Overall Satisfaction with Miro
Miro is being used by our 300 person delivery org to do roadmap planning, initiative ideation, and general brainstorming.
- Under 20 people throwing ideas on a board.
- Allowing users to visually organize points or ideas into categories.
- Affinity mapping.
- Miro is super glitchy when more than 40 people are trying to interact with a board.
- The export functionality is minimal. It is hard to transfer sticky note content to another software. (example: moving plans to Jira).
- I understand that the software is supposed to feel organic and like a whiteboard, but auto-snapping to a grid or auto-organization of a ticket would be nice.
- When you make a sticky, it is given an automatic rotation offset of about ± 5°. Removing the auto randomized rotation of the sticky notes is very irritating to anyone who likes things that line up neatly.
- Miro has increased design productivity when working with smaller teams.
- All gains of time efficiency when roadmap planning on Miro are washed away when moving the information out of Miro.
Personally, I feel like there are no great solutions for remote whiteboarding. Miro does an on par job with other leading whiteboarding solutions on the market.

Figma has different use cases but it is very versatile. Jamboard is free and does most of what Miro is good at.
