Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Our organization uses Miro to collaborate on larger projects; to break activities down into manageable chunks and ensure there is a clear understanding of the steps required. From an admin perspective, it also gives Management the ability to check in on progress, and review where we stand on a project without reaching out to check in.

Having a Miro board allow different team members to observe where we are in a task, and collaborate in real-time (if necessary) on moving a project through the different steps towards completion.

Pros

  • Highly visual
  • Good multi-user support
  • Device agnostic

Cons

  • Integration with MS Office
  • Integration with MS Teams
  • Site navigation
  • Reduced Management check-in on project status
  • Visualization of steps required to complete a project reduce perceived complexity
  • Increased awareness of team member progress on tasks
Not involved with integration, so I planned to skip this question. However, I can't do so unless I have given you fifty words, so here I am writing. Am I close to fifty? It would appear not. But I only need a few more words now. Right about now. Phew.
Maybe?

People were collaborating pre-Miro, and the concept of visualizing a workflow is not unique or specific to Miro. The software is great at facilitating this very specific concept, but any whiteboard software would likely provide the same benefit.

It's important to keep in mind that Miro was brought to our company to implement a work visualization methodology, not a Miro methodology.

Do you think Miro delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Miro's feature set?

No

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?

No

Miro has use cases that benefit teams of people trying to collaborate. It helps get many different people looking at the same thing, and can provide a current "state" of a project to any party with access to the Miro board.

The largest frustration is the fact it is independent software; navigating the software "feels" different than MS Office, and there is minimal interoperability between the software suites.

An ideal state would be a Microsoft-version of Miro to integrate the concepts of Miro into a more wholistic software suite.
