Miro's Capacity versus its Productivity
Overall Satisfaction with Miro
We use miro as a virtual classroom at the University of Washington. With the pandemic requiring virtual learning to be accessible, we often use Miro as a sort of "virtual pin-up space". By posting our pdfs and ideas to miro, we can leave notes and collaborate in ways that simply zoom-based learning would not allow for.
Pros
- Miro allows for PDF uploads
- Miro allows for easy critique with sticky notes.
- Miro has capacity for a large number of users to collaborate at once.
Cons
- Miro crashes quite often
- Moving around images and pdfs is laggy and non-uniform.
- Miro is a little touchy in terms of creating and moving spaces.
- It has made it more difficult to accomplish projects due to lag
- It has made communication more difficult between team members at times
- It has made it possible to still collaborate when forced to interact virtually.
It has definitely made things easier in the era of zoom. Without a collaborative online whiteboard, team members usually have to resort to sharing screens or doing fairly janky methods of collaboration. Miro definitely opened up a new avenue for communication and allowed visual understanding to accompany people's verbal explanations
Do you think Miro delivers good value for the price?
Yes
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?
Yes
Would you buy Miro again?
No
Figma is honestly what I hoped Miro would be. If Miro was able to optimize its systems and not be overwhelmed by mass collaboration, then it would compete with Figma. Miro does have some more intuitive features like sticky notes, but overall Figma is significantly stronger than Miro at the end of the day.
