Overall Satisfaction with Miro

In my organization, Miro is available to all staff members. I have seen Miro being used as a collaboration tool in many different ways: internal reporting, project management, team building, facilitator of brainstorming at large. It has been used also to deliver a newsletter to a large number of users.

Pros

  • Support of brainstorming.
  • Compact visualization of large amounts of information (thanks to the zoom function).
  • Project management support for large processes.

Cons

  • Copy paste functionalities could be improved.
  • The interface with Office suite at large could be made smoother / more intuitive.
  • Reduced project completion time.
  • User satisfaction/team wellbeing.
I like it a lot, but sometimes I find it hard to navigate the different setups in which the tool is implemented (e.g. browser-based vs. integrated into MS teams).
Integration of some functionalities (download of info but also copy-paste of single portion of the dashboards) could be improved.
Impact on team collaboration is very positive in a fully remote working setup and it is likely not to change in a hybrid environment, even though it may prompt the need for different hardware solutions (bigger screens) as people move back to a physical location.

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

Microsoft Teams, Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365), Webex Meetings
Well suited for team collaboration where the team is pretty homogeneous or where cooperation takes place across different hierarchical layers of the organization. Not so well suited when the sensitivity of the information may prevent access rights to awarded to a broader audience: the binary scenario is between having access or not having access, cannot export a portion of the information, for example.
