Encourages collaboration with our clients, and reactions help to prioritize ideas, but automation to make things more consistent would be helpful
This is a feature-rich product and I would like to see more opportunities for teaching new users how to learn and use the breadth of the platform. Ideally, it would be nice if there were a set of guidelines to explain what it is capable of. I know that there are videos online, and I've watched a few. But, I know that when I first started, just playing around, there were things I didn't discover that I could do until much later. This is why I get surprised by certain integrations I learn that they have. It would have been great to know right from the start, with a guided tutorial on how to use the various options. As it is now, we have invested internally in the educational resources needed to learn how to use it. A tool that can be very self-serving in that way, and enable its users to use it to the breadth of what it is capable of doing, is always a great thing. Whatever they can do to help make the visual look a little cleaner would be great because it can get a bit messy, or inconsistent. If there were automations to do things like making sure that elements are of the same size and correct alignment, it would help to make the visual more presentable. This is important because, at the end of what you create, it can have a very positive impact on what is ultimately shared with the client.
Juraj Hajkovsky - PeerSpot reviewer
Given its efficiency in managing large projects, I did not hesitate to purchase the license
I would like to see enhancements in Miro, especially when working with tables like Excel. Adding more copying, pasting, and formatting functions within tables would be helpful. Additionally, I wish for better picture editing capabilities, such as cropping and changing colours. So far, I haven't encountered any significant limitations while using Miro. Miro can be slow with other online meeting tools like Zoom or Microsoft Teams. Also, other platforms like Microsoft Teams might be more suitable for managing many files and ensuring team access. Miro could improve for complex tasks like dynamic object connections, but these are minor cons compared to its benefits.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I like the fact that Lucidspark has got all these templates that we can use."
"The virtual whiteboard is also absolutely fantastic. It has streamlined all of those aspects that we would have done via PowerPoints and other types of on-the-fly screen sharing that were used in the past. Now, everyone can be in the same space. That part of it really helps us to feel confident and allows us to be more engaged with the client and vice-versa, with the client being engaged with us."
"The most valuable feature is the live, interactive whiteboarding. For brainstorming high-level ideas and concepts it's like Visio but much better, because it's online. Collaboration for process is much easier."
"My workshops have seen a much higher engagement. In the past, maybe ten or twenty percent of my clients would normally participate. With Lucidspark being involved, I see almost 90% engagement of everyone in the room, because they're required to add something."
"I am a visual person, which is why I like Lucidspark. Its user interface and intuitiveness are pretty good. It is pretty intuitive to understand how we are moving forward and drawing things on the whiteboard. It's very simple, not complicated. The things that I use are mainly the post-it notes and containers, where I can grab a group of post-it notes, then put them in a container and move them around."
"I have really enjoyed Lucidspark's virtual whiteboard. It is a big step up from some of the other tools that I have used... I appreciate the robustness of Lucidspark quite a bit. It adds a lot more functionality when it comes to multiple participants, and I really appreciate that it is an expanding canvas. The limited size and shape of something like a Jamboard is not conducive to new ideas expanding, going further."
"The fact that you can have multiple users working at the same time is a really big plus. The fact that we can all collaborate in real-time is a very useful aspect."
"Lucidspark has done an incredibly good job of providing a very robust library of templates. I'd like to see more of those. But right now there are many more useful templates than anything I've seen with any other similar apps. Hats off to Lucid for that."
"As a consultant managing multiple projects, I find Miro's collaboration features highly beneficial."
"Miro significantly enhances brainstorming sessions."
"Integrations with so many other tools make this platform highly useful."
"Online Collaboration made it easy to brainstorm."
"It is a versatile tool suitable for various tasks, including process modeling."
"Miro's flexibility is a main feature. It provides boards where I can put whatever is needed without limits."
"The product's initial setup phase is simple and straightforward."
"The solution's UI is very user-friendly, and it is not that hard to define the shapes you are looking for or to import them."
 

Cons

"Using my iPad, it seems clunky and isn't as responsive as my PC."
"There's a little bit of latency with the collaboration bit. Overall it's not quite as fast as Google docs, however, it's really close."
"It would be really helpful if more features and templates would be added to the product."
"Some parts where the arrows flow tend to flow in a strange direction where you want to drag it to, and it requires a lot of adjusting here and there. It's just the flow of the arrow sometimes it gets a little tricky, and then when you move something else, it gets wonky, and then you have to go back and fix it up. That's the only thing that needs improvement."
"One thing I wish it had is, if I draw a square or a rectangle freehand, that it would actually just draw a nice rectangle; or similarly with a circle. Some sort of automatic shape recognition and formatting would be helpful."
"One thing that I actually found difficult to do was to introduce video calls. Managing calls and the whiteboards and being all remote is difficult."
"Depending on how much Lucidspark wants to emulate a true whiteboard experience, there could be other ways to do things. For instance, we have to create the container when we do it. In a typical sort of whiteboard situation, it could be helpful if there were templated containers, like a parking lot, where someone could just click, then it would show up. Most people with a whiteboard process have something like this, but we do it ourselves."
"There is room for improvement with the user interface. It almost feels "uncooked." It sometimes feels like a prototype rather than the real thing."
"It should have a desktop version."
"The solution could be available on mobile."
"The text customization inside objects needs some enhancement, especially for the text written in rectangle shapes."
"Maybe at some point, Miro should be able to use AI to provide analysis from the brainstorming sessions or files fed into it."
"I don't see the need to have updates in the product every other month or every other day."
"When I imported an image to Miro, my friend saw it differently from what I saw when I changed the size of it."
"The product subscription is very expensive. The pricing could be better."
"I would like to see enhancements in Miro, especially when working with tables like Excel."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"One must pay extra if he wishes to have a higher level product."
"It would be better if I didn't use Lucidspark at all and just used Illustrator and Photoshop, but it doesn't make sense for my projects to do that. It would remove a tremendous amount of steps, but it would cost a tremendous amount of money."
"I know that to get 10 seats for Spark is $2000 a year, which struck me as a little high."
"It's a very reasonable $8 a month. That makes it really accessible and helps it fill a pretty significant need for virtual collaboration. Just about every leadership team member that I've talked to said, 'Oh, well, that's cheap, just go buy it.'"
"The licensing is a fair price. We mainly have single users. We chose not to do the team user because of the cost. We didn't see a need for that at this point. We have talked to Lucidchart and Lucidspark salesmen often about that."
"I personally had a hard time getting the licenses sorted out. In the organizational license, the whole process took a lot of time. Personally, I feel that the licensing could be done much better on that front."
"I was using the web version. I don't know what I signed up for, but I don't think I paid anything. It was just free."
"The pricing is very reasonable. It is more expensive than some of the free options out there but much cheaper than Visio, and it works much better."
"The product's price is low. Monthly and yearly subscriptions are available when it comes to the licensing part of the product."
"The initial cost of Miro was a bit high for me as a small company. However, considering its many benefits and the number of projects I have, it's reasonable and worth the investment."
"The product costs approximately $300 per user."
