Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Primarily for brainstorming and collaboration sessions. We often use it during our work weeks, where we gather in-person and virtually as a team, to walk through a problem we're facing and then ideate on potential solutions. It also helps visualize and share product areas, especially for internal education / awareness of programs. So often I try to map out things I'm working on, then walk through the Miro board during a presentation - in place of slides.

Pros

  • Collaboration
  • Ideation
  • Visualization
  • Brainstorming

Cons

  • Onboarding
  • Can be hard to follow others, especially when there are several users
  • I find it hard to find new edits
  • Improved feasibility of projects. Projects tend to get approved when there is a Miro board involved somewhere during the development process.
  • There tends to sometimes be a speed bump between Miro board ideation sessions and first steps. But that may be a problem outside of Miro. Basically, I'd like to be able to act quickly upon the ideas that come from a brainstorm session...so maybe there's potential with some integrations into other platforms.
  • Improved collaboration and teamwork.
It has helped immensely. We are a remote team, with members across the world / in various time zones. So being able to have an active whiteboard which can be used at different times, is very helpful. I have noticed, however, that the most successful Miro boards are ones created when we're all on a call together.
They both can potentially solve similar problems, but they're unique enough to have and use separate from each other. I find that Miro is best for non-UX teams, while Figma is preferred. Miro feels more user-friendly to the average person in our org (including myself).

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?

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

Team brainstorming sessions. This is my primary use case, and what I've seen others across my org use it for the most. When we are kicking off a new project or exploring a new area, it is used as a place to ask questions, throw ideas on a board, and try to visualize solutions. Mapping customer journeys or processes. This is where I'd like to improve the most, as I think it could serve the most value for me in my role. Being able to visually show customer journeys, or user journeys, whether they are internal or external users of products or programs.
