Overall Satisfaction with Miro
I use Miro to organize my own product and design strategy, do early low fidelity design work, and facilitate collaboration with stakeholders remotely. In addition I have used it as a repository of data and insights, and our team uses it for retrospectives.
Pros
- User Flows
- Digital Whiteboarding
- Lofi wireframes
Cons
- My team always has trouble setting up a new board at the correct "scale", everything is gigantic or tiny. Maybe some placeholder content when you start a new board to suggest a size for things?
- No hard numbers but it has definitely sped up collaboration
- We used Mural previously and there is a large verbal agreement that Miro is much better for our uses
We do almost all of our product and design strategy in Miro (primarily because I'm a huge advocate :D). We are a dispersed team across two timezones and I often pull up Miro in meetings when great ideas are flying and I want to make sure we capture them. Or to make sure a PM is accountable for their thoughts...
Miro's closest competitor is Mural and that's what my work used previously to switching over. Quite a few functions were missing or incomplete compared to Miro. The timer functionality, voting, and templates were all woefully lacking. User flows I build in Mural broke all the time, I couldn't risk moving them after I made them because they might break.
Figjam's user flow tool is rudimentary compared to Miro
