Overall Satisfaction with Miro

I’m a User Experience designer and use Miro to document design thinking sessions, research, journey maps, story maps, and design iterations. The biggest advantage of Miro for me is that I can send a single link to developers, managers, stakeholders, and users who may need to participate in studies or checkin on the progress of a project. Anything from links to contextual inquiry videos, screenshots of related legacy app screens, images of grayscale or hifi mocks pulled in from XD or Figma, or final voting on prioritization maps - these are all ways we can reach agreed upon solutions for our enterprise software.
  • The Azure Card plugin allows us to link storymap items directly to our backlog and create a protobacklog
  • Hosting large groups and documenting their feedback simultaneously
  • Time boxing feedback iterations
  • Hosting a multitude of plugins
  • I want to be able to upload more images / greater sized images at once
  • I want better vector tools
  • More AI integration
  • Simplicity- it’s simplified our communication
  • It’s taken away the stress of manually documenting research with pen and paper in live design thinking sessions
  • Remote - we can host our diverse teams from all over the world in quick productive meetings without paying for travel
  • Miro has helped me design for over 8 enterprise product teams
I didn’t participate in planning to implement this software, but I remember using it for the first time and was extremely impressed. I was an early adopter at our company and so Onwas involved at that level
Miro integrates with XD and Figma very well. Also we use the Azure Cards plugin to link work items produced from design research directly to our backlog
We have teams throughout North America and India. Pulling in team members for feedback sessions, tech review, user reviews and voting on potential new features is easy with Miro.
Miro is the best for collaboration because it’s super fast, can host lots of people, and automatically captures feedback I can share in a single link, or specific links to specific art boards

Did implementation of Miro go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Miro again?

Yes

Miro is infinitely better than Microsoft Whiteboard. It’s not a sub category of Figma, like FigJam, that relies on the success or failure of a design program - so I think Miro will be around longer than Figma which might be purchased and sold many times. Miro is not an Adobe product that requires big monthly subscription payments. Miro is accessible via web or app and that’s a bonus when you’re hosting large groups.
