Overall Satisfaction with Miro

We use it for strategic planning, workshops, and retrospectives. For strategic planning, I use it to present product roadmaps to stakeholders and the team to make sure we're all on the same page. For workshops, we use Miro to be able to conduct larger-scale workshops where the majority of the participants are working remotely. The weekly usage is for retrospectives for a software development team.

Pros

  • allow remote teams to collaborate
  • it's easy to use
  • visualize workflows and ideas

Cons

  • I'd like "elements" of your workspace to snap to a grid easier when it's getting crowded with arrows and boxes
  • when a lot of people use the "track participants" feature, it's a bit processor heavy
  • Better "avatars" when moving around the boards
  • A clear visual presentation of the roadmap made in Miro has been appreciated
It's intuitive, and works well for the product team in the daily work, but I've also seen that it's easy for stakeholder and "non-tech" people to get what they're supposed to do fairly quickly.
The post-it stack has in all its simplicity turned out to be our most used feature. It's just nice to not having to create them yourselves and everyone just know how to interact with it.

And then we're using some roadmap templates, if those could be improved with some more "automation", that would replace external tools such as Monday.com etc.
Yes, we're using the Figma Figjam less now, but that might be because Figma isn't as widespread in our company as Miro is. The Teams implementation of Miro has also made us use one person screen sharing less and it's more interactive for everyone in the virtual meeting, which has helped us having people being more involved.
I'm not really sure what "implementation" means in this context. But I assume we are talking about how we integrated Miro into our workflow and how the admin was handled? In that case, I think it has worked out fine, it's super easy to get people on board and to get everyone working from day one with a little introduction.
The implementation into Teams has helped us a lot, as I've described in the previous question.
It has improved the team ability for sure, but even more, it has helped us throw in non-team-members into the loop and have short or long sessions with them. I'd say it has made it even more smooth than throwing these meetings at a physical workplace. And since most people tend to have used Miro a lot since the pandemic we don't really spend any time on introductions anymore.
We chose Miro because it filled the blanks when it comes to interactive collaboration and visualization. None of the other tools we use daily promotes the kind of active involvement by the team members and our external workshop or meeting participants. Miro has become the standard tool at our company. I guess the Google-made tools could have done the job as well.

Do you think Miro delivers good value for the price?

Did Miro live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Miro go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Miro again?

Yes

The best use case for me is to visualize roadmaps and product strategies. It's easy to modify and develop over time. Less appropriate use cases have shown to be when you have hybrid meetings where half of the participants are in one room and the rest join in remotely - but that is probably more a case of how we utilize Miro.

Using Miro

  • Larger meetings
  • Retros
  • Workshops
  • More interactive and nice looking meeting agendas that occur weekly
  • Meetings in Miro - with the video and voice in there as well. Eliminate the need for Teams.

Evaluating Miro and Competitors

  • Scalability
  • Integration with Other Systems
  • Ease of Use
The fact that it is implemented in all of our Teams has helped us a lot with involvement. No need to send out URLs or screen share, it's just there for people to start interact with it, and no-one seems to have any issues really. The ease of use, and how established it is makes the continued use a no-brainer.
I'd probably look into whatever Google and Figma does that could compete with Miro, but then again Miro is so established in my organisation that just the hassle of introducing non-tech people to other tools would be too much work, and I doubt any of the other companies has a feature set that would make that work worth it.
