I can keep up with our UX/UI designer using iRise, and he's on a Mac and loves the Sketch, inVision software. I often trump him, by having all the direct customer feedback in place. This also works well with Pragmatic Marketing's approach to software. Requirements can be coded in line with Pragmatic's Strategy to Tactical framework. Love this software!
I recommend Miro due to the following: simple and easy interface to use and multi-platform support. It supports all devices and is good for professional use. Miro offers great tools for editing and designing. It's a digital workspace that allows collaboration and supports third-party integration without any hassle. It has all the tools to create beautiful UI/UX designs for any application, and it also supports team collaboration. Additionally, it auto-saves all created designs during diagramming on the cloud to ensure user data safety.
Recently my client has to have hovers as an enhancement to the current app. I used irise to show them how it would look in the future and they didn't like it. Finally because of the irise wireframe they decided not to have the hover - which was good before it was too late.
Client wanted a new interface to import Excel docs into the interface. I used irise to prototype the whole functionality.
It's an excellent collaboration tool since multiple people can be viewing a board at once, and adding/ranking ideas.
Miro is great for holding reference notes. I have struggled over the years with where things should be stored, but I find the visual appeal of Miro to be my pick. I have a personal Miro board where I can keep notes on a variety of topics.
I use Miro for retros. I know there are many tools out there for retros, but I find Miro very easy to use for people in any role.
When working on a complex page that has multiple sections with multiple views of each sections, it gets difficult to navigate to the section you want. It would be easier if there was a search functionality for searching the sections or components within the page.
Drag and drop controls to have more properties. e.g. for a button. It would be easier if the properties included BorderStyle, BorderWidth, Color, BackColor etc. Currently, these options are not available on the properties and we have to use the formatting tool bar.
Discovering features can be a little difficult. Many features have been added over the years, so it would be good if there were an easier way to discover tricks, tips, and tools.
The more real-time integrations, the better. So iframes that show live PPT presentations or spreadsheets would be handy. A lot of those tools have poor collaborative features. If Miro could layer it on top somehow, that would be great.
I think some sort of introduction guide/ice breakers that are out of the box and ready to be used would be good. I often need to ensure stakeholders know how to use Miro before kicking off a workshop.
This platform solves the problem that enterprise software sales teams encounter, and iRise cuts to the chase. Sales people often say "do your magic thing with the prototype" and the customer gives immediate feedback, we change it on the fly
I have advocate for the renew of Miro quite few times, however, it is not under my control as the decision is made in another team with their own budget. I would buy for my own entrepreneur projects (1-2 members) as I do know the value and work there 100%. So, I would pay out of my own pocket to get the value. However, If I wouldn't know the value it provides, it would be hard to decide with the current freemium features
Due to facilitating over 50 workshops with a range of disciplines and capabilities, I have observed a first-time user get up to speed with basic tools in Miro in minutes. The learning curve for the product feels relatively simple, yet offers more complex functionality if you are willing to dig deeper and play around. One aspect which I myself find challenging is keeping breadth of new features and ways in which Miro can help me and my team, I tend to dismiss the many pop-ups and 'what's new' dialogues due to being in the moment with a task in hand - I wonder how Miro might solve this problem to raise awareness and inform me of new functionality based on my behaviours and interactions with the product
I only give a 9/10 because of the speed at which it loads. I have never experienced issues with Miro logging me out early, or some other technical issue causing the program to crash, or even it just loading in perpetuity without ever actually coming up (unlike other programs such as SFDC). It take a minute for all of my boards to come up after I click on it in my favorites, but besides that, it's all good.
Sometimes it gets quite slow and there is a correlation between this and the size of the board. Hence we are trying to segment the boards based on product stages or projects so that the size doesn't go big. When you go from discovery to delivery on a simple board, it will get large and difficult to load, even crash or go white screen
We have never reached out to or contacted support because Miro's platform has been incredibly intuitive and user-friendly. The comprehensive resources available, such as tutorials, documentation, and community forums, have provided all the guidance we needed. The seamless integration with our existing tools and the reliability of the platform have ensured that we rarely encounter issues that require external assistance. This self-sufficiency has allowed us to focus more on our projects and collaboration without interruptions. Overall, our experience with Miro has been smooth and efficient, eliminating the need for additional support
There was a series of webinars which Miro hosted with our organization that went over the basics, then progressively became more advanced with additional sections. The instructors were knowledgeable, and provided examples throughout the sessions, as well as answered peoples' questions. There was ample time and experience on the calls to cover a range of topics. The instructors were also very friendly and sociable, as well as honest. Of course Miro isn't a "God-tool" that does absolutely everything, but the instructors were aware and emphasized the strengths where Miro had them and sincerely accepted feedback.
Easy to learn, Miro has a series of videos on YouTube that effectively taught this program to my team members and me. The program is drag-and-drop and works excellently. People pick up on how to use it efficiently, and it's great for organizing ideas more freely. This product is more challenging for some older audiences who are not accustomed to using a touchpad, but for most, it was very easy to use.
We have used iRise instead of tools like Word, Excel, Visio, and other diagram tools found online. iRise is good because I think it captures the good parts of all these packages into one. I am able to easily create diagrams and mockups in one software package instead of cobbling together a bunch of other solutions.
I’ve used Google Slides, Figma (whiteboarding), Jamboard, Notion, and Google Calendar for planning and organizing content, including scheduling posts for creators. Miro stands out for combining structure, flexibility, and collaboration in a way the others don’t. It’s more dynamic and intuitive than Google Slides for visual thinking, less design-specific than Figma so anyone on the team can use it easily, and more interactive than Notion or Jamboard when it comes to creative ideation and feedback. Compared to Google Calendar, Miro provides a more visual and collaborative approach to planning and organizing, especially for creative tasks. It centralizes several processes into one platform, making it the most complete option for my daily work.
Maybe is possible now so... Could be useful to manage in some way source code for the projects? not to edit so when we make solutions with different components in MIro, maybe each component could redirect to the source code of this component
