Overall Satisfaction with Miro

I am a professional facilitator and I use Miro as the primary collaboration tool for workshops and offline ideation. It holds the source of truth for each project and we leverage such tooling as frames, shapes, arrows, stickers, comments, timers, voting, image copy paste, Google Suite embeddings, links, presentation mode, etc.

Pros

  • Easy-to-use intuitive interface
  • Swift onboarding
  • Real-time collaboration
  • Interoperability with other platforms

Cons

  • Comments management
  • Lack of offline mode
  • Adjusting the background colour
  • Improved transparency
  • Easy collaboration
I am constantly improving the way we're leveraging Miro in our processes, and forced changes (as it was with comments) sometimes negatively impact the flow.
We do brainstorms and client work there, now even my teammates turn to Miro without my guidance for their needs.
Miro is more versatile, has more features and can be as simple and as complex as you want it to be. Also very easy supports different types of entities (pictures, videos, links, pdfs, documents, etc.), and does not have a steep learning curve. It has all that I need.

Would you buy Miro again?

My go-to visual tool. Great for personal ideation, group facilitation, explaining ideas and drafting pretty much anything. Sleek, simple, hotkey-rich and can be made to look pretty and presentable, professional. Supports many other apps and also has all that you might need built in. Community makes it easy to source great templates from others.
