Brilliant for collaborative work
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to instantly collaborate on a document at the same time as others being in different places.
The articles with updates of new features.

What do you dislike about the product?
It took a while to be able to access Miro on my work computer (not Miro's fault) due to my work security and I had to use my own computer, making it unnecessarily complicated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anything and everything, from project management; to journey mapping; to feedback log and Lean UX canvas.

I used Miro since it was named Realtime Board, happy with it since then.
What do you like best about the product?
When I found about the tool years ago, for me, the most crucial part was to bring and store digitally all workshops that I was conducting in a physical environment, so all those stickies that were placed all over the wall could be revisited in the future so it wasn't a matter of a fun day exploring or an ideation session, but I could use them to share the knowledge and decisions taken that day and revisit whenever was needed.
Nowadays, for me, the best is the collaborative way of working in Miro and also the fact that you can align with multiple stakeholders over the same board without being in the same room.

What do you dislike about the product?
The different projects are stored because, by default, they all go to the dashboard in an immense list. I know now you can create projects but still...
I would improve the way of importing screenshots from Figma to Miro. Sometimes annotations get mixed between the actual "Comments' functionality, and some other participants make comments directly on a sticky, which makes the communication to be held in different channels within the same tool and also normally, the comments on stickies usually are more taken into account, and the ones under the comments functionality go unnoticed

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Remote workshops, aligned with Developers and product teams. It helps us (UX designers) to be involved during the decision making and ideation together with the rest of the stakeholders and we sometimes create wireframes quickly at the moment of ideation so stakeholders can have more visual ideas
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Long time user, and it has done nothing but improve
Intuitive collaboration boards
What do you like best about the product?
I like how intuitive all functionalities are and the abundance of activities you can do in the software. Most of all I like the process of creating mockups for designers. Previously I was creating content in Google doc but it was harder to add ideas about the layout and creative elements. Now, I could easily show all my ideas on a whiteboard. It is a must-have software during lockdowns and times of remote work.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are so many possibilities with Miro that I feel overwhelmed sometimes. But this isn't a bad thing after all.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We could plan our campaigns, create a mockup of website pages, brainstorm, and take notes together with my team all in one tool.
Using Miro for design projects
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to collaborate with multiple teammates. I can see their comments, edits, etc and vise versa. I also love all of the pre-made templates they have to offer. They have made my miro boards so much more organized, this is my favorite feature!
What do you dislike about the product?
It's difficult to remember what changes I made the last time I edited a project, so it would be nice to be able to see exactly where in the board I was editing automatically.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Collaborating with team members
- Organized way to keep all project components in one place
- Building my own templates and using the premade ones makes for a faster workflow
- Keeping notes organized

MIro is THE collaboration for technical teams in the new WFH and offshore era
What do you like best about the product?
Miro's workspace is infinite. It has every type of template for mapping, ideation, notes, diagramming, etc., AND, best of all, the arrow connectors work between every type of diagram - genius. As soon as we get approval to move to the corp plan, we're looking forward to integrating with Jira - I've always disliked Jira for its poor handling of diagrams and sketches. Now we will be able to move the requirements out to Mira and track the stories in Jira. The Mira 3 boards trial has made it possible for us to work with the tool extensively, including testing Teams integration, Kanban, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
It seems to be missing some generic icons for networking and apps such as servers, switches, and databases (yes, there are various packages for Cisco, AWS, Azure, etc., just no generics.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before I was always creating maps and diagrams on my Mac during calls with my offshore team - the problem was I'm the only Mac user - so no one else could interact. There are no Windows tools that work as fast as Mac tools in this space (i have both machines for work). Now my entire team can create and collaborate visually as well as create reference documents that are more easily accessible than Sharepoint
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are a lot of collaboration tools available. If you and your team think & communicate visually, have both logical and abstract thoughts, or handing off to different timezones, as my teams do....this is it. For us, having Jira integration wasn't a must, but it was the icing on the cake. The template options are expansive AND very useful. We can go from a brainstorm concept to something valuable in a matter of mins compared to using a whiteboard option or powerpoint.
Best collaborative tool for a team size anywhere from 2-1000
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to collaborate in live and also able to view what participants are doing are helpful. Miro is found to be easier than Figma. Inititally, we used Figma for collaborating and commenting on the work. Miro has mindmap templates and easy to write sticky notes which is saving a lot of time. Change of sticky notes with the text size is my favourite feature in miro
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like to have the list of changes made by each participant. It is difficult to distinguish the individual work when there's large group of team. Version history would be very helpful
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Miro for primary research purpose. Very helpful to collaborate among all the stakeholders
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I suggested several people to Miro and now they really loved it. I saw people transitioning from Figma to Miro
Collaboration in Miro rocks
What do you like best about the product?
It helps me to collaborate with my team and visualize all the data we keep in documents and spreadsheets making it easier to read and follow. During the pandemic, Miro is the best tool for us to have online events where we share our knowledge and teach other in the design department.
Also, I like the way it ease of visual editing of work staff

What do you dislike about the product?
I miss layers as Sketch and Figma have. because when I build a scheme or flow I need to color different parts of it and now it takes some extra clicks to move layers around and put content on the background.
Also, it is hard to organize demo mode because a lot of people do not get how it works and you as a moderator need to share your screen and nobody sees the content of because of poor connection or bad resolution.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- I use it as a quick way to show what I want to change in different pages design
- we use it as a virtual desk for workshops when we breakout into groups and have a similar experience as we have had IRL
- I love templates even if I do not use them as they are because they teach me and inspire me about visualization. it would be nice to have a library of flows and schemes from people in other companies.

What do you dislike about the product?
searching for the different shapes is hard if you don't know what you're looking for
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used MIRO as a brainstorming tool to understand which audience data strategy's we should be using at each stage of the consumer journey. I work at a media agency, but we partnered with our client who was also able to log in.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Perfect for lockdown brainstorming sessions
Collaborate on almost anything
What do you like best about the product?
The sheer number of possibilities of what Miro can be used for and the ability to collaborate efficiently in real-time on any of them. it’s one of those tools where you are unsure how you managed without it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the output cannot be controlled visually and you are reliant on the objects in their toolset. If you are a control freak then you may not like the fact you are reliant on the shapes, fonts and colours that are pre-built into the app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Miro for so many things it’s impossible to list them but here are some examples:
Design thinking workshop collaboration
Service blueprint visualisation
Documentation for wireframes and UI design
User flows, screen flows, process flows (so many flows)

Recommendations to others considering the product:
You may need to reconsider how you work and allow yourself to give in to the collaborative tools here instead of relying on old individual ways of working. There are tools that do some of what is available in Miro but there are very few tools that do everyhing.
Best Collaborative Whiteboard
What do you like best about the product?
Platform's flexibility, stability, and responsiveness
What do you dislike about the product?
No Marquee selection so selecting multiple objects have to be done with a Shift+Click method. Also, I'd really like a plugin with Zoom and the SAP Litmos LMS.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy pre-set whiteboards to provide what paper on walls gave from In-person classes for the required virtual classes
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make backup copies of your boards so you can easily re-use them. Lock down background objects on the board to prevent users from accidentally moving or changing them..
