Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am an interior designer in an architectural firm working across various offices. Miro allows our team to brainstorm, collaborate, and coordinate designs quickly across office locations. I particularly enjoy the sketch feature which allows me to sketch ideas for my team to implement. Using Miro as a tool to collaborate and provide direction to other designers has increased our efficiency and ability to work from remote locations.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Infinite whiteboard space
Ability to draw/sketch directly in Miro
Ability to mention a team member to draw their attention an area
Ability to see changes since the last visit
Being able to work concurrently with a team member and see where they are on the board

Cons

I love the sketch feature but could use some more advanced sketching tools
I like the arrows/lines that can be added to shapes, notes, etc. but sometimes the 'snapping' function doesn't allow for the arrow to point to specific places
As more AI tools develop, I'd love to see tools that automatically sort/size portions of the board.

Return on Investment

Ease of collaboration across office locations
Record of comments made and a visual history of our project work
With the free version we are limited to the amount of boards and end up placing a lot of information on one board. This can be hard to load on mobile devices and tablets.
The ability to use the board from any computer, tablet, or phone allows us to take our work anywhere.

Collaboration

This tool has been crucial in my ability to collaborate with designers in different locations. We don't always have the ability to work through designs in person, and with Miro, we don't need to spend the extra time and money to be in person. This is a major cost savings and has made for a more efficient work flow.

Likelihood to Recommend

I work with designers across office locations, many who are at a junior level. Miro allows me to oversee their work, provide direction, and collaborate as I mentor these designers. I also sort boards by projects and enjoy placing all relevant project info on the board so it can be seen in one place. This can be anything from meeting notes to working design images to presentations. We can quickly add notes and reference changes that need to be made in one place which has improved efficiency.
