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.
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.

Get teams to think on complex topics where input from multiple people is needed
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 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.
Fabulous limitless tool for creative co-working and workshops
What do you like best about the product?
Basically - it lets you do online things you only thought possible offline. The freedom to create the canvas with any type of content and freedom to structure as I find fit. Continuous improvement in how to interact and smart editing of multiple objects. The positive feedback from participants and users we invite into the platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
A bit complicated pricing system, anonymity for guests when working with clients, the repeted experience of moving things that shouldn't move. The connection lines that live its own life and create a complete mess of everything.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
How to organise interactive online workshops where everyone can be creative and work at the same time. When the corona-pandemic come, we had the problem of not being able to meet and work together physcially. With Miro we could move everything online.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Learning to use Miro is a process. Use it step by step, try new features and include others to work with you. Start with the free version and upgrade as needed. We managed with free version for a year, at least.
Priceless for remote work
What do you like best about the product?
Super quick and easy to work together on all kinds of collaboration from initial ideas, through to detailed designs. Super smooth usability and helpful shortcut keys let us get stuff done. The shared templates are handy for indicating what can be done with the system.
What do you dislike about the product?
Few niggles on linking lines and selecting across multiple layers. Plus some shortcut keys differ from other standards I use which causes confusion. Font handling when zoomed in / out can be painful - eg, defaults to small size (8) but is actually large on the screen (have to create a group and scale it).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solution creation for users, collaborating on ideas across the team. Having a shared digital workspace makes it easy to all stay in sync and come u with interesting directions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Highly recommended. Well worth the time to get going and use across your teams.
Intuitive productivity tool with mind-mapping, note-taking, white-boarding & collaborative features
What do you like best about the product?
I use Miro for both work (on the enterprise account set up by the organisation I'm working with — a team of 50+) & personal use (on the free account — individual). The features I rely on the most would be real-time collaboration for work & mind maps for taking notes.
I also like how I'm able to access Miro on multiple devices & its integrations with other apps like Notion, Invision, Google Drive, Box, Dropbox, Slack, Trello, Unsplash, Youtube, Vimeo, etc.

What do you dislike about the product?
The lack of support for multiple accounts as I use separate accounts for work & personal use. There are workarounds to this such as using one account on the browser & the other account on the desktop app but it would be great to be able to log in to multiple accounts & once with the ability to switch between different accounts.
Another issue is for the free version, currently, the 3 last created boards are editable. It would be great if the 3 editable boards are the 3 last opened boards instead of the 3 last created boards as we would then be able to edit older boards as well while at the same time be limited to having 3 editable boards at any point of time.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've been working remotely, so do most of the team members I'm working with, so the real-time collaboration features such as the collaborative whiteboard & visual collaboration tools have been a huge help to communicate & streamline work processes with my team members.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
An overall great productivity tool & works for both individuals & teams
The software that I was looking for!
What do you like best about the product?
The tool to clustering post-its, the different templates and the possibility so make remote workshops in a super-easy way.
What do you dislike about the product?
The clusterizer feature is great but it will be great also to be able to order post-its depending on the colour they have, or the possibility to order with the tag like clusterizer does but not in a spider map but the post-its ordered one besides another. Just to tell you something, actually, everything is cool for me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am analyzing a lot of qualitative data in a super fast and sustainable way (I dont have to write every coment in paper post-its just to thow them away). I am doing a lot of remote workshops and interviews with it in a super collaborative way and I don't have to write everything down after because with this tool the user write it during the workshop or interview. It also allows me to visualize a lot of service blueprint and customer journeys in a super easy way.
Great tool to collect ideas and structure them for insightful communication
What do you like best about the product?
Miro works very intuitive, colleagues outside my team started to use Miro for themselves without anyone asking them to do so. It is a great tool to structure insights and communicate among different stakeholders.
I like the fact that the software is rapidly improving with new features and valuable templates. With the vast offer of templates you get inspiration from other users and companies. There are plenty integrations with other software tools, I don't use them (yet?) but they might be helpful.

What do you dislike about the product?
For guests it can be a hassle to set up the right privacy settings in their OS to join a videocall within Miro.
MS Teams is a more safe option, though Teams is on the other hand very demanding on the OS. Ideally I would set up video calls in Miro.
The speed and stability of the tool could be improved a little. Also it would be nice to be able and sellect specific boards to be hidden for specific people.
I also would like to choose from sets of icons, to have a logic familiy in a flow.

Creative processes: Exploring existing customer journeys, mind-mapping for new projects, drafting service blueprints for new propositions, creating flowcharts to communicate the business rules of new software.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's free to try, and easy to set-up so there is no risk in just giving it a go and see for yourself.
Simply indispensable
What do you like best about the product?
Whether I'm collaborating in realtime with colleagues or working solo, it is my go-to tool when I need to think critically through a problem.
The amount of templates are staggering and are super-useful to hit the ground running right away and they're adding to them all the time.
Most importantly though, the tool is incredibly easy to use and for a product that requires an internet connection, I'm impressed as it really feels like you're using an offline tool even when collaborating with others remotely!

What do you dislike about the product?
The app can be a little flaky at times, but it's improving. What's really encouraging though is how frequently the product is updated. The folks at Miro are clearly listening to and learning from their users.
I'd also like to see more choices of shapes (eg. not many arrow types) though I can understand them wanting to avoid turning the product into bloat-ware, it's a tradeoff.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've solved a productivity problem and improved my written communication too as a result. I'm not anti-powerpoint, but with Miro I'm only restricted by my creativity. The tool lets me get on with what I need to do. I've previously always reverted to pen and paper or a whiteboard to think. Miro is the first tool where I haven't done that.
Further, there's nothing more empowering than a big blank canvas and a bunch of tools to do whatever it is that you need to do.
