Overall Satisfaction with Miro

We rely on Miro in most of our activities to facilitate a healthy and collaborative way of working. We see the value of Miro providing us a free-style workspace that encourages unfettered flow of creativity during brainstorming sessions with stakeholders of various backgrounds. Miro is also extremely helpful to engineering teams in getting structured ideas across team discussions by improving technical discourse with the use of adaptable visual aids. In both cases, Miro proves its worth by emphasizing how it can empower every collaborator, no matter the role nor title, promising a meaningful forum at every turn. Miro brings people together.

Pros

  • Free-style diagramming using sticky notes and arrows
  • Information organization using project planning templates
  • Technical architecture designing using diagramming shapes and icons
  • Simultaneous users working at the same board
  • Mini tools like the timer, reactions, etc. used in time-boxing facilitation segments

Cons

  • Planning poker is flaky
  • The board tends to get sluggish with more stuff in it, even when I'm not viewing all the parts of the board
  • I wish there was a way to set text size of shapes and sticky notes to Auto at any time (if there is, I don't know yet)
  • Improved productivity
  • Improved communication
  • Cost savings from what would have been spent on other tools
Miro has cultivated a culture of collaboration in our team by introducing a rudimentary, yet effective way to get together and get things done efficiently. It is easy to gather people to look at the same board and allow them to express their diverse views that contributes in a well-rounded decision or call to action.
draw.io is just as free-style, but not as enriched as Miro.
Visual Paradigm is too rigid, too many rules to learn.
Microsoft Powerpoint and Microsoft Visio have a low barrier of entry with O365, but collaborating is a pain because of flakiness.

Miro is well suited in most scenarios, whether it's story-telling or discussions in-detail, or even just brainstorming. At times, we even use it as a means to check-in with anyone in the team especially when we're all working remotely.
