Miro

Pros

Simple, easy to pick up and to demonstrate to others

Cons

No cons for Miro at the moment based on what I use it for

Pros

The endless canvass for planning purposes.
Accessibility for multiple people to work on a plan at the same time in real time.

Cons

The switching between the pointer and the hand to move the canvass around is slow, along with the sliders being very small to move the canvass.

Pros

Viewing a Miro board is nice to look at - it is a good way to organise a project, especially a technical one that requires a flowchart

Cons

I found the use case of the product rather simplistic, there was simply not enough use case for me to want to make flowcharts that I could not make elsewhere or view in a different way

Pros

Miro provides two absolutely amazing features that revolutionize virtual collaboration. 1. With its infinite canvas, first, it lets teams work across expanses of visual workspace, so there is no limit to brainstorming, allowing for holistic strategy making. Second, the interactive collaborative tools allow many team members to interact, edit, and contribute at the same time and break down geographical barriers with instant creative synergy.

Cons

Limited to advanced data visualization option. Ongoing complex permission management for larger team members. Occasional performance issues with extremely large boards, however. Limited native integration to generalize some specialized design tools.

Pros

It has helped us to collaborate efficiently with other team members.
Has made it easy to share ideas and brainstorm with others.

Cons

I did not experience any cons while using it, it is a great product.

Pros

The variety of templates and the ability to work in real-time with a team makes it perfect for any creative project

Cons

One downside is that it can get a bit cluttered when you have too many elements on the board

Pros

A wide variety of templates and tools for brainstorming, project management, and diagramming. The visual and interactive interface makes collaboration intuitive and engaging, even for remote teams.

Cons

The interface can feel overwhelming at first, requiring some time to get comfortable. Performance slows down on heavily populated boards, which can be frustrating during key meetings.

Pros

Easy to manage diagrams in a team project environment.

Cons

It's got a steep learning curve to be able to create complex workflows and diagrams/flowcharts.

Pros

Is a very intuitive platform and for doing chart is one of the most complete

Cons

The amount of email users received when they complete the enrollment

Pros

As a developer, I really liked the ability to collaborate in real-time. Also, it was convenient for users because the remote team was useful for brainstorming and project progress together.

Cons

Complex projects can lead to overcrowding of canvases and less legible.

Pros

Miro offers a vast number of options and the highest flexibility. Tons of templates, automations, sharing options and AI support are great features.

Cons

The complexity of the systems requires some time to get used to it. It is an unavoidable downside when you want the most functional system.

Reasons for Switching to Miro

Pros

Miro is easy to use, perfect for streamlining visual tracking and collaborative planning remotely. With Miro, we connect meeting inputs and organize workflow charts that are understandable to everyone. I loved the ready-made templates that provide the perfect starting point for any idea, ensuring ease of collecting inputs during them and organizing them in an attractive way. I loved the ease of adding updates at any time with documentation, and it is great that the ability to control permissions adds the necessary protection for boards from modifications and tampering.

Cons

Miro is free of negatives, and it is impossible to slow down when adding or collecting elements.

Pros

I like Miro because it was build to solve my problems and it is a all in one platform that has every necessary tool to make my tasks easy.

Cons

Their no complaints from me, I just love Miro.

Pros

Miro is a wonderful workplace that has a great impact to me and it is easy to use. It helps bring ideas together inorder to solve problems.

Cons

Nothing at all l, Miro works wonderfully.

Pros

It is really intuitive to use and has so many great features. The miroverse is amazing for finding templates for retros, and other collaboration boards created by the community

Cons

It is quite an expensive tool to use. As a company we have not been able to afford to have everyone in the company on a contributors licence which has been difficult

Pros

Easy to use, great collaboration tool, and awesome pre-made templates

Cons

Miro doesn't have many flaws that I can think of to be honest. It's my favorite, most used tool.

Pros

I like how Miro is a versatile and efficient collaborative tool which enables us to foster our interactions, creativity and thinking.
It has amazing customer support.

Cons

Miro makes my professional life better and productive, nothing that I dislike towards it.

Pros

I use it daily for for personal ideation, running team refinements, task tracking, having fun in teambuildings, brainstorming together...there are so many use cases for this vusial multi-purposu tool.

Cons

Sometimes navigation in boards with many elemenst is messy. Would be great if there was some "back" and "formward" button or a history of visited elements so you can go here and there quickly. Also picking up a group of elements in crowded board can be a challenge.

Pros

The collaboration within this product is very effective, nontheless the good amount of possibilities to share comments, notes, links, images and the intuitive use of the tools present give us good moment since we are mostly remote workers. We use it for all kind of meetings from brainstormings to task management, but we surely prefer use it for brainstormings than for showing static contents.

Cons

The most met problem is rendering time, I suppose there are a specific set of settings for the board, but it makes screen sharing very tedious sometimes, using the desktop app sometimes solves the problem but even passing from a tab to another make people nervous.

Pros

It's fairly easy to use; it has a lot of helpful functionality. We use it for personas, product inception canvases, roadmapping, integration with Jira tickets is wonderful; displaying the full roadmap with details; charts, etc. We love this tool and it's helping us be successful and collaborative in a remote world.

Cons

The security is frustrating. We have an Enterprise license and you can't even view a page unless you have a license AND you're invited as part of that specific team. All enterprise users should be able to see any board if it's shared with them.

Pros

There is a lot more that we are able to do with Miro from collaboration, planning and organizing our work, mapping and visualizing our work and much more and this allowed us to reduce the number of products we are having at our infrastructure since we solving multiple problems with just one product. Miro allow us to strategize our work and lay straightforward plans using Gantt chart to direct us on how to go about it. Also, it helps us to map our projects in terms of flowcharts and diagrams for better understanding of how we are supposed to have a systematic flow of work delivery.

Cons

It being a robust product with multiple functions in it, sometimes it get a little confusing on which features you are supposed to choose for your work.

Pros

The simplicity and recently the addition of AI. I love that feature. Also Miro is really good at tiny gaps in consumer journeys and filling them. The shortcuts are great and the library of templates is love! I have used it so many times as a starting point. Always a great inspiration

Cons

The zooming in and zooming out is great but the text size is limited. So If I have zoomed out and have created a big font sentence, then I can't make a bigger header without making everything one size small. Also the size of the new element(post-it, text) should be adjusted to the board size and not it's default size.

Pros

I like the sharing aspect and the whiteboard

Cons

It can be hard to workout where you are on the board, following along can be tricky if there's a lot of content

Pros

The creative boundaries that Miro pushes are sky high, allowing the user to make the most of their desired experience.

Cons

The eraser tool is what I liked least about Miro. It erases entire strokes of lines instead of just the portions you want to erase.

Pros

- Very intuitive UI that unlocks efficient diagramming
- Wide range of templates that optimize the time you spend diagramming
- Very versatile, you can do a number of things for remote and on-site teams

Cons

- The zooming in and out with mouse can trip me up sometimes,and cause some frustration
- I do wish there were more options to 'label' grouped items together or that when adding a background to a section, the background moves with the section
