Great collaboration tool for small teams - especially whilst remote.
What do you like best about the product?
A tonne of new features added (some more useful than others!) and some great templates and interaction. It feels like a great pace of development with thoughtful additions to enhance collaboration. If you love a whiteboard, get Miro - it's the modern day equivalent.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some features feel a bit "bloaty" and I don't know if they're all necessary. I think Miro are aware they are building for a broad range of users - there is a risk it just becomes too complex for the average user.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Brainstorming, collaboration, workshops - it's great for all of these things. If you're making strategy decks in Google Slides or Keynote - STOP! Use Miro instead - it'll allow you to coalesce your thoughts and organise your information
Board your work at ease for seamless collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
- great variety of board options (data flow diagrams, mindmaps, org charts, selective matrix, structuring tables )

- overall UI/UX (nice color combinations and intuitive design)
- different gestures depending on the input types
- almost all platforms and devices support

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- workflow visualization
- it's a short and simple solution for presenting the complicated schemes over the ppt way
- sessions, user group meetings, lean coffees, and storyboarding going better on Google Meet call
(it's easy to a present and a lot of people staring at a screen.
- keeps people focused on the problem at hand
- organize the collaborative multitasking
( most of the team would like to play a part and be engaged in the process of ideas generating, screening and decision making)

An absolute must in your toolbox
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to set up and facilitate workshops. Miro is also very useful to secure ideas and work them out. What I love the most, is that you can create boards with all kinds of inspiration, canvases, plans of action, and so on, and share it with others.
What do you dislike about the product?
Folders don't have a link (you can't link to folders) and you can't add (little) text documents.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organize workshops and secure ideas. For this last one, the ideas, the benefit is that you can place images, video's, PDF, bookmarkts and ideas on post-its all toghether. Too bad there is not a really good way to stoer advanced notes (for documentation).

It won't let your MacBook run wild (CPU and its cooling fans)
Great experience while collaborating within the team
What do you like best about the product?
1. I leverage Miro's pre-built template and drive inspiration to build my reusable templates.
2.Miro has a very intuitive, User Friendly UI/UX. This makes onboarding " a walk in the park," and one can start leveraging the collaboration benefits in no time.
3. There are different User experiences optimized with other gestures. A touchscreen will have different UX vs if u use a mouse or a touchpad, the tool will self adjust
4. Multiple users can work on the same board without much governance still the whole collaboration is very smooth
5. Everybody is used to physical interaction and whiteboarding. Now that it is almost impossible, Miro saves the day.

What do you dislike about the product?
A. There are suttle differences in the way once can access the tool in browser vs app. This causes user experience issues. I get confused when some of the shortcuts in the browser works differently in the app.
B. I think Miro is best used in a laptop, i feel constrained when using it in Mobile

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend Miro for the structuring of thought and collaborative planning. It is an ideal scenario if the organization uses the tool with a premium license. However, I recommend this took irrespective of the organizational dependency.
Freemium version can get u started pretty quickly, and the tool has enough potential to be converted into an enterprise-level tool

Online collaboration even at a distance
What do you like best about the product?
There is a huge range of uses and tools for miro. I use it when trying to think through service and system designs on my own with post-it-notes, and lines, and creating blueprints. But I also use it to facilitate meetings and online collaborative working, either using the templates in Miro or creating my own template and using colour coded post-it-notes to track each of the contributor's activities. It's about as close as you can get to moving a physical whiteboard into an intuitive online space, in some ways better (there is less cleaning to be done and it's easier to save).
What do you dislike about the product?
- Contacting support can be a bit of a challenge if something goes wrong
- It's not always easy to share boards if you are not an admin
- I'd like more shapes to choose from (with inline arrows a particular request)
- the tables can not be extended into as many cells long as I would like for a good service blueprint

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am usually trying to think through new services or systems and how to ensure that a team of people is collaborating on them effectively. Miro helps by offering participants different ways to vote, embedded timers to create time-bound activities. As an admin its relatively easy to mix levels of access and visibility participants have to different parts of the workshop.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's the best virtual whiteboard I have used to date. It's worth trying if you need a virtual collaborative environment.
Amazing tool for collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Miro helped me during the lockdown to work collaboratively with the team, exactly like when we were in the office, and sometimes better. It is a fundamental tool in our workflow for brainstorming, decision making, and co-design activities. We often use Miro boards as addition specifications for sofware developers, both exported as images or PDF and directly linked into DevOps cards.
What do you dislike about the product?
It isn't easy to handle big groups of anonymous users. It happens a lot when we run a big workshop with persons external to our organization that aren't autonomous in exporting information and other activities. The voting system isn't so intuitive to use for first-comers. The wireframe library could be bigger, I usually prefer to sketch with shapes and text. Make it easier to draw lines.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Powerful whiteboard for co-design activities, both with designers and developers
- Make it easy to handle big meetings with a lot of essential stakeholders, making the conversation more structured and easy to manage
- Perfect to collect inspirational material for market analysis, user testing, and UX design

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use a lot the guest access to make it every day in the organization to see Miro boards, and it can be not easy to understand the concept if you never used collaborative whiteboards.
World class collaboration & ideation tool
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use. The UI is extremely easy accessible, and makes it really easy for people who are less tech-savvy to contribute to Miro boards
What do you dislike about the product?
As much as we'd like to, I'll never get away from needing to create powerpoints. Exporting frames into a more PPT friendly format would be good.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Brainstorming with less words. It's helping us to become more visual & tap into that creative side of our brains!
Miro is also helping us move away from traditional documentation methods for internal uses where straight to the point visual boards do the trick

Miro is a great tool for collaboration and ideation
What do you like best about the product?
I can use it for facilitating workshops and the tools for collaboration are very versatile. Also, I'm happy with the AI integration that allow us to cluster concepts by keywords. It's quite good not only for facilitation but for organising other type of data like verbatims from interviews.
Besides of collaoration, I use it for solo ideation when kickstarting projects and for mindmapping.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I have to facilitate workshops where not everyone has access to the tool, and it's quite challenging for them to just to use the comment feature. The basic mode could have some sort of integration for this cases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm a very visual person so it's a great way to display all data and how each concept relates with each other. It helps me a lot also to put together different elements (benchmark, wireframes, visual data) to show a bigger concept to different stakeholders, and to have them in the same space to make a workshop together.
The IA feature helps me organize data by key concepts easily.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend it to cross-functional teams, especially if they involve designers and other stakeholders, also to conduct workshops.
Amazing product, just one thing holding me back from giving a 10!
What do you like best about the product?
Amazing interface, real attention to detail we are now using it really extensively within our business - definitely an improvement vs physical post it exercises
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the search functionality is only available for Enterprise packages, but Enterprise packages don't make sense for smaller teams <50, so we've no way to access that enhanced functionality which is really frustrating, especially when you do a search and it tells you there are 8 results on boards but you have to upgrade to see where they are :( This is the only thing holding me back from giving a 10
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Remote working collaboration internally and externally
The best free virtual board application
What do you like best about the product?
The customization of the board is quite advanced. You can do everything you would do with a physical board.
Everything is editable in real time with other users.
The app is very user-friendly. You can start to use it without any indications.
Navigation inside a giant board is relatively easy thanks to the map and the fact you can follow other user's cursors.
The app is web-based so that you can use it from any device.
It depends on the usage you want, but the free version might be enough for your company. We use it mostly to share our scrum board, and so one board is enough.

What do you dislike about the product?
I don't see a downside. You can remove the things you don't like or don't use them.
I don't like to see the collaborators' cursors, especially when we are more than ten currently using the board, but you can hide them.
The locking system can be frustrating if someone selects a card and you can't edit it or move it, you have to ask that user to unlock it himself.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With the corona crisis, we needed an online tool to be able to do our scrum board still. In the end, it means less paper and easy accessibility.
Now we also use it in meetings for brainstorming and surveys.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is free as long as you use only three boards. You can use it for your daily scrum, but if you want more, you'll have to pay.
