Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Frequently used as an online whiteboard for virtual collaboration. Capturing and visualizing ideas and concepts, getting group input on ideas, and voting/ranking ideas to prioritize and, in my situation, aggregating project problems and objectives and generating metrics to measure success. We also use it to capture digital experiences, summarizing user journeys and perspectives. Or basically, any open-ended discussion leading from ideation to narrowing of concepts.
  • Collaborative workspace for multiple virtual participants to post ideas, see others' ideas, group ideas, and prioritize by voting.
  • build relationship models showing how concepts link to each other.
  • I guess it's good for taking things to presentation mode, but I don't use that part of the product.
  • I find the fonts difficult to manage (esp between post its vs free form text) which is important in readability on screens of different sizes without significant panning and zooming.
  • Exporting, especially simple text and grids, to integrate with other products (often Microsoft). I'm not a fan of the Silicon Valley model of making everyone do everything in your product by locking them in.
  • Performance can be spotty: sometimes, larger boards take a long time to render and respond.
  • Mostly just good for team building by enabling better collaboration with all the benefits well documented on how teams come up with better solutions than individuals on their own.
  • Also, it is much easier to have a digital record of the above instead of rolls of flip chart pages that get put in a corner and are inaccessible or having someone have to map what was in the flip charts/white boards by repeating data/text entry, etc.
Hard to export into flexible, editable formats (not pdf), especially smaller sections of content.
See prior comments. very useful for that purpose. A game changer.
Don't really know Lucid well enough to compare. Powerpoint is poor at collaboration.

Did implementation of Miro go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Miro again?

Yes

Virtual collaboration, anywhere I'd use a whiteboard or a flip chart/post-it an exercise in the old days of in-person interaction. I especially like it for getting input from multiple people and then merging concepts and grouping and prioritizing. Also good for sharing the end product of work above with outside audiences.
