Overall Satisfaction with Miro

We use Miro in different cases for high-level planning, alignment between multiple UX teams, retros, and health checks.

Pros

  • Quick setup. It's very easy to build a template that anybody will understand and will be able to use it.
  • Small build-in features like timer, voting, etc.

Cons

  • It will be nice to have some features for power users. As a visual designer, I would like to have more control over typography, grouping, and alignment of elements.
  • Once I was trying to build a row of cards with icons and names. I didn't find any easy way how to make it nice and scalable (that the card will adapt to the name and push other cards).
  • We often have a struggle in retros, when a person with admin rights is absent. You can access the board, but you can't run a timer and other features. Very annoying every time.
  • Miro was a big help in team alignment when the lockdown started, and we were looking for tools to help us. At this moment, it is just a tool that we use in daily work.
I never touched the integration of Miro.
Miro was a big help in our team's rapid shift from an office to a fully remote setup. We continue to use it for alignment between sub-teams and product teams.

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

I recommend Miro when something quick, simple, nice, and accessible is needed. But once you need some extras (as I mentioned before, I'm a visual designer, and I want to be in control of typography and alignment), then I would switch to Figma or another tool and continue there.
