Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Miro is currently used for all types of collaborative work, from crafting a mission statement, to mapping projects to users for project management purposes. And in between, everything is collaboration-wise, including doing our team's quarterly retrospective. It allows for real-time collaboration while bringing the "touchy" element of traditional boards and Post-Its, which makes interactions feel a lot more real as if people were physically exchanging ideas in the same room.
  • Crafting a team's mission statement, vision, etc.
  • Doing a team's quarterly retrospective (What worked, what was challenging, etc).
  • Mapping projects to contributors (Like a concept map).
  • The little window showing where a person is on the Miro board oftentimes doesn't display correctly (Seems a bit buggy).
  • Improved productivity, given how easy it is to jot down and organize ideas.
  • Improved engagement when collaborating with peers given its realistic look and feel.
  • Almost no learning curve given how intuitive it is.
As mentioned, improving the zoom "map" would make it easier to use.
I've seen it integrated with JIRA, Google images, and others, which makes it very user-friendly.
Miro has lowered the barrier for collaboration by providing a user-friendly, hyperrealistic look and feel tool that mirrors that of physical boards and post-its, while at the same time providing an enhanced experience that includes, among many features, the ability to export boards for offline use, timers, etc.

The real-time collaborative experience provided by Miro is unparalleled.
Best for real-time interaction, especially where brainstorming is important, like when developing strategic topics like a mission statement, a vision, etc. Less suitable for project management, because the connections between contributors and projects can get really dense and hard to interpret once you have more than a handful of projects and a handful of contributors.
