Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Miro primarily for brainstorming sessions and ideating new ideas. It allows us to put all our ideas in one place as a group, simultaneously, and then organize them by themes.

Pros and Cons

Pros

unique user experience
lots of tool options/choose your adventure
easy to access from any computer

Cons

I believe it could do a better job of helping to organize. sometimes when there are too many people working at once, it gets messy and we end up going in circles with our discussions
could be more intuitive/user-friendly. i can't put my finger on exactly what it is, but trying to work quickly in miro is tough and i find myself spending more time figuring out the tool or helping others do so
maybe it needs a native app vs. just the browser access?

Return on Investment

reduced productivity in agile work sessions
easier marketing flow reviews

Not sure if a native app exists, but maybe that would make it a more intuitive product to use. I feel like having it in the browser makes it feel limited and a bit confusing, which ends up slowing down team members.

Ease of Integration

Just open the browser / link and you're there! Super easy.

Collaboration

I think the idea of it is great, but there's a steep learning curve and some of the buttons can be awkward / not intuitive to use.

Likelihood to Recommend

I think it's well-suited to brainstorming and ideating, similar to how you'd use a chalkboard to map out a new process flow. In my experience, we've used it more for brainstorming a particular idea, and I feel like the conversations end up going in circles because it can be hard to follow along with other people's inputs. It also has quite a bit of a learning curve, so almost every session involves stopping to train someone who can't figure it out. It's probably been most successful with groups of about 5-6 when there's one person leading, but anything bigger than that can get overwhelming.
