Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

design collaboration for different projects, meeting presentation to client and for internal review, information gathering for different project and being able to view all information at the same time without having to open up files from file explorer individually, keeping track of different websites in a single location for product information

Pros and Cons

Pros

keeping information organized
visual representation of ideas
collaborating virtually with team members
presentation board organization

Cons

sometimes boards start to go slow when too much information is on it
pdf seems to be an issue - causes the boards to run slower
would be nice to have the boards be a like indesign where we could apply a template so the boards we know are the same in a set for a presentation

Return on Investment

Saves time for looking up information that has been gathered. I'd say probably saves me at least 50% of time
Two or more people can be putting together content at the same time. It's also a savings of 50% of time or more!

Implementation Rating

I'm not entirely sure I understand this question, but if it's about how well Miro can be used for the purpose of presentation and information gathering I have found it to be 10 our of 10! It is every easy to learn how to use and run smoothly for the most part. There is some issues once the board has been filled to a certain amount which can be frustrating, but easy enough to start a new board.

Collaboration

Yes, it has allowed the "work for home" culture to be much more viable for our design team. It's also nice that we can "tag" individuals where we left off so that if we're not working at the same time we are still able to let our team members know where we left off and what they need to review.

Alternatives Considered

Microsoft 365 and Trello

Microsoft also has a whiteboard, but it's not nearly as functional as Miro in terms of the different variety of graphics it can produce. It also runs slower much more quickly than Miro which is extremely frustrating. However, it's nice that there's not an additional subscription fee to use it since it is a part of the microsoft package. I've also used Trello for managing projects, which it does well, but it doesn't so project presentation boards like Miro can.

Likelihood to Recommend

great for collaboration with other's virtually. can be tricky when there are a lot of sheets and you want to make sure everything is consistent because there is no locked template like InDesign to make sure everything is exactly the same
