What do you dislike about the product?
1. arrows do not intelligently enough to adjust themselves when I move several process blocks at once. I need to adjust again.
2. High-quality pdf exports could be free for the first 5 to 10 downloads, so I do not have to think about workarounds when there is limited time to decide whether I should buy the pro or not.

Love at the first sight
What do you like best about the product?
I really like Miro and the possibility that the platform gives users to create anything. I started using Miro 2 years ago and when the pandemic started it became my everyday working tool. I like the flexibility, the versatility, and the possibility of discovering inside templates how other users are using them.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really don't have much to complain about Miro. I just sometimes feel uncomfortable in appearing visible in a board.
Also, I feel that Miro has a learning curve and for this reason some people in a workshop/ brainstorming (at the first time using it) don't feel comfortable in editing something.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
At this moment I have been using Miro to document my design process combined with Notion.
So, I use Miro to show visually all the stages: discovery, define, ideation and deliver... in a way that I can share with my peers to give an understanding of what our team have been working on.
Some examples: CSD Matrix (Certainties, Suppositions & Doubts), user story mapping, task and workflow, user requirements, mood board, benchmarking, low fidelity wireframes...
For me, the best benefit is the possibility to concentrate everything in one place and work collaboratively.

Versatile App for Agile Teams
What do you like best about the product?
Miro works very hard to make the user experience both useful and pleasurable to use. This is very evident in the layout and design of the application but also in their prioritization of features. One of my favorite pieces is the wire framing kit. It allows users to create low fidelity mock-ups but they're so easy to use that it's great for visualizing what you're talking about as you're designing a user interface with colleagues.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it's easy to forget that miro is primarily a whiteboard. They do so many things excellently and that can cause you to compare these pieces to fully fledged competitors in those spaces. But if you remember that these are just components in the miro ecosystem and not full competitive products, it's very easy to appreciate the hard work that miro has put into their product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro makes it easy for remote teams to have the convenience of a whiteboard and really make good use out of screen sharing. Oftentimes screen sharing isn't used to its full potential because people just show the same ui that everyone else could see on their screen. Instead miro allows everyone to collaborate in real time. Their iPad app is great too for writing notes
A WOW product
What do you like best about the product?
Freedom to create anything on waste canvas. Integration with multiple application will also give a clearly edge to Miro.
What do you dislike about the product?
All are so prefect in Miro .... Nothing dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Some time lagging and collaborating with my geographically distributed team might respond slow.
Most used tool for UX designers
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Miro, apart from its flexibility and variety, is its innovation pace. Every week there are new features. Great features! I love it.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd love to have diagraming easier, more power on that, for the sake of UX techniques.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can organize my work, run workshops, build presentations, and share it in many ways.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just go for it! Get a paid plan if you can. It gets unlimited!
Enabling better collaboration with others and brainstorming!
What do you like best about the product?
Three big reasons why Miro makes me more effective and happy.:
Miro is fundamentally designed for work together with others. You can very quickly invite either members or guests into the board and even add passwords for a little extra security. I find this aspect of co-creation very important when facilitated workshops or other meetings as if you're the only one writing things down, it either slows things down,, or you're not getting everyone's voice. In these days of constant virtual meetings, if you're not getting them involved, you're probably going to lose them.
Anything key aspect of Miro is that it's incredibly nonrestrictive, just like a white board. This gives me more flexibility to add notes and other details in the stress of a workshop. It also has so many options to customize the look and feel that you can design what the experience will be for the participants. This designed experience can be extra helpful when working with those who are not comfortable with newer technologies. Keep it as simple as just stickies or start creating complex exercises. You get to choose. And also, this freedom helps with trying to break down concepts that you're trying to unpack and learn something complex.
Finally, one aspect of Miro that stands out is the commitment to the end-user. On one side, there's the constant trickle of new functionality to continue to improve the usage of their tool. And on the other side, there's the commitment to learning and community. There's a massive amount of learning content available for everyone, and they've created and nurtured a community to allow then people to share their templates and their learning with others.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are only two things that I wish Miro were able to do a little better. (I assume they'll get there eventually.)
I adore mind maps as a tool to brainstorm and document a lot of information effectively. While Miro does an ok job with their mind map functionality, I find it gets hectic and large quickly. I was spoiled by another product that allowed me to collapse branches which is a game-changer and hard to go back to anything else. This missing feature means that I can't easily leverage the power of mind maps when working with others, as navigating them gets too messy.
The second item is the lack of export data out of the tool as I need*. I understand that this makes sense since it's primarily a visualization tool. Still, I wish I could export my information into a structured CSV to ease the time it takes me to leverage the collected data in another device. In a similar vein, it would be nice to have more ways to tag data. The task object is an excellent step in the right direction, so I have a lot of hope they'll continually improve.
* They do have promising integrations towards tools such as JIRA or Azure DevOps but I don't have access to those tools and can't leverage the integrations. Would be nice to have a simple CSV extraction tool.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Most problems I need to solve involve getting information from others through facilitated sessions. The benefit is that I get richer information more pleasantly through better collaboration from the participants. They can play more of an active role.
MIRO changes how we collaborate digitally and in person!
What do you like best about the product?
It's impressive how fast we can develop visuals that help us to explain complex content!
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing is slightly high, and two "mechanisms" are not perfect from my perspective: Inviting customers (save) is tricky because the sharing options are not very convenient (if you don't pay for everyone). If you want more than one team, you have to pay extra. This makes permission management hard as well.
Some visuals are not very good. Example: Tables are very inconvenient.

Miro brings us closer and together
What do you like best about the product?
Miro's approachable, everyone can join and feel like they are contributing. We can get stakeholders and team members involved early and often.
Templates help a lot with getting started quickly.
Templates help a lot with getting started quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes hard to find things when we go crazy with the amount of "post-its." It might feel overwhelming for someone that was not part of the journey if they jump in a populated Miro board.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mainly using it for 1. User research & synthesis and 2. Getting everyone on the same page when kicking of projects.
With Miro, it's easier to bring non-designers in our design process.

Excellent brainstorming solution for remote/hybrid creative teams
What do you like best about the product?
I love how Miro brings the feeling of an in-person ideation session into a digital space. Not only does it reduce the waste and ephemeral nature of physical post-it notes, but it also levels the playing field for creative teams that encounter difficulties with being fully or partially remote.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have noticed struggles with free accounts being restricted to 3 active boards.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creative brainstorms can be tricky. Different people contribute in different ways, and sometimes, not everyone is willing to strongly voice their opinions. This became especially difficult during the Coronavirus pandemic. I feel like having the digital space removes some of the barriers to sharing ideas for more reserved individuals, meaning that no great idea is overlooked. Even if everyone is there in person, Miro allows everyone from the most vocal to the most reserved to share their great ideas. For me, that's very powerful.
Intuitive & Ingenious!
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is brilliantly simple and intuitive for users; whether you're new or an established expert in collaboration tools, Miro is very simple to pick up; and if you want to take things to an advanced level, the capability is there to scale with you. The range of applications and templates is fantastic and the outputs we've created so far have caught the attention of our clients and taken our decks to a new level.
What do you dislike about the product?
Miro has changed our collaboration sessions for the better. As we adapt to remote working as the standard, Miro has been a solid and reliable tool; finding something negative to say is virtually impossible. Integrate Miro into your working practices and prove me wrong!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mapping our business processes and the pathway flows for data within our product.
