Overall Satisfaction with Miro
I use Miro for online collaboration in an agile environment. It has various use stories - the most advanced examples are PI Planning meetings with more than 80 active contributors supported by multiple agile facilitators. But also, since Miro is more and more familiar with the organization, I sometimes use it as a quick tool for draft notes and ad hoc mind-maps (brainstorming), even without other participants, but with the perspective to share the content later and discuss. The flexibility of Miro is almost unlimited and therefore it is a creative tool.
Pros
- Tables with rich content and live collaboration (like Kanban boards)
- Provides a clear space for creative notes and deep thinking (like mindmaps and flow charts)
- It is a bit like Adobe Illustrator, but online with collaboration. It is super flexible to create whatever you like (like wire-frames, re-thinking and redesigning web content)
Cons
- mindmaps could be more flexible to design (colors, frames, arrows)
- performance issues during big meetings (long loading time, high cpu utilization)
- when there are a lot of boards created by different people from different teams it is hard to manage the links and keep things organized. I think I to create a Miro board just to organize the list of the boards I use (like bookmarks split by the areas and topics)
- Since we use Miro teams prefer to meet online then in the meeting room
- A typical meeting has more participants and it engages a single person more than in case of the meeting in a room
- We became a real global team since people from different physical places collaborate effectively
As I wrote, the international organization became a truly global organization. The roles that were in the past gathered in a single country (head office) are now open for talents across the World.
Do you think Miro delivers good value for the price?
Not sure
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?
I wasn't involved with the implementation phase
Would you buy Miro again?
Yes
Miro is more flexible and based on the idea that you need to build anything a bit from scratch. Sometimes this is not an advantage and the more out-of-the-box tools are better. Still, Miro has the advantage that you can play with the design and this way have more fun with the collaboration.
