Overall Satisfaction with Miro

running product discoveries, running retrospective meetings, taking notes or draft ideas and concept mapping.
i use it both for personal/individual use and as a team faciliation tool.
the problem for me is that i like big whiteboards and Miro offers me that everywhere and beign a remote worker this has made my life much better and easier.

Pros

  • allow my ideas to start flowing
  • enable team collaboration a nd retrospectives
  • AI with it makes repetitive tasks much more bearable
  • speed me up

Cons

  • it gets really slow sometimes. loading a board, or navigating across boards
  • i'll iterate on the slowness so this get more chances to get picked ;)
  • i would love the ability to draw on it, as i would do on my tablet with my digital pen (tbh i haven't checked if this is already available, if it is make it more visible)
  • hard to quantify, but it definitely made me faster in doing discoveries or in organizing brainstorming ideas
  • it made me save time when i have to explain complex concepts or relationships in the product work we are doing.
well again for the slowness.
but mainly because it still miss a viable way of writing things manually on the board.

so ideally i would like to put a digital sticky note there, but write on top of it on my tablet. is this mixture of digital and analogic interaction which would be incredibly powerful i think
auto groupings, AI to cluster stickies from brain storming.
the templates are good but to be frank most of the time we go with things veeery basic, like a 2x2 matrix or a few columns and then throw sticky's at it.
great are the voting functionalities or those features to facilitate meetings when users have to all storm on the board and add stuff into it
we integrate a lot with jira. i have mainly utilized AI from outside (chat gpt, claude, gemini) and then copy paste stuff in and out.
great feature for pasting as sticky's but however sometimes things get messed up or split in multiple sticky's.
i'm definitely using less powrpoint, but no other major impacts
well we use them in combo.

it generally depends if i want to have somethign mocked up quickly or if i need to do something more specific or structured or ready to be integrated.

so if i need a roadmap for the team to present to the company i probably do it in aha as it is there to stay and linked directly to product team work.

but if i need something "quick and dirty" as 1-off or just to build a single slide, i might use Miro.

same for projects: i might start drafting initial project plan in Miro and handle it there until it gets too complex, then i move to project or similar more specific tools

so in short Miro is a 1 fits all, but still cannot replace specific tools in each area

Do you think Miro delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

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

again, best scenarios will be collaboration, sharing ideas and mockups, inviting colleagues and managee into my idea space. useful to explain and drwa simple diagrams just to help describing structures or relationships.
great for mind mapping and to write down initial drafts of ideas concepts visually. AI is great at doing this in text but sometimes the visual representation is better.
the score of 9 is only for the slowness that sometimes starts impacting the usage
