Overall Satisfaction with Miro

As an engineering leader who works remotely daily, having a collaboration tool with the ability to share and document items is essential for me and my peers. A picture paints a thousand words; instead of having wordy descriptions that document a task description or workflow connections, having a diagram where you could share, collaborate, and adjust visually helps bring the idea across. You are not confined to only a vertical canvas but also a horizontal view where people can correlate with confidence and follow the flow more naturally.

Pros

  • Visual hints or clues for readers to follow.
  • Real time sharing and collaboration.
  • Comments and annotations that helps with illustrations.
  • Simple browser interactions.

Cons

  • The use of arrows and annotations could be more flexible; Especially when I want multiple arrows coming out from a single element/box.
  • Quick read is made possible.
  • Complex documentation could become simple depending on your flow.
  • Linking the Miro diagram to JIRA could be challenging when not all of your audience is licensed.
Good integration with Slack when pasted into messages. Embedding within JIRA could be challenging, but maybe it is just us where we do not have licenses for all users.
Within the team setup, it is great. Pairing a good sketching input device is awesome, but knowingly, not everybody has the same setup. Therefore, it could be challenging for some people. Instead of brainstorming verbally, people are more comfortable drawing boxes and having quick sketches to get their ideas across.
Miro suits more typical, day-to-day users who do not necessarily care about being pixel-perfect for visual signoffs and approvals. Great for engineers and non-engineers, product person who needs to whip up a quick sketch.

Do you think Miro delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

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

Awesome with a remote work environment where you need a visual guide for users/readers to follow. It's a great companion in addition to old boring documents that could be dreadful to read. You do not necessarily have to replace your document, but having another option is helpful.
