Overall Satisfaction with Miro

I discovered Miro at my last job from a video discussing helpful tools in Event Planning. We utilized it to make flow charts and task lists. When I moved to a different company, I suggested Miro as a way to do a convention floor plan map that was viewable to hundreds of people but only select individuals could edit it. We uploaded the floor plan and then used sticky notes for the name of each vendor. It was easy to edit and move them around, even when a couple of hundred people were viewing the map at that moment.

Pros

  • User friendly tools
  • Real-time updates
  • Pre-made templates

Cons

  • Copy/paste of sticky notes is not precise. Would prefer to be able to paste exactly where my mouse pointer is.
  • Improved productivity
  • Increased effectiveness of remote work
  • Improved virtual communication
Miro is very user-friendly but there are also plenty of tips and tutorials available on the internet and through Miro directly. Even my team members who are not very confident about learning new software were able to pick it up in a relatively short period.
Those with a basic knowledge of tool icons will understand the functions of each tool almost immediately. For newer users, once you play around in Miro a little bit, the tools are easy to learn and understand. It was quick and easy to figure out how to create and share boards.
At my previous job, we had employees in a different state/time zone who were able to check the project boards to see what was accomplished the day before after their work hours had ended. It eliminated any time delay of the west coast people having to explain where we left off. In my current job, it allows people from all over the country to view floor plans and seating charts that are updated live. Miro is also just one of the many tools that allowed our company to go to completely remote working and we cut overhead costs by eliminating a physical office.

Yes

Did implementation of Miro go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Miro again?

Yes

Miro had the best features of both Projects and Trello combined into one. We eliminated use of the others and switched to Miro.
Miro gives plenty of template options to start off with but is also flexible enough to allow you to use your creativity. It has been helpful in event planning, where no two events are the same and we often have to tweak something from a previous event to make it work for the current one. Miro is very adaptable for things like that.
