Overall Satisfaction with Miro

My organization has been using Miro to train college students and employees in an engaging way through pandemic distancing measures. This has allowed for better interaction, visual understanding (with features like post-its in boxes and reactions), and community in the isolation of the pandemic world.

Pros

  • Diversity of features
  • Great professional look
  • Fun to use

Cons

  • Not necessarily intuitive—requires a lot of work to grasp how to use.
  • Forum difficult to use in areas with bad broadband (including where my students live).
  • Engaging online learning
  • More fun in team meetings
  • Greater creativity in problem-solving
A needed tool for online communication
I needed a course on using Miro for work and still have challenges remembering how to operate in the app.
We are now able to share ideas and interact with others ideas in a perfect collaborative pace. I have appreciated using post-its with coworkers to add comments for new ideas, reactions to share I have had similar issues, and connecting lines to follow an idea thread.

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

Miro is the most professional of the apps listed above (in terms of look, accessibility, and availability of features).
Miro is a forum I would highly recommend to anyone working online. It is perfect for brainstorming and promoting creativity. I have always appreciated my experience with work meetings in Miro. I would warn colleagues who live in low-broadband areas (such as myself in Appalachia) that this forum can be challenging if there are users with slower internet or older computers. I also would not recommend to those who do not have the time to invest in learning how to operate Miro. For those who do, Miro is worth the learning time for the many possibilities of online work it unlocks.
