Overall Satisfaction with Miro

We use Miro within the industrial design and human factors teams. It helps us layout information in a visual way to see connections between topics, work collaboratively, and have a large open space. We use Miro for designs, research output, mental models, and more. It is a helpful tool for collaboration and visualization.

Pros

  • Allows for collaborative work with tasks like sticky notes
  • Can align objects and make connections easily
  • provides a large, blank canvas

Cons

  • sometimes it is very slow to load or loads in low resolution
  • navigating miro without a mouse (e.g., using a touchpad) is very difficult
  • Would like to see more connections with things like SharePoint
  • Improved productivity
  • improved collaboration
  • Less physical artifacts.
Somewhat complex at first and hard to use without a mouse, but not too bad with some help or tips up front.
Cannot integrate with things like SharePoint or other tools
Works great when we have hybrid workers and some people are in office, others are working from home. Helps connect a team to a common visual layout for collaborative work.
Much better for visual/design work.

Did Miro live up to sales and marketing promises?

Did implementation of Miro go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Miro again?

Yes

Well suited for: visual design work, design thinking exercises, planning and strategy, sticky note analyses, group analyses of research data, workshops. Its great as a large virtual whiteboard.

Not suited for: maintaining specs/documents that are more formal and less visual, not suited for offline use, not as good for table of contents type navigation.

Using Miro

  • Idea Generation
  • Collaboration
  • Information Sharing
  • Sharing design specifications
  • qualitative analysis
It's a very embedded tool in our org. Designers rely heaving on it, so researchers have adapted to use it and speak the 'language' of designers.
