Overall Satisfaction with Miro

I use Miro to facilitate workshops and host collaborative project spaces with cross functional teams.
  • Project knowledge base - creates single source of truth
  • Creates a space to synthesize diverse perspectives and pieces of information
  • Creates working space for large team workshops to collaborate
  • Large boards can become slow to load, slow to navigate
  • handling access - passwords seem to sometimes get out of sync for different users
  • Quality of thinking improved - less obvious ideas, going beyond the known
  • Improved productivity - brings people together through collaborative workshops
During Covid, this was obviously essential and replaced some physical types of spaces and workshops in my role. After Covid, the reality is there is still a mix of hybrid work that will always remain, and so this functionality is still highly desired to keep distributed team members across locations or to enable in and out of office/WFH days seamless.
Mural - seemed like it was pretty similar, but MIRO was liked better because of the community and availability to get many different templates of common innovation tools.
Figma - some of the interface navigation was less intuitive, deeper tool for design heavy users, but less friendly to cross-functionals

Yes

Did Miro live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Miro again?

Yes

Miro is my preferred solution to create a team working space, that is not physical, and allows for people across the whole team to add materials and synthesize different points of view.
It is less useful for actually exploring design solutions, typically work in Adobe tools outside of Miro for quick sprints and bring concepts back into the board for sharing.
