Best all around app for brainstorming, workshopping and online collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
I do really like the UX of miro, so as templates and all the different plugins. I also like the new features like the Consulting package option with the guest sharing system (and now with the naming feature). It's a big plus when it comes to SMBs cost efficiency.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would not say "don't like" it but for new customers, we have to spend time to onboard them, to learn how to navigate on a canvas and how to use miro overall. I would be nice to just send them a quick tour guide type of thing.
What I don't like is that in some cases moving objects around can be tricky. I'm mostly thinking about dot voting in workshops. Its so easy to not grab but scale the small dots that sometimes it can be extremely frustrating.
I would love to have the way voting works in the new FigJam app in miro.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Me and my company were using miro way before the covid thing for online remote collaboration, but recently it become our no1 tool for meetings, workshops or any kind of brainstorming where we want to visually capture ideas, user journeys. I particularly love the mind maps. It helps soo much for clients to organize stuff.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I can highly recommend Miro for anyone who likes to visualize ideas, concepts on a whiteboard. I found it much easier to explain complicated concepts to clients this way.
Miro inspires my team's innovation
What do you like best about the product?
Everything, We love the stickies, the voting feature, the templates, the voting. Miro is constantly uploading new features, and I'm still discovering all it has to offer. With every new template and I feel our creativity expanding.
What do you dislike about the product?
The video can be buggy & unstable at times and distract from the experience. There have been a few times when other users have been able to move my frames around the board, and that can be disorienting too. Perhaps theres a setting I missed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My team uses Miro mostly to brainstorm new products & services internally, do retrospectives. We facilitate strategic planning, retrospective, & brainstorming workshops for our customers, manage internal workflows with the Kanban, use the mindmap to sketch out ideas & marketing content. We use the customer journey template to work through our new sales cycle and customer journey. I feel like we are only scraping the tip of the iceburg of all Miro has to offer. As our business grows our use of Miro is growing too!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
if you are looking for an engaging and interactive experience for your virtual team and customers, seriously consider adding Miro to your toolkit!
Miro has been a pandemic hero for me
What do you like best about the product?
I was using Miro prior to Covid, to support clients on design sprints, but with covid, it became the go-to for all my work. I have been able to templatize so much work and save tons of time. The built-in app marketplace is great, and frankly out of the box, Unsplash and IconFinder??? wow, so useful. And the updates are frequent but not overly so. New features like improving the table view have been very good.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is still a small learning curve for my clients, and I think the onboarding steps that Miro provides those users could be improved a little bit, maybe with video? And this is a small one, but I would really like to be able to rotate objects occasionally. why can't I do that yet???
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
remote consulting and coaching, it's hands-down excellent for that. I can keep multiple teams running on design sprints, each with their own dedicated boards, plus I create one landing board for the project where I put all the useful common resources. And that landing board has jump links for the teams.

Elevate your white-boarding collaborative work experience
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is honestly the best virtual white-boarding and collaborative tool out there! The collaborative ability to brainstorm remotely but together and the features Miro has to allow our creativity to come out. While getting my coworkers started on Miro, they especially appreciated and were a fan of the helpful onboarding tips. Using the app, to them, felt intuitive. This made using Miro to showcase my research synthesis and working with my co-workers a lot easier - so thanks Miro for that!
What do you dislike about the product?
I would love to have an excellent way to organize boards or to have a visual way to label the boards. I'd need to click on the board itself to recall what the conten was in it.
There's a bit of a drawback with using the app itself because it lags when moving objects around. This makes myself as a user use the app a bit less efficiently.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A significant problem my team and I are solving with Miro is how we collaborate as a team. Working in a company remotely has had its challenges. Making an effort of how to improve our collaborative skills was essential to us. Miro's helped with getting on a call and start mapping and moving ideas around.
Synthesizing user research and visually putting data information to where I need/want to place them. It also helps to communicate the data I've gathered with my team. Doing this has improved the way we see and view data, and with that, we've enjoyed organizing our research findings.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great tool to allow for collaborative teamwork. There are templates to try out if you need help on coming up with a template.
A Solid Teaching Tool with Room for Improvement, even if you still use NPS ;)
What do you like best about the product?
I use Miro primarily as an online whiteboard for teaching and organizing my thoughts. I really appreciate its interactive teaching format, which is ideal for developing ideas with colleagues. Miro offers a shared space where participants can engage by moving sticky notes, sorting information, and working with templates, making collaborative work much smoother. I find it particularly user-friendly and straightforward; even a brief five-minute introduction helps others navigate it effectively. It's a clean, efficient online whiteboard that enhances collaboration significantly.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find it challenging to locate my boards within Miro, especially since I work on multiple projects across different accounts. It's often difficult to find the specific board I need, as the organization and visibility of my most important boards, or collections, don't always align with my needs. Some of the main collections or folders tend to become invisible for unexplained reasons, whereas others that I rarely use are easily accessible. Additionally, there used to be no way to search for boards across different accounts or folders. This lack of comprehensive search functionality is particularly frustrating, as it forces me to manually jump between accounts or folders to locate what I need. I wish there was a seamless way to search and access all my boards in one place, at least by title.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro for teaching and organizing ideas, benefiting from a shared space where colleagues can interact by moving stickies and using templates. It's easy to use, making online collaborations clear and efficient.
Great white boarding tool for remote collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to quickly visualize ideas through various ways (post-it notes, quick drawings, wireframing). This helps us create quick designs that further discussions. As we all are remote at this time, this is critical since we all can't stand next to a whiteboard. once we have an alignment in the team, we can use the same quick visuals to validate our ideas with customers.
What do you dislike about the product?
It has a lot of features, and I am just not aware of all the great features. As I was looking to find what I dislike, I noticed another feature I would benefit from using. Another potential problem (but I don't think that is Miro), is the single sign-on we have. any new user has to go through our IT team before they can start contributing. This causes issues if someone forgot to go through that step before a workshop.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am primarily using it for design definition work and aligning designers, product management, and engineering on the direction the design should take. By making it visual, we all can make sure we have a common understanding of what we think should be built and, easily address any differences in opinions. We also use those "crappy" designs to validate with customers we are on the right track before even starting to do any more detailed design.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I have used a few other whiteboard collaboration tools, but none of them have measured up to what Miro delivers.
Give Miro a try, it is very intuitive to get started with and also supports many different needs.

"Miro is like art for my business creativity"
What do you like best about the product?
It has been fantastic this past year for conducting high stakes “interactive” workshops that feel designed, in lieu of in-person workshops. The wide canvas allows you to creatively lay out content in any direction. The title of my review actually comes from a reply from @AssistanceHQ on a recent Twitter thread on great enterprise software UX.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's jarring to jump or zoom when presenting to others (kind of nauseating too). Setting up presentation mode is too burdensome, having to drag boards into the right order (prefer Figma approach where you can link up animations free style). Wish there was also a better, lightweight version (fewer bells and whistles) to share Miro boards with new, non logged in users when facilitating larger workshops with people who otherwise feel overwhelmed by all the features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solved a lot of problems around visual, unstructured conversations with my team during Work From Pandemic mode. Also helps create a visual artifact of your work to be able to go back and remember the chain of decision making.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great, reasonably priced choice for small teams. Easy to set up different project spaces for different clients when working in a consulting capacity.
Excellent for collaboration, and business visibility
What do you like best about the product?
Miro boasts a lot of great functionality that helps us host our collaborative UX workshops, with clients or internally. It's easy to get the non-tech-savvy users started with following you around the board, interacting with tasks, and contributing.
One of the major benefits for me as a workshop facilitator, is the Miro user community and Miroverse resource. It's really useful for learning about new techniques, activities, and board layouts from other users.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the features such as tables and text boxes can be clunky to format. There are also some issues around long-term sharing with clients, and I've not found a way to transfer ownership of boards to clients (especially if they don't have a premium Miro account). Still, these can be overcome with work-arounds such as exporting to image/pdf and hosting elsewhere. But on the whole, it's a great product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The big problem that Miro helps us solve is bringing stakeholders from different teams together to work on projects, create shared visions, and co-create to solve their problems.
It works with big or small teams collaborate across the product development board, from discovery, to user/customer research, page flows, basic wireframing, and also for presenting findings.

A perfect tool for collaborative teamwork
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is an endless board beneficial for meetings and keeping track of the work that everyone is doing on a specific project. It's easy to set up projects and use professional templates to improve its framework. There is a lot of more interaction and more valuable contributions when using its boards. Miro offers many different tools that boost our creativity in one single app.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the use of the mouse on the board can provoke some small mistakes when selecting or trying to move some elements. UX can be improved, but I'm sure that it's also important to get used to the tool to take advantage of all the possibilities it offers for teamwork. That will take us some time but I'm sure the reward will be worth it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We keep more focused on working on our projects with Miro boards. For us, using templates from the app or Miroverse is an excellent upgrade to our former way of approaching our processes of work. Miro helps our team to better understand what we do and how to improve it, showing all the information in a very visual way. What you see is what you get... and you see a full bunch of tools ready to use to make a difference with your work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If your try it, your team will simply love it. It will be a great tool to improve its performance and adopt strategies that make a difference. Miro has everything to become an essential platform for your team and boost the creativity and effectiveness of your employees work. Try its templates to better understand the possibilities of its endless boards. Your achievement of objectives will surely increase.
Collaboration nailed on - but great as your own workbook too
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is great to use as a collaboration tool - particularly with remote teams. However, I particularly like to use it as my own workbook - helping me explore ideas, validate thinking and work through things. The templates are so helpful for this - giving structure and an easy introduction to new business tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
The account management and working out what is private, what is shared, what board is on your account, or someone else's is not intuitive. There are guest passes, members, viewers, contributors. I've run into several problems around account management at two different organisations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. My own idea generation, gathering information like a scrapbook and then developing it with the tools and templates.
2. Sharing ideas, and conducting remote workshops with others - and using the templates to help with this

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it - and spend time exploring the templates and 'miroverse'. Make sure you spend a little time learning how they deal with user roles and visibility.
