Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Collaborative creation of systems diagramming, project planning, and 'whiteboards' for sprint planning and retrospective reviews. It is incredibly helpful to be able to review and work in real-time with an easy-to-use UI.
  • Ease of diagramming.
  • Allowing for team ideation and voting.
  • Importing/pasting of outside content.
  • Rotate objects.
  • Snap objects to grid - both shapes as well as better auto-organization.
  • Offline mode.
  • Improved project planning.
  • Improved project ideation/brainstorming sessions.
I have not integrated Miro with other products.
Yes, even when in the office, the team prefers Miro's capabilities over a whiteboard.

Miro offers a more user-friendly Ux/Ui, and it is far easier to work on content collaboratively at the same time. Visio does have the upper hand in snapping objects and connections to some kind of grid which improves organization. Miro also does allow for exporting of frames which can be done at good quality for presentations when necessary compared to screenshotting usually used when exporting from Visio. Visio does allow for rotation of objects and offline use, which are two features that have been somewhat of a pain point using Miro in some situations.
I have appreciated it for general diagramming for systems engineering, as well as use as a general white board where I can drop content from other sources while making connections and dropping comments. It has also been useful as a dynamic and collaborative calendar for project planning. I have begun using it as a tool for fault tree analysis, but it could still use some additional organizational guard rails to make it easier to not end up with a messy diagram.
