Overall Satisfaction with Miro
Ideation, brainstorming, presentation, diagramming, reflection. These are the kind of activities that we use Miro for in a team. We are a team that develops and advises on AI related matters for government. We use Miro boards to make plans for the upcoming weeks, reflect on how we are doing as a team (using sticky notes and clustering them) and to quickly sketch out ideas or diagrams to explain certain concepts. Myself I also use Miro to make presentations that look good, or to lead brainstorm meetings, for example using the voting features.
Pros
- Quickly create and adjust shapes and get you going on a diagram
- Making multiple sticky notes and voting
- Real time collaboration in a board
Cons
- The permission system per board/project for teams/users/guests/private is hard to grasp and implement. Could be far more intuitive I think.
- More text editing features inside a text-shape.
- More integration with webex.
- Reduced time when doing reflection in a team
- Happier people when giving workshops or doing brainstorms
- Faster ideation when sketching out ideas

These are all really important use cases that come into play when starting new projects. I work as a tech consultant so start a lot of new projects all the time. Miro is a nice way to get me organised in my ideas and concepts, and keep track of them. I can quickly switch between boards and zoom into something I want to run by someone quickly.

- Notion and Mattermost
Besides, Notion and Mattermost, I also use Arc browser.
Miro is very useful for sketching ideas, concepts, presenting, brainstorming. I use Arc as a really nice powerful browser and organisation of tabs, Mattermost for communication within teams, and Notion for note-taking. All these apps give me the same kind of feeling of getting things done quickly, and are well equipped with features, such as syncing!
