Overall Satisfaction with Miro
Miro has been wonderful for collaborative workshops and brainstorming since we all started working from home at the beginning of the pandemic. Even now we are often back in the office it has still proved itself invaluable, because there are often people missing, plus it allows for asynchronous engagement, and can be used just not to capture things, but also to refine them. I've even seen teams use it for semi-structured project management.
Pros
- Allows us to run workshops with remote people
- Allows us to easily refer back to the output of workshops, and refine or return to them
- Works well across all the OS/browser combinations we need to support
Cons
- In browser experience on large screen on Mac can be slow (app is OK)
- Finding/adding shared boards in Mac app is hard
- Made for a happy team, corporate purchased MURAL but team much prefers Miro
- Allowed us to keep collaborating and moving forward during COVID
Miro allowed us to keep working from home. Now our staff wants flexibility and Miro allows us to continue doing that. We're also able to do more collaborative things in an asynchronous, or interrupted way because the artefacts of the human interactions are easier to keep and evolve. We have also started adding staff who live a long way from the office and will attend in person a lot less regularly.
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
Team member demand was for Miro, I haven't used MURAL enough to say why it does not satisfy our team members as much as Miro. I understand from the decision makers who bought MURAL for the whole company that the integration story into the corporate IT landscape was easier and that weighed heavily on their decision but I cannot validate that from where I sit.
