Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Brainstorming, user research documentation and synthesis, workshop facilitation, PI Planning events to name a few. Really any kind of remote collaboration as we are a globally distributed company.
  • Equalizing Contributors - everyone can provide input, not just the loudest voice in the meeting
  • Creative Organization - Ability to leverage templates or create your own entirely organic method of organizing work
  • Asynchronous Collaboration - Creates a team work space that is accessible and up-to-date 24/7, keeping globally distributed teams moving
  • Integrations - Tying other apps and services into Miro boards streamlines communication and reduces context-switching
  • Board Speed - this is a pain point for our company that has very large PI planning events with over a hundred people in a single board at one time. Lag reduces Miro's usefulness.
  • 3-Dimensionality - Just a fun thought towards the future. Miro is painfully 2-dimensional at the moment. Interested where this might go in the future.
  • AI-enabled Features - Currently offered, but limited in functionality right now. Eager to see this improved and more use cases defined.
  • Positive - Improved cross-functional collaboration leads to better product development
  • Negative - Proliferation of content can become unmanageable as a team. In specific scenarios, our team has been known to say "Miro boards are where great ideas go to die."
Depends on the product. Some integrations are really basic, while others are incredibly powerful. Would be highly dependent on the role and use case. Hard to generalize here, but overall I'd consider this a strength.
We are a globally distributed organization. We have many agile product teams that are globally distributed (not an ideal practice) and Miro is absolutely essential to idea generation and gathering input from cross-functional disciplines. Miro is used heavily in the early stages of project planning to gather requirements and align stakeholders. Boards can be embedded in our work management tool to streamline work processes throughout the project as well.
More intuitive for new users, more robust capabilities.

Do you think Miro delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Miro's feature set?

Yes

Did Miro live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Miro go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Miro again?

Yes

Miro is great if you need a digital whiteboard with enhanced features (beyond free versions of digital whiteboards) to improve team collaboration. I would not recommend relying on Miro as your primary work management tool if you manage more than one or two projects.
