Overall Satisfaction with Miro

I am using Miro with my internal Team and Clients as a collaborative visual tool – much like a digital whiteboard where we can use sticky notes, paste any graphics, jot down ideas and decide or vote on strategies or topics. Since everyone works from different locations, Miro is the closest we've gotten to conduct interactive and playful, yet efficient brainstorming meetings or sprint retrospectives.

Pros

  • Flexible Canvas: to lay out visuals and text
  • "Multiplayer" Mode: See all participant's cursors live on the canvas
  • Interactive Tools: E.g. select items on the canvas to vote for favorites
  • Clean interface: Large icons and intuitive tools

Cons

  • Branding/Theming: When Miro is used by companies that want to reflect their branding in Miro's interface and canvas content (e.g. Icon-Set, ..), some extended theming options would come in handy
  • Improved connection with productivity tools, e.g. Jira
  • Import from FigJam
  • Improved meeting efficiency
  • Adds fun to collaboration
  • Supports Scrum workflow
I have rarely used Miro integrated with other products. Miro seems to have an app store with many integrations, and installing and using apps seems to be simple and straight forward. For companies that use many other tools (e.g. Jira, Google Suite) these apps and integrations should prove very valuable
My team is based in many different locations, and rarely has the opportunity to come together in person in front of a real whiteboard, so Miro has been the best replacement for the real-life meeting room and whiteboard. Content is available for everyone to revisit later, or for people who missed the meeting.

Do you think Miro delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

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

Miro has become a great and versatile tool for collaboration – i'd recommend it to small to medium-sized teams that need a visual canvas to interactively collect ideas, feedback, or general text/image content.

Although Miro could be used for wireframing, there are other tools (Figma, Framer, ..) that might be more suitable.
