Overall Satisfaction with Miro
We use Miro for collaboration between product management, development, research, and design teams. Here are a few ways we use it:
- wireframing
- design workshops
- note taking
- presentations
- planning and strategy
- Allowing multiple users to collaborate on features and designs
- Workshops
- Taking notes
- I wish the user could control the shortcut keys to align with other similar shortcut keys in frequently used software, particularly design tools. It's frustrating to switch your brain when jumping between tools
- the selection model is really annoying. For example, when you drag/move an object, it unselects it immediately. So you have to click it again to select.
- copy/paste can be very slow
- pasting a lot of screen grabs can really bog down the UI
- arrow connections between objects are great when you want them. Often you don't but end up connecting objects accidentally because the handles are so sensitive
- would love to have more control over text within shapes, as you do when just using text tool. It's weird that options are different.
- Miro allows our project teams to have a shared source of truth and place where they can contribute, ask questions, and share ideas
- Productivity and communication are greatly improved by having this tool
- Miro's templates provide a great starting point for a lot of the types of collaboration we do, so we don't have to reinvent the wheel.
It's essential for collaboration across distributed teams, but also allows us to keep record of the work/project
Do you think Miro delivers good value for the price?
Not sure
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
It has very similar features to the others mentioned; a lot of the basic functionality of using objects, text, and sticky notes. It seems to have the same learning curve as a result. However, we have now switched over to Figma for design and it would be nice to have more seamless integration with the white boarding tool.
