Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Each department has a different form of usage; for example, from the product, we use Miro for both the discovery and delivery phases in every step to lay out the current interface issues, identify the problems, brainstorm, create an affinity map, draw user journey, consolidate, discuss, and run workshops.. for almost everything. Engineers might use it more to draw UML diagrams and compare options to match requirements. Business units might use Miro to communicate with customers by sharing the vision and discuss remotely.

Pros

  • Give easy-to-use utensils ready on the canvas to brainstorm.
  • Participate in the workshop with the people remotely.
  • Provides diverse tools for workshops, such as timers and voting, to ensure the smooth running of remote seminars and meetings.
  • Listen to the user feedback and update the features to meet user needs.

Cons

  • The new UI features still need improvements in terms of performance.
  • Like many other infinite canvas tools, it needs more set-ups for the organization of contents and boards.
  • Integration with Figma: It is hard to compete with FigJam if the organization has a strong design culture.
  • Improve the communication time between stakeholders.
  • Improve the quality of the archive of resources by visualization rather than linking every text in a doc.
  • Improve productivity, especially for remote teams.
It was essential in our organization, where half of the employees work remotely everywhere in the world, in different time zones. Miro is very helpful for synchronous and asynchronous projects, providing diverse tools to facilitate both cases. Not only could we visualize and see the most recent history of our colleague, but also, as a facilitator, it is easy to draw participants' attention by bringing them to my point of view, and we can also leave a talk track if someone is missing.

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

Miro is the best tool when you want your canvas to collect resources and visualize your ideas without visiting other platforms to find diagram tools or visual gadgets. Especially if the user doesn't know about design tools, Miro could be particularly easy to begin with. If you are more bound to the pixel-perfect design, precise documentation is more necessary than diverging ideas, maybe other documentation tools or design tools could be more suitable as Miro is literally 'canvas'.
