no training and they were able to easily integrate themselves into the program. Once a user has been able to navigate through the software in its entirety, they are able to use it with little to no training.
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.
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.
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
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.
I think Milanote stacks pretty well. Lucidchart is great for outlining processes, whereas Milanote is excellent for creative mind-mapping and marketing presentations.
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.
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.
