Overall Satisfaction with Miro

We use Miro generally for Workshop facilitation between working groups (internal BU), external vendors and for running user test sessions and user research activities. The main use case in general is in general collaborative feedbacks collections over a series of live activities. We also have a secondary usage of research synthesis and content evaluation of foundational research activities.
  • Group work.
  • Live preview of people editing.
  • Simple access for external people.
  • Easy drawing for non designers.
  • Board navigation during live events.
  • Design detail for pro users.
  • Asset library management (more in the concept of Figma symbols).
  • Performance on PC.
  • Artboard management and layer editing.
  • Enabled the possibility to have remote workshop session.
  • Live editing and reporting of notes from research interview.
  • Collaborative live documents across team members.
In general it is working well, I see low performance on large artboards and in general if you have many pictures (for example if you create moodboards). One limit that potentially can be optimized by showing a low-res version of faraway elements and optimizing resolution when the board is in focus (more similar to deep field logic of videogames!).
Good integration with Slack and email, I'm still wondering if there will be the possibility to better connect MS suite, from Word to Excel or even better Google Suite for exporting raw data. I would love as well to have also advanced export solutions similar to Adobe AE or InDesign packages that download all contents from a board in an organized folder so you can find them easily offline.
Miro accelerates the possibility to have collaborative projects event without being live present in a room and in particular for remote teams on different continents also the opportunity to have a continuous workflow 24hrs, progressively evolving the common moodboard without the need of sharing file via external repository or emails.

Currently we are using Figma, one of the main competitors with their Figjam solutions, and in general we use also Figma itself for more design-driven creation activities. Same collaborations, more complexity in people hosting and limits but good performances in design creation. On the other side figjam is a good idea to include some Miro abilities in Figma, so good integrations for content sharing internally but still, performance/design and features are way behind the current Miro solution.
For running collaborative events with pre-set activities for non-design users (or designers focusing on non-design creation) I will recommend Miro, for the easiness of use, for the simplicity of board and elements navigation and for accessibility to external people in the organization. Is it also good for reviewing content from interviews or user tests, but less helpful when you need to translate insights into structured documents.
