Overall Satisfaction with Miro

I use it for many purposes; wire-framing, organizing concepts, client presentations and workshops. But the main power is the ease of sharing and inviting the uninitiated to participate in collaborative sessions. This is often simply posting sticky notes on mood boards and design proposals, but can also be more elaborate with polls and other Miro specific features. There are times where design actually happens in Miro.
  • collaboration
  • Allowing you to drag and drop in elements
  • Being able to organize complex systems
  • More mature drawing and design tools, although it must maintain accessible for newbies
  • Being able to drag and drop videos without having to embed 3rd party players
  • reduced time to get something down on "paper"
  • improved visibility in different teams project statuses
  • quicker ideation
Miro has been crucial in making remote work successful. There are other products out that that tackle off site collaboration, but they are often used by more specific groups of users, and not as accessible to people without certain technical expertise. With Miro even the slowest adopters seem to be able to struggle their way through the UI
Miro is the more general use one. We use FigJam for internal projects where it's just designers on the project. But for internal projects with other roles involved Miro quickly becomes the more accessible option. The simplicity is the main driver why we opt for using Miro for client work sessions when we don't even know if they have used Miro before

Miro is well suited for collaborative sessions both internal and with clients. Whether it's a pre populated board where users can just comment or append the current content, or just simply by starting with a blank canvas. It's less appropriate for persistent sources of truth documents since it's easy to break the rules. there are no predefined areas or things you can't change. For instance, scale is a loose term. one person can make their boards, text and images 10x as big as yours which makes your board virtually hidden. This con of rigidity comes with the pro of flexibility of course.
