Overall Satisfaction with Miro

I started using the platform with the team during Covid for remote workshops and collaboration. But even now that we have gone back to more physical meetings again, we keep using it as a good way to run workshops (in a hybrid setting) and create interactivity during the session. Advantage of the tool is that participants don't need to register to join and everyone is actively sharing, not only the people that would typically take the floor in physical meetings.

Pros

  • Ease of use for first time users
  • Sharing a public link to participate without registering
  • Large set of templates (prefilled or not) with content

Cons

  • Drawing tools are sometimes basic
  • Need for larger image library to insert standard icons, ...
  • Improved interactivity in work sessions, actively involving all participants
  • Better time management through online collaboration instead of long verbal discussions
Started using the tool out of the box as it's an online platform, no real issues
Miro is used beyond the typical use for remote workers. Because of the advantages to structure the workshop and low barrier to participate as e.g. post-it's can be added anonymously we have kept using the platform even in our current setup where most people meet again physically. For me it replaced the physical whiteboard

Did Miro live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Miro go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Miro again?

Yes

Similar feature set, but I found Miro to have a better price/quality ratio and the ease of setting up the teams. MURAL sometimes seemed a bit better on the graphical side of the tool, but not enough to switch to this platform.
Well suited for online collaboration in an interactive workshop, with a lot of different templates provided from energizers to structuring the full session.
Less suited as a full fledged solution for other needs like wire framing or mind mapping
