Overall Satisfaction with Miro

As a Product Owner, I constantly face the challenge of understandably communicating the requirements of the business to the IT teams and the deliveries of the IT team to the business. PI/Sprint plannings, demos, roadmaps, process mappings up to even team compositions, all of which benefit from a clear visual representation. Miro offers all the tools one needs to not only create said visual representation, but also make it so whatever you create is worth seeing. As someone that loves a bit of healthy perfectionism in their craft with a background of working with tools like MS Paint and PowerPoint, I can say without a doubt Miro is the right tool. No longer are you the victim of staggering shapes, horrific picture quality and inconsistent selection methods. I am a clear advocate of the tool. Try it! I'm sure you will too in less than a week or two...

Pros

  • Resizing
  • Visual representation
  • Offering useful templates
  • Intuitive working

Cons

  • Mirroring shapes without changing the text orientation
  • Having more pivot points in standard shapes like speech bubbles
  • Bug fixing the layers, sometimes they time out when large pieces of data are moved
  • Efficiency, going back from 4+ systems per planning to 2
  • Colleague experience, I receive tons of compliments on the clarity of the visuals I create
  • Faster work, instantly creating clear boards while in meetings
  • Clarity, creating boards requires really thinking about the core of the problems which has lead to multiple new insights
As I mentioned before, I do think Miro is amazing, but it is not the one solution to fix all problems. This has much to do with the limitations of the software and aforementioned bugs that decrease the usability of the tool.

More features get added every day so I wouldn't be surprised if this grade goes up even more.
Having multiple colleagues work on a board real time at the same time without it hindering your own performance or causing any notable delays is fantastic. Miro has become the primary tool for mid-high level discussions within my company.

Also the convert to PDF feature works wonders for those really high level discussions in which documentation is key.
If anything I use other tools way less. Miro is a sole replacer for a lot of existing office toolings. And although it cannot beat any office tool in their niche (besides maybe paint) but it is an amazing Jack of all trades that offers much of the basic-mid level adjustments of all other tools combined in one big tool.

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?

Yes

Would you buy Miro again?

Yes

I use it for:
PI Planning
Stakeholder Mapping
Sprint Planning
Product Demos
Roadmaps
Decision Trees
Process mapping
Managing dependencies

Overall a lot of standard PI instruments are very well translated to Miro as well as being well represented within already existing templates.

I wouldn't (necessairily) use Miro for:
Presentations: although the present option works very decent, PowerPoint is just way better suited for that job. From transitions to integrations MS definitely outperfoms Miro in that department for now.
