Elevate your white-boarding collaborative work experience
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is honestly the best virtual white-boarding and collaborative tool out there! The collaborative ability to brainstorm remotely but together and the features Miro has to allow our creativity to come out. While getting my coworkers started on Miro, they especially appreciated and were a fan of the helpful onboarding tips. Using the app, to them, felt intuitive. This made using Miro to showcase my research synthesis and working with my co-workers a lot easier - so thanks Miro for that!
What do you dislike about the product?
I would love to have an excellent way to organize boards or to have a visual way to label the boards. I'd need to click on the board itself to recall what the conten was in it.
There's a bit of a drawback with using the app itself because it lags when moving objects around. This makes myself as a user use the app a bit less efficiently.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A significant problem my team and I are solving with Miro is how we collaborate as a team. Working in a company remotely has had its challenges. Making an effort of how to improve our collaborative skills was essential to us. Miro's helped with getting on a call and start mapping and moving ideas around.
Synthesizing user research and visually putting data information to where I need/want to place them. It also helps to communicate the data I've gathered with my team. Doing this has improved the way we see and view data, and with that, we've enjoyed organizing our research findings.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great tool to allow for collaborative teamwork. There are templates to try out if you need help on coming up with a template.
A Solid Teaching Tool with Room for Improvement, even if you still use NPS ;)
What do you like best about the product?
I use Miro primarily as an online whiteboard for teaching and organizing my thoughts. I really appreciate its interactive teaching format, which is ideal for developing ideas with colleagues. Miro offers a shared space where participants can engage by moving sticky notes, sorting information, and working with templates, making collaborative work much smoother. I find it particularly user-friendly and straightforward; even a brief five-minute introduction helps others navigate it effectively. It's a clean, efficient online whiteboard that enhances collaboration significantly.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find it challenging to locate my boards within Miro, especially since I work on multiple projects across different accounts. It's often difficult to find the specific board I need, as the organization and visibility of my most important boards, or collections, don't always align with my needs. Some of the main collections or folders tend to become invisible for unexplained reasons, whereas others that I rarely use are easily accessible. Additionally, there used to be no way to search for boards across different accounts or folders. This lack of comprehensive search functionality is particularly frustrating, as it forces me to manually jump between accounts or folders to locate what I need. I wish there was a seamless way to search and access all my boards in one place, at least by title.

Miro, the way to go for better visual collaborations
What do you like best about the product?
What I like about using Miro is so that I can explore various tools for design thinking, planning, retros, ideations, etc and it gives me the freedom of creating what I want, how I want.
What do you dislike about the product?
My biggest issue with Miro is that when using Team accounts, I can not add people to my team as non-team users.
What I mean is, I would like to have a team account with x people but only 2-3 of us would actually create the boards while the other only have a view options of the dash board and access to the board that have share setting open.

Visualzation
While talking about stuff helps, having it visually represented ensures that all parties are on the same page

Great white boarding tool for remote collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to quickly visualize ideas through various ways (post-it notes, quick drawings, wireframing). This helps us create quick designs that further discussions. As we all are remote at this time, this is critical since we all can't stand next to a whiteboard. once we have an alignment in the team, we can use the same quick visuals to validate our ideas with customers.
What do you dislike about the product?
It has a lot of features, and I am just not aware of all the great features. As I was looking to find what I dislike, I noticed another feature I would benefit from using. Another potential problem (but I don't think that is Miro), is the single sign-on we have. any new user has to go through our IT team before they can start contributing. This causes issues if someone forgot to go through that step before a workshop.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am primarily using it for design definition work and aligning designers, product management, and engineering on the direction the design should take. By making it visual, we all can make sure we have a common understanding of what we think should be built and, easily address any differences in opinions. We also use those "crappy" designs to validate with customers we are on the right track before even starting to do any more detailed design.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I have used a few other whiteboard collaboration tools, but none of them have measured up to what Miro delivers.
Give Miro a try, it is very intuitive to get started with and also supports many different needs.

"Miro is like art for my business creativity"
What do you like best about the product?
It has been fantastic this past year for conducting high stakes “interactive” workshops that feel designed, in lieu of in-person workshops. The wide canvas allows you to creatively lay out content in any direction. The title of my review actually comes from a reply from @AssistanceHQ on a recent Twitter thread on great enterprise software UX.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's jarring to jump or zoom when presenting to others (kind of nauseating too). Setting up presentation mode is too burdensome, having to drag boards into the right order (prefer Figma approach where you can link up animations free style). Wish there was also a better, lightweight version (fewer bells and whistles) to share Miro boards with new, non logged in users when facilitating larger workshops with people who otherwise feel overwhelmed by all the features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solved a lot of problems around visual, unstructured conversations with my team during Work From Pandemic mode. Also helps create a visual artifact of your work to be able to go back and remember the chain of decision making.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great, reasonably priced choice for small teams. Easy to set up different project spaces for different clients when working in a consulting capacity.
Excellent for collaboration, and business visibility
What do you like best about the product?
Miro boasts a lot of great functionality that helps us host our collaborative UX workshops, with clients or internally. It's easy to get the non-tech-savvy users started with following you around the board, interacting with tasks, and contributing.
One of the major benefits for me as a workshop facilitator, is the Miro user community and Miroverse resource. It's really useful for learning about new techniques, activities, and board layouts from other users.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the features such as tables and text boxes can be clunky to format. There are also some issues around long-term sharing with clients, and I've not found a way to transfer ownership of boards to clients (especially if they don't have a premium Miro account). Still, these can be overcome with work-arounds such as exporting to image/pdf and hosting elsewhere. But on the whole, it's a great product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The big problem that Miro helps us solve is bringing stakeholders from different teams together to work on projects, create shared visions, and co-create to solve their problems.
It works with big or small teams collaborate across the product development board, from discovery, to user/customer research, page flows, basic wireframing, and also for presenting findings.

A perfect tool for collaborative teamwork
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is an endless board beneficial for meetings and keeping track of the work that everyone is doing on a specific project. It's easy to set up projects and use professional templates to improve its framework. There is a lot of more interaction and more valuable contributions when using its boards. Miro offers many different tools that boost our creativity in one single app.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the use of the mouse on the board can provoke some small mistakes when selecting or trying to move some elements. UX can be improved, but I'm sure that it's also important to get used to the tool to take advantage of all the possibilities it offers for teamwork. That will take us some time but I'm sure the reward will be worth it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We keep more focused on working on our projects with Miro boards. For us, using templates from the app or Miroverse is an excellent upgrade to our former way of approaching our processes of work. Miro helps our team to better understand what we do and how to improve it, showing all the information in a very visual way. What you see is what you get... and you see a full bunch of tools ready to use to make a difference with your work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If your try it, your team will simply love it. It will be a great tool to improve its performance and adopt strategies that make a difference. Miro has everything to become an essential platform for your team and boost the creativity and effectiveness of your employees work. Try its templates to better understand the possibilities of its endless boards. Your achievement of objectives will surely increase.
Collaboration nailed on - but great as your own workbook too
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is great to use as a collaboration tool - particularly with remote teams. However, I particularly like to use it as my own workbook - helping me explore ideas, validate thinking and work through things. The templates are so helpful for this - giving structure and an easy introduction to new business tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
The account management and working out what is private, what is shared, what board is on your account, or someone else's is not intuitive. There are guest passes, members, viewers, contributors. I've run into several problems around account management at two different organisations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. My own idea generation, gathering information like a scrapbook and then developing it with the tools and templates.
2. Sharing ideas, and conducting remote workshops with others - and using the templates to help with this

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it - and spend time exploring the templates and 'miroverse'. Make sure you spend a little time learning how they deal with user roles and visibility.
"Even better than on-site collaboration", said the client.
What do you like best about the product?
Miro gives all my meetings structure. Miro allows for real-time collaboration that is better than any on-site whiteboard experience. It's easy for newcomers and powerful for power users. Whether it's for workshops or to take meeting notes, my clients unanimously said they wanted to keep miro after the pandemic.
What do you dislike about the product?
Miro isn't the only tool available. Mural and Concept Board offer similar experiences. Miro probably has the most polished interface, but they are pretty much interchangeable. For a non-tech-savvy crowd without digital whiteboard experience, I'd probably opt for Google's Jamboards instead because it is less cluttered with functionality and allows for a more structured presentation. Additionally, rights management and EU-GDPR are not straightforward with Miro. Expect some effort if you introduce the tool to a big corporate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Since remote work has become the new normal, I use Miro for every meeting. Once things are written down, people can refer to it much more easily, and you can display the structure of thoughts as it emerges during the discussion.
You can mirror physical workshop spaces easily but also go beyond. It allows to show overarching context and introduces new ways of collaborating.
It's also an excellent tool to digitize the Obeya Room due to its flexibility and abundance of features.

Try the free tier. It is generally enough for the first couple of weeks. If you work in learning iterations, make it an experiement!
Quick, intuitive and creative collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
Most helpful for me is the possibility to visualize processes quickly. I can add specific colors, which fit our corporate identity. There are dozens of templates to use.
I can easily share the content and work with my colleagues on the boards, even if they are "just" guests.
I really like that the frames can be extended to any size, so it's great to fit also complex processes on the board. Having the board unlimited is a real bonus, as many frames as you like can be added and shifted around. With the presentation mode you can adapt the order of the frames during the presentation, still they stay the same order on the board, which I think is very helpful for presenting to different clients.

What do you dislike about the product?
Exporting content seems a bit tricky sometimes as it goes wrong or doesn't save. Unfortunately, you cannot export to PowerPoint which makes it complicated as I work with both of them and sometimes I need to re-do a layout as not everyone uses miro.
The zooming is a bit ennerving as it's sometimes to close or to far away or moves around.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's very adaptive, and there are a lot of quick tutorials. There are a lot of helpful integrations. For it's great to show processes and work together on the improvement.
The biggest problem I could solve was the limited space I had with other tools, that was a great improvement.
