Overall Satisfaction with Miro

It is really ideal for ideation. We also use it for big meetings when we need everybody's ideas about a specific subject. We are also hybrid so being able to rely on something digital is particularly convenient. We use it for brainstorming and I use it personally to define technical flows as it allows me to make changes to it all the times, review their comments and adjust.

Pros

  • Brainstorming with teams
  • Make anything more visual easily
  • Make decision: vote features

Cons

  • the base grid is too big at the beginning so I always notice moving forward that all the items I have included are always huge
  • I would love to have more templates
  • the AI feature is cool but I would like to be able to ask the AI which tool is best for what i want to do
  • We have more ideas from everyone
  • It makes brainstorming sessions more enjoyable and fun
  • It enables us to prototype much more rapidly and make less changes later in the project
I did not participate but when I joined it went well and it was smooth.
We only integrated with Slack and I think it is very convenient. I receive notifications of comments and changes on boards I edit directly from Slack, which is particularly convenient. So far we only integrate the Miro links in our Confluence documents but I would love to be able to enable my engineers to see the Miro board directly from the Confluence document. (they would have to open it in Miro to make comments or changes). If that already exists, I'm not aware of it.
It is particularly useful in our remote/hybrid environments. We have a lot of in-person employees and for that we use regular whiteboards, but it is not very convenient for our remote employees as they have to see pictures of the whiteboard and can't interact with it. In the future, it would be great for us to have a physical whiteboard that can run Miro, enabling us to make changes in person (and these changes would also be visible to our remote employees). Miro has helped us however, we tend to do our first sketches on a regular board and after replicate them in Miro so that everyone can see.
During my degree I have used Mural and I very much prefer using Miro, I don't like the UI and how things look on Mural. I had to use this tool because our teacher designed the class around the use of Mural.

Recently I have also used more and more Apple Freeform and it's not as good as Miro but it is free, integrates very well with the Apple ecosystem (the Pencil for instance) and I used Freeform instead of Miro because I know that it would already be installed on my mom's computer so if i shared it to her she would be able to read it.

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 think Miro is well suited for ideation phases of a project, at that time you make a lot of changes to the scope of your project, how you want to do it so Miro gives a lot of tools to prototype rapidly and discuss. It is not as useful in the later stages of a project, when you know what you will want to build exactly, at that stage, we use tools like Confluence to communicate with our engineers
