Overall Satisfaction with Miro

I use Miro for a variety of reasons:

1. Taking notes of different meetings and making screenshots that I can keep for later to analyse
2. Workshop facilitation with different teammates, clients and/or stakeholders
3. Enterprise Design mapping
4. Rapid Prototyping or sketching of new ideas, boards and other visual elements

The real business problem that are made easier to solve is that it's fast, accessible and scalable to involve other people or just to present something. It kinda replaced PowerPoint in my case because of that.
  • Image resizing
  • Presentation mode
  • Prototyping
  • Enterprise Design mapping
  • Can't mirror images, icons or emojis
  • AI features are not that impressive or useful
  • Some tools like tables need a serious update
  • Improved productivity
  • Variety of data you can present and link with each other
  • Improved engagement of the audience when presenting
  • Reduced cognitive overload
Be careful who becomes the admin of your team, since you can have many access problems related to that fact with all of your boards
Haven't really attempted much integrations other than Google Calendar, Google Meet or other platforms but the best I've seen is in Butter (a platform for workshop facilitators)
It's huge because the learning curve is small, yet the possibilities of collaboration are endless with all the different templates and teammates backgrounds. It is much more flexible than some other diagramming platforms as well, which are used by more technical audiences like software architects (for example)
The amount of tools, the accessibility and the overall experience of Miro makes it a go-to compared to the others, especially given the ease of playing around all the different frames, images, etc.

I've tried Klaxoon once and I really didn't like my experience. As for Mural, I think it just got stuck in time in terms of new feature development.

Do you think Miro delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Yes

Yes

Did implementation of Miro go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Miro again?

Yes

Making a pitch where you want people to participate and where you can add information without leaving presentation mode, mapping an enterprise in its identity, architecture and experience facets. Taking rapid notes while not having to play too much with the resizing of the images that you put into there (compared to Google Doc, for example)

A scenario where it's less appropriate for me would be when you need to go deeper into numbers because the tables are extremely rudimentary.
