Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Across my career I have utilized Miro for a wide array of use cases. PI Planning, Design walkthroughs, Team building, Icebreakers, understanding workflows and user experiences, etc. I definitely enjoy working visually and manipulating screens, stickies, and physically even though everyone I work with is remote. But the most critical use case for my work would be design approvals, round tables around UX funnels. Miro definitely makes that work much easier.

Implementation Rating

I do have issues with my private account conflicting occassionally with my corporate account for some reason. Sometimes I find myself on other boards or other areas, so I guess I use it too often in too many overlapping use cases? But besides that, the implementation was great and successful.

Collaboration

It speeds up our different teams and makes us unified on objectives and end goals based on the project's targets and aspirations. Miro makes it possible for everyone to get their voice heard, and makes it possible to receive that feedback quickly and succinctly. Doing so physically, on site, and in a single location is really expensive and frictive.

Alternatives Considered

Google Jamboard, Whiteboard.chat, Mural, Zoom Rooms, Klaxon and Sketchboard

Miro is a more well known solution and capability that others have used in previous jobs and so requires less training. It also is more intuitive to pick up and learn on the fly. We also like the levels of templating that people have built for miro and the experiences for collaboration being fantastic.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's really great for working with disparate users separated by distance in order to solve for a single call to action. Like, redesigning a homepage, manufacturing a single funnel experience, etc. Bringing people together in order to provide a voice to disparate users that inform the end product solution. I love how it pulls people together even better than a single location whiteboard ever could.
