Overall Satisfaction with Miro

We us Miro to facilitate brainstorming on various ideas, get alignment across team members, for facilitating research sessions with participants, such as card sorting to name a few. We also use Miro to map out processes or flow diagrams, collaborate and gather feedback from peers, or as a dumping ground for data to sift through using it's whiteboard like capabilities at a remote company.

Pros

  • Sticky notes brainstorming
  • Creating diagrams / flow charts
  • Compiling data from multiple sources
  • Gathering feedback on any of the points above

Cons

  • More options for flow charts / colors
  • Ability to use organization branded colors and saving those as defaults
  • More options to share outside of organization
  • Supporting remote teams
  • Enabling remote brainstorming and ideation sessions
  • Collaborate asynchronously on ideas
I have found Miro extremely easy to use - from moving stickies around, etc. There are some features you have to remember to use (such as locking backgrounds/frames) to ensure the best usability.
The tools or features that I use the most are flow charting to help map out things I've learned from research and turn them into visualizations. I also use sticky notes and brainstorming features to support ideation and collaboration once we have research data and findings to learn and make decisions from.
Miro is a great partner platform - it works well in parallel with our standard office software (e.g., PPT, word), and other niche tools (such as Dovetail for data analysis). It has it's place in our workflow, but I don't think it replaces some of those specific software programs.
We switched to Miro from Mural because of the ease of collaboration features and the improved user experience Miro provides.

Do you think Miro delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

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

Miro is very well suited to support brainstorming, sticky note ideation, mapping out data, creating flow charts, etc. It's helpful for categorizing ideas, etc.
Miro is less suited for deep grounded theory analysis, using codebooks and rigiorous methods for qualitative data analysis.
