Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We mainly use it as a way of collaborating and ideating on visual elements. It's a fantastic tool for sharing and gathering references and to communicate art direction and new ideas. For artists, it's a one stop spot to look at curated references for each new piece and to get thoughts addressed and examined in a collaborative environment. This is incredibly invaluable as often we work remotely now and it encourages team synergy.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is an excellent tool for gathering references and ideation. I can't praise it enough for the amount of time saved from this tool, especially for remote teams. As a VFX artist, it's been my go to for our team to reference collected concept art and direction changes. This has enabled fewer lengthy meetings and more production work to be accomplished.
