Best cross team, cross-geo collab tool !
What do you like best about the product?
The simplicity of collab work via a uniquely simple interface, the safety of data, easy user management, integration with other UX related tools like Xd and Zeplin, easy to contact customer service, proactive support, and follow up
What do you dislike about the product?
Some times the tool is slower in performance, and the video call - collab options aren't yet up to the mark
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Across geo, a collaboration between product owners and UXers, development teams,, and businesses has enabled us to be more efficient. The information is accessible to all and can be shared between groups and even outside the company much more accessible than before
Amazing space to get stuff done
What do you like best about the product?
I like how endless it is, and you can keep going and going with canvas after canvas and send links to a particular canvas. It's super intuitive too. Canvases and features are essential and valuable, especially the Post and flow charts. What I dislike about it is the arrows when you join two boxes together, the arrow is too thin to see, and you should be able to change the thickness of it.
What do you dislike about the product?
I mentioned the arrows above and changing thickness. Another minor annoying thing that I would love a fix for is if you import ten images, and then you want to frame them (create a frame feature) you have to do it individually. So now what you have is the ability to place thirty or forty jpgs onto a single canvas and then outline them or frame them some way. This is currently not how it's achieved though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Given the fact that we operate our teams and work in a pandemic it has been an essential space for me to collect my thoughts and progress on a project. The feature that most benefits me is that Miro is one place to keep track of everything. This includes research like notes and things people say, the process of the design, capturing the collaborative comments from others on the team, comments essential to building good products and make team building more inclusive whilst working remotely.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
So to advise anyone to use Miro, I would ask What do I need it for? Will others use it? Will it be adopted into the team as an essential tool for the team and the customer? Will everyone make use of it? I think that it is a valuable tool for the type of projects that I work on and that you probably would find great value in it too.
The perfect tool for a really SMART working
What do you like best about the product?
The feature I like the most about Miro is the ability to create boards like pieces of paper and share them instantly with all my colleagues.
In a scattered world dependent on smart-working, I find very much value in share notes with my team in a creative space such as a Miro board.
The creativity is the second aspect I like the most in Miro: there is virtually no impossible thing in Miro, thanks to the choice of tools.

The creativity is the second aspect I like the most in Miro: there is virtually no impossible thing in Miro, thanks to the choice of tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are only a few things that I dislike: in particular they mostly regard UX.
For examples, adapting the text to a sticky note is usually not very simple, and I generally incline for square shapes.
Also, locking contents and frames is sometime tricky, expecially when many users work on the same board, leading to minor inconveniences when people accidentally move frames.
Another feature that is sometimes a little annoying, is when I enter a board and it tells me all the changes that my team has done: after that I must click on every changed content to remove the notification.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I must share information with my colleagues, for which I usually would need paper (schemas, graphs, brainstorming, etc.), and I cannot simply use shared documents.
Also, I may need to use some template in order to achieve easier and quicker some result.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is very simple and helpful: after months of smart working without a tool such that, where productivity dropped due to difficulty in communication, we finally had a place where communicating easily.
great for process facilitators
What do you like best about the product?
Having spent a lot of time in front of a whiteboard with teams of people I've found Miro to be the best substitute for when you can have people in the same room together. Like with anything new it takes a bit of work to get people comfortable and confident to express themselves but once the ice is broken Miro helps open up creativity and dialogue.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing. The cost is high. The free version is great but lacks video conferencing so you need to be ready to be quite hands-on and to have a patient and tech literate team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ideation and Consensus based decision making.
Transformative for collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
It's really easy to get started and have a group contribute without prior experience. I like that you can visually diagram things easily with shapes that connect. Frames help you synthesize ideas after a session or can help you use one board as a collaborative space with multiple topics. Social features like commenting allow you to use a space over time.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a little difficult to use at times - often people inadvertently move pieces of content when trying to move around the board. I find it hard to edit shapes sometimes after the fact. I also wish there were more intensive board categorization capabilities so that when used at a large company, users can navigate to a space to see their boards more effectively.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Get teams to think on complex topics where input from multiple people is needed
Keeping a Working Group Working through COVID Isolation
What do you like best about the product?
Miro allowed a group from multiple backgrounds to come together to assess gaps and find solutions to a complex industry problem. Participation during meetings allowed everyone to illustrate their thinking, connect to new ideas, and rate solutions. Between sessions, members could contribute supporting documents, build on ideas and respond to queries allowing for the project's momentum to continue.
Participants were used to collaborating inperson using visual cues and dialouge. Coupling Miro with Zoom, allowed faciliation that kept both the inperson feel and whiteboard tracking. Using the templates allowed the working group to collabortate on fishbones, track system experience and map soutions.
As a faciliator templates made it easy to prep for sessions, timers helped keep meetings on track, and visual tracking of particpants maintain engagment. The ability to add ice breakers to initiate creative thinking and hid e frames to allow generative process allowed for good tranistions to virtual work.

What do you dislike about the product?
Miro is available to be used on different devices; however, participants found desktop was the most user friendly. It took new users of varying technical skills up to three sessions to feel confident and comfortable contributing to the board. The limits of the online video conferencing within the platform created challenges. While commenting was applicable between sessions, the chat function within Miro had limited usefulness.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The collaborative working group was reviewing the distributed model of student internships. We were able to visually map out the complex experience and identify gaps and solutions to improve the programming.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For facilitators:
- Include either a session or pre-work for participants to orient to the program before using.
- If expecting participation from a large group for a one-off workshop, it could be problematic if too complicated.
- Think about how integration with other meeting platforms would work, such as Zoom
- Use the templates; it cuts the work
- Start with a wireframe of your facilitation process, then build from there
- Add in Apps are valuable

Online Meetings could not be more easy with Miro!
What do you like best about the product?
I personally liked the different tools Miro offers. Its wide variety makes it the perfect solution for any type of projects a company would need to do. It is user friendly, so it makes it perfect for people who might not be familiar with online programs.
Another thing I like is how easy it is to move around the board. Shortcuts are quite handy for this; and that makes it so much better to work around.

What do you dislike about the product?
I was introduced to Miro because I was helping improve a process, so they added me to a team. I was amazed by Miro, so I decided I wanted to use it with my coworkers. I tried to create a team, but I found it not as easy as I would thought. It was asking me to upgrade my account, but I was not ready to commit just yet, for I wanted to try it out in current role within the company. I had to create a new account in order to create a new team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been using Miro for decision-making in my department. We are constantly trying to find room for improvements, and by using Miro, ideas have flown so much easier. Before Miro, everything had to be done with old fashion tools. We would need to write down our ideas on a piece of paper, then talk about it and finally come up with those ideas that would work best. Now, everything is made online and on the go. Feedback is instant, and the most beneficial trait that I personally believe Miro offers is that it is visually friendly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You should definitely give it a try. Once you have used Miro, using another software would fulfill your expectations.
Great collaborative tool with deep functionality
What do you like best about the product?
The deep functionality within Miro and a broad ecosystem of integrations make it a very flexible and helpful system. You can do most of what you need to do from a collaboration perspective without leaving Miro, and being able to embed files and other integrations help that. You can design good-looking boards, and it's relatively simple to keep them neat and tidy.
What do you dislike about the product?
There can be a steep learning curve for new participants who haven't used Miro before, and the onboarding process for new users can be a bit of a headache in terms of registering--they can get a bit confused at times. It would be useful to be able to lock down or limit functionality for new users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team workshops, teaching for students, whole innovation programs, one-to-one facilitated discussions, online collaboration, mentoring sessions
More effective workshops, better and faster collaboration, easy knowledge management

Miro is the virtual place of my real design
What do you like best about the product?
In a single platform, I can manage my agenda, ideas, structured projects, and planning. And for some time now, my presentations as well. Not having to jump from one specialized environment to another is comfortable.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I don't like is that I can't move tabs of open boards, which I instinctively do to keep groups of related boards close together.
Another thing I'd improve is the tab entity: it is very useful as a structured container of information to move from one column to another in a table or kanban, but which I'd enhance with richer text management and more pronounced color markup, in any case, already useful as it is.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro has dramatically reduced friction in managing my daily work of organizing and planning. In particular, I was able to develop an agenda system that is a hybrid of planner and kanban, a visual system that is particularly congenial to me.
Great Tool for UX Team!
What do you like best about the product?
Wireframe library is an excellent possibility for online Workshops. We are mainly using Miro for Ideation and sketching an Idea.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I can’t find the boards, which other companies share with us. As well I believe Uploading can be improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
So, since we are all working from home, we realized how important it is to be connected and collaborate at the same time to get something done. Miro is not only good for workshops but also for organizing Teams and keep everything in one area. Very often, I had to go through all my files to find one I was look for to share with my team, now with Miro we just uploaded everything there.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Introduce Miro to everyone, with who you are working every closely. And share insides, updates, ideas and even your current status with them you will see how beneficial it is to be transparent.
