Multi-purpose platform that keeps getting better
What do you like best about the product?
I like how versatile it is, how easy it is to use for Retrospective with one team, User Journey map with another team, and just any kind of logic mind maps that one might need when visualizing. In the current times of working from home this is invaluable. Plus I love that platform just keeps getting better, providing integrations with other services to create eco system.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike 2 things:
1. Paid plans. I don't mind paying, but in my specific case (am a Scrum Master in an IT company, working with roughly 25 people) 90% of my colleagues use Miro only twice a month - when we have Retro. It makes no sense for me to pay for that many people on a subscription basis if they just use it twice a month. I would love a plan where I can pay to have more boards, but will not have to pay for every single team member. Maybe a fixed amount to add more boards? e.g. $25 to add another board or something. For now I just stick to my free plan because it has unlimited users. Doesn't make much sense that once I start paying users become limited. Again - not against paying at all, just need a more flexible model
2. Not my complaint but a lot of my team members are unhappy that every time they go to Miro (once in 2 weeks) they have to sign in again AND they are showered with an update popup. Maybe give an option to not see those notifications as popups and just have them on the background.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using Miro as a convenient cloud solution for Retrospectives with my IT teams, and recently for user journey maps and even some design mockups when we're discussing designs on the call. It helps that the board is unlimited, so I keep all retros in one place and can very fast see what we wrote in previous ones without switching documents, etc. It also allows for some creativity as you can easily post gifs, pics and emojis which helps lighten the mood.
The digital whiteboard for everything
What do you like best about the product?
Miro provides in the digital world what a large wall in a physical workshop room used to do: it's the space for everyone to collaborate, create, organize, structure, visualize. I even use it for my brainstorming and organization, which came to me as a surprise. And even better than a natural wall, it is infinite and provides numerous ways to add elements. Plus, there are some useful features like a timer and voting capabilities built-in.
What do you dislike about the product?
Depending on your use case, it's not cheap. And some companies are not willing to use it due to GDPR and data security concerns - I'm not sure how much this is an issue with Miro, but it can make working with Miro in a client's company impossible.

The app that made working from home feel less as working alone
What do you like best about the product?
Miro enabled our teams to collaborate truly, get more out of these dreaded Teams sessions and have fun. Going into lockdown for so long, we gradually lowered our expectations of what we could accomplish in brainstorms, design sprints, retrospectives, and other sessions, where genuinely working together as a team is vital. That is, until some colleagues of another department started these Miro sessions.
I have never seen a more 'aggressive demand to have a tool enabled in our relatively closed ICT environment. In no time, we were using the existing templates for all kinds of meetings and created our own. With lockdown continuing to this day, Miro has been a live saver for productivity, engagement and fun. And after lockdown, it will remain an essential part of our collaboration toolkit.

And after lockdown, it will remain an essential part of our collaboration toolkit.
What do you dislike about the product?
The one thing nagging the most is the strict way Miro disables functionality for guests and ordinary users. We often encountered a meeting where the admin of a board was not present, and there was no way for the participants to e.g. start a timer or use other functionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro is used all over the place. As mentioned, its primary function is to facilitate meetings that have a high collaboration aspect to them. By creating specific templates we also use it for standardized meetings in our scrum workflow, like the retrospective. As a quick thought gathering 'system', we also often use a plain Miro board. The real-world sticky note approach of gathering all the collected info by taking photos of hundreds of sticky notes is also taken care of.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just start playing with it, use some of the templates and see for yourself if it works. I bet you it does :-)
I love Miro
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ease of use and online collaboration. It is a tool that allows you to carry out dynamics with many participants in a very simple and organized way.
I also like its versatility, you can design a journey as well as a BMPN.

What do you dislike about the product?
I find the accounts a bit confusing. Now that I have assimilated how it goes I see it as simple, but it was difficult at the beginning when the boards were shared with other people to know where they were located.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The realization of remote dynamics for classes has been very useful for me.
Also, as in my organization, we do not use Figma, having a place to map processes and flows helps us as a team to collaborate.

Easy and collaborative
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the possibility of having a virtual whiteboard experience that's quite close to the real experience live. Having the possibility to see highlighted things that others edited, the tool to bring everyone to my attention when presenting and to follow someone. I like a lot the smart drawing tool when I use my Ipad and i want to quickly sketch a tidy scheme.
What do you dislike about the product?
I honestly think is really annoying to have the arrows snapping everywhere and to every object. I would like to have a function to avoid it to easily use arrows as simple arrows (like the common "pen" tool with anchors).
By a psychological point of view I feel weird when someone is following me (without my invite), because it feels a bit like shadowing... I know that also in real life someone has the possibility to look what are you doing, but having the pointer physically there and not him or her in presence (or with a videocall), make me feel like I'm missing an open comparison with the persons. The same happens when it's me that I'm looking at someone... I don't want to make feel pressure.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All my collaborative remonte activities. All the workshops I'm conducting or participating in. I tthinkis really uuseful the wireframe library because it helped me to map and draw with the clients a simple user experience avoiding going deep into useless details. I Can save boards and I can consult them later on if I need. I love to have different templates to get inspired for distinct ativities when I set up a workshop because somethimes is really an inspiration source and not just a template to fill or to reuse to save time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
it's the best tool on the market to conduct collaborative works.
The No1 whiteboarding platform for interactive collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
High stability, low latency, interconnection with other apps, fast development of new functions, design mindset of development team, open APIs, fast collaboration with clients, easy-to-use, intuitive UX, very friendly support staff, miroverse, more in-depth templates, saving your own templates company-wide.
What do you dislike about the product?
Video and GIF handling (GIFs do not start automatically, videos can't be uploaded), Link handling (when elements are locked you cant click the link that is directly pasted onto the board, two clicks necessary when opening a link, etc), Lack of proper text formating, intransparent price model (why are some basic functions, like searching content from inside boards only available on enterprise plans? why are external collaborators only allowed on certain plans? that doesn't really make sense), complicated member administration - the backend in general is quite complicated because you have to switch between workspace settings, company setting and so on. this often is not easy to follow for new users. support has become very slow compared to pre-pandemic times
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All workshops and collaborative projects are done in miro. We became much faster in sharing content that is available to everyone in the team. complex strategies can be mapped visually. easy to start with new users because of its intuitive UX. mapping ux flows works great
The Boards That Everyone Needs
What do you like best about the product?
I like the experience of using Miro boards. This limitless board really accommodates my needs who like to dump many things in one place. In addition to that the preset or templates in Miro really help me to do many things like brainstorming, create a product analysis, building diagrams, and many more. All of these experiences even better with the ability to share the boards and collaborate with other team members or other people.
What do you dislike about the product?
The thing that I don't like is the pricing which is quite high.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro helps me to do brainstorming and dump my idea on the boards. Miro and the community also help me by providing a wide variety of templates that I could use to do my task. This really helps to solve my problem in creating that format. Miro also helps to solve my difficulties to collaborate especially in this pandemic time. With Miro, I could easily share the board and work together within the same board.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is a powerful board for all of you. For you who like to do brainstorming, mind dump, mind mapping, or just to store information visually, Miro is definitely a great tool to do this. You can do all the tasks mentioned above in one limitless board or you can create as many boards as you need to accommodate your needs. In addition to that, the community also very helpful in terms of creating many templates that we can use for our needs.
Great tool for collaborative and remote work
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is a very simple to use tool that works very intuitive. As I say to my collaborators, is like if we were in a room and Miro are the walls and board with all the possible tools to use in a collaborative work session.
What do you dislike about the product?
The platform is not in Spanish. I use it in a Latinamerican context and some users need to understand instructions and others that are only in English.
Sometimes is slow to load boards.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used to create strategic frameworks where I need that others collaborate or be informed. Also I do some consulting and teaching sessions and Miro is my principal tool, over PowerPoint.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is a great tool to collaborative and remote work. Is ideal if yo use diagramming to ease understanding of ideas or frameworks and is very efficient to capture insights, ideas and so for remote people that works with you.
Go for miro, easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the opportunity to see all my drawing and to be able to easily draw and write on them. The huge zoning is really helpful as an architecture student who work in a group very regularly, it is an easy way to share and be able to download other's work !
What do you dislike about the product?
The dowloading of the board if your are not premium is not the most easy. The sharing of board is quite easy and if you share your link, it is hard to restrict access later on... The limit to three board was a struggle sometimes but with organization, everything goes great !
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I solved the probleme of being able to have a board to see all presentation and that allow modification. The board became the go to instead of a google drive and the best way to share documents and ideas through online group project.
