Easy collaboration and onboarding everywhere
What do you like best about the product?
The tool it's incredibly easy to use and to learn. The main power is the quickness in explaining how the tools work and what can do also for the people who touch for the first time the board. Also, if you think that a guest (nonpaying user) can actually do many things like a regular registered user. This allows to invite new people as guest in the board to have all kind of experiences without having to spend too much money.
Another big upside of Miro is its community where one can find all kinds of nice template ready to be used and also all the answer/help for all kind of problems.
We have found it great for the agile retrospective and planning but also for all kinds of design thinking and brainstorming activity.
Obviously it's incredibly useful for non-collocated teams but also when people are inside the same room because you can have a digital environment where everyone can give his contribute and don't worry about the need to store the information in a digital way.
Also to underling is also the number of apps that are available inside the store and that offer all kind of native connection with other great and commonly used platform (e. Jira, Asana, excel ) but also aps to inherit great tools like voting session, poker planning, timers and many others.
When it comes to showing value releases through mockups or presentation Miro comes also in hand because it offers the possibility to have presentation session with chat and video streaming all in one place.

What do you dislike about the product?
Standard kanban template and cards are not the best (post-it are actually better to work with).
Pricing for enterprise teams is available only with a high number of users (100 or more in Europe, that is a little bit too much).
Jira connector doesn't allow to create sub-tasks.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Also if we have team members spread worldwide or at home for smart working we can have great collaboration sessions.
Miro is also helping us to create a digital environment where we can work on agile practices with people.
Moreover, by using a digital board, we can now share critical information across many people and have them all always aligned with the status of things.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go for the paid plan if you want to have all the features and power of the tool. Lowest plan it's enough to have all practice and onboard your organization.
Wonderful tool for the tech savvy, can be tricky for beginners
What do you like best about the product?
Miro has been a game-changer for my team. We frequently test new tools and this has been a keeper. We use it to work collaboratively- to brainstorms, theme ideas, vote on priorities- and it works like a charm. We love the sticky note function to capture our ideas, the voting function and the timer for prioritising ideas. The frames are great, as they allow you to layout text and diagrams as if on a word processer/ presentation software, then easily export.
The Miroverse is great for finding and using templates designed by other users- so you never have to reinvent the wheel (eg. SWOT grid, Impact vs Effort Matrix).

What do you dislike about the product?
Navigation on Miro can be tricky for the less digitally able. We sometimes use Miro to run interactive workshops and we've had feedback that the navigation is dizzying.
The grid function has given me occasional headaches, with glitches and lost text.
There is also occasional glitches with the copy and paste function, and we've lost text when attempting to do this.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro helps my team collaborate and think divergently. The environment is apt for creative exercises, with all the right tools and the flexibility to use it as needed.
We also use it to facilitate online workshops and focus groups. Its great to have a customisable collaborative space that participants can input directly to.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're bringing others onto your Miro board, I recommend providing a short training session beforehand to help them familiarise themselves with the software. The Miroverse has amazing tools and activities for this purpose.
Essential for Collaboration whilst Home Working
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to share visuals in real-time to ideate and discuss concepts and processes. Running a UX department we are naturally at our best in front of a whiteboard. Being forced to work from home meant finding new ways to make this work as naturally as possible. Miro provided this for us and will continue to be part of our tooling when we move to hybrid working. The mind map tool is particularly effective for planning and note-taking at speed.
What do you dislike about the product?
Better integration with design tools would help with the ingestion and sharing of graphics would improve the ease of use for our team. The improved wireframing tools are good, but there could be a lot of further improvements to this so we can use this for live wireframing sessions with Product Managers and Development Leads.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The management and governance of boards on the team plan has been an issue which may require an upgrade to the Enterprise plan.
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 )
- templates for the type of activity (meeting, brainstorm, 1-1, idea screening, feedback call sessions)
- collaborative editing and audio/video conferencing (it doesn't require the third-party audio/video conferencing tool for collaboration
- 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

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.
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.
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.
