Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Miro on our technology team for: road mapping, design, creating custom graphics for presentations, documentation, and brain storming. It's easier to use than power point or any other tool and has more customization for creating images. It's similar to tools we've used for process documentation but it's design options are visually much more appealing than tech tools. It's also incredibly user friendly so it's used by our design/marketing teams too.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Great templates so you don't need to build from scratch
Super easy to use for beginners
Fast and easy export of any part of any board
Easy to collaborate with multiple users on a board

Cons

Most of the icons are hard to use on different any background that is not white
There are nice templates but most are easy to make on your own -- miro should give more complicated ones that can be filled in
My browser sometimes has issues with zooming in/out and I have to refresh the whole board
Sizing is hard to determine

Return on Investment

Improved visuals and designs for presentations
Easy to use road mapping feature
Quick and easy collaboration with multiple teams/users on a board

Collaboration

Miro has been great in the ideation and brainstorming phase. Multiple team members are able to work on a single board at the same time and export presentable versions. We also use the lock/ comments feature liberally to prevent making changes to other members work. It also helps team members create technical visuals/documentation together.

Alternatives Considered

Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite, Smartsheet and Microsoft Powerpoint

We used lucidchart to create quick tech documentation but Miro is able to do that plus a lot more on the design/brain storming side. We used smartsheets for roadmapping and still would for in-depth project management and budgeting but Miro is more visually appealing for a high level view. We still use PowerPoint for presentations but use Miro instead of the charts feature in it.

Likelihood to Recommend

Miro is great for creating visuals for presentations and meetings. The mind map feature is great for showing all the data available in an organization. Also great for creating documentation and road mapping/brainstorming. But it's not always easy to use to create things on-the-fly during a live meeting. its also not easy to use images/icons from the internet.
