Shared whiteboard tool on steroids
What do you like best about the product?
In some ways, Miro enables workshops even better than a physical whiteboard. No need to clean up after you've finished, or make sure you've remembered enough pens and sticky notes. You can make the space as expansive as you like and return to it whenever you feel like it. Once everyone has connected, collaboration works very smoothly. It also allows you to create very slick-looking visuals like flowcharts and system diagrams. And the built-in mind mapper tool is helpful as well. Overall, I like the level of flexibility that it provides - you can use whatever visual language you want - while making it easy to perform common tasks like adding arrows between entities and writing sticky notes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Getting everyone up and running on a new board can take some planning unless you want to spend the first 10 minutes of a meeting ensuring that everyone has edit permission. While Miro is easy to use once you're familiar with it, there is a bit of a learning curve when you're getting started. It would be great to reduce the number of popups and feature announcements, or at least suppress them until you're ready to look at them. Usually, when I'm opening a board, I'm trying to get something done, so I will dismiss any popups without bothering to work out if they're useful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Running and participating in workshops with teammates who are all working from home.
Developing product and technology roadmaps, for presentation within and across multiple teams.
Clarifying my own thought processes by writing things out and visualising them.
Creating diagrams to embed in blog posts and presentations.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Compare the features of Miro against other tools that you're using, and consider how Miro offers the benefits of multiple tools in one package. Consider how frequently you would benefit from a multi-user shared whiteboard.
Best Tool for Workshopping
What do you like best about the product?
I love using Miro for all my stakeholder workshops; it is simple to use with many great templates in Miroverse. It has made our virtual experiences so much easier, especially throughout Covid.
What do you dislike about the product?
At this point, there is nothing immediate that comes to mind. The Miro product team is always making updates and constantly improving my experience with the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro has given me the ability to translate things that we used to do in person virtually in a seamless manner. It has made it easier to engage teams across the globe and document everything digitally without going back and documenting everything afterward. It is perfect for collaboration between teams and stakeholders.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly recommend this tool over some of the other whiteboarding tools out there. I have had an opportunity to use various tools in my career, and Miro is by far my favorite.

Online collaboration tool that isn't boring

As a UX designer, it makes collaboration and research synthesizing relatively easy. Easy to create and show the work/effort that goes into grouping insights to clients.
What do you dislike about the product?
Though it doesn't happen often, it can slow down a bit depending on how many post-it notes you might have on a board or the laptop/computer I'm on.
Trying to copy and paste more than 50 items from a spread sheet would be helpful as well.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Better to try and see how it fits with your work requirements. But it's a straightforward program to use and a great place to do a mind dump before refining ideas and parking ideas aside.

What do you dislike about the product?
Opaque assignment of roles

Miro is a fantastic all around canvas tool
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is a fantastic all-around tool. As a white canvas, it has all of the standard tools and many more templates that help you get work done. And it also packs a bundle of other features making it a one-stop-shop for collaboration, from internal chat and videoconference to voting.
What do you dislike about the product?
Miro can get slow if you have a not ideal internet connection or working with big files. Managing files with many assets can be challenging, and some scaling/grouping features have a high learning curve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a product designer, miro helps me from research to the initial steps of designing. It is a fantastic tool to compile data while discovering; it is flexible to suit the building of flows and diagrams and robust for initial wireframing or sketches
Miro has helped me and our team to adapt to hybrid working in a creative and collaborative way.
What do you like best about the product?
Miro helps us replicate the collaborative workshops we used to have in our physical office, but now working from our home environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be good to have improved backups or version history so that if a user who is unfamiliar with the product accidentally deletes or moves something, it's more easily reversible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are more collaborative in our approach to work now, sketching out our working processes and designs which has encouraged discussion and design iteration.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure to try the free templates provided; these will give you a good starting point for collaborative working.
Miro - interactive diagram creation bliss
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to use drag and drop creation of diagrams with easily accessible shapes - Excellent Templates - and well-thought-out visual controls. The navigation pane at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen is genius. Ability to choose what an invited person sees upon first view is also very useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Very limited number of shapes on the left pane. No bullet points in sticky notes (that I can find anyway) - As I use the sticky notes for collaborative work I think it would benefit bullet points (numbered and bulleted) available in the sticky notes
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problems solved -
Easy collaborative Jam sessions during working remote meetings
Navigation - It is much easier to navigate around a sprawling diagram than other similar products
