Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use it for process mapping and collaborating with remote team workers.

I find it useful for brainstorming and workshopping ideas. I can easily move ideas or add visuals to ideas to stitch together a concept.

Probably don't use the integrations enough, which appear powerful but need to spend some time on this.

Pros and Cons

Pros

process mapping
brainstorming
story board

Cons

exporting to pdf can be glitchy
gifs can be slow to upload
linking to google suite

Return on Investment

I understand it is very pricey and may be removed from our organisation
Its very positive for remote workers, a great place to collaborate
Have found it useful for online training sessions as it is more engaging and diverse than a slide pack

Collaboration

I think so, this is my preferred way to collaborate on ideas and we have a remote team.

Alternatives Considered

Atlassian Confluence and Nintex Process Platform

Confluence is ok, but I find it a bit dry. It is more structured than Miro and that can be helpful in some situations.

Nintex am not a fan of at all.

Likelihood to Recommend

Its not appropriate for detailed user stories to be tracked, I find JIRA much more useful for this.

It is however better at the concept stage, where a process is to be mapped or a concept is to be sized (by a group).

Its great for pulling together images to form an idea, like a virtual smart whiteboard.
