Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Miro across our org to help collaborate on, and present ideas. Most of our teams use Miro to brainstorm and organise collaborative work, and I use it personally to help plan out ideas and concepts. Being free-form is incredibly helpful as much of my work isn't linear in process, it's very complex and involved.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Collaboration
Ideation
Presenting ideas

Cons

Runs slowly on my tablet (but my tablet is a bit slow anyway)
More colours for postit notes, so they can match other items
Would be good if it was easier to switch between boards without going back to the main page.

Return on Investment

Speed
Recording ideas
Allowing all people to have a voice

Collaboration

Creation of new projects is always hard because getting ideas together at that point is hard. This way everyone gets a voice and it's recorded.

Alternatives Considered

Lucidchart

Price wasn't a factor, it was more about adoption and existing skills. We love both tools but already had Miro rolled out in a large swathe of our org so it made sense to continue to expand.

Other Software Used

Consensus

Likelihood to Recommend

Works well for us as we're a global org with teams spread across different countries. Getting ideas together in an asynchronous way is really important as we're not always available at the same time, so we can work effectively on projects.
Works way better than other whiteboarding solutions in Teams or elsewhere when included within their apps because it's built for purpose.
Frames work well, and the ability to record an overview and share with video/webcam is great.
Works well when everyone's in a room too, if everyone has tablets they can all contribute.
Doesn't work as well on slow tablets.
