Pros & Cons
Miro
Pros
- Real-time collaboration on an infinite canvas, with many templates for workshops, roadmaps, and diagrams.
- Reviewers say teammates with little project-management experience pick up the basics quickly.
- Business includes two-way sync with Jira, Asana, Linear, ClickUp, and Azure DevOps.
- Strong security credentials, including SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, SSO, and data residency on Enterprise.
- Free plan allows unlimited members, and Starter costs $8 per member per month on annual billing.
Cons
- Very large boards can feel cluttered and hard to navigate.
- Advanced workflows, integrations, and automation take time to learn.
- Sonary rates support at 2.5 out of 5, and 24/7 support is a paid Enterprise add-on.
- It does not work offline.
- It lacks the deep task tracking and reporting of a dedicated project management tool, so it is often used alongside one.
SmartSuite
Pros
- The same records can be shown as grid, Kanban, Gantt, timeline, calendar, map and dashboard views without duplicating data.
- Its compliance coverage is unusually strong for the category, with ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA and GDPR audits plus a choice of US or EU data residency.
- Read-only users, commenters and form submitters are free, which lowers the cost of involving stakeholders.
- It ships more than 200 templates and an AI solution builder to speed up setup.
- Reviewers describe the support team as responsive.
Cons
- Team, Professional and Enterprise carry 3-, 5- and 25-seat minimums, and there is no free plan.
- The Team plan allows only 5,000 records per solution, and automation runs plus API calls are hard-capped each month.
- SAML SSO and SCIM are available only on Enterprise and Signature plans.
- There is no team chat or whiteboard, and external access is limited to read-only shared views.
- Reviewers say complex workflows and large data imports take real setup effort, and there are no native desktop apps.
