Overall Satisfaction with Miro

We use Miro daily to collaborate across cross-functional teams located in many different countries and regions. We use Miro boards throughout our project lifecycle to collate and analyse research, plan approaches, conduct workshops, and design in low fidelity. We also use it as part of our team to communicate tasks and fun activities as part of our culture.
  • Collaboration across teams who are not co-located
  • Reduces barriers to participation and input
  • Visual communicate ideas
  • Helps with analysis of data and insights
  • Sharing boards can be quite difficult at times. For example, there is no way for a board owner to see the password they have set in order to share it.
  • Accessibility is a concern I have. I'd hate to exclude anyone because we were using a certain tool.
  • The timer music needs a lot of improvement.
  • I like the clustering feature but i'm aware it has a long way to go to be completly useful.
  • Improved productivity and time to solve problems
  • Increased communication
  • Increased culture of team
I'd say that is the main benefit, that Miro allows teams located in different countries and regions to work together in a central place in their own time zone. The ability to either conduct a workshop or work on something at the same time (or different times of the day) is a great benefit.
Mural and FigJam always seemed a bit basic compared to Miro.

Mural also didn't have all of the features and appeared visually to be less developed compared to Miro.

FigJam is appealing as we use Figma. The benefit of keeping designs in sync and not switching applications was appealing but many other features were not there.

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 is you are not co-located and you'd like a central place to work together and collaborate.

Miro is not so great in a hybrid workshop setting as it doesn't use the benefit of being in a room together. It forces people to use their laptops to view the virtual board when people can be easily distracted by other things such as email etc..
