Overall Satisfaction with Miro

We do a lot of collaborative creative work - web page wireframes, design thinking activities, usability research note-taking, and design sprint planning. We also have considered it for project management using Kanban but decided to use other tools for that.
  • Generating sticky notes - most people can figure that out w/ no/little orientation
  • process diagraming - this has gotten much better in the last year
  • wireframing websites and user interfaces
  • icons - they used to stink, but now they are WAY better - a small but important thing
  • Some objects that support text don't support formatting (i.e. bullets) and that can be annoying, especially when you don't test it first and then all of the sudden you need them. I wouldn't expect support for stickies, but pretty much all other objects.
  • the product is doing a really good job of releasing new features, i'm not really sure I have more suggestions
  • We've been able to reduce in-person meetings by utlizing Miro for our design sprints.
  • We've also been able to streamline and reduce costs associated with usability testing note-taking, theming and analysis.
Miro is our IT-approved collaborative whiteboard application which is great because everyone in the company can use it. In the past, we had other tools that were more patchworky, but because this is an enterprise-wide application, everyone can use it. That's a game changer.
Miro was selected for us by our organization, so I didn't really have a choice. I would say Miro is like all the best components (or nearly the best) of the other applications all wrapped up in one.

Do you think Miro delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Miro again?

Yes

Miro is a great tool for group collaboration and design thinking activities. It's also a wonderful tool for wireframing and prototyping.

It's not quite yet fully supportive of interactive prototypes though, that's the direction I'd like to see it go. Something akin to Adobe XD's capabilities in that space.
