Overall Satisfaction with Miro

We're using it as a brainstorming tool and for diagramming our systems (to various successes). I don't think our org uses any advanced features like calls or discussions; it's mostly a whiteboard for us. I am also using it as a scratchpad for unfinished ideas to remember relationships between different things or to map out projects I am working on—also, a mind mapping tool.

Pros

  • Being a whiteboard for diagramming and brainstorming.
  • Allowing collaborative editing for multiple users.
  • Being a space for stuffing clips and notes to.
  • Great at aligning and connecting shapes without effort.
  • Mind mapping!

Cons

  • HORIZONTAL BRACKETS!!!
  • Not saving a board if nothing was added (I don't need those "Untitled" ones).
  • More shapes, custom packs I can subscribe to.
  • Better visibility of what we're doing as a team — so, improved productivity.
  • Aligning everyone in one tool, so saving costs on using a diverse zoo of different tools.
Working on the same whiteboard as a team is, of course, a great thing — it's better than using a physical one because you can see what people are pointing at or what they are doing. We are using it to brainstorm and plan new projects with great success.

Do you think Miro delivers good value for the price?

Yes

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

Miro is a great digital whiteboard with all the features you want from one. It's responsive and smooth operating and does the basic things well (like aligning shapes and connecting them). It's great as a brainstorming and mind-mapping tool; it basically replaces a lot of specialized mind-mapping software. You can use it for presentations as well, or to record some explanations about your board, though it still does not replace PowerPoint for me.
