Overall Satisfaction with Miro

We are using Miro as a collaborative tool in all our workshops and ideation sessions, mostly internally but also with clients to support our understanding of their needs. Additionally, in my case, I also use Miro for my research about trends and client needs, as well as preparation tools for pitches. From my point of view, the main problem it addresses is the lack of flexibility of videoconference tools in order to collaborate and put work and ideas together. I would also say that the freedom of format and structure that Miro gives you is its main advantage for your own work when compared to PowerPoint or Word.
  • Brainstorming.
  • Structuring.
  • Story telling.
  • Integration with other tools.
  • Formatting of text boxes.
  • Detect when you want to navigate instead of moving things.
  • Visualizations are great, and people tend to buy more of your ideas.
  • Brainstorming sessions are easy to handle and very fruitful.
  • Asynchronous collaboration has been made easy.
In my case, it was very easy to start using it, but I am not in charge of implementing Miro within my organization.
Again, my experience with starting to use Miro has been very smooth, with an easily integrated SSO for my company, so no need of filling in useless information.
My company, being multinational, used to have a lot of interactions in-person when travel was not limited. Since the pandemic and telework, Miro has completely filled the gap for collaboration purposes, helping people to come together for ideation and workshops. It's been a smooth transition from the in-person sessions we had in the past.

Would you buy Miro again?

Yes

Miro gives you more flexibility and ease of use compared to similar products and competitors. In addition to this, Miro has worked hard to get integrations with other main collaboration tools, which helps with the purpose of having one place for all your team interactions.
Miro is especially useful when you need to gather ideas and input from your colleagues, as it gives them the freedom to write everything as they want. Additionally, for your work, it helps you to have very different sources of information in one place, supporting your insight process. In my opinion, it is less suited for presentation with clients (specifically sales pitches), as the interactive part is not adding any value, and the transition from potential slides to others is not the purpose of the tool.
