Overall Satisfaction with Miro
Miro is a great collaboration tool. I use it to facilitate brainstorming sessions and to organize the output of these sessions. You can input a great amount of stimulus and create spaces or templates for participants to use to brainstorm. Its easy for new participants to learn how to add sticky notes and to vote on ideas. After the brainstorming I can move the notes around to group similar ideas.
Pros
- Input images and other file types to create a rich & visually pleasing environment to play with.
- Easy & intuitive for newcomers to learn how to add & manipulate items
- Great for collaboration. Multiple users can add ideas, manipulate items, vote etc. simultaneously
Cons
- A brainstorming session on Miro can quickly get messy & cluttered. Some of the solutions they have are a search function and the ability to cut & paste multiple notes into Excel at once. Despite this the grouping & organizing of ideas requires a lot of manual work.
- If you forget to lock items participants WILL ALWAYS end up moving things they shouldn't
- It takes some effort to input images and files. Its easy once you've learned but it does take time for new users.
- It would be amazing if Miro could take a whole Powerpoint presentation and input the individual slides automatically. Apologies if there is a way to do this.
- I work with people who are based all over the world. Miro enables remote collaboration which saves on travel costs.
- A traditional pre-covid brainstorming session would be in a large conference room with large papers all over the walls, stacks of post-it notes, and piles of markers. A Miro brainstorming session requires none of these things.
Miro is great for virtual collaboration. There is no need for travel which saves money and folks who couldn't travel (for whatever reason) can still participate. There is no need for office supplies such as large papers, post-it notes, markers, easels, etc.
