Overall Satisfaction with Miro
I use Miro internally with my account team members and externally with my client's team. It's a great platform to simulate a workshop-like experience when we can't be in the same room due to the pandemic and/or the globally distributed nature of the team. The difference between using a collaborative document or simply going through a presentation is evident - the level of engagement when we use Miro is definitely higher even if some users struggle with usability initially (typically they warm up quickly to it since it's quite intuitive). I also really like the plethora of templates and features available, which make anything from planning and brainstorming to prioritizing a breeze. Miro provides the layout and functionality which works for both my teams and clients, compared to other collaboration tools.
- Ease of annotating.
- A wide array of visualization options.
- Segmenting with the group function.
- Notification on changes made by other collaborators.
- Group toolbars together instead of spreading things across 4 corners of the window.
- Higher engagement from workshop participants and team members.
- Improved productivity as it's easier to get our thoughts together and visualize things.
This is something Miro does particularly well and is the key reason I'd recommend it. We were able to have a bird's eye view of the different components as it's so easy to upload pictures, add post-its, draw some kind of prioritization matrix all in one place. It has helped my organization to effectively plan areas to focus on, create a backlog, and facilitate discussions.

- MURAL (formerly Mural.ly) and Trello
I faced more performance issues with MURAL - it took longer to load although the templates and outline/guidance were great. Trello is amazing to get my team organized but is limited to brainstorming. Miro works better in terms of usability and seems more intuitive although pricing-wise is steeper as well.
