Miro

Pros

I think Miro's endless canvas is its strongest suit because it allows users to quickly and easily turn their thoughts into eye-catching visuals. The canvas is an enormous creative playground that may accommodate endless brainstorming sessions, mind mapping, and team projects.

Cons

The learning curve for Miro's more advanced capabilities can be steep, but the app is a powerhouse for visual collaboration. You might need to go a little deeper to comprehend some of the more complex features, particularly if you're working with complicated processes or connectors.

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

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

The native cloud approach. This is really a space for collaboration. More i like the versatility to "digest" any kind of information, file, image.

Cons

With complex boards it can get slow.
I also would like a function to update image links. This is something missing.

Pros

Miro is a great visual tool to work from! I love that it's super easy to collaborate with colleagues using it (it's really helpful to use during group sessions or workshops!) and there are a ton of different features - even after using it for a couple of years I presume I'm still only scratching the surface of its capabilities.
Besides being a fab tool for collaborative working, Miro is an all round handy platform to work from - whether that's to capture your initial draft thoughts on a project, to put together a project timeline, or to vote on actions as a group, the chances are that Miro can help you to document and achieve your goals

Cons

A frustration of mine is that large Miro boards with a lot of content on them can seemingly take forever to load, especially when you have a few of these open. Another drawback is the fact that scrolling around the board can be a dizzying experience for some users.

Pros

Its a great whiteboard tool with an unlimited canvas.
Supports a variety of predefined templates to choose from for sprint planning,brainstorming etc

Cons

No suits my use case I did not find any issue with miro yet

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

As a designer, i used miro for prototyping, it has many icons i enjoy using when prototyping low fidelity design

Cons

the mobile version is not intuitive and easy for users

Pros

Real time collaboration is really great, intuitive, lots of features, many integrations possibilities. Easy to scale from simple board to complex projects.

Cons

Steeper learning curve, big boards can get overwhelming in the beginning. Fairly expensive.

Pros

Miro is one of the platforms that I have interacted with so far that has a pretty much clean, attractive and well-organized user interface, I would give it a 9 out of 10.

I was also happy with the ability to simultaneously work on a diagram visualization with colleagues from different devices all together.

User-friendly and realistic pricing.

Cons

At the moment, I have no dislikes about Miro simply because I have not encountered a hitch since I interacted with it from the day of deployment.

Pros

Really helps agile working in the business and has a clear way to support idea generation

Cons

It has slightly less functionality for offline tools.

Pros

Easy to invite free users to a workshop/session and it is so easy for them to participate and contribute. Totally hassle free to start working with.
And the use cases are so many. We do a lot of SCRUM meetings. We do wireframes, brainstorming, workshops, idea management and more.

Cons

Tried doing a Product Roadmap and it is very visible but a hassle to do and update so I don't use it for that anymore.

Pros

I really love the fact that you can save your board with a password so not everybody is able to access the board if they are not supposed to. I also love that is really easy to handle and intuitiv. It helps all the team members to work on one project and it doesnt matter where you are.

Cons

I actually dont like the zoom in miro. This is actually better in figma or similar tools. I sometime get to close or I select everything by accident. I hope miro can fix that in the future.

Reasons for Switching to Miro

Pros

Miro has everything to enhance the power of collaboration among team members. The whiteboard, magic pen, and ready-made elements make creating Flowcharts and Diagrams a joy. We use Miro to pin the ideas we gather during brainstorming in the right places and then assemble or reshape until we reach what is required. The presence of many templates helps us display Flowcharts, Diagrams, and other models in an organized manner capable of reflecting a great image of the team involved in creating them. I like the ease of exporting them as images to easily add to reports or presentations. I liked the value of documentation with Miro, as it is possible to know who and when the change occurred and who gave the final approval, which enhances governance throughout the steps.

Cons

There is no room for negatives with Miro, regular notifications always give us the ability to see in real time any modifications or additions and comment on them by approving or rejecting them, which keeps the workflow smooth.

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

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

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 like the advance features that Miro have which makes it possible to manage projects thanks to the real-time collaboration.

Cons

The tool is expensive to acquire compared to its alternatives

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

Miro helps us with day to day project planning.
I like how it has helped us to create diagrams and flowcharts which has really enhanced collaboration and communication.

Cons

I have no Cons yet since Miro covers everything that i need.

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 don't know if Miro is truly the first collaborative web whiteboard or not, but it certainly feels like the best and most complete one that got sufficient traction to be widely used. It's super easy to use and that's critical because the whole point is to get your entire team engaged on the common boards, so it has to be easy enough that all your team members can participate.

Cons

The pricing is really the only thing I can complain about. The free tier is pretty limiting, which I understand, but now that so many other office suites come with a version of whiteboarding/mind-mapping/brain storming software (even Figma now has it), it's really tough to spend this much money on Miro unless you use it as a project management or full-blown UX tool as well. It's much easier to use FigJam, for example, as your brainstorming tool, than it would be to use Miro in place of a full Figma.

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

Pros

It is *very* easy and *very* quick to diagram with Miro. Ten minutes will give you a functional skeleton, thirty minutes will give you a really great flowchart/workflow/mind map etc. That's half the time I would expect to spend, based on my experience with other tools. What this means for individuals is that you're only a few minutes away from having something to share at a meeting. Even better, Miro makes it easy to share your work in a lot of different ways, including plain ol' export as a jpg, which means you can reach people who aren't necessarily going to jump on a video call with you.

Cons

Though the interface is pretty easy to use, some of the advanced features will force even experienced users to pause and say "Wait, what does this do?" Also, digital accessibility isn't Miro's strong suit and I doubt they're meeting all the WCAG guidelines.
