Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Our company is a great practitioner of scrum, most of the scrum ceremonies are carried over Miro only. We use Miro fortnightly for our scrum retrospective and planning as well. Future business use case or any business use case discussion is also carried over Miro only. Miro really has some good retro templates, which help put points beautifully and you can have a discussion around it as well.
  • Good retrospective template.
  • Live interaction with team members.
  • Use case designing with help of different shapes and drawing options.
  • You can add text, shape, video, links and other tools, which helps you discuss anything during a meeting.
  • Awesome features but usability is little tough.
  • Not very handy for newcomer, you have to search for controls.
  • Sometimes touchpad movement is not very fluid, so you will have to use mouse, sometimes mouse has issues then you have to use touchpad.
  • In remote time Miro really helps increase productivity.
  • Real time update decrease time wastage.
  • You can have a big flow diagram which is easy to view, can help plan your future business use case as well, which definitely helps.
I've been using Miro for the last 2 years as a user but I have not used it as an implementer. So it will not be good to give any kind of feedback or suggestion regarding implementation of Miro. I think Miro is a SaaS-based solution so its implementation should be easy only.
Miro is one of the best tools that I have used in the last few years. It's one of the most needed tools in the time of remote working. Its use cases are easy. It is one of the best tools for retrospective. Business use case, addition of text, image, video, shapes and links give users all the necessary tools to create a very interactive business use case.
Miro’s online whiteboard has really helped us increase productivity especially in this remote working culture. Whether it is having a retrospective where all the users can provide their input in real time. If there is a brainstorming session, Miro is really a good tool to use. So if there is any session that involves real time input and discussion, Miro is 1-stop shop.

2 years back, before corona times, Confluence was 1-stop shop for retrospective. Everything was done on whiteboards as the whole team used to be there in the same room. So when it was being done on Zoom or Teams, it was really not adding up, people use to put their views in chat. So Miro is really far better than any other tool in this area.
I really liked Miro for Retrospective, when I was a new user, I had to create different shapes to accommodate different thoughts of team members which was very tedious but then I found out about retro template, which really made the retrospective fun and more engaging and the best part is that it is real time as well. When you are drawing some big use cases, then there should be some keyboard shortcuts, which are missing or I am not sure of yet. This can be improved.
