Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it for online teaching.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Allow effective collaboration between students.
Allow students to draw from various sources and use those sources in their contributions.
Have templates for different board types.

Cons

Templates that support educational projects, rather than business ones.
More responsive to scrolling and zooming, panning.
An easier way to identify contributions from specific people.

Return on Investment

This doesn't really apply to my use and speaks to the business focus of the company and product.

Implementation Rating

[The] browser-based platform is robust and open, however, is less than smooth in zooming/panning functionality Less responsive than would be ideal,

Because anyone can just use it in a browser, it's very easy to integrate into student workflows Would like to have this product integrated into our Learning Management System, however, and that is a bit more difficult to do properly.

Collaboration

I haven't used Miro as a Team, only in educational settings, but it has been a key collaborative tool for my students in my course.

Alternatives Considered

MURAL (formerly Mural.ly) and Stormboard

Easier to use, simpler, but some of these alternatives are better designed for educational contexts

Other Software Used

Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Canvas

Likelihood to Recommend

Online learning, when contributions can be made synchronously and seen in [the] process by contributors Business and strategic planning; many of the templates are designed for this purpose and they're great for that Could have better features for async collaboration, such as notifications, or history of contributions, etc. But limited templates for educational contexts.
