Overall Satisfaction with Miro
Specific individuals and departments use it within my organization for all sorts of purposes - brainstorming, design, process mapping, collaboration, notetaking, wireframing, story mapping, etc.
- Creative uses for varied teams/departments/businesses.
- Easy to maneuver.
- Frames for presentation ease.
- Process Flows.
- Group Brainstorming.
- Performance issues (load time).
- More templates would be great with ease to change themes/colors.
- "My boards" section.
- Improved productivity.
- Improved design.
- Improved creativity.
- Improved collaboration.
- Improved cross-department teamwork.
It has helped in so many ways! My teams are spread out geographically (and most are currently remote), but this allows us to work together and see updates in real-time. We have all become very proficient at Miro and can brainstorm, come up with process flows, etc. in a short time.

Evaluating Miro and Competitors
- Scalability
- Ease of Use
I work for a financial institution, so integration/cloud options aren't typically something that are enabled for us to use. Ease of use is important as we are big organization with different ranges of technical ability, so it's important the system appears friendly and is easy to figure out quickly.
N/a - I was not involved in evaluation/selection process when Miro was onboarded.
