Overall Satisfaction with Miro
I personally use Miro for any type of idea drafting and designing. It helps visualize ideas, detail them into clear building blocks and refine them until implementable features are defined. Also, I use it for roadmap drafting and tracking.
All of these abilities can be easily shared with the whole team in a scalable, easy-to-use way and with automatic updates. Thereby, this tool is the best collaborative visualization tool I use.

Pros
- Freestyle visualization with lots of easy-to-use elements
- Real-time collaboration with small to large groups of people
- Automatic updates on changes
Cons
- Standardization of content creation
- Real-time integration with planning tools such as Jira for live tracking
- Fast and easy visual alignment of contents
- Elevated common understanding of a feature and its use case
- Accelerated progress tracking substantially due to easily visible charts
- Connected different organizations' teams rapidly
The collaboration features are one of the core functionalities of Miro. I use it for many Scrum events: reviews, retrospectives, plannings, refinements. I also very much appreciate the wealth of available templates and collaboration features such as the estimation poker, the timer, the private mode, the comments among several others. In terms of cross-team collaboration I see Miro as a leader in the tool market.
For ideating on a feature I also looked at Figma. Figma is more UI focused and brings in more restrictions towards collaborative content creation in the tool. This makes it hard to think freely and assess all different user inputs easily. It also lacks the breadth of shapes and content types that Miro provides.
