Overall Satisfaction with Miro

We mostly use Miro as a 'whiteboard', to organise thinking, flows, workshops. We use same templates, and post-its for collaboration. Personally, I've been using it instead of PowerPoint for slides so that my presentation content and my ideation, workshops etc live in the same place. I also sometimes use it for rapid skechting wireframes.

Pros

  • Gather different types of information (pdfs, collaborative sessions post-its, slides, wireframes)
  • Facilitate collaboration through post-its
  • Allow a group to look at the same thing without sharing screen

Cons

  • Navigation, especially for less tech-savvy people. I'm using Miro with lots of people who have never used it before and the learning curve is gigantic, to the point that they dread me saying we'll be using Miro. I fear that the initial shock of inital navigation prevents them from getting to the benefits of using Miro.
  • The dot voting - even I couldn't figure out how to use it. It seems to just give people infinite votes (instead of like 3 votes per user or some kind of limitation)
  • I never know what 'size' to make something. I like being able to zoom in or out but I'd like to have frames that guide me toward best practice based on what I'm trying to achieve. E.g. if it's something I want to print, or export to PDF what frame is best to use, if it's something I want people to collaborate on, etc...
  • I'm afraid that's way below my pay grade to know, but it has definitely enabled teams to collaborate more effectively and to organise artefacts better than they would before with Word/Powepoints.
I'd say it's a 10 for me - I've used it for years, but I can see how some of my colleagues have struggled with simple things like adding a post-it. I think the usability itself is good but it's not as intuitive that it doesn't need any training.
Post-its, being able to upload files, using templates for collaboration, templates for showing flows, etc.
To some extent - I still find I have to create a word version of something or a powerpoint version of something for people who are less tech-savvy (and usually senior). Or the other way around, that it gets populated with docs. I'd also like Miro to be the go-to for project management, wireframing, but devs/designers are more wedded to Jira/Figma respectively so eventually things end up moving to one of these places.

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?

No

Would you buy Miro again?

Yes

Having used Miro with lots of people that were using it for the first time and are not particularly tech-savvy, I'd be reluctant to recommend it 10/10. If someone is open-minded about remote collaboration and is a bit tech-savvy, I'd say it's likely to work best.
