Miro

What differentiates Miro from other similar products?

We use InVision to build richer animations and prototypes for testing. I am in charge of building graphical interfaces for smartphone applications or website interfaces. It is also simple to prepare assets from InVision, such as color samples, typography, icon set, and characters.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It is straightforward and focused, but not at the price of significant features such as sophisticated animation transitions. I really appreciate how you can upload prototype URLs for various purposes, such as user testing, feedback, and so on, and choose whether changes are saved and published or just stored. It is also feasible to construct the drawing boards in Photoshop and then import the work into InVision to produce the real prototype, which can then be shared with the customer.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The process of connecting displays to construct a prototype is time-consuming. Furthermore, InVision does not automatically adjust to the screen size of the device on which the preview is presented; you must specify which portion of an artboard is visible, i.e. set a vertical breakpoint, and the width of the artboard will shrink or grow to match the device. Touch motions are also lacking. Otherwise, fantastic software.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Obviously, if you're thinking of switching to InVision (or any similar product) from something else, there will be a learning curve. InVision has showed a lot of potential in the previous several years and has developed into a great solution in this market, in my opinion. Personal experience has shown me that it is superior than Sketch in certain ways but lacking in others. It is now the best program for UI/UX design, and it can handle both the design and prototype phases.

What differentiates Miro from other similar products?

Initially I used it deliberately to design web and mobile interfaces, as well as associated interactive prototypes. Everything is much easier now that the streams have been included. I now use it for everything digital, including designs for Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. The most difficult challenge that InVision solves for me is allowing a customer to stroll around a website or app. I am compelled to describe my conceptualizations to the customer and expect them to follow through effectively without the interactive choices that InVision provides. Instead of merely brainstorming with customers and hope they can follow through.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I enjoy how simple the program is, how well organized the materials are, and how frequently new features are added. The ability to collaborate in real time is fantastic. Because everything is supposed to be basic, the application is incredibly straightforward to use and experiment with to develop UI structures and mockups. I also enjoy how mockups can be made with interactive components to make them feel more like a working product. The nicest component of InVision is the program's prototyping feature, which allows me to lead my clients through my construct and clearly see the almost working concept.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Creating an actual prototype with interactions is quite difficult. It's not intuitive, and it takes a lot of time before and after multiple testing to get a successful prototype. I wouldn't say I like the interface testing phase. I would also suggest adding more touch gestures and the ability to import movies to make the prototype process more akin to the final product.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Immerse yourself in the program for a few weeks before planning a project around it. Youtube is a great place to learn some basic tips and tricks with InVision, as the program doesn't really show all of its features when you first use it. My suggestion would be to learn some of the nuances to fully use it to its fullest advantage, InVision is efficient for building mockups.

What differentiates Miro from other similar products?

Miro was the most simple and effective way for me to take my creativity to the next level. It has enabled us to hold more successful seminars without relying on a plethora of physical post-it notes, as well as to collaborate effectively with a remote team and customer base.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Miro has been a fantastic resource for me, from brainstorming to final delivery. The program's user-friendly design makes it simple to use. Miro also comes with a ready-to-use template. It's very visually appealing! It is primarily used to communicate work processes to newly hired employees. The level of interaction and engagement is the foundation of a product that allows me and our team to collaborate and share ideas visually.

What do you dislike most about this product?

There are some bugs with the screen sharing, such as it failing to load and play my audio file but working correctly with the video file. The issue is that there are so many projects that you can plan or work on in a few days. In a busy infinite canvas, it can be difficult to easily find a specific project.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I recommend that you try every template that fits your project and needs. Because of the user-friendly interface, this software is very simple to use. Miro also has ready-to-use templates. Throughout the pandemic, it was game-changing software. We are still using our Miro boards to reflect on the changes we want to implement and make decisions.
