Overall Satisfaction with Miro

I work on global projects where work is mostly done virtually. The main use case for me to use Miro is when it comes to workshops that we can not do face-to-face and where simultaneous collaboration is required from participants. In these situations, I usually require colleagues to work together: provide input, contribute to the development of a joint concept, etc. This tool increases the efficiency of this greatly.

Pros

  • Project Retrospective meetings.
  • Project Planning Meetings.
  • Design thinking workshops.

Cons

  • I don't like that I must use a password if I share a board with someone outside of my company. I would prefer the password to be optional.
  • I could use more shapes/symbols/ 'SmartArt' in order to create more interesting/fancy-looking setups.
  • I don't' like that post-its can not be more flexibly reshaped.
  • Improved communication/collaboration in workshops.
  • Better documentation.
  • Improved efficiency, resulting in lower costs.
We have a single sign-on with our corporate accounts, and I like that very much, but I did not take part in any integration effort.
I believe Miro boards have become a primary tool in collaborative meetings/workshops. Projects have a number of such occasions, especially when work is done in a virtual set-up. For this reason, Miro, as a tool, is contributing positively to my organization.

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 use features of Webex, which is similar to Miro, but in a multi-participant situation, I always use Miro as it has richer features.
Well suited: - participants experienced with Miro - visualization is key in the process - we need to go through a process with several steps/exercises - inputs are needed from most of the participants - the outcome of the discussion must be documented in detail Not well suited: - participants are not experienced with the tool - the lower number of participants - less need to simultaneously provide input/feedback.
