Google Jamboard is a much simpler tool. This is not necessarily a bad thing e.g. if I just want to set up a warm-up exercise for students before we start the session using Miro would be flash over substance. Do not get me wrong, everyone who knows me knows I love Miro but I …
Miro is more user friendly, and interactive as compared to Google Jamboard. Advantages of using jamboard would be that since it's a part of the Google suite, individuals are more comfortable using the tool and tracking changes/updates. Both can be used for collaboration, and …
I couldn't add Teams Whiteboard to the list, but among the three (Mural, Google Jamboard, and Teams Whiteboard) Miro blows them out of the water. I had to use Mural recently for a separate engagement, after having not used for a while, and was really surprised by how little it …
I like Miro's keyboard shortcuts a lot more than Mural. Mural and Google Jamboard have much more limited space than Mural. I like the look of Mural's post it's, they look more like basic shapes in Mural. I like that the background style is different than the frame making it …
I didn't get to choose Miro, but if I could, I would. JamBoard is not on the same level as FigJam or Miro. Between Miro and FigJam, FigJam is just more delightful to use and collaborate on—with or without an audio/video meeting. Being able to chat with collaborators from within …
Enterprise grade, learning curve, SSO integration, security for teams' data/boards, and number of concurrent collaborators is where Miro was able to shine and partly why we suggested it over the other tools.
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 …
Miro seems more user-friendly and encourages collaboration in a more relaxed way. It also offers more explanation and help than other platforms similar in nature when it comes to tool tips. The platform seems more universal than any other similar programs. The feedback feature …
Miro feels so much more expansive than Jamboard, which only seemed to allow a small, fixed area. Miro's features and templates seemed to be on a completely different level. Trello is a rather different product: well suited to a very set format, but it's not nearly as good for …
Miro is for anyone who is looking for great and powerful collaborative and creative tool that enables team to collaborate both asynchronous and synchronous. Also it enables us to effectively communicate with our clients work on different projects together despite the location …

Chose Miro
Miro is much better. It offers the best of these tools and much more. As a direct comparison, it's significantly better than Mural.
As a tool, it's pretty unique and the powerful integrations put in a league of its own. Miro is my go to tool in this regard.
Google is actually decommissioning Jamboard and I think it's because they know other people are doing it much better. Teams also has a whiteboard feature that I find uninspired and I'm unlikely to use it unless it's out of bare necessity. I've never tried Mural so I can't speak …
We still have tutors who prefer how they used to do things. The fact that I am able to convince most (not all) of these often stodgy academics to switch to Miro after one demonstration is a testament to how its simple to use interface is truly unique in the market.
Jamboard felt very clunky compared to Miro. It was also very difficult to make your Jamboards look inviting. Conversely, Miro allows you to layer as much as you want/need. It allows you to easily create boards that work for the needs of your team - whether internal or …
The others are more clunky in my opinion but potentially have a lower barrier to entry. Miro can be smooth and refined but there are a lot of different buttons and functions and dragging techniques and zooming in and out that can be a lot to some.
I prefer Miro over all, but then will use certain tools for specific use cases: Lucid - process work Menti - interactive polling and facilitated sessions UserVoice - crowdsourcing Trello - kanban boards (although Miro is pretty good with this too) Slido - live polling and …
Miro, to me, is the better product hands down. It's easy to learn and teach. As well as creating fun and dynamic collaborative spaces for my teams to use. I found the other products lacking in features or clunky to use. Miro has depth without complexity, and simplicity with …
MSFT Whiteboard is missing features and feels clunky. My company doesnt use Google products so Jamboard doesnt work for large projects, and Canva is a direct competitor to my company. Miro makes financial and experiential sense for us. It feels intuitive, including all of the …
All over both the products are same while using, but when we tried Miro and we felt comfortable and user friendly and like by many staff, so we continued with this. And the design is good, and it's work is like realistic
I believe that Miro is much superior to Jamboard, it has much more functionality and is a more complete tool. Confluence is very good for documenting, but it doesn't work well for designing product flows as it is limited to text. I would say that Miro and Confluence are …
For my part, I really have a user preference for Miro. It allows me to do many of the functions of these other tools more easily. It allows me to create visual compositions, it allows me to do follow-ups and online ideation. I really prefer the responsiveness of the team and …
Google Jamboard is ideal for live, synchronous sessions to support collaboration and engagement. It can be used for the entire class, small group, or independent work. Create a Jamboard for a simple student knowledge check, or annotation exercise, or sorting activity. Insert a Google document, spreadsheet, or presentation, and have students annotate the file. There are many types of active learning activities you can do with a Google Jamboard!
It is well suited to do different types of presentations, projects, mind maps, tables and so on, even for private purposes like creating to-do list, planners, files with images, PDF texts. I don't really know where it is less appropriate. Only for people who do their jobs outside. Anyone who works in the office can use it for some purposes
Retro. At different stages of the meeting it is important to be able to work with the board at the same time (to indicate what went well or badly), as well as to be able to quickly visualize the information (to combine clusters of problems) and to indicate solutions with arrows.
Display information at different levels of abstraction. This is especially important for our product backlog. It is important for different people in the organization to see different levels of presentation.
All the benefits of a physical whiteboard, plus the advantages of the digital world. Working with the world is extremely intuitive. You can invite people who use Miro once a week and I don't have to do a 15 minute briefing on how to use the tool for them.
There is no other tool like Miro for process Mapping in particular. I've tried PowerPoint, Word, and other programs, but when collaborating virtually on how to improve a process, Miro has all of the tools and more to enable successful mapping. The colors, different types of shapes and text books, along with the ability to integrate different documents and other functionality, make it ideal for this purpose. In a virtual world, it's a must-have.
It's pretty easy to use. My gripes are with some small idiosyncrasies with selection behavior with objects and editing text. When I move an object, it automatically de-selects it when I am not done with it. I have to click to select again. Text control is challenging and could be improved. It could use a little more styling capability. It's also weird that it behaves differently in a shape then when using the text tool.
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.
I took the loading quickly to be related to availability which I commented on before, so ditto with those comment on load time here. Although to reemphasize, Miro doesn't crash or just refuse to load like some other programs. The weak point of Miro for me is integration of files like Word, Excel, or PowerPoint (especially the later two). When you embed these, it gets slow, and complicated to bring them up while you're in the application.
The support staff at Miro are fantastic. Whenever I have had an issue, they have been timely and helpful with their response. They are also very knowledgeable and go out of their way to not only help, but offer proactive training sessions on different topics and new functionality so everyone can try it out.
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.
There was not enough training for users to understand all the key features. The rollout was very high-level, but when users are expected to start adopting it, you have to ensure they are given the proper tools to do so. Miro is a great tool, and proper training is key to adoption.
Google Jamboard is a much simpler tool. This is not necessarily a bad thing e.g. if I just want to set up a warm-up exercise for students before we start the session using Miro would be flash over substance. Do not get me wrong, everyone who knows me knows I love Miro but I also appreciate the simplicity and a variety of tools I can use. Another product that TrustRadius does not take into consideration is Padlet or MS Whiteboard. Another argument supporting the choice of Google Jamboard, especially for Google users, is that is kind of part of the package. Non-Google users are also welcome!
Miro is visually appealing, very inviting, and easy to use for the most part. It has all the drawing tools to connect shapes, create aligned diagrams, change colors, establish a layout, and color them. You can quickly change font sizes. In our meetings, teammates are very willing to follow along on Miro.
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.
Positive impact - we've been able to reduce the time it takes to arrive at MVP, crawl, walk, run requirements and turn them over sooner
Roadmapping and seeing at a high level what the roadblocks or risks will be 3, 6, 9 months ahead of time has allowed us to be more planful and mitigate tech debt. IT is informed earlier to resource or stand up workstreams sooner and be less reactive.
Customer Journey mapping - until Miro there wasn't any real documented or consistent ways to show and agree and document our CJ's. It forced some behaviors within our organization and transparency to come to the surface - saving us all time and money on where we spend our dollars.
