Miro is great for getting things out of your head and in front of your eyes.
What do you like best about the product?
I love the free format of Miro, and how intuitive it is, Miro just gets out of your way and lets you work. I can be as chaotic or as organized with my ideas as I need.
However, when you need to organize and collaborate your ideas better Miro has tons of templates to choose from that you can also be changed on the fly to fit your needs.

What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like how Miro askes me how much I like a template before I even have the opportunity to use it. I would also like to see the ability to control shapes and not be limited to the ones given to us. I would also like to create my own vector shapes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I run problem-solving workshops remotely through Miro. I have helped startups visualized and optimize their workflows in real-time with Miro. The benefit of having a tool to help others visualize their problems and solutions quickly is a huge help.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is great for getting and sharing all your ideas on the most unrestrictive platform ever.
Great tool for remote collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Real-time updates of where people are on the board. Plug ins to connect Jira and Trello so we don't duplicate writing content in multiple places.
What do you dislike about the product?
Could be better at handling images. It's vital for me and my project to have screenshots of our designs on the board to annotate and create journeys and maps. If Miro could somehow compress the image going in to help with performance, that would be incredible. My board has over 300 screenshots on and it's vital for the entire team to work and access this. Many of my peers have older work equipment and slows their machines down considerably. More typography choices and sizing options would be great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're solving the issue of collaborating in big teams while all working from home. Having a real time tool which is as lightweight as Miro makes participation more accessible.
Very useful tool for online collaboration and facilitation
What do you like best about the product?
I like the endless board the most, allowing my team and myself to span around complex projects. Miro helps us to visualize the steps of our endeavors, showing insight into different challenges and goals. The powerful visualization tools help me coordinate team efforts in my projects. I also really like tre "frames" option, when I lock them they provide a good structure to work on.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have purchased a "team" subscription plan, as I facilitate a team of two startup owners, plus their advisors. This plan is limited as it asks me to purchase additional licenses for everybody who wants to do more than comment on the board. Additionally, I've just seen that they now sell "$10 per member/month billed monthly", while I was charged 15$ just two weeks ago per member in this plan.
Also, I am not a big fan of constant reminders that something is new and that I should try it out every now and then.
Also, Miro does have a certain learning curve that should be follwed.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've solved problems regarding visualization and coordination of project steps in my ongoing projects. Miro is mostly beneficial for online work and remote work.
In these times it is hard to collaborate while staying at home, and Miro really helps my clients and myself to get to the goals fast and with substantial motivation.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
It would help if you tried it out. It does make a difference.
Great collaboration tool! especially in current times
What do you like best about the product?
I love that it is a real-time whiteboard tool that I can share with everyone on my team. We use Miro to map out plans for our projects, track progress, generate solutions and ideas with stakeholders, and visualize concepts. It is essential to me in my current role as a Product Manager, and I would recommend it to anyone that works with a remote team.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were more integrations. I use JIRA for managing work with my team but would like to use one tool and have it reflect in the other. I would also like to see more templates that are maybe community-generated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communication. The tool allows me to communicate with a remote team about plans and ideate solutions with them. Stakeholders also use the tool to get updates from the product team as we use it for all our planning
It got everything I got for the workshops with my clients. I try to do sone Design Sprint excercise
What do you like best about the product?
Its SUPER EASY to understand in just 2 minutes. Super intuitive for my clients to start using it. That a really plus for me. Also, there is no need for login, in 2 clicks my clients can be using Miro and in 2 minutes they are already experts
I can draw in a beautiful way all my thoughts and ideas and share it with people in my company or with clients. Visually is awesome. The era of powerpoint is over for me

What do you dislike about the product?
Its not very personalized and informal. That what I like about figjam, the got some cool themes, stickers, ways to use a sticky notes. Thats a +1 in the delightfulness of the product. In conclusion, Figjam is fun to use and Miro is only super useful
Also i dont like the lack of "emojiness" of the platform. In workshops I need to maintain people entertain, so I need resources for that, if the platform is too serious, people might get bored.
Maybe an Product Tour Onboarding might be super useful for any guest that enter my boards. Right now I have to add an personal onboarding chart to make them use miro before the workshop but that can be automated by the platform itself.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Design problems Its super useful for documentig in a visual way results and findings. I facilitate workshops and, contrary to a physical workshop, a remote one in Miro got everything documented. Also, people are tire of looking at powerpoints slides, Miro is a great visual change for my audience in terms of presentation
For example: I been working projects like "how to increase the digital usage of a product" or "how can be improved the customer experiencia in gas station". And in my boarda I add dashboards, study results, customer Journey Maps and much more
Right now Im working in the design of a new app for the medical field. A real challenge, but using tools like miro my clients trust that I know what Im doing

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I always make them do a couple of simple excercise just to know the basic of the platform and get ready to go
It helped us a lot with User Research and UX as a remote team
What do you like best about the product?
How we can see each other mouse, that combined with all the features that can be integrated like timing and videocall were very useful, for example, once we were on a video call. At the same time, we were sorting some ideas into clusters, and it was pretty helpful to see each other's mouse while we were on a call because we were able to work on areas where nobody was working on.
Another app I loved was the timer, once we were brainstorming ideas on specific problems, and it was beneficial to have a timer inside the board that everyone could see to limit the time we spend on each idea

What do you dislike about the product?
Once by mistake, I was trying to organize various items, and I select them with the mouse and pressed the bottom of group objects, then I needed to do something else, so I closed the tab, and the next day when I opened the project, everything was a mess, the group objects bottom had messed up everything, and sadly I couldn't undo the change
I tried looking at the history of the project just like I when I messed up something on google docs, I just go to the history and see the changes, see who made them and recover those changes if necessary. But when I looked over Miro I didn't found that

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In our team, we used Miro mainly for UX activities like grouping interview answers, organizing ideas in group sessions, brainstorming, commenting on flow diagrams
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I will recommend other people to use Miro but to be careful with grouping many items because that may mess up their board
Versatility in the space, to do things together.
What do you like best about the product?
I love being able to start from a blank slate to work collaboratively with a general perspective that encompasses everything and then propose a particular view on a sector. It is versatile because you can plan super organized and structured work or projects where freedom of expression is expressed 100% creatively. I started using the online app, but for projects that contain many images that slow down the handling of the board, I opted to download the app to the desktop with the executable, and you can notice the difference in some boards. On the other hand, during the class dynamics, the tools that allow you to bring others or everyone to a sector of the board that you want to show to highlight specific content are very useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
In the dynamics of the classes, it is necessary to have direct contact, and sometimes the chat is not enough, so I complement with the Zoom app to enhance communication in the classes, considering that I work in a secondary school. I think to complete a creative work, I would need a tool that allows me to draw with a self-correcting stroke within certain established parameters.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I started working by trying the free account and then switched to the Education account. I thought the transfer would be more cumbersome and tedious, but Miró contacted me and defined the transfer immediately.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend being clear about what we want to communicate or the objective to share. Discover all the available tools through prior testing.
It's flexible
What do you like best about the product?
Freedom that does not interfere with the process of thinking.
Functional upgrading speed is fine.
Functional upgrading speed is fine.
What do you dislike about the product?
The worst thing is that you can only have two levels of board and you can't categorize the board in your project. At least 3 levels are required.I've already told Miro about this, but it hasn't improved.
As the number of items increases, the operation of the PC becomes heavier.
I'm always confused by the optimal board magnification settings.
I don't know how much magnification I should start drawing to make it easier to handle even if the picture gets bigger.
Text fields can behave strangely when filled with a lot of text.

・ For personal work to analyze my problems
・ For remote work when analyzing research results with team members
・ Present the STORY to tell
Story presentation needs frequent zoom-in and out during the speech. I usually utilize 'prezi' as my presentation tool; however, it is only for presentation. I can use Miro as an analyzing tool, too.

It's so easy to use. I think it's a friendly tool to get started.
We also believe that the features are frequently updated so that we can improve them together.
You can use it individually or as a team.

A beautiful and intuitive way to co-create with co-workers
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is a straightforward and intuitive tool to use. I use it almost every day, and it's such a beautiful tool to build workflows and wireframes, have co-create sessions/workshops, gather visual references, and develop roadmaps. I love the pre-filled templates, especially the "Customer Journey Map (Timeline)", "Mindmap", "Kanban Framework" and "Product Roadmap" ones. They save you a lot of time - especially if you're not artistically gifted.
My designer teammates also love to use Miro! I love populating the abord along with my Product Designer. It replicates the feeling of writing on a whiteboard with other people (which has not happened since the beginning of the pandemic). It's an excellent tool for teams that work remotely or asynchronously.

What do you dislike about the product?
Miro can get very slow and "stucky" when you fill the board with lots of photos and heavy components. It can be tricky to share the screen in workshops and video conferences, for example.
Another downside is the cost. Miro can be very expensive if you intend to use it with your whole team. I work as a Product Manager, and only the design team (around ten people) and I have access to Miro. Even so, it's quite pricey - especially since I'm from Brazil and our local currency is significantly devalued against the dollar.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a Product Manager, I usually start my projects on a Miro board and keep adding information until it's ready to launch. It helps me to gather all the project's relevant information (doubts, hypotheses, solutions) in a single place.
I also use Confluence for documentation and Figma com wireframing.

My favourite design tool. Ever.
What do you like best about the product?
MIRO is a fast, capable and easy to use.
I started using MIRO to work with a colleague on our desing projects when the pandemic started and will neve rgo back to someof my old tools. I design hardware and software usign a LOT of differnt tools but MIRO is the dynamic tool I need to collaborate and share DESIGN THINKING. It combines dynamic, collaboartive whiteboarding (and video, voice, and chat!) and comes with built in tempaltes that support a lot of fundamnetal Desing Thikign, Strategyzer, and UX technoques. It's great for presenting too. The paltform is desinged to scale for teams and has great user and account managment tools. Guests can be invited to any baord for comment dn even to edit on the Consultant plan.
You can do just about anything in MIRO. And there are lots of post-it notes.

What do you dislike about the product?
Support is generally pretty good.
Some of my boards do not save to PDF correctly due to size.
I'd love to see some more robust hyperlinking between boards and the introduction of reusable components to speed wireframing.

Primairly we use MIRO to capture and communicate our THINKING.
Using boards for this has mad eit easy to work remotely with others and to get team input on projects.
