Overall Satisfaction with Miro

We use Miro for several use cases. The primary use case is for group collaboration. Hoping into Miro with many team members and collaborating is fast and easy, and it just works. A secondary use case, but was my first use case for Miro, is presentations. I feel like Miro is ok at presentations, but I default back to slides often. I also use Miro for technical diagrams and find it strong there.
  • Group Facilitation.
  • Technical Diagrams.
  • Neat things for group collab like timers and voting.
  • Ease of having multiple people in a board.
  • Board Sharing.
  • Overall controls...zooming in and out moving around.
  • On-the-fly whiteboarding. My preference for this is Excalidraw. I find it easier to use in a real-time situation with customers when I need to draw something out quickly.
  • I have stopped using Miro for presentations; I find it clunky. I have used frames in the past, but when you need to go out of order, then things get weird. It's great for storyboarding but not necessarily for a formal presentation.
  • Improved Product Direction through collaboration.
  • Improve Team Collaboration.
  • Improve data sharing.
  • Improved productivity in a work from home world.
I have highlighted this previously, but team collaboration has greatly improved with the use of this tool. I learned of it in 2020 I believe and it has been a god send during covid. A big part of my job is team collaboration, so Miro is a must for being able to do that in the work-from-home world.
I have used Visio and Lucid in the past; they are not great. The biggest competitor, I think, is Excalidraw. It's free and works great for stuff other than the group collaboration piece. I think it might do that, too, but I don't pay for it. It beats Miro on quick and fast whiteboards. There are no stickies, just quick boxes and arrows.

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?

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

I would definitely recommend it to people for what it is great at: group collaboration. My prior rating had it at a seven overall, I believe. That is because it doesn't do everything I need. I no longer use it for presentations, and I find Excalidraw better at whiteboards. But it is still a must-have tool in the toolbelt.
