Overall Satisfaction with Miro

We use Miro as a collaboration and presentation tool for anything from product roadmapping to team retrospectives to architecture diagrams. Basically if there is anything that would be improved with a visual aide, Miro is typically the easiest and best option for us. I'm not sure how much it is used outside of engineering but within this department it is used by all roles.

Pros

  • Useful templates
  • Intuitive interface
  • Easy sharing

Cons

  • Make like a dynamic asset library of components per canvas. So if I've made some red squares and green triangles, put those into a flyout and let me add more with a single click.
  • Intelligently scale and wrap text while I'm typing if I've started typing inside a shape/group/etc
  • Have a lightweight publicly accessible version where I can sketch something very basic and share the URL with a click, without having to have an account. Like a gist, but for miros.
  • Decreased upfront planning time for engineering work
  • Improved team efficiency
  • Decreased cost vs paying for other tools in the same market
It would be a lot more difficult to collaborate on new projects without Miro, as our team is fully remote. We'd probably be using something like Canva, or shoving Keynote diagrams into a Notion doc, or something like that. Miro makes collaboration painless and productive.
Miro beats all of these for ease of use and having the functionality we need without any extra cruft. By far the best tool I know of for going from an idea in my head to a visualization I can share with others quickly.

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

Often when planning engineering work its useful to visualize how data will be transformed and flow through a system, Miro is by far the tool with the least amount of friction for sketching out basic diagrams like this. Also we've found it very useful for product retrospectives, we prepopulate a board with a bunch of sticky notes beforehand and everyone can log on and drag and drop them where they want and fill them out and the realtime collaboration aspect Just Works.
