Very helpful tool to collaborate and explore big and hard topics
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to scale ideation in the software
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to improve/understand the expert usage of multiplying objects in grids
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ideation, brainstorming, collaboration, workshops, presentations
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Learn by doing, test miro and figjam to see which you prefer. I'm a figma user but I tend to use/select miro for research and kickoff related things. I'd say miro is the better alternative, mainly because you can access it well in a non professional setting for you hobby/personal intentions.
Miro is essential for brainstorming!
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is probably the best alternative for all our team's post-its, whiteboards, pens, and papers. It's significantly easier to communicate and collaborate on roadmapping, wireframing, and anything that needs alignment on across groups and team. I've been using it for the past 3 years across different companies, I've also tried alternative tools, and so far Miro is the most robust and "catch-all" for all of our product team needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've always hoped that Miro provides a more feature-packed wireframing module (more button and component options), because sometimes the workarounds we have to employ do not really show the intended result we want to communicate in our lo-fi wireframes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The need to collaborate in a remote/digital setting. Having all small tools located in one go saves us money and time in looking for alternatives that do not fully fit the bill, and having it in one place prevents the need from us having to onboard and jump to different places to do one thing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
So far, it's the most straightforward and most comprehensive tool to brainstorm, wireframe, and collaborate for product-building organizations.
Simple and effective collaborative tool for remote workshoppers
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is a great way to collaborate with colleagues and clients. The simple decluttered interface allows you to set up your digital whiteboard in any shape or form.
The cloud based software is easy to pick up and you have a vast amount of curated templates to choose from.
They continuously and seamless update the software with new features and tools.
I've been using Miro since 2018 and it's never let me down. I've tried other collaboration boards, but Miro trumps the competition.
It's my go-to tool which I use for meetings, ideation, mapping, workshops, synthesis and presentations.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are subtle improvement which will improve my workflow. The ability to lock items within a table cell when collaborating with first time/novice users would be super useful. Majority of the time if things are structured within a cell would always get moved/deleted accidentally while presenting or working together as a team
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working remotely has changed the dynamics of having an engaging meeting that keeps meeting interactive and fun - Miro has made this possible.
They have identified the problem of remote collaboration and digitised and supercharged the whiteboard with excellent features, tools, add-ons and integration with other cloud-based software.
What you may lack in a physical environment due to space and pulling everything off walls for the next meeting, Miro allows you to save and create multiple boards with ease and the option of filing, archiving and privately sharing password protected boards that can be view, comment and edit access.
I've noticed that I have saved costs of post-its, sharpie, paper, pens, sticky tape, large printouts, and not to forget the huge impact it has on the environment.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Industry standard collaboration board. I've tried and tested all competitors and nothing can beat Miro. You will save time and supercharge your productivity.
It has the best toolset and also its usability flows well due its sharp responsiveness.
What do you like best about the product?
The responsiviness, for sure. It answers doble click with the latest used feature.
What do you dislike about the product?
For sure its constraints regarding free use. It is very limitated compared to other players, such Mural.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I generally solve work and school demands. The benefits I have realized are due to its usability. It wors well with new users.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a personal tool for your tasks at work as an independent practioner and at college. The free version is good when you don't have to use many boards (more then 3) or to use with more people.
Best tool for product teams
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is an open tool that you can use in a lot of different ways.
It will fit you if you need to draw flows, collaborate with your team, prepare presentations, register ideas and a lot of other cases.

What do you dislike about the product?
I don not have any complaints about Miro yet and I have been using it for more than 5 years already.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The mais reason I use Miro it's to collaborate with my team and to do some workshops with other areas of my companies.
Miro has changed the way I work
What do you like best about the product?
I like the countless possibilities to live out my creativity and to be able to use it for my clients and workshops. I also work much more interactively with my clients today. I use Miro very often to collaborate with my clients asynchronously. This opens up new possibilities for collaboration and increases the quality of the results.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it happens that my clients also use a Miro account. In such business relationships we work on both accounts. Unfortunately, I cannot temporarily connect these accounts even though both participants are licensed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro to collaborate with my clients. As an alternative to flip charts and face-to-face meetings. This involves different problems such as simple brainstorming sessions or more complex workshops for retrospectives or, for example, the development of strategies. I also use it for trainings, which I conduct online in groups. It provides an excellent opportunity to start the collaboration before the actual meeting. This increases the quality and is more efficient.
Great platform for collaborative team work
What do you like best about the product?
What I like the most are the templates. Still, I like almost all the features. I've adapted my work to digital since the pandemic and Miro is that platform that helped the most on this adaptation. The best part, there is no physical post-its overuse.
What do you dislike about the product?
Maybe sometimes I can't find a template I want but that is really an opportunity to design it and share it.
Also, taking your work from Miro to Excel, Docs or Slides should be easier.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working collaboratively online. Making our work more dynamic and easy. Being efficient. Definitely, I'm more productive.
Miro is a fantastic resource!
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is such an intuitive and easy-to-use tool, which in my role as Head of Customer experience, makes customer mapping so straightforward!
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, depending on how big the board is I've created, it can be tricky to include this all in an easy-to-share photo or PDF format.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Customer mapping has been such a win since using Miro - it keeps all of the team on the same page, ensuring that our efforts are placed in the right places in order to prevent churn and ensure engagement.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try and integrate this into your organizational culture so everyone is using the same tool and productivity can be increased across the board.
Collaboration space that works
What do you like best about the product?
Planning a meeting that shows complex concepts in diagram form is a breeze with Miro. A recent online workshop went well because of the meeting timing features that allowed me to keep things on track.
Diagramming tools like snap to grid and connectors between objects make for legible diagrams with little effort.

What do you dislike about the product?
The terminology around projects, teams, and accounts is somewhat confusing but a minor irritation in the grand scheme of things.
Table rows are limited at 50, so when creating a tabular year plan for a week-by-week view of the year... 52 weeks and a header row were not possible.

A must for online collaborative design thinking
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is easy to use, intuitive and best of all, comes with an app for both mobile and desktop. Even the mobile app has most of the functionality of the desktop app. Easy to invite others to collaborate and a complete library of free templates to get you started from workshops and ideation to use cases. Search works well for any text captured on the board and the "bring to me" function brings users to the correct spot on the board in record time.
The extent of the tools within Miro is great - text, stickies, symbols, IconFinder and a firm favourite from a design perspective - the Wireframe library. Mind map works very well and being able to make connections between the respective elements is useful. Visually, it is appealing and modern and it has helped tremendously in preparation of design sessions.
Miro integrates to Microsoft Teams, which is a huge plus.
A must for all design thinking lovers, project managers, business analysts, strategists and anyone having to facilitate team sessions these days. The upside for facilitators is that all input is captured and you no longer need a project administrator to sit and tediously capture stickies after a brown paper excercise. Boards can be shared, saved and exported for later use. These are just some of the basic capabilities.

What do you dislike about the product?
After signing up, the code took a while to arrive. The Google image search is currently disabled, which is a pain as text, icons and emojis no longer fill the need. Having to copy and paste from Google slows down the brainstorming process. If you do set your navigation mode to use either mouse or trackpad, you need to remember to reset if you changed. I still need to find my sweet spot in terms of zoom % when setting up a new board, but this will probably come with time and use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been able to gather input from a large team in a very short time using the sticky notes and what normally would have taken a few sessions over a couple of days, were achieved in an hour or 2.
Keeping to the time allocated with the use of the timer is effective to stay within the allocated meeting time. Participants who have missed a collaboration session could easily access the board after the fact and at a glance, pick up and add input. Recap at the next session is easy with all input being available from earlier sessions. It improves productivity and it sparks ideas being able to visualise the discussions throughout. Using the content from Miro in later presentations was very helpful and nothing had to be re-captured. Content remains familiar throughout the collaboration process to design & product.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't just look at Miro, sign up for the trial version and use it in a real collaboration session. Use it over a couple of days and with that, the benefits of the application will be evident. Read some reviews and input from current users and have a look at some youtube videos to see the extent to which Miro could be utilised in a variety of circumstances. Having worked with it for the first two weeks, I could not imagine working without Miro in the future. Uptake from others in the organisation has been great as a result.
