Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Miro is a great tool to collaboratively work and visualize complex topics. It works as a great tool for our agile product development teams as well as a visualization and organization tool when presenting information to the management level.
Additionally, we also love to use Miro to further educate our sales force to provide guidance and easily understandable material throughout hybrid meetings with global teams. The almost endless space one Miro board provides allows us to have the progress course of several meetings available in one view.

Pros

  • Allows a structured way to organize the work of a hybrid team
  • Following the "presenter" with one button ensures that no one gets lost
  • Supporting access by a large group is a big bonus
  • Each user is free to roam around the working area, it is a great tool for interaction and collaborative work

Cons

  • Locking and unlocking elements can be challenging
  • Log-in and loading seems to take quite long at times
  • Sometimes interactivity is not as easy as one could wish
  • Better organization of agile work teams
  • Better visualization of results to supervisors and managment teams
  • Unique tool to train sales teams where english is a 2nd or 3rd language to overcome language barrierers by flexible presentations
  • Interactive collaborative work with a larger number of users
We use Miro as a stand-alone tool and do not export into Jira or Confluence, except eventually for some screenshots
It tremendously eased up visualization and collaborative working for remote workers that work in different locations or from home. Allowing all to participate in activities like post-it brainstormings in Pre-Covid meetings provided almost the same look and feel as pre-covid meetings.
Having in-person meetings from time to time is still nicer than sitting in front of your own PC though.

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

We use yEd for local visualizations as it is a free to use and similarly structurable visualization tool. Miro is a great addtion to our Atlassian JIRA and Confluence. It allows us to structure our meeting and later on document the results in Confluence or deduct the next tasks in Jira.

Works great for agile team meetings
Works great for presentations or results to either managers or larger groups
Works great for collaborative work of team members that are working from home, wherever home is right now.
May take some time to get used to, when you loved person to person interaction in real-live meetings

Using Miro

  • Agile development
  • Internal Training
  • Internal Marketing campaigns
  • A global sales meeting run completely on Miro
It works great for us
