Overall Satisfaction with Miro

We utilize MIRO for nearly every step of product development, including roadmaps, product discovery and customer journey mapping, design and brainstorming, wireframing and mockups, architecture diagrams and process maps, task and scope management (including integration with Jira), stakeholder presentations, retrospectives, and other team activities.

Pros

  • Real-time collaboration.
  • Templates for any purpose and occasion.
  • Facilitator tools (voting, timers, etc).

Cons

  • Jira integration.
  • Permissions management.
  • Presentation miss features (like templates, animation).
  • Faster Project Kickoffs and Alignment - we no longer need to create multiple documents and meetings.
  • Knowledge centralization - when starting new initiatives, everyone has an instinct and habit to use Miro vs other tools.
  • Consolidated 2–3 Tools into One (Cost Savings).
It does what it does well (real-time collaboration), but newer use-cases that are supposed to reduce the need for other classic software development tools are still not quite there (GitHub, Jira, Decks, etc). Permission management is not always transparent. Tables and data visualization are a pain.
Sticky Notes (especially now that you can create stacks), Various Templates (I do not need to invent things, find available templates and adapt), Voting & Timer, Drag-and-Drop Visuals - helps to make things more fun even in corporate Embeds - in other boards and tools, AI capabilities are interesting, and I've been using them more recently. However, I'm still not fully utilizing them to maximize productivity.
Yes, using fewer tools. Something that we use much less now is Confluence, as well as diagramming tools like LucidChart. For simpler presentations, Miro is great. Wireframing is also a great option if you don't need a nice-looking design (a Figma replacement). Additionally, Miro has enough features for individual roadmap creation.

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 - remote real-time collaboration for brainstorming and ideation - remote retrospectives - early-stage wire-framing and feedback collection - strategic planning and roadmapping. Less appropriate - detailed task management and workflow automation, data analysis of complex datasets, presenting to external parties (boards can be very cluttered and hard to navigate).
