Overall Satisfaction with Miro

I work in Product, so I typically use Miro with my team and wider stakeholders for synchronous and asynchronous collaborative work. Whiteboarding sessions, prioritisation sessions, problem tree mapping, dropping in screenshots when benchmarking other tools, and running our team retrospectives. I also use it to collect my own thoughts when I'm not ready to commit to a document or spreadsheet, or when I need to collate lots of mixed media during the early stages of a project.

Pros

  • Enabling collaboration
  • Visualisation of mixed media
  • Linking disparate ideas and concepts together
  • Simple post-it sessions online

Cons

  • I really want to be able to remove content from post-its in bulk. That way if we've run a session that worked well, we can clear the content and instantly create a new template for future use.
  • I don't know how we would have done big collaborative projects during COVID. Miro immediately filled that gap for us.
  • I've presented work to clients that cost them thousands and did it all in Miro - it can deliver that level of polish if needed.
  • It makes 'how we think' very visible and transparent, which speeds up the ability for new team members to onboard.
I use the Slack integration - it's simple but works perfectly. I get notifications on relevant comments so I'm never out of the loop.
In my team, Miro IS how we collaborate on the early stage of new projects. Aside from Notion, which feels more formal. When things move fast and we need to communicate what we see in the world or connect ideas together, Miro is the go-to.
They're more rigid. They have their own strengths but the flexibility of Miro and ease of collaboration in real time makes it the right tool for those kinds of jobs.

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?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Miro again?

Yes

It's easy for anyone to get up to speed, which is important when collaborating. If someone struggles, the whole session falls over. The templates are also useful, so I feel like anyone can start to make use of the tool without getting 'blank page' syndrome. The ability to dot vote is also super simple but effective at removing group bias.
