Overall Satisfaction with Miro

It is being used for remote collaboration, at first sporadically but now more broadly adopted but still not mature. We use it for requirements discussions, sprint retrospectives, meeting collaboration, mind mapping, etc. Those who use it love it, so it is gaining in usage as individual users evangelize its usefulness.
  • Remote collaboration.
  • Ongoing scratch pad for ideas.
  • Capturing and discussing large complex systems or ideas.
  • Better zoom in/zoom out functionality.
  • Highlight changes in a document since last visit.
  • Better fonts.
  • Improved remote collaboration.
  • Improved ability to communicate complicated concepts.
  • Improved project awareness across the team.
I was not involved with the implementation, so I can't comment on it.
Never tried to integrate Miro with anything, so I can't comment on it.
As I've said, it's played a significant role in us becoming "digital-first". Being able to have a dozen or more people contributing to a board and then having a productive conversation has not been possible with other remote tools that we have tried.

Do you think Miro delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Miro's feature set?

Yes

Did Miro live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Miro go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Miro again?

Yes

Better. Easier to use. Less overhead. The one advantage that the other products have is the integration with Confluence.
With the covid, we have become a digital-first company. I find that Miro is a good and sometimes superior substitute for standing in front of a whiteboard with a marker. Anytime I need to map out something complicated and discuss it with others, Miro is my first choice. I wish it integrated with Confluence so we could embed Miro documents in our Wikis.
