Overall Satisfaction with Miro
We have a company-wide license for Miro at my workplace, but I used it for free prior to that as I totally love the platform. It's super useful for collaborating and workshop sessions which I hold a lot of in my role.
- Super easy to pick up.
- Great at visual storytelling, which is not always easy to achieve inside PPT or other tools.
- Saves you creating boards from scratch by giving access to tons of templates.
- Love finding other people's templates/boards that they adapted.
- I find myself clicking on multiple things before I get where I want to go, i.e. sometimes objects like sticky notes don't move/drag where I want them to, sometimes I end up having multiples of the same and then can't delete them quickly.
- The fit on-screen function would be nice because scrolling through huge boards can be a pain.
- Emojis are not very pretty! Would love to have access to simple icons or emojis. Googling and copy-pasting them is great but often transfers the image background across and I can't always remove it (either by pasting or by dragging. It seems to work at random).
- Quicker to set up sessions.
- Easy to onboard colleagues.
- People get impressed when by the end of the session we achieve so much.
- It's great for productivity.
Yes, totally. It was used to run lots of sessions within my team and very successfully. We could have done some in Excel or whatnot, but it would certainly not be the same with one person transcribing, as opposed to all users adding value.
