Overall Satisfaction with Miro

I use it to help organize online interactive Scrum retrospectives for the whole team. It's also used in order to maintain roadmaps. We also use it to have a schema of typical user scenarios on a given process in the application; it helps see which "branch" a user can take when navigating through the application. Most of the time, all of these use cases imply cooperative work, and as we are mostly remote working, it's really nice and efficient for us while being simple enough for everyone to get their hand on it and offering enough options to tailor it to our needs.

Pros

  • Collaborative work.
  • Organizing scrum retrospective.
  • Roadmap
  • Todo list.
  • Scrum agile board.

Cons

  • Having a random selection function integrated natively would be great for interactive retrospectives in the scrum.
  • Improve some meetings quality.
I did not participated nor we have an integration of Miro with any other product.
It helped quite a lot, as we are still using it on every remote scrum retrospective; likely, we could have found another product but is quite easy to handle and free, and it perfectly fits with our needs in its current state.

Do you think Miro delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Miro's feature set?

Yes

Did Miro live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Miro go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Miro again?

Yes

Actually, it doesn't stack up against them, as we're using all of them. Jira is much more tailored toward backlog, ticket, and sprint management, and although we tried to use Miro for it, it didn't have features packed that Jira is on that specific point, but what it lacks on the specialty it gets is it on the diversity. As for notion, although you can see some shared features, they don't serve the same purpose; for example, I myself use it mostly for taking not, organizing them, and exporting them in PDF format, something that Miro can maybe do (I didn't look but I don't think it can do this in the way Notion do it) it's just not made for this specific task while Notion is.
It mostly comes up with what I was stating about our use cases. It's really nice when you want to handle a scrum retrospective, or organize roadmaps, use cases schema, and so on. It's even quite nice for a simple scrum / agile board. But when it comes to scrum board, for example, I found myself struggling a little to get everyone in the team to switch on it; either it was too complicated or not customizable enough (when using some submodule that does the scrum board specifically), or it was a bit cumbersome to use when we made our custom board, just because we had to drop the most of the automatic features to do everything by hand (like if we had a real board with real post it and were moving them around). All in all, it's really nice when you don't want to do too complicated stuff, but when it goes to things a bit more complex, it can become a little harder to use.
