Overall Satisfaction with Miro

On my team, I mainly use Miro to collaborate with others. The main activities include brainstorming, project planning, visual representations, and other collaborative activities. I have established a practice of opening up a Miro board for every new project and using that as the shared space to share information and gather feedback. The larger team has started to adopt this approach as well and feels strongly about the tool.

Pros

  • Brainstorming
  • Retrospectives
  • Project Planning

Cons

  • Security - sometimes it's confusing who has access to the board vs. the team and the education plan only allows for one admin which makes it a bit difficult to manage
  • Commenting feature is a bit awkward, not sure the tagging of others notifies the people like some other software
  • Saves time - information is one place instead of several Word or Excel documents
  • Alignment - people on the team can agree on things and are all looking at the same thing
There is a learning curve to the tool. I think templates help new users get started so we initially started using them for retrospectives or brainstorming with existing templates. Now, that I am more familiar with the tool, I usually start from scratch with a blank board and build based on my goals of the uses.
It is somewhat difficult for your organization is on a platform with similar functionality (such as Microsoft Teams). It does sometimes make people feel uncomfortable having to use an external tool. I limit what I put into Miro, a lot of internal information, I'm not as comfortable putting on there, whereas for Teams I do put it.
Have not used it as much honestly.

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?

Yes

Did implementation of Miro go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Miro again?

Yes

Launching a new project where everything is in one place. Everyone has an opportunity to contribute their thoughts in real-time or asynchronously. It really helps when working with those outside your organization as well. It also works well while you are videoconferencing to take notes or share ideas. Overall, it really helps facilitate collaboration.
