Miro

Pros: Works on any device mobile, tablet, laptop or desktop. Easy to sign up and use. Great for whiteboard presentations online.

Cons: The user interface is clunky and takes up screenspace. Free version has big ads pop up bottom center.

Overall: It's simple and fast to set up. Two highly important features I look for in software. This has a lot of features that I never use. If I started to diagram charts more like a pro I could do that with this software. Multifunctional software. Big plus!

Pros: Great whiteboard software. Easy to use. Works on iPad really well. Has shapes that you need to make any drawing you need (I used this for business only). Great for diagrams or tutorial videos.

Cons: Like any free version you eventually need the paid plan to get the features that you want to use.

Overall: Easy to use whiteboard software. Always on and works great. The menu icons could be rearranged or hidden behind a menu button to show more screen. Works well and no training needed. Open the box and ready to use.

Pros: I am still finding ways to use all the flexible features afforded by the Miro platform. I appreciate the ability to involve my team members without the need for additional licenses, and the desktop app is also well done. Although I'm pretty new to using Miro, the library of ready templates has gotten me started for every single use case I've required to date. Kudos !

Cons: Despite it providing the majority of the basic functionalities, as I am maturing in my usage of the platform, the free version is rather restricted (as one might expected). So be ready to quickly outgrow the free version and contemplate one of the paid options.

Overall: Overall, Miro - even in its free version - has provided me all that I might need in a collaboration platform.

Pros: Miro is like whiteboarding on steroids. It's been the perfect replacement for physical whiteboard and other brainstorm activities during this time working from home. Miro seems to have been made for super agile teams who do things like design sprints, design thinking, etc. My team isn't particularly agile, but we've still loved using Miro to brainstorm ideas, plus it encourages us to think outside the box. There are so many templates to choose from like storyboards, flow charts, and different workshop / focus group activities. We've even used this with our clients to think through complicated ideas a couple of times. It has a ton of awesome functionality for facilitation, such as being able to hide parts of your board or lock them so they can't be edited by participants, and 'attention management' where you can make sure everyone is looking at the part of the board you're looking at. They also have a nice number of integrations with outside tools like popular project management tools.

Cons: There's a comment function which is awesome, but if things on your Miro board get moved around, the comment won't move with them, so you might end up seeing a comment and not knowing what part of the board it's referring to. I felt that the UX was great, but there are definitely some less tech savvy members of my team who found it confusing, and a little dizzying with the board moving around so much.

Overall: Overall this is an amazing tool to bring more excitement and creativity to your meetings, plus a way to hear from team members who might not be as vocal. Just watch their tutorials to see the way it looks when a whole group of people are throwing their ideas out there in real-time. It's invigorating! The tool can seem overwhelming when you're first learning how to use it but that's only because there are so many features and ways it could be used.

Pros: Miro is a powerful team collaboration platform. It's not only limited to team communication you can also manage projects, share files, share screens and track work progress. It's also the best tool for visualizing every task and project. It helps to promote productivity in organization.

Cons: Just one or two minor I bugs faced in past. Overall it's a great tool.

Overall: Miro is a very trustworthy collaboration tool. It's lightweight and boosts the communication frequency with the team. It's easy in usability and powerful in performance and functionality.
