Using Miro as an Educator and School by S.Kim
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy that Miro allows for real live-time collaboration and updates for team use. It has been very useful during meetings when people need to brainstorm in real-time and can follow along on one Miro board.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the left sidebar can get a bit tricky because there are so many options and buttons. I think it would be useful if Miro could simplify this left sidebar option. The Zoom In/Out function can also sometimes be fuzzy. Additionally, when uploading photos, sometimes they appear fuzzy and it requires refreshing/zooming in for the photo to load at its fullest/highest quality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've been using Miro for a lot of visual collaboration especially now with COVID. Through the Educator function, I am able to make and create a Miro board that anyone is able to join/collaborate with, without the hassle of having people make accounts (aka the Anonymous Guest feature). I also use it for my club organization brainstorming sessions and it is nice because in person we would usually brainstorm using a whiteboard but cannot do that anymore, so Miro is an excellent alternative.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend people to consider investing in an Education plan if they are planning on using Miro for brainstorming and/or education. I think students have a lot of fun with the collaborative features of Miro and it makes for an alternative experience that was been altered by COVID. Students enjoy having something to visualize and it's difficult to completely replace that with something virtual, but Miro does a great job of that "whiteboard" lesson feeling that I think everyone could benefit from.
Miro lives up to the Online Visual Collaboration Platform for Teamwork and may more use cases
What do you like best about the product?
I love the existing templates and the descriptions that come with the templates which makes it easier to create effective boards for any audience, team or user. I also love the avatar follow feature, whenever is someone is interacting on the miro board if others click on the main person the screen moves along with main user interaction.
What do you dislike about the product?
The process of sharing isn't so intuitive and easy to do compared to creately, mural, canva and similar apps. I think if sharing is made easier for people outside a team to collaborate and leave comments will be a huge benefit. I also think the export process can be improved too so that user can get the best quality out of their boards shared to guests, maybe a description of the sharing formats and what they're best used for will be most impactful. I understand Miro works best within Miro but even an option where you can save a frame as a high-quality PowerPoint will be great. Nevertheless, these dislikes are minor however should be looked at
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm solving a lot of problems with Miro from tackling users needs and problems to creating an end to end service map and diagrams. The benefits of Miro realized are truely invaluable making myself and my team save more time and also be more creative
Excellent tool for working collaboratively
What do you like best about the product?
It has very flexible tools and allows you to see what others are working on and what the latest modifications were that each person made in your absence. Another useful feature is that you can insert your own images and work on them. The design tool templates and their respective examples are very useful and allow for modifications. They can also be enriched with icons or post-its.
The initial tutorial to understand how to use the tool is of adequate length and, in general, the platform is quite intuitive to use.

What do you dislike about the product?
I think it wasn't very intuitive how to select many elements. Later I discovered that it was by combining drag click with shift. The other thing that was difficult for me was understanding the proportions of the elements on the board, for example, I put a box and when I start writing I realize it's huge because the text looks very small.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
During the pandemic, it was a challenge to reinvent team work dynamics. This platform helped us to plan and then develop complete projects. From the research stage to the stage of solution prototype proposals. This is possible because they have many different tools to insert on the board, and the size of this board is infinite. This allows all documents, ideas, information, and proposals to be in one place and fully accessible to the team.
Overall it's pretty good!
What do you like best about the product?
The real time co-working part, and the quick prototype part
What do you dislike about the product?
The format sometimes is hard to adjust when people are working together.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Group working project and brain storming
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I like the sticker notes, but try not to click around too much cause you might accidentally change something your teammates created..
Highly recommended
What do you like best about the product?
the way we can interact with colleagues is fluent and help a lot when you need collaboration in a virtual way of work
Templates are also useful
Templates are also useful
What do you dislike about the product?
Not dislike but I would like to have more tools in terms of ordering / sort the object in the boards, like adjust at the same size the notes, other objects etc for a better look, another thing is to have the same quality of templates we can see in the selector screen, it changes a lot between what I expected to see in the board.
Miro uses a lot of resources (memory) of the laptop, some times it difficults the interaction

Recommended tool for collaboration work
Miro is a great tool for collaborative way of working with teams
What do you like best about the product?
It provides flexibility and freedom to work with teams and have everything captured using this tool at one place. Also, I liked the option of voting out against the available sticky notes, it provides great value addition in saving time in taking decisions at team level.
What do you dislike about the product?
During initial phase, It takes little time to get used to it. It wasn't easy to resize the board, lock/unlock the frames and hence was causing some sort of irritation while using this tool. But with the time, when one is used to it then it's not a problem anymore.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Have a working meeting using this tool, make use of sticky notes and meeting notes. Voting option is also a great feature.
I was able to use it for retrospective meetings, taking actions out of the meeting and also for any brainstorming activity. We also use it for our regular meetings where we setup the agenda along with backlog and then we work towards those items using Miro tool. It's also integrated with Jira so it provided flexibility to put items on board.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I liked this tool after I started using it and I recommend it to other based on my personal experience. It's a great tool for online collaboration, working with Agile methodologies and have working meetings.
This tool can be used for not only regular meetings but even for other scrum ceremonies as it has voting options so we can use it for any brainstorming session as well.

A game changer with collaboration and paperless working
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is an endless canvas that never limits your workspace. This allows you to deal with large projects in one place with all the reference material close at hand.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much I dislike about Miro. The app has been a little slow at times, but that has improved lately.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working from home but still needing to collaborate is the biggest problem being solved. However, i also find Miro a great place to work on projects where all the documentation can be centralized in one place. Being focused on performance, there can be many sources of data. Before I would need to print out the different sources to allow me to work with all of them. With Miro I can put all the documentation on one board and then do the analysis and comparison.
Great tool for team collaboration and individual brainstorming
What do you like best about the product?
Love the ability to do live collaboration sessions. Love the ability to keep expanding the board, i.e. do a quick sticky note session then move straight into wire-framing in the same board. We use Miro both for live sessions, but also as an archive of past planning sessions.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost can add up if you need to bring in large numbers of outside contributors. But very cost efficient within our internal team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest problem we've solved with Miro is having our team collaborate in whiteboard sessions while working remotely. We haven't found another tool that comes as close to replicating the in-person whiteboard experience as Miro.
I also like using Miro for individual brainstorming/mind-mapping. Sometimes it is just easier to throw all the ideas in and be able to arrange and rearrange, vs. working in a doc on or paper.
We've also created a board with all of our website elements as blocks, so our team can use Miro to do quick wireframing sessions.
Overall, I would say that Miro has been one of two tools that have been most instrumental in our team making the switch to working remotely / partially remote.

Miro has enabled us to run remote brainstorming sessions, which is helpful during these times.
What do you like best about the product?
I like its real-time collaboration features. For instance, in our agile team, we can host our ceremonies on Miro (i.e. story-pointing exercises, kanban boards, etc.) I've also found it helpful for card sorting and design thinking sessions to gain insights on taxonomies and site navigation.
What do you dislike about the product?
In all honesty, there's little I dislike. There's a slight learning curve to using Miro if you haven't used it or similar applications before, but Miro does a good job of walking you through the interface and different functionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working with fully remote teams and getting stakeholder feedback and alignment when it comes to design direction can be challenging when only relying on video conferencing applications. With Miro, there's an interface where everyone actively participates, making it both practical and engaging.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I'd recommend exploring Miro and all it has to offer. There's a ton of stuff that can be really useful if you're aware of them beforehand.
Virtual facilitation without boundaries
What do you like best about the product?
The diverse range of shape tools, icon libraries, video embed options, presentation and facilitation functions make this such a versatile platform. The tool is deep for a workshop facilitator while also being simple enough for the basic first-time uses. The ability to share boards and create co-creation spaces has been a game-changer during COVID and fast-followers like Microsoft have a long way to come to cover this gap.
What do you dislike about the product?
On occasion, performance has been sluggish but this has been improved lately. The lack of public/annonymous boards was an issue before but is now made available. I look forward to the ability to force password use on public boards going forward as a company admin for cyber risk protection. Archiving and board organisation capabilities are limited. Slightly complicated enterprise pricing plan with lacking usage analytics tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Workshop facilitation was a real challenge before. Miro makes it possible to make space and visualise any conversation.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider how you will organise, distribute accountability for administration and archive your documentation as part of your roll-out plans. This has been something we have had to come back to retrospectively to ensure sustainability of our use of the platform.
