Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Miro to build large presentations and working decks with my broader team. On a normal basis boards are being worked on by around 15-30 people and shared to 50-100.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Multiuser Friendliness
iPhone/App version works well
Easy to understand for a beginner based off symbol/icons in toolbar
Provides blank canvas for creatives to be able to build in their own unique way

Cons

PDF & printable opportunities--not easy to scale or quickly convert Miro boards to a PDF or print off when needed
quantifying capabilities--able to tally the number of items/words/etc in a workbook
organization--it lacks the ability to clearly organize public boards into personal folders for that single user (think how one can organize their own email inbox into folder and subfolers

Return on Investment

It's increased the speed of project delivery with multiuser feature
It's increased the amount of layouts/views created--giving fresh perspective to repetitive business needs

It's very beginner friendly with an easy to approach toolbar and functions. However, it's not digestible for a non-user to navigate beginnig to end like one would be able to do with a power point or excel sheet. It also lacks the ability to hold and present analytical data.

Tool Usage

The comment tool allows my team on the other side of the globe to communicate efficiently while on opposite time zones.

Reduced Tool Overload

Yes, it makes me realize how uncollaborative other tools can be. Miro is also by far the easiest working tool to use from a visual standpoint--with pasting in visuals being extremely quick. While it's amazing for working in it lacks the presentation/end result effect other tools have. The difficulty to convert to a PDF or print makes it hard to present/quickly share out.

Alternatives Considered

Visulon GoToMarket and Microsoft Powerpoint

Miro offers a quick, multiteam member friendly, whiteboard that feels the most creative friendly. However, the two other products are stronger in the presentation area and can link to other systems used in my company.

Likelihood to Recommend

Miro is well suited when you are collaborating with creatives, for when you need a visual presentation/view, and when you need to have multiple people working in an area at once. Miro is less suited for projects that are numbers focused, need to quantify data, or be share with non-Miro users or a mass audience.
