Overall Satisfaction with Miro

I use Miro to create mood boards and project timelines to collaborate with fellow creatives and pitch ideas to supervisors. I use Miro as an all-in-one creative video project management solution. From ideation to storyboarding and shot listing through post-production, Miro allows me to stay organized and visit various project stages, all on the same board.

Pros

  • Real-time collaboration - creating mood boards and project timelines with a team in real-time while talking over Teams/Discord.
  • Creating shot lists with easily editable text and photos.
  • Presentations and interactive project breakdowns using multiple frames and grouped objects.

Cons

  • Better Pinterest integration so photos from Pinterest are easily viewable from pasted links.
  • More flexibility to align with brand identity through allowing uploads of custom fonts and assets.
  • Better integration with Google docs, so Google docs can be editable from within Miro.
  • Increasing max count for tables.
  • Improved collaboration and communication between project management and creative roles.
  • Clearer understanding from supervisors on the creative process and idea development vs. other alternatives (Google Docs, canvas).
Miro does relatively well with Google Docs and similar tools, but I wish it were better set up for uploading brand identity assets like custom fonts. Better Pinterest integration would be helpful, as our creative team usually just screenshots pins and uploads them vs. pasting links directly from shotdeck. I would love to see partnerships from Miro with other creative platforms, similar to how Canva has partnered with Shotdeck; perhaps Miro can partner with Stills.
I've been able to collaborate with coworkers while in different states and brainstorm + create project timelines with ease. Miro has changed the way I work remotely and expedited new project timelines. I've felt a significant improvement in our productivity between meetings, as we can contribute to projects and build ideas much more intricately than platforms we were using before, such as Google Docs and Canva.
In my opinion, Miro has the right balance of functionality and simplicity. I've trained people on using Miro, and they've picked it up relatively quickly. It also has the functionality to achieve our goals. Canva's whiteboard tool has some nice stock assets but lacks some of Miro's project management features. Figma shares similiar functionality to Miro, however some of my coworkers have gotten overwhelmed with the abundance of features unrelated to their needs, such as the UI design features.

Do you think Miro delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Miro's feature set?

Yes

Did Miro live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Miro go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Miro again?

Yes

Miro has been a vital tool in my creative and project management process. I've used Miro to ideate, shoot lists, and produce several videos from beginning to end. I've found Miro wonderfully intuitive and taught several coworkers how to use the platform. My only suggestion is to integrate better with other platforms like Pinterest, Google Docs, and Asana. I plan to continue using Miro for future projects and look forward to seeing the progress with future updates.
