Overall Satisfaction with Miro

I use Miro to conduct process mapping, workshops, kanban planning, and independent sandboxing. My favorite tools are the process mapping tools because they are very easy to use. I wish some of the templates for higher-end functions were easier to edit but if you enjoy taking the time to make your own products and templates, it is very customizable. I have also used it as a whiteboard in meetings and the voting function is fantastic for a workshop or design thinking session. The timer and music functions are nice to have.

Pros

  • Easy-to-use tools and templates
  • Very easy to share
  • Convenient to build your own templates
  • Very nice aesthetics

Cons

  • More impactful out-of-the-box templates from a visual perspective
  • Better music selection
  • The ability to hotkey insertable objects, like sticky notes
  • Improved productivity
  • Improved collaboration internally
  • Presents well to design teams for review and approval of concepts
Very easy to train and integrate into our organization. Almost no training is required to use this tool.
This is the primary function of Miro in our organization. We use it to collaborate on dozens of projects at a nonstop rate. I usually have a Miro board open on my computer.

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Miro again?

Miro takes disciplines and ideas from several tools I have used and tagged. It doesn't do better than any other tool I have used in the specific area, but as a one-stop shop, it does well. It's worth noting that in no way is this tool designed for data manipulation, data visualization, or data warehousing.

Great tool for workshops, sandboxing your own ideas, and great for process mapping. It is a good all-in-one tool. There are better options for the specific tools out there, such as kanban boards, but if you do not want to jump to a half dozen tools, it works well. It is not well suited toward building a Powerpoint or Excel inputs. An improvement could be made to help you template your board into a Powerpoint. If that exists already, I have not seen it.
