A great whiteboard
What do you like best about the product?
I love using Miro to create detailed process flows and project timelines. The templates are a great help when starting a new whiteboard so I don't have to start from scratch every time even if I want a different look and feel to the flows/timelines.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd add more universal icons, so it's easier to group them according to look/feel instead of various icons, which doesn't add value or design quality to my presentation materials.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quicker to actions, I like to be quick and efficient while creating my materials since I am working in a time critial environment and the project are always time critical.
Meets everything that is required by an early stage tech startup
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use, the collaboration and the intergrations to jira.
The variety of templates that is available can help us think and build products and design GTM strategies

What do you dislike about the product?
At the moment , we haven't seen / explored much, so it would be a bit early for the same.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are just getting started,even then I see two to three fabulous use cases
1. We are constructing our NA GTM strategy

Great product vision mapping and collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
It is extremely easy to use with great UX. The ability to collaborate with peers is perfect for product boarding and vision mapping. I used miro extensively in my product planning.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing as such that is missing. However I will definetly love more feature capabilities related to tables in miro. Right now, it is very basic and does not allow using tables effectively.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mainly being used for product planning, user story mapping, etc. But we have used miro for almost all phases of product dev, from sprint planning, to retro. This has helped in improving the alignment between teams.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great tool. I have used mural, jam board and others before, but this would be the best bet.
Game-changer in the remote facilitation space
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is so intuitive that everything becomes clear as soon as you use it. I love how modular Miro is with a wide selction of templates or through the community Miroverse which allow me to create highly engaging workshops. The timer (with music!), voting and summoning features are all my go-to's and I'm starting to use the selection of easily integrated apps available one workshop at a time!
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish we could have a "release followers" feature to stop people you've summoned.
I wish we had more visibility on which elements of the board are heavy and might cause longer load time or automatically resize them.
But nothing I dislike!

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
User Journey analysis to understand the user better, Product Ideation to get the most from your team at the same time, User Testing to easily capture feedback, User Onboarding flows to identify pain-points, hackathon/event planning, client/project planning, strategy development through mind-mapping to organise multiple information streams, Design Sprints to test ideas quickly on target users.... and campaign planning.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it to get to know the tool - start with a Lightning Decision Jam for a meeting or a team-building excercise with Build a Monster or Board Race it's the quickest way to get your team hands-on!
One month in and I have a team of over 30 using a Miro Board daily
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can create templates and load them to the board on frames. It makes building the board each day more streamlined.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not being able to update an Excel spreadsheet live within the board.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Miro for teamwork collaboration, process improvement, process mapping, clustering to enable actions using sticky notes and tags and the "clusterizing function", and enabling a collective location to onboard new team members quickly and effectively.
Amazing collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is an excellent tool for immediate online collaboration. The "infinite" whiteboard, the easy-to-use interface, and the simple but powerful tools it provides all make working with it a joy rather than a struggle - which is too often the case with powerful tools like this. One of my favorite features - which coincidentally, is also the feature that sometimes annoys me the most :) - is the ability to see each other mouse cursors while we're editing the same document. Although distracting, it can be instrumental in certain situations.
What do you dislike about the product?
Because Miro tries to be an all-purpose tool, its user interface can sometimes feel overly complex. Some features are overly emphasized (e.g. creating a Jira issue from a card) while others seem to be a bit neglected (e.g. manipulating the z-order of elements). We've also had some issues being able to see the results of a voting session. Having said that, these are very minor issues overall and can be easily overcome with a bit of practice.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Miro for various team activities like brainstorming sessions, mind mapping, sprint retrospectives, software designs, flowcharts, gathering user feedback and even doing simple presentations. Even our organizational chart has a Miro board (although obviously, it's not the source of the data) simply because it makes view the organization - or parts of it - at a glance, a breeze.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try; it's easy and free.
Why I choose Miro
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Miro is the never-ending feature set that allows you to do just about anything. Most importantly, because I work on an all-remote team for software development, a whiteboard is indispensable. Miro does an amazing job at this. I can collaborate with my co-workers in real-time to quickly and easily express complex ideas that would never make sense with just words alone. Back to the feature set that Miro offers... Because it is so feature-rich, I can use it for a variety of tasks, from quickly sketching up ideas that are meant to only last the brainstorming session to drawing up complete system maps that get embedded in the documentation of the software. I guess to sum it all up, just about any activity that involves collaboration takes place in Miro: Class maps, sprint planning, user journey, story maps, or just plain whiteboarding.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish they had better shapes to create class maps. I still use Miro to do this, but it takes some effort to make the correct boxes that are required for a UML class map. Other than missing some pre-built shapes to make various types of diagraming easier, I think Miro does an excellent job.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem we solve with Miro is how to effectively collaborate with team members when everyone on the team is remote. Miro is perfect for this because it allows everyone to share and collaborate and plan simultaneously. And it just works. The most impactful aspect of Miro is that we can have a planning session that starts with whiteboarding, and then come back later and continue to refine what we are working on. Unlike a real whiteboard, you don't have to erase everything before moving on to planning the next feature. Having everything stick around helps us plan further out in advance and not lose anything that was talked about.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro works really well and you won't have to worry about data loss or the app crashing on you (has never happened to me thus far). Given that it's reliable software, it completely solves the problem of remote collaboration. Also, it is feature-rich; there are honestly features in Miro that I have not tried yet. I have been using Miro since it was RealtimeBoard and have gotten two different companies to purchase company accounts when they saw what I was doing with it. I always recommend Miro for a collaboration tool because I have been using it for so long, and it has never failed me and has all the features I need and more.
Amazing tool for collaborating online!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the simplicity within Miro - controls are very intuitive, and there is not much of a learning curve.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not much to dislike - some minor things like the ability to drag & drop images, from browser to Miro directly would further imrpove the user experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using it for all my whiteboarding needs, such as brainstorming and running collaborative workshops.
Excellent tool for organizing thoughts and research
What do you like best about the product?
As a student, I'm always looking for new ways to visualize the connections between ideas that I learn in lectures and through research - and Miro is perfect for this kind of big-picture learning.
What do you dislike about the product?
I often wish to integrate online worksheets/PDFs I need to annotate into my work on Miro, and there's no easy way to do so without separately uploading each PDF page.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Linear notes don't work very well for me when I'm approaching a new topic, so Miro helps me organize what I learn and structure papers in a more free-form way. Collaborative ideation is also a plus.
Definition of the perfect collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
Easiness of use. Continuous improvement. Collaboration enabler. Shared understanding.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have anything negative to tell, the improvements are regular and everything runs smooth
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration with remote team players. Centralized tool to contribute whenever we are available
