Overall Satisfaction with Miro

I am using Miro to organize information on the early stages of product development when we are working to develop a concept, define a problem, and understand what value we are offering. We often have a mix of competitive product information, user interviews, legacy product data, and solution concepts we are exploring.

Pros

  • Organize complex and varied information in a single view
  • Allow users to navigate a very large space that can be organized any way you need it to be
  • Allow collaboration at the same time, at different times, collocated or geographically dispersed.
  • Filter and sort complex problem space and ideate solutions.

Cons

  • Better functionality to pin a document to a board in a variety of formats
  • Easily extract key points from documents to pull into the problem/solution space.
  • Include recorded content from customer interviews, transcribe and extract key points for translation into needs, problems, expectations...
  • This helps us reduce risk by helping us get it right and not developing the wrong thing
  • This is often an easier way to organize varied content than excel
  • Helps remote workers stay involved to the same level as locals
We use this and Figma a lot when we are developing new features and product concepts. Its an important part of our process. We have people around the world that are using it for a variety of different things. It's great that the tool has the flexibility for different groups can use if for whatever they need it for. great flexibility.
Ux team still prefers Figma for some of their work but they also use Miro for other work. Tried Microsoft whiteboard at the request of the IT team for about 10 minutes and then went back to Miro. The MS tool is pretty dismal. Alternatives tend to be just excel and PPT.

Do you think Miro delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Yes

Did implementation of Miro go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Miro again?

Yes

Works well as a tool to sort through and organize a broad range of ideas that don't make sense yet. It works well to collaborate together as a group to find connections and develop ideas. It works well for geographically dispersed teams. Not useful when you are processing video or audio recordings of user interactions or user preferences to extract key points. Also not useful to pull information out of document content such as best practice guidelines or professional articles.
