Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Miro is used in our organisation for client profiles. We collate the goals, interests, assets, and relationships of each of our clients in a presentable format. These mind map depictions of the client's situation are displayed and updated with the client in each meeting to provide a holistic view of their situation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Ability to move each branch around.
Breadth of functionality.
Organisation.

Cons

Would be nice to customise the lines without pressing on the tab itself.
The amount of space in a worksheet can be a bit overwhelming; perhaps consider offering different versions—one where you can have endless space, one where you're a little more restricted.
Wish you could set the whole background as white.
Frame functionality a little confusing.

Return on Investment

Costs are cheap, we are using the free plan and get access to lots of functionality.
Improves the ability to present ideas to clients.
Improves efficiency of collating and navigating ideas.

Implementation Rating

Implementation of Miro was easy and required very minimal effort. The free-to-use plan was easily implemented into our business's day-to-day operations. We can store all our mind maps in Miro, ensuring they are easily accessible and in one place.

Collaboration

Miro's ability to unite teams of remote workers has significantly enhanced the collaboration on projects when using Miro. As a team with staff working from various locations, such as home or different offices, Miro's ability to collaborate from multiple locations enables us to work together productively and efficiently.

Alternatives Considered

Xmind

When comparing Miro to other mind mapping tools, such as Xmind, key factors that make Miro stand out include its ability to convey and display thoughts in an exponential and creative way. The ability to use sticky notes, mindmaps, and create different workspaces, and to collate ideas significantly highlights the breadth of its functionality.

Likelihood to Recommend

Miro is well-suited to creating mind maps and organising ideas. There is ample functionality, allowing you to display your ideas in the desired format effectively. However, the usability and ease of use are somewhat challenging. The framing can be a bit confusing, and it can be difficult to navigate when creating the mind maps you intend to build.
