Overall Satisfaction with Miro

We use Miro to do all kinds of freeform information gathering and informal mind-mapping. Miro makes it easy for everyone to share their thoughts and markups in a single place, in real time. I can produce large unstructured markups without worrying about page sizes or trying to make things linear. I can then share with an extended group and take everyone through it, with them adding notes and thoughts in real time.

Pros

  • I like that Miro is real-time, multi-user, and "low-fuss".
  • It's a great place to just get stuff out of your brain and onto a page, without worrying too much about making it linear
  • Its been pretty intuitive to learn and use, we use it pretty much daily for all kinds of tasks (wire-framing, planning, shared markups, etc).

Cons

  • With so few rules, sometimes boards can get messy.
  • Certain UI features can be a little annoying, and the wire frame library is missing some components that would be helpful to have.
  • It can also be difficult to navigate all of the boards - there's multiple layers of organization which makes things a bit confusing. I usually search for the boards I need and then leave them open.
  • By using Miro in accordance with its strengths, I'm able to organize information in an intuitive way, structured visually instead of locked in to a specific format like a word document. The infinite canvas is well-suited for this kind of "visual organization"
  • Generally, the ability to mix different kinds of media (images, text, notes, diagrams, etc) has been incredibly helpful for the more creative parts of teams' processes.
  • People at every skill level are able to use Miro confidently, with almost zero training.
I would say that I use the infinite canvas the most. I organize content into clusters, and then use sticky notes and other markup tools to add whatever additional context I need.
Recently, I've also started making dashboard mockups in Miro, pasting in placeholder graphics for slicers and charts, to ensure the team agrees on the dashboard purpose and layout before I spend time building it in a tool like PowerBI.
Polling/ voting is also very useful.

Not particularly, I most of my other tools have specific applications/ use cases for which they are simply better. For instance, photoshop and illustrator are useful for creating outward facing/ production-ready materials. I still use Powerpoint for any kind of formal presentation. And then I use something like Figma to do more in-depth or interactive proto-typing. But Miro is a great starting point and collaboration/ coordination tool all the same.

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

Miro is great if you're looking for a digital whiteboard.
- We generally create a single board for a big initiative, and then let everyone put content in for the group's review/ markup.
- We've used Miro to help assess intern candidates, we drop in their portfolios and then rank them. Each team member is able to add notes or highlight faves. We can also take notes during the interviews, which sit right with all the other information.
- Miro is less capable when it comes to spreadsheets or tabular data.
- Calendar/ schedule data is also a bit underwhelming, it works ok but feels a little hacky and not super smart.
