Overall Satisfaction with Miro
Our team has been almost entirely distributed for as long as we've been a company. The ability to work through topics together -- whether it's whiteboarding, doing UX exercises, or charting a journey (of a person, product, or company!), Miro has been a lifesaver.
The templates are a great jumping off point for newbies, but more often than not, we wind up just using some stickies and some basic shapes and we're off and running. The ability to recreate a genuine work session while not being physically in the same room is something we have not found with any other software.

- Co-working: the ability to tag in colleagues at exact points of the screen, or have them follow your cursor so they don't get lost.
- Customization: the ability to change colors, sizes, and details so you can mark things up individually and know what's what when you go back to it.
- Commenting: the ability to leave comments and tag others to those comments. This is becoming increasingly standard these days, but Miro was an early adopter, and it's made a big difference when our team is working asynchronously.
- Templates: feeling like you don't know where to start? Pull up the myriad of template options and start clicking around. It's sure to get your brain going.
- I'd like it to be easier to export frames and maintain quality.
- More shapes!
- More sticky colors. (Is this silly? Yes. But it would be helpful when working with a big team and a lot of topics.)
- Before we had an actual project management system, we used Miro in the interim, and it worked pretty well. It definitely improved productivity and helped visibility to know what everyone was doing and when.
- There are a lot of different software programs you can buy that would be pieces of what Miro does. Miro is several of them wrapped into one. It proved itself worth the initial costs within weeks of making the purchase.
- Some of us have become too dependent on it and are incapable of making it through a meeting without screen sharing Miro, which makes others of us a little crazy!
As a remote team, Miro has made our work possible and FUN. When we start a new project, it's always a race to see who gets to start the new Miro board first, and we're always eager to dive in.
Between commenting, following the cursor, linking someone directly to a frame, and all of the stickies, Miro is truly a blessing for distributed teams. Particularly if you tend to work asynchronously, Miro makes it possible to see where someone has left off, or leave comments/questions for your colleagues so they know where you need their eyes when they're able to tag in.
