As close to being in a room with a whiteboard as you can get remotely
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is easy to use, share and collaborate. With remote work being a new normal, this is as close to being locked in a room with a whiteboard as you can get! Other competitors, such as Figma and Mural, are good, but Miro, to me, is more user-friendly and more robust when it comes to what you can do within the platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
I love using this with my software development teams, and the Jira integration is helpful, but it isn't as robust as I would like (syncing comments, etc.). Also, having some more pre-built shapes would help create more robust designs within Miro and minimize the need to use other tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Remote collaboration is challenging, especially with each person wanting to engage differently. With Miro, we can collaborate before a call, while we are on a call, or without a call entirely. You can have remote brainstorming sessions and workshops with ease. Miro being a virtual whiteboard also means that team members can go off to the side, work something out, and then bring it the group.
The amount of collaboration that can be done with Miro is amazing

Collaboration Creator!
What do you like best about the product?
Ample ways to collaborate with teammates in clever, unique ways. I love that you can see all the users in a board and what they're each contributing to it. It makes the collaboration process so seamless! My favorite part of it is the use of sticky notes and other creative items to organize different categories of thoughts when brainstorming a new strategy or project, or different processes and requirements for a project.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's great for what we use it for, which is mainly brainstorming. I'd love to see some kind of way to turn that brainstorming into project plans, maybe through an integration. Sometimes it can feel a bit overwhelming if too many people are in the board at once or even at different times, so I wish it was a bit easier to track who is who and what each person is doing, as well as what the changes they are making are. Similar to Google docs or Google sheets and the opportunity to track changes there so we can see who did what and when. I do like, however, that you can show or hide user cursors so at least that part doesn't seem too busy if too many people are using a single board at one time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're solving the problem of cross-functional collaboration and creative brainstorming. Whenever we have a large new project or are planning for a new quarter, Miro is our favorite tool to get some "hands-on" work in! We like to organize group brainstorm sessions and use the sticky note feature to add our ideas under various categories. Doing this in a group setting makes it easy to virtually collaborate and give people time to think about their ideas before having to share them. We've also used Miro to categorize responses to surveys and organize them into similar clusters, which helps us then create content around those clusters that we otherwise wouldn't have been able to see without it. For example, we recently used it beyond our quarterly planning needs to help identify the most talked about responses in an open-question survey so that we could analyze the qualitative data in a more visual way, rather than trying to organize it all in a Google sheet. This makes Mireo not only a wonderful tool for teams using it to brainstorm and collaborate cross-functionally, but also a great tool for content creators who are looking to organize their thoughts in a more cohesive way.
It's also just great for team bonding events and creative ways to see different things about other team members that you wouldn't know otherwise. We recently used it as a team bonding activity during our quarterly "hang out" to identify fun facts about our fellow colleagues. Thus, Miro has many use cases and would be appreciated by product, marketing, engineering, and other teams across an organization.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend others to use Miro because it's useful across organizations and teams for both planning and collaboration purposes. The app is great for many use cases: specifically, you can use it for quarterly planning sessions to get everyone aligned on your team's plans for the quarter. You can also use it for content organization if you work in a content role that requires ideation or organization of various format and content thoughts. Finally, you can use it for team bonding events in clever and creative ways.
Strategy & Planning Visualized
What do you like best about the product?
I love how modular Miro is. No matter what template you choose from you can customize every nuanced piece of each project.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much to dislike. I've used plenty of other mapping and visualization tools and Miro is definitely at the TOP.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Workflow, Planning, Onboarding, Sprint, Customer Journey, Sales to Success Handoff. Annual and QBR, and more!
Awesome collaboration capabilities and the perfect diagraming tool
What do you like best about the product?
The easy UX that is under the hood of the product. The integrations that it has and collaboration options like the timers and group chat
What do you dislike about the product?
The integration with Jira should be more extensive. Feedback between the two products and better visualization from Jira
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Business and technical diagraming. Presentation of products and DEMOs. Project workflow presentations
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Perfect fit for a connected and collaborative whiteboard. Better in the paid versions.
We're teaching this platform in our leadership courses as the digital means for collaboration.
What do you like best about the product?
Concurrent interactivity among users. The share feature is VERY helpful. I like the flexible, agile platform for capturing and curating relevant content.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve necessary to master the platform is the biggest hurdle. Perhaps the board tools can be progressively unlocked or enabled as users complete skill-group training modules. The Badge program will be a GREAT pathway for our students. We will not invest in all the learning procedures as in previous classes. We will now direct them to complete the first badge and submit the receipt and image. Can you capture frames in presentation mode as a video? Capturing a presentation directly to videl might be a helpful integration as well. Also, I think users need to adjust the gridline resolution. That way, spacing frames based on gridlines is more apparent and user-friendly. Perhaps there can be a "snap to" feature that auto-sizes frames to gridlines.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We teach how to capture ideation for event planning, strategic planning, and process documentation. These are the primary applications we teach.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is the best, most agile, and most flexible collaboration platform in the industry.
Power Point but infinitely more powerful and flexible. Better visualize complex concepts.
What do you like best about the product?
With Miro you work on an infinite canvas. This allows you to more easily understand the relationship between concepts or stages of a project. Miro also offers integration with commonly used apps such as Asana tasks. This enables users to work smarter by not having to replicate certain work.
1. Infinite canvas - stop scrolling through PowerPoint slides to find the correct content. This provides for a more agile meeting. Powerpoint is too rigid of a format.
2. Collaborative meetings. People are joining meetings and viewing shared screen content on different-sized displays, resulting in people asking you to zoom in on specific content that is being discussed. With Miro everyone can control the view of the content that is being shared. They can zoom in and out and skip around.
3. Track changes. Miro automatically tracks and provides the ability to revert changes.

What do you dislike about the product?
Looking forward to the development and maturation of more tools and features.
1. Would like the ability to lock all groups of objects. Certain object elements cannot be grouped or locked with other types.
2. Increase the UI for ingesting Asana tasks. Current UI is limited in width and search functionality which makes it challenging to locate the correct project.
3. Would like the ability to create layers similar to Adobe Photoshop in order to simplify views during presentations.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Meetings are faster and clearer. A picture tells a thousand words, and a well diagramed Miro board gets team members synced up faster.
Whenever discussions are brought up, and people are not aligned or coming to an understanding, Miro provides the ability to quickly and collaboratively diagram out the solution.
Meeting attendees are also able to add comments and notes to voice their opinions.

I love Miro. I really do.
What do you like best about the product?
I love Miro. I really do. I use it any chance I get because collab is just better with Miro. I'm learning more and more features and functionality. And I'm finding use and application for all the things I learn about.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish more folks used Miro. It would be a lot easier to collab with folks outside of my org (stakeholders, customers, etc.) if everyone had a Miro account. I have found no other issues regarding the software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project planning is easy. Collaborating with multiple people is easy. Mapping out current vs. future state and planning is easy. It also tracks history and comments so you can easily back-track, if needed.
Excellent tool for brain storming, collaboration, UX and workflow design!
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the simplicity of the tool and the unlimited collaboration options. Taking notes and diagramming to organize my thoughts have never been this easy for me. I love it and will definitely recommend it!!
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the tool had some options to easily report bugs and glitches on the go.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Brainstorming is the biggest thing that Miro has made easy for me.
Overall Miro is a great planning, designing, solutioning product
What do you like best about the product?
I love how Miro provides a slew of templates to fit almost any need. It seems like there is a template available for nearly anything I need to do as a technical product owner. I use it for Agile sprint planning, breaking features down with mind maps, integrating with Jira, and so much more. Utilizing the features available in Miro has eliminated the need to do some items in varying products.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the interfaces can be a little difficult to learn, but with a bit of playing around, you can usually figure it out. A recent update removed the biggest interface issue I've faced by changing how to move around the boards.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a Technical Product Owner working with an Agile team, the ability to preplan but still pivot quickly is so much easier with design boards that can be linked, imported, and shared with anyone. We utilize these dashboards internally and share them with our clients and vendors with the added benefit of controlling access as viewers or contributors.
