Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Miro is used in MANY ways. I personally use it for everything from process diagramming to brainstorming solutions, conducting team retrospectives, project chartering, workshops, and many more. It solves the problem of being able to whiteboard remotely, while also containing so many more robust features and templates that other similar products don't have.
  • Exceptional templates help me get started quickly with almost any type of whiteboarding, creating consistency where needed and extreme variety when also needed.
  • Having multiple active users on the same board happens so smoothly. It's easy to get people on the board and updating objects simultaneously without weird conflicts is amazing.
  • The amount of objects & tools Miro provides allows us to create very specific and detailed artifacts.
  • Granting access to boards can be a little confusing, sometimes it doesn't seem to work. Maybe it's because multiple ways to share the board create confusion.
  • It has improved team input during agile retrospectives, which has then improved our teams' ability to get better at what they do, increasing quality and efficiency.
  • It improves my own productivity because I use Miro daily to represent my own Personal Kanban board. This tracks my daily work more effectively than any To-do list. I have improved my own efficiency and effectiveness by using Miro daily. And because I could track my work daily and then look back on it using colors for specific tasks, I probably reduced 15 minutes a day of repetitive tasks just by visualizing my work and questioning the patterns.
  • Miro has reduced my project work breakdown structure creation time.
It seemed to integrate with MS Teams flawlessly, but I wish it integrated with systems like Jira.
It allowed teams to come up with many more ideas and to brainstorm effectively just based on how easy it is to run workshops with multiple collaborators across the world with NO performance lagging whatsoever.
I also tried Microsoft Whiteboard. Miro's quality far surpasses ANY other product in its category in terms of robust features, ease of including board collaborators, and the vast collection of available templates.

Do you think Miro delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Miro's feature set?

Yes

Did Miro live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Miro go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Miro again?

Yes

Miro is particularly good at scenarios where multiple board collaborators are needed at a time and where more complex whiteboarding is needed. I can't think of any situations where it is less appropriate unless one considers situations where a simple whiteboard is integrated directly with another application, such as Jira.
