Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Miro helps us bring the in-person feeling to virtual whiteboarding. We typically use Miro to lead large (50+ employees) workshops. We use this as a collaborative tool to process a lot of information in an interactive way.

Pros

  • Ability to add multiple file formats.
  • Bring an audience together to see the same thing (consistent UI experience).
  • Allows for multiple input methods.

Cons

  • Locking a board seems super manual. It takes forever and I'm still not sure if I've locked everything down.
  • Setting up a Miro workshop requires its own SME. Google Jamboard is much more restrictive which makes it easy to set up. I want the freedom of Miro but with some shortcuts.
  • Some users don't know how to use Miro right away. The platform is easy to use for me, but my clients seem to always have a bit of trouble getting into the platform the first time.
  • Hard to say, it costs us a fair amount of time to set up these boards, and it's unclear how much time we save. But the experience is great and the morale stays high.
I mean, I just logged in. Wasn't too hard. My clients have issues logging in sometimes, but I'm not sure why hence the 8 rating.
Because it takes so long to set up boards! I typically manage users now, so I'm not so far into the weeds of the challenges here. But if it was easier then I'd consider doing it myself so that says something, too.
It's great for large workshops. Not great for daily meetings.

Do you think Miro delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Miro's feature set?

Yes

Did Miro live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Miro go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Miro again?

Yes

It's much better for big meetings. Jamboard is much better for quick meetings.
Miro is suited for large important meetings. Works well for an all-digital experience or a mixed (some in person, some digital) experience. Not good for daily meetings currently because the upfront setup is a bear. Would be great if there was some trade-off where a version was as simple as Jamboard. But I don't like Jamboard because it goes too far on the limiting factors.
