Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Miro boards to share ideas, discuss design processes, draw on images, plans, etc. We also started using video calls from the board, which is very useful for us. We are an architecture studio, and everything mentioned above is highly valued. The ability to work together on the same board at the same time makes teamwork much easier. In my particular case, I enjoy being able to draw on the plans we're working on from my iPad.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Teamwork: Everyone on the same board, sharing images and drawing together in real time.
It's very useful as a storyline of the design process for every project, and you can easily check the early stages because everything is on the same board.
Videocalls. Very usefull not to have to use another app for the calls while everyone is on Miro

Cons

When using the app on my iPad, it's not very easy for me to move around the board.
"Our boards can grow too quickly, and we have to archive parts of them into other boards in order to keep working. It would be great to have a way to create sub-boards linked to a main board.
It would be helpful to be able to change the opacity of the images we upload, to make them more transparent.

Return on Investment

Improved feedback within teams.
Makes it faster to share information. All the information in one board, you don't have to be looking on folders in your computer.
For the principals is an easy and fast way to check the work done

Implementation Rating

I previously used Miro boards for university projects, so when the idea of using it in our company started to take shape, I immediately agreed and shared my opinion about it.

Collaboration

We are a team with staff in three different countries, and Miro is a great tool for sharing information, ideas, giving feedback, and drawing on plans. Multiple people can collaborate at the same time, each from their own home and country. It’s even useful on the iPad when using a computer isn’t possible.

Likelihood to Recommend

It’s super useful for design review meetings and everyday teamwork. Sharing ideas and drawing on images is especially helpful when working on floor plans or elevations. It’s great to sketch over and collaborate with the team in real time, and also have video calls, all within the same app. It also works well for flowcharts, diagrams, and reviewing client presentations. However, with many large images, the board slows down significantly, which impacts the overall user experience.
