Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Storyboarding is a an excellent use case for Miro. It is easy to collaborate on and has many tools to doodle simultaneously to evolve an idea. It has integration into may of the popular productivity tools like Confluence and Teams. We also use it for evolving diagrams and architectures. I also has helped us in impromptu retrospectives.

Pros

  • Slick UI to create neat and compelling diagrams
  • Really like the zoom feature to autofit in widgets and full screen viewing options
  • I like the ease of sharing it via Team/Confluence and then have them update as the diagram evolves
  • It also provides a great variety of templates and starting points

Cons

  • It would be awesome to use Miro with an Apple Vision Pro and move around in a board seamlessly using gestures
  • The infinite scroll can sometimes become unwieldy, so re-centering could be a hotkey option
  • It would be nice to have a LLM based client take in text prompts to suggest or even create custom templates
  • Miro provides a 100% satisfaction for a brainstorming tool due to it's intuitive set of UI actions
  • It's increased productivity during retrospectives where multiple people can easily collaborate remotely, as is the state of things in the current work environment
  • It allows for easy searchability of boards and content that has saved time and effort in organizing information
It has allowed both simultaneous as well as asynchronous collaboration across geographical locations and hugely facilitated remote work. It is responsive and consistent as a tool and have rarely noticed any glitches in the software. It is an attractive tool to brainstorm for new projects and allows for many ways to express ideas and fuels ideation.
Richer UI

Do you think Miro delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

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?

Yes

Would you buy Miro again?

Yes

Miro is well suited for collective brainstorming. It is less suited for known and legacy documentation like class diagrams, flowcharts or decision trees where the sheer number of options can feel overwhelming. Maybe it needs to be it's own mode with minimal options - Miro Lite? However it's only a nitpick and definitely not a reason to avoid using the tool.
