Overall Satisfaction with Miro

We use Miro as a virtual whiteboarding tool, primarily for collaborative work as we gather and form new ideas, or collect broad input from a group or groups of people within a team. Miro provides an open-ended format synchronized between users on the cloud-- something we can't do 100% with other formats.

Pros

  • Open-ended format
  • Real-time collaboration
  • Intuitive user tools

Cons

  • Poor support of multimedia (videos, gifs, animated media formats)
  • Limited text formatting
  • Would be nice to be able to automatically constrain lines as horizontal, vertical, or to lock in shape
  • Miro helps me organize my thoughts
  • Miro saves my team time by allowing us to share ideas in a common, interactive workspace
  • Miro is an enabler for corporate collaborative meeting formats
Particularly in the context of remote work, Miro has opened a door we never had access to. In my experience, if management and teams can learn how to use it, Miro can come very close to or even surpass the utility of in-person, interactive whiteboard sessions; Miro has all of the benefits of connectivity and even more features than a whiteboard.
Miro offers more features and a better overall experience than Bluescape does. While Microsoft 365 allows for real-time interaction, only Miro provides the open-ended whiteboard format.

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 for brainstorming, capturing wide ranges of feedback and condensing them down, collaborative meetings; basically any type of open ended group or individual activity.

I don't recommend Miro as an alternative to formal presentation formats, i.e., PowerPoint, as open, whiteboard-like formats are unnecessary when dealing with a predefined, rigid set of information, plus PowerPoint can support animations and videos better.
