Collaboration has needed richer AI retrospectives but has already transformed remote brainstorming
Miro Business - Enterprise provides multiple valuable features. My first favorite feature is the Infinite Canvas feature, which is exceptional. Second, the SSO (Single Sign-On) feature allows direct login via our internal tools. We use Auth0 in our organization, and it integrates seamlessly, saving us 40 to 50% of time on signing up into the organization after they log in. The software is highly communicable, and the AI features and template library are very advanced. The AI-powered tools for brainstorming and cluster ideating are game changers for our organization and give us an edge over other products in the industry. These features have helped us become more collaborative in the organization. Collaboration has increased by 50 to 60%, as Miro Business - Enterprise has given us a space for brainstorming and ideas on a whiteboard. This represents our first ROI. We have also experienced good facilitation that fosters a collaborative environment, with decreased costs compared to other solutions. Since we obtained it from the AWS Marketplace, we received a favorable cost with a 38% discount, making cost not an issue. Miro Business - Enterprise has demonstrated good scalability, and we have observed that project delivery has been impacted positively due to better collaboration and visibility of boards, increasing project predictability by 68% and deliverability by 70 to 78%.
