Overall Satisfaction with Miro

As our workforce is split between remote and in-person employees, Miro has enabled us to work together to collaborate and solve problems visually. Within our organization, we primarily use Miro for Sprint and/or project retrospectives within and across teams, High and low-level roadmap planning, Ideation, and brainstorming sessions within and across teams Driving alignment.

Pros

  • Extremely responsive for real time collaboration.
  • Effective templates and examples.
  • Unlimited workspace.

Cons

  • Video uploading.
  • Confusing board organization.
  • Performance degrades with lots of users.
  • Improved meeting engagement.
  • Improved collaboration across remote and in person employees.
  • Expedites ideation and brainstorming phase of projects.
I did not participate in the implementation of Miro.
Miro has greatly assisted our ability to collaborate. We have employees across multiple countries in various states working from home or working in office spaces, so having a visual whiteboard that can be shared across teams and countries has proven to be a very effective collaboration tool for us. Using Miro for workshops encourages individual participation, which in turn has increased our engagement for us.

Do you think Miro delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Yes

Yes

Did implementation of Miro go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Miro again?

Yes

I find Miro is easy to use for people in all different orgs across our company (PM, Engineering, UX, Marketing etc.) while Figma is great for the user experience org to collaborate on mocks/designs. Figma can be extremely confusing for those not in UX.
Miro is well suited for small-mid-sized group collaboration with a specific purpose in mind (i.e., retrospectives, brainstorming or workshop sessions, discussing user flows, exercises that involve voting, etc.). It is less effective for large groups of people at once with a less structured activity as it becomes less performant and navigation gets confusing. It is also not the best for formal presentations.
