Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Miro is used throughout the organization in the delivery of projects for our clients. In this age of near-complete virtual interaction, it has been an easy-to-use tool to facilitate group discussion, whiteboard sessions, workshops, etc. I am currently using it to facilitate groups of stakeholders in workshops where we are facilitating the consolidation and harmonization of processes.
  • It can serve as a single point to easily reference all actively-used content.
  • It's great for use in a workshop setting where you would jump between whiteboards or flip charts in person. You can achieve the same result by zooming in and out on relevant areas on your canvas.
  • Miro's many templates are also helpful in providing a useful starting point when creating content.
  • I would like it if there were more flexibility and/or control over text within all objects. For example, I can bold text in a text object but cannot in the sticky note object.
  • It would be great if Miro had the ability to read in and convert Visio drawings into objects (instead of an image) if desired.
  • There should be options when copying in Excel content that allows you to choose if you want it to come in as a series of sticky notes (default) or an image, or table, etc.
  • I do not have quotable, quantifiable data regarding Miro's impact on our business.
  • The use of Miro enables the delivery of project deliverables in those situations where getting group consensus is required.
  • Given that Miro enables workshops, etc., I can anecdotally indicate that its use reduces individual stakeholder contact requirements because you can efficiently coordinate and facilitate a group of individuals at the same time using Miro.
Miro works well and is fairly intuitive. Where it is not, there's decent documentation, if you know where to look, where a new user can upskill on Miro's use and be client-ready with very little preparation time. Miro's templates (both smaller "base" objects and groups that allow a "solution") is also very convenient during content creation and while preparing for client interactions.
I am not able to comment on this question definitely. I know that Miro integrates with a lot of applications, but I have not used any of this functionality directly. I have displayed Miro boards while using Teams but it did not perform that sharing by use of any specific integration.

As I already indicated, given our increased virtual interactions, Miro is an easy-to-use tool to facilitate group discussion, whiteboard sessions, workshops, etc. I am currently using it to facilitate groups of stakeholders in workshops where we are facilitating the consolidation and harmonization of processes. I have also used Miro in a "war room" scenario where we made a single point to easily reference all active content for a particular client.
