Miro** - The default pick for most remote teams. Infinite canvas, the deepest template library, and real facilitation tooling (timers, voting, private mode for silent brainstorming, \"bring everyone to me\" to drag attendees to your cursor). It also has the integrations that matter for async work - Jira, Confluence, Slack, Teams, Azure DevOps - so a workshop output can become tickets without retyping. Downsides: it's the heaviest app of the bunch, boards get sluggish when they're overloaded, and per-editor pricing adds up fast past ~8 editors.\n\n**2.
