Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Helps creating moodboards easily, collaborate remotely on brainstorms, workshops and organization in my team.It helps keep communication clear as boards are shared within the company.

Pros

  • Documenting
  • Collaborating
  • Remote workshops
  • Brainstorming
  • Moodboarding

Cons

  • ipad & mobile usability
  • easier compatibility with Figma
  • downloaded boards for offline
  • Improved communication
  • Improved remote collaborative projects and meetings
  • Improved the quality of meetings and meeting engagement
  • Helped fast tracking tasks like moodboards and collage
Non techy people get very overwhelmed and are reluctant to change so getting them to use Miro was a bit hard. Otherwise it was very easy but requires an account which kept people on the edge.
During Covid lockdown it helped lots on the transition from office to remote work. It helped keeping the team upbeat during meetings as they became way more engaging than before and also were easy to look back to as the documentation was already there.
Remote workshops as designers were super easy to conduct and attend to and engaging as well.

As a designer and as I mentioned before I currently moved to FigJam because of how easy I find it to use the same tool for everything. Personally I keep using Miro because I enjoy the navigation controls and enjoy more the navigation and how post-it notes look and how you can scale them to the size you want as well as the text.
Lucid chart I dont like because of the UI. Miro's is better but I like that you can join a board without an email.
More: as a team leader/manager for non-designers
Miro can be overwhelming for non techy people but for tech savvy people, for example: developers, is very helpful. I love the experience of Miro specially for remote collaboration, team building, planning, etc. It's also good to have a simple way to document and to create moodboards without putting too much thought into.
The templates are very helpful to not be starting from scratch. It'd be cool to have a community and or own templates you can reuse.

Less: as a designer who uses Figma
I love miro but as a designer sometimes is easier to rely on FigmaJam because then I dont have to switch windows all the time. Also, being on an app is easier to work on as sometimes when boards are too full Safari (my prefered browser) is very laggy.
