What do you like best about Miro?

Our teams can quickly sketch out ideas v. describe them on calls. These are great for brainstorming sessions and for rough, low-fi wireframing, mapping, or planning. I use Freehand weekly, if not daily during my work week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Miro?

When pushing artboards from Sketch, sometimes Freehand will only let you have 1-2 screens in "focus" at a time. Zooming in and out or refreshing can sometimes help but it seems that Freehand can only render so much at a time. In our case, we are usually looking at the flows of app screens. It would be nice to use the line tool and simply draw a triangle at the end of a line to create an arrow vs. 2-4 clicks to transform your line. When using the ↗ on an artboard to connect screens, it would be nice to be able to adjust where the arrow points vs. the top/center/or bottom of the artboard. To be more specific, I find myself making borderless/fillless shapes and connecting those instead to make the illusion of pointing to where I want it to point. Our team test drove Figma's version of Freehand and everyone felt like it was too much. Freehand is this sweet, beautiful thing due to its simplicity and ease of use. The Freehand team should be mindful not to clutter with feature overload. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Miro:

Our InVision rep is constantly changing. At this point in time, we don't know who they are and therefore do not have a relationship with InVision as a company. Reps we have had in the past were great but since Adriane left over a year ago, we haven't heard anything or had anyone to work with when issues arise. Please improve the client-company relationship experience. Don't forget about us after the sell. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Miro solving and how is that benefiting you?

Typically we are roughing out ideas that might be too complex or time-consuming to describe. A quick picture is worth 1000 words. Our team is usually looking at user flows of an app. Our UX writers are usually writing their copy in freehand so they can rough-wire to better understand their content spacially. We have also used Freehand to spin up quick presentations of WIP work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
