Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Miro for collaborative design discussions and ongoing development, scheduling and pull planning, and presentations to clients. We also use it for interactive visioning sessions with clients to host discussions and get their interactive input.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Large never ending canvas
pulling in images, links, materials from various media types
interactive live, everyone can jump in at the same time
great templates and intuitive controls for annotations

Cons

printing, printing slide decks or overall screen shop. sometimes its not easy to find or export information
organizing the frames in the presentation mode is not intuitive if I want to move the order of my slides or frames around
Calendar style templates that automatically update dates. We use this a lot for pull plans that are organized linear style by week. More options to have a starter template where you can type in the start date and it automatically populates the weeks moving forward would be great.

Return on Investment

increased interaction with collogues and clients
Faster turn around on design efforts
increased productivity on projects where teams are split across multiple offices

Implementation Rating

Miro is implemented on 90% of our projects. Each project typically has at least one board, if not multiple boards, for different project efforts.

Ease of Integration

Miro is very intuitive to navigate, so there is pretty much no "onboarding" time for those who have not used it before on a project. Almost all media types can be pulled into Miro, so integration is always easy.

Collaboration

Miro has greatly improved out ability to collaborate virtually all at the same time. I would guess 80-90% of our organization uses Miro on every project.

Alternatives Considered

Miro is faster and easier. Miro also has never-ending paper space, which is nice.

Likelihood to Recommend

Less appropriate for polished presentations or type of work where we will need to do global updates on items. Miro is great for collaborative efforts and efforts where we want clients to feel comfortable interacting to provide input. Miro is also great to use when not everyone can be on the call at the same time or physically in the room because everyone can join the board and make changes or provide input.
