Overall Satisfaction with Miro
Miro is currently being used across the department for a variety of uses. I've used it for: - Design brainstorming - Team building - Project management - Template building - Central idea repository It has been a helpful tool for bringing teams together remotely and whiteboarding. The biggest business problem it has addressed was the shift to working from home.
Pros
- Workshop collaboration.
- Team white boarding.
- Template building for websites.
Cons
- Workshops -- it is hard for new users to understand how to use and navigate the tool.
- Loading content -- sometimes it takes a long time for content to load especially on boards with a lot of items.
- Saving content -- there have been times when random areas of the board have been erased.
- Positive - Keeping team collaboration alive during the pandemic.
- Positive - Having a virtual whiteboard.
- Negative - frustration during workshops.
Miro has been the main way my team has been collaborating. For working remotely, it seems like our best bet, and it's been nice to look back on ideation sessions instead of looking at a photo of a whiteboard. We've also been able to use Miro as a deliverable tool so that clients can see how work is progressing.

- MURAL (formerly Mural.ly)
I found that the user experience for Mural was smoother and felt more designer-focused. However, my understanding is that there are security concerns with using Mural and that is why the company chose Miro. In comparison, Miro has been a fine second choice, but I wish it was as clean and aesthetically pleasing as Mural.
