Overall Satisfaction with Miro

We use it for a variety of virtual collaboration use cases - from brainstorming, to capturing and visualizing information, decision making, training workshops, and planning.

Largely it really helps us collaborate effectively when we are not all co-located, whether because of a "work from home" day or when collaborating with colleagues who live and work in different cities.

Pros

  • Simple for capturing and organizing ideas
  • Visualizing information and concepts
  • Co-authoring
  • Collaborative decision-making through voting or dot-voting

Cons

  • The voting feature can sometimes be a bit clunky
  • Allow us to stream other music in the timers
  • Improving presentation mode to have similar features to PowerPoint presenting in terms of presenter view, speaker notes, animations, etc. For training we could seamlessly present and do exercises in Miro instead of switching back and forth.
  • I don't know the cost but for us it's greatly improved our productivity and efficiency in how we collaborate in hybrid and remote settings.
I find it fairly simple and intuitive to use. I know I've had some colleagues who have had trouble getting used to it though.
Stickies, voting, and Kanban boards
I like how it can integrate with Microsoft 365 so I can include documents and document links easily. We have not done the ADO integration, but having had the JIRA integration at a previous company I would love that.
I only used Mural as a student in a training class in 2020, but my recollection of it was that it seemed very comparable.

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

Well-suited: various virtual collaboration scenarios - brainstorming, planning, decision making. Simple visualizations. Basic Kanban boards.

Less appropriate: Presentations (especially formal - use PowerPoint instead). Working with data (Excel). More complex visuals (Visio, etc.). More robust workflows (JIRA, ADO, etc.).
