Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Miro is usually the starting point whenever we do any scanning or research, journey, maps, ideation sessions, business organization, mapping internal research, even early ideation for visuals that later go into PowerPoint. Working with teammates exclusively online makes Miro pretty invaluable to us as a team. We even used it for more social gatherings, like getting to know new members of a team or teambuilding activities even collecting words of gratitude when sending off a team member to new endeavors.
  • Live collaboration
  • Low complexity
  • The auto detection of whether using a mouse or trackpad does not work well for me. I often have both connected at the same time and might switch which one I’m using and it doesn’t pick up which one I’m using at the moment.
  • I would love to have cursor chat like in FigJam
  • Would be awesome to have higher resolution or vector based emoji. The canvas environment encourages you to make emoji large, but they are designed to be text sized so the resolution shows quickly.
  • Massively aids in reaching alignment in a group
  • Facilitates prototyping ideas and iteration
I think the Desktop app could be implemented better. Currently it’s just a very basic web view that’s offers no advantage over opening it in the browser and if anything is more clunky than just using a tab in your browser, the top in particular is just ugly and doesn’t feel very flushed out. The tabs don’t work as well as tabs in my browser.
Like I said, Miro has been critical for being able to collaborate in the first place. My team is spread across the country and the globe so having Miro as a place for us to scramble, our thoughts together has been key.
Miro is more feature complete than fig jam but Figma has added a few fun quality of life features that make it a little bit more fun to use, but I could totally see Miro bringing in some of those interactions like cursor chat and high-fives

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

Hard to imagine any use case where Miro is not useful at least as a starting point. In our remote context where paper is not necessarily a good option, it is the closest thing that is shareable between teammates where you can brain dump in low fidelity and arrange things into a very useful framework.
