Pros

Have only been using for 5 months now but I'm a great fan of the simplicity bundled with endless options for quick iterations.
It makes my job incredibly easy and produces a super clean wireframe immediately. The pre-set buttons that you can drag are the best and I just won't use anything else for Wireframing.
It is a good desktop and mobile mock-up tool with a good quantity of functionalities. For sure is one of the best free solutions for small projects in LF stages.

Pros

The overall experience have been great, free moving around, it feels like downloading what you want to keep and remember, and taking care of that.
Aesthetically, Miro is also just great. I love how such a simple look is still capable of so many great features.
Overall, a terrific experience that allowed our team to move ideas around in novel ways, leading to interesting new findings.

Cons

The following things I don't like. No walk through/onboarding, sometimes makes you feel lost.
Additionally, creation of site-maps is limited with no scope of customization.
Wireframes can look child-like and unprofessional with some settings. Currently based on Adobe Air technology which is outdated.

Cons

The controls are frustrating, the design is unpleasant, and we spend more time trying to figure out how to use it than we did actually collaborating.
The usability of the software is a little difficult. While it's a feature-rich program, it tried to emulate physical tools such as a white-board, but fails on several facets.
It's basically only usable when using a track pad, and even then the controls feel clunky and slow. Beyond that, the actual editing process of the pages is difficult and the menus are confusing.

Balsamiq

Prototyping for all

Reviewed 2 months ago

I love it. It's quick, simple, and expressive, the extensive primitives are very helpful, and the more effort you put in the better it gets. It's also incredibly useful to be able to share a prototype as a website and get comments.

Pros

1. Generating interactive prototypes incredibly quickly, thanks to a very small learning curve and a reasonably intuitive interface. 2. With a little extra effort, generating high-fidelity prototypes that pretty much match anything other (much) more expensive and complex packages can do. 3. Modifying prototypes on the fly in brainstorming meetings. 4. Openly sharing focused prototypes with others in a few clicks. 5. Dynamically incorporating Balsamiq slides into Miro boards.

Cons

As the creator, when a prototype gets moderately complex, it's easy to get a bit lost as there is no overall graph of the site you have created. You can add a site map as a slide, but it just lists the pages with no way to see the link structure.
