Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Miro is used for many different use cases. This includes documenting and maintaining individual growth plans, ad-hoc brain storm sessions, preparing workshops, facilitating workshops and maintaining an organisational overview using a virtual Obeya room.

Pros

  • Integrating Jira boards, showing a real time overview of operational status
  • Providing high quality templates for common session types, saving a lot of setup time.
  • Easy grouping and connecting of board elements
  • Navigating the board using shortcuts and use of the mouse wheel, and right mouse button.

Cons

  • Board layers would be welcome, with the ability to activate / deactivate / lock a layer of objects
  • Unlocking multiple objects is a lot of work. It would be good to be able to select and unlock multiple locked objects.
  • When creating a shared link it would be good to have an option to automatically create a "board info" frame on the board with the name of the board and the password, so that it can easily be found and shared.
  • Spaces are welcome, but dealing with a lot of boards it would be good to have either an option to ad index words to the boards that can be used to filter / search or a recursive folder structure.
  • Improved productivity. Combining ChatGPT for generating an agenda and leveraging existing templates in Miro has reduced the preparation time for common events such as retrospectives from 1 hour to 10 minutes.
While it has some integrations, often times I still need to resort to cutting and pasting screen shots from internal websites. A generic web frame that can show a specific intranet / web site would be welcome.
The impact is mostly for facilitating events such as kick-offs or retrospectives. Working with fully remote teams, Miro is great for this.
Miro is a lot more flexible and intuitive to use than Klaxoon, which can be confusing. First time users usually have no issue with Miro but often struggle with Klaxoon.

Microsoft Teams / Microsoft Whiteboard is great for MS integration but really too limited and basic for using for more than a simple brainstorm.

Mural is close to Miro but Miro beats Mural in options, integrations and usability making it more versatile.

Do you think Miro delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Miro's feature set?

Yes

Did Miro live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Miro go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Miro again?

Yes

Very well suited for virtual obeya rooms, giving an overview of a (part of) the organisation. Also great for on-line workshops, and planned and unplanned brain storm sessions.

Can be helpful as an overarching tool to use when multiple planning tools are used in an organisation.

Not recommended if the resulting work needs to manually be transferred to other tools.
