Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Miro is used by 100+ people in our organization, from a variety of departments, but primarily the design, estimation, and VDC departments. It acts as a great visual/presentation tool for us to clearly explain our thought process, current plan, and next steps. For example, pull-planning of a construction project schedule; working out the to-do items for a particular task; mapping the thought process behind a particular decision; career discussions. It's easy to use and has lots of creative ways to express one's thoughts and processes.
  • Easy to use.
  • Lots of creative ways to express one's thoughts and processes.
  • Love the Mind map tool to be able to connect multiple shapes with each other, that too on a single node.
  • The ability to collaborate on a virtual whiteboard with multiple people is super useful, especially while people are working from home!
  • Some of the tools are not intuitive - for example, when I click on a shape in the Project Organization template in order to edit the text inside it, it makes me pan the entire screen, whereas other times it makes me move the shape.
  • Sometimes, the post-it type shape does not allow editing the text inside it - that is of course, annoying!
  • Too many tools get overwhelming to a lot of people in our org.
  • Better collaboration on a project-wide decision.
  • Clearer way of communication.
  • Saves time when working together on a task.
Providing several different templates for use is a great way to suit the requirements of multiple types of teams in different types of organizations. Although, I believe Miro needs to reach more people by reaching out to various organizations and explaining the reasons behind "why" teams should start using it.
Miro has integrations with all major collaborative platforms; no complaints there.

Miro's ease of use, various capabilities to be able to act as a note-taking, collaborating, prioritizing tool, presentation tool, brainstorming tool - it beats them all. We don't need to pay for multiple tools for multiple uses, but only one tool for it all.
Miro is very useful when on a project you have collaborators that are distributed across the nation (or the world) and are not able to travel to the same office every day - since it provides a virtual whiteboard for all to participate and have a collaborative brainstorming session. Also, if you alone are working on some mind mapping - instead of using paper - Miro is recommended so that you can access it from anywhere, present it to anyone (just in case), and you're saving paper!
