Miro vs Microsoft Planner: Which is a better fit?

I love that it allows multiple people to see what we are working on. It's great for a variety of functions like mind mapping, brainstorms, and flow documentation for applications.

I've watched people click and move things in the wrong places, edit the wrong areas, or generally mess up a board. No integration with wider ecosystem eg Microsoft/Google suite of tools.

I love that it is so free hand and real time that it feels as if we were doing this physically. It also results in a good progress being seen throughout and that is is accessible to all anywhere.

Literally the only thing I can think of is that you can't pay for it without a credit card, which is a pain for me.

The templates are also an amazing feature that take the work out of setting up an activity and can even be a good source of inspiration if you're out of interesting meeting ideas.

Some editing options for different tools are limited and it can be a little bit frustrating.

I appreciate Miro's fun and creative features that make collaboration engaging and dynamic, fostering a more visually stimulating work environment.

Sometimes I get lost with the layers or locking content. I feel that this feature could be set differently.

For task management it is a super good tool, it is very complete and the integration with 365 due to being from the same manufacturer makes it one of the most complete and easy on the market.

It does have limits in the enterprise tier we have. The most annoying is that we can't tag team members in the comments of tasks and we can't create sub-tasks within it.

Overall experience has been very good, quite satisfied and my work flow has improved.

I have many small business clients, ran by over-stressed small business owners who only use their phones, and only have time to take in limited amounts of information. This app is useless on mobile.

Microsoft Planner is an excellent benefit of an M365 subscription and the possibilities of its use in conjunction with Microsoft Forms, Power Automate, Outlook and more are huge.

Regarding this app, there are few things I dislike.

Easy to setup, perfect integration with Microsoft tools works perfectly combined with forms and power automate.

It is limited, and i assume as the product develops more and more, the cons i do have will go away.
