Overall Satisfaction with Miro

As a student, Miro was able to create a platform where the "pin-up" commonly used in architectural and art critique was almost exactly replicated digitally, collaboratively, and with more flexibility than a traditional pin-up would allow. Miro also allowed for presentations to be created entirely within, rather than resorting to the use of Powerpoint, Keynote, etc.
  • Handles web traffic and lots of users at once well.
  • Drag and drop for files works great.
  • Great for quick mood boards.
  • Desktop app is somehow not as good as simply using the browser.
  • Text manipulation could be more rich.
  • Further customizability of existing templates.
  • Overall learning curve at the beginning, familiarizing with capabilities and shortcomings.
The desktop app seems to be worse than the browser. In addition, the iPad app works well. I am not sure how well it works on iPhone, but that may be due to it being a smaller device.
We mainly use image/pdf-based pin-ups, simply dragging and dropping and quickly being able to resize within an infinite artboard is extremely helpful.
It has allowed for collaboration where there would not be - as Miro took place of physical pin-ups and reviews. It, however, cannot replicate the studio time spent in a school with professors and students in a working environment.

  • MURAL (formerly Mural.ly)
Miro is more seamless, faster, and overall more pleasant to use. much nicer interface. I have used both concurrently and for about the same time and can say I much prefer Miro - the iPad app is also miles ahead of the Mural iPad app.
Miro is well suited for pin-ups and one on one reviews between student(s) and professors. It works well for midterm and final reviews as the link capability allow for outside guest critics to see the Miro board directly, rather than from another person's screen through a conference call program, where they can catch up on their own or zoom in further to the details (text, mostly imagery).
