Overall Satisfaction with Miro
Miro serves as an incredibly useful digital platform for storyboarding, project planning, assessments, or most exciting for me is brainstorming. Miro is an interactive visual workspace where we can take ideas and engage with them, ultimately helping us to capture organize and connect those ideas in a natural and engaging way. For the user, Miro is completely straightforward. Its UX design is organized with an interface that makes onloading to the platform simple, and collaboration seamless.One of Miro's best selling features is its adaptability: with a number of templates, tools and visual formats outlining, sticky notes, flowchart, diagrams, or mind maps, Miro helps us express our ideas in many different forms. This adaptability and creativity make it a wonderful tool, especially for helping teams align actions, provoke creativity or enabling us to transfer messy ideas into a clear plan of action.Miro provides a shared digital canvas, enabling our thoughts to be visualized, while simultaneously allowing all team members to engage and engage regardless of location!
Pros
- Real-Time Collaboration: Multiple team members can add sticky notes, draw, and comment on the same board simultaneously—just like being in a physical workshop, but online.
- Structured Yet Flexible Workflows: Teams can use ready-made templates (Kanban, mind maps, customer journey maps) or build custom workflows that evolve as the project changes.
- Effective Remote Workshops & Brainstorming : During retrospectives, participants can share ideas on sticky notes and use built-in voting to prioritize the best ones quickly.
- Integration with Other Tools: Sticky notes created in Miro can be converted into Jira tasks or Asana items, helping teams move from ideation to execution seamlessly.
- Visualizing Complex Projects: Cross-functional teams map dependencies, timelines, and responsibilities in one shared space, making the big picture easy to grasp while still allowing detail-level focus.
Cons
- The Kanban board provided by Miro is not that user-friendly as compared to other tools that I have used.
- I Sometimes have experienced slowness while working with Miro and it really frustrating.
- I would love to see more color, organic shapes, post-it shapes, and fonts added to the tool in the future.
- Zoom-in-out feature, this can be better.
- Navigation on big boards can feel confusing and disorienting.
- Improved productivity by making discussions quite organized.
- Helped to convoy ideas, initiatives visually and efficiently.
- Helps to share ideas/feedback/comments easily for people who are not vocals on normal calls.
- Provides a safe collaborative space
The features that have most influenced my day-to-day are sticky notes for quick, spontaneous brainstorming, templates for building and filling out detailed structures, and frames for content organization on larger boards. Real-time collaboration and voting are also very powerful-it raises the bar on the quality of workshops and creates better engagement in team discussions."
Miro has certainly helped lessen the dependence on many other tools. Before I used multiple tools for brainstorming, flowcharting and collaborative planning, but now I do most of that in Miro. Instead of going between a whiteboarding app, slides for presentation and spreadsheets for prioritization, I can capture ideas, create visualizations for dependencies, and set project workflows all on one board. This helps reduce tool overload, but also enables to have better collaboration since the entire team works in a single shared space and not on different platforms.
In the pandemic, when we could no longer meet in person, we transitioned to Miro during our video calls. By the collaboration tools we used may have been similar, but Miro enabled the conversations to flow much more productively. Instead of dealing with various scattered documents, and tools, we could capture everyone's ideas all in one place. Miro also facilitated our planning by allowing us a visual means to plot projects and understand dependencies and conduct organization of tasks. This proved to be a big help when aligning priorities, but also when planning work for my team. The more exciting information is that in the period after the pandemic, we have continued the practice of working in this way, and Miro remains a primary space for brainstorming, planning and collaborating, and working across locations and engagement to keep everyone on the same page.
I have worked with Jamboard, but I found Miro to be much more flexible and feature rich. Miro has tons of templates you can use it has a corresponding set of collaboration capabilities with features like clustering sticky notes and voting. When it came to organizing a large board I felt that Miro was smarter and offered better organizational capabilities. The versatility to integrate other tools and visually manage complex projects makes Miro a more valuable tool for day-to-day team collaboration (particularly if you work remotely/distributed team). Overall Miro provides teams not only a complete and flexible digital platform for brainstorming and planning but also project management.

Using Miro
- Operations Team.
- Project Management Teams.
- Support Leadership Team.
- Focus groups
- cohorots
- Presenting Multiple Ideas and getting vote on them.
- We use it to conduct interactive onboarding sessions for our new hires, allowing them to explore company processes and workflows directly on the board.
- Miro has been effective for mapping complex support case flows, making it easier for cross-functional teams to visualize dependencies and troubleshoot issues, plotting and designing a process flow.
- Interactive Training & Onboarding – Create visual, interactive playbooks and guides for new hires or cross-team training.
- Strategic Planning & Roadmaps – Map out long-term projects, dependencies, and resource allocation for better organizational alignment.
- Cross-Team Workshops & Innovation Sessions – Facilitate design sprints, brainstorming, and process improvement initiatives across distributed teams.
Evaluating Miro and Competitors
Yes - Miro replaced Jamboard in our organization because we wanted a more capable and feature-rich platform to support more complex projects with more templates and real-time collaboration over geographic distance. Miro's better organization, integrating tools, and engaging platforms ultimately made it an overall better tool for our day-to-day work than Jamboard.
- Ease of Use
Ease of use is what has driven us to buy Miro. An intuitive interface has allowed the team to start immediately and with no learning curve (maturity), while still providing ample opportunity for advanced use with collaboration, project planning, or brainstorming work. Its ease of use also helped promote acceptance on remote and distributed teams.
If we had to do it again, we might spend more time exploring integrations with other tools in our tech stack and testing how Miro handles very large or complex boards. Additionally, involving a few more cross-functional team members in the evaluation could help identify use cases we hadn’t initially considered, ensuring an even smoother adoption process.
Miro Implementation

MIro is used in multiple functions in my org, the people team use it so do the program managment teams. Technical Teams also use it for jamming and so its used in our technical training sessions for jolting ideas.
I am really not sure who supports miro in my org, we as team just hop on it and do our things. But i belive like all other tools in our org the it-tooling team takes care of it but again not sure of the number of members in this tool.
Miro Training
- No Training
Yes, Miro is relatively intuitive and easy to pick up without formal training. Most of the team members were able to use it effectively just by familiarizing themselves with the interface and the provided templates. I would suggest this to others, particularly to smaller teams or for short-term projects, although formal training would be ideal to gain access to the advanced features available.
Configuring Miro
A few best practices for setting Miro up for one team are as follows: using frames to best organize and structure large boards, utilizing templates for repetitive workflows to save time, and consistently color-coding and labeling to make navigation easier for other team members. Additionally, MSO: Setting permissions carefully so a team member doesn't accidentally update important content; we don't want the team to

- Real-Time Collaboration – Multiple team members can simultaneously add notes, draw, and comment, making remote teamwork seamless.
- Organizing Complex Boards – Frames, sticky notes, and templates allow users to structure large projects visually and intuitively.
- Brainstorming & Prioritization – Tools like voting, clustering, and color-coding make idea generation and decision-making quick and efficient.
- Managing Very Large Boards – Performance can slow down when boards have hundreds of elements, making navigation and zooming laggy.
- Advanced Text Formatting – Limited font, table, and styling options make creating polished documents or presentations harder.
- Complex Voting or Prioritization – Built-in voting features are basic and don’t support weighted or anonymous ranking well.
- Mobile Editing – The mobile and tablet experience is less smooth, limiting usability on the go.
Yes - Yes, Miro offers a mobile interface in its app , i have used the Android one. While it can be useful for reviewing boards and working on small changes on the go, the mobile experience is not nearly as seamless or full-featured as desktop, especially when dealing with larger complex boards or for group workshops.
Miro Reliability
Integrating Miro
- Slack
- jira
The Miro integrations were handled by the IT team, so I'm not sure what all was done. My impression is that they created integrations to applications like Jira and Slack for workflows. I wasn’t part of the execution, so I can’t comment on the depth or difficulty of the integration.

Not Sure as its IT teams job and decision
- File import/export
Not sure
My advice would be to involve your IT team early when planning integrations, as they can help ensure smooth setup and compatibility with existing tools. Start with the most critical systems like project management or communication platforms, and test integrations on smaller boards before scaling. Clear documentation and training for end users can also help maximize the benefits.
