Excellent Living Whiteboard Wall
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is a far superior tool to the traditional whiteboard that we used in the office. Previously when in the office, we would write words and add sticky notes to a wall while brainstorming or project planning. At the end of a traditional session, we would either write down the final decision or take a picture to remind us of how we arrived at the decisions we made. With Miro, we can collaborate the same way virtually, and the "wall" lives on, which allows additional asynchronous and synchronous discussions to occur. Miro also saves time as it is quick and easy to review past brainstorming and decisions along with adding new thoughts to the Mior board. Additionally, the highlighting of changes since last time is helpful to see what other team members have added asynchronously.
What do you dislike about the product?
Navigation: I find navigation within Miro tricky and often frustrating. More often than not, I accidentally move information on the board when I intend to move to a different area on the board. I have identified the "undo" button, which allows me to fix any unintended moves, but it causes additional time to correct errors.
Screen share: Although external links relevant to the project can be included in the Miro board, with the Miro meeting, I am unable to share the screen so that all meeting attendees are looking at the same external information. The lack of external screen share causes me to use google meets more frequently than the Miro "meeting" functionality.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro when aligning visions to define a project. It is an excellent collaboration tool, as it allows everyone to voice (write) their thoughts, which in turn allows more enriching discussions including clarification of ideas. The voting feature is great for ensuring alignment on ideas. It alows everyone a "voice" at the meeting to share their ideas. With proper documentation, those who have not attended the synchronous meeting are able to review the Miro board and contribute to the project asynchronous. As a result of using Miro, we have been more successful in aligning the vision and scope of projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Appoint a Miro champion internally to encourage others to use Miro and provide examples to teams where Miro can improve current practices.
The great platform not just for brainstorming and thoughts organizing but bot creating the solutions
What do you like best about the product?
I'm a massive fan of creative and strategy sprint sessions, and Miro is the perfect tool for it. Thanks to its tools Miro makes the collaboration so easy and fun that the whole 4-hour sprint passes in just one go with no fatigue and stress. I highly recommend Miro for team collaboration and brainstorm sessions. And especially as a perfect tool for the facilitators.
What do you dislike about the product?
I didn't notice anything terrible about Miro because the product is developing and improving so rapidly that you only see new or updated features making the experience better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I handle creative and strategy sprints on Miro boards. So, it's primarily marketing-related tasks. Miro i's also good to keep, organize and analyze data and information. I used it for cus dev studies and other product improvements. It has plenty of templates related to many topics and fields.
Enables a remote-first team with a great user experience
What do you like best about the product?
What I especially like about Miro is the possibility to create frames and easily navigate through them while presenting content. In addition to that, to conduct workshops the timer and the feature to show collaborators' cursors are super helpful for a moderator. I also enjoy the integration of Miro with Slack, so that I quickly get to see notifications when there's something new in my boards. Miro is my number one helper whenever there's a remote workshop and I use it very much with my teams as we are a remote-first company. I've tried other platforms like Mural and I must say that Miro's user experience is superior.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are way too many templates, and some of them are hard to edit. I wish I didn't have to browse through all templates to find the one I need e.g. if Miro would ask me a few questions to understand what my goals are with a new board and then suggest me a few that could fit my use case.
I also wish the tutorials were easier to find and perhaps in a guided tour such as the ones you can get when using Userlane.
Once I tried to contact Miro support to ask about voting data that was not saved, but as I have a free account, it was impossible to find the contact. Finding the answer in the Miro community was not easy.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In a remote-first environment, it is hard to know whether people still follow your ideas or if their attention span is long gone during a workshop or a team ceremony.
With Miro, I feel empowered as a manager to lead my teams in a safe environment. A place where everyone feels encouraged to share their ideas.
Before Miro we were collaborating using Google Workspace apps. Still, there was nothing that could replace a good physical whiteboard to spark new ideas. Miro has changed this game, and my team members adopted it quickly as the usability is excellent.

Very beginner friendly!
What do you like best about the product?
I think the most helpful thing about Miro is not only the tools they offer in the tool itself but the other resources they provide. As a newbie to Miro it was very easy to use but I didn't realize how much Miro had to offer. That is until I tuned into one of their zoom education sessions. They had so much information on all the tips and tricks and it was all super easy to digest.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have anything I dislike quite yet
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has made affinity mapping super easy to go through not to mention there is a feature in which you can take a picture of your sticky notes and they will be uploaded to Miro so that you don't have to re write on to Miro. There's also a page in which you can find all the short cuts so that you don't have to memorize them.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think everyone should try it out, it had so many great things to offer!
Miro is intuitive in all senses, using the mouse, the different objects, even integrating w/3rd
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to be all looking the same without sharing the screen, I love automation like voting, and timer, among the main.
Integrating with other apps like "flip cards", Jira issues, randomized number or object selections, and various Agile applications make it easy to do more.

What do you dislike about the product?
when organizing boards there is just a project level and when the number of boards is large within a project it's hard to find one quickly.
I've noticed sometimes I need to enable complete incognito sessions, as a creator and there is no such feature.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
They facilitate all kinds of meetings especially Scrum, creating templates for other colleagues to reuse.
We've expanded its use to provide training about Agility, also as part of our recognition program and we've created a standard board, and team members can join and assign a badge and leave a comment this later is moved to a company-wide database.

Miro a intuitive creative platform for you or in collaboration with your colleagues
What do you like best about the product?
Every creative process starts with a brainstorming phase. You want to gather and collect without any boundaries or structure.
Miro boards are like a vast floor where you can throw all the stuff you have on. Anything you find and come up with (post-its, drawings, notes, etc.). Side by side, on top of each other, left or right - your choice. Videos, Images, documents, notes, drawings, there's no limit.
Once you have saturated your board, you can start to organize all the stuff if you don't already have applied a template (plenty ready-made available to choose from) and placed your content. Sort things, distill, add, pair, place.
With frames you can place and size anywhere on the board, all the content you choose to organize can become a presentation. Super easy.
Once you get a grip, you will realize the potential of zooming in and out on your board. One super zoomed-out frame can contain tens and tens of detailed frames you can zoom in on.
Two modes of presentation give you either a fly-around "Prezi" type of experience or you have the classical PowerPoint frame presentation view (although without transition possibilities - see negatives).
At the click of a button you can either export the entire board as an entire pdf, a pdf slide presentation or you can share the board for viewing or real-time updated and synchronized editing collaboration.
These are only a few of the features and functions.

What do you dislike about the product?
The presentation mode could be improved: Transitions for the slide view mode. Repeated viewing of the same frame in a presentatation sequence. Hide and reveal elements. Exporting functionality to Power Point. Easier navigation betweem frames overall.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For us: Global collaboration in creative processes. Perfect for people that either work over different time zones on the same material to share a board or for groups that simultaneously work on the same material at the same time.
It's simply the best visual aid for meetings
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to jump in and collaborate in real-time. Either having an informal discussion about our clients inside our team or presenting complex information to our clients themselves, Miro has all we need every time.
What do you dislike about the product?
The options you have when exporting files are limited, but I've seen them get better over time with partnerships.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have prepared strategies and analyzed our clients and their needs, but we have also prototyped web pages and made presentations within the app.
Easy, seamless & highly organized tool.
What do you like best about the product?
Journey creations. Being product manager that's the biggest help as it gives clarity to other stakeholders.
What do you dislike about the product?
The templates present should be categorised or reduced.
Sometimes I get highly confused about which template to use.
Rather than you should show them with social proof.

Indispensable Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Miro helps you think strategically. Even if you’re not a savvy marketer, the built-in templates give you a good starting point for how to approach business problem-solving. And if you’re starting from scratch, the built-in diagramming and flow tools are well designed. I especially like the snapping tools which help make presentations more polished.
What do you dislike about the product?
The app can be a little overwhelming with all the features it provides.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Marketing strategy. Communications strategies. Website flowcharts. App flows. Those are just a few ways Miro is helping.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just try it. Then purchase a paid plan, and you’ll rejuvenate your approach to business.
Virtual collaboration helps everything be remote
What do you like best about the product?
There are so many use cases we can use it for - collaborative employee interviews, team brainstorming sessions, customer feedback, planning - it allows our praimarily remote team to collaborate as if we were in person.
What do you dislike about the product?
No significant downsides for me- I've never experienced any issues, and it has all the features my team needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problems we've solved with Miro are the ability to build off something someone else has created when you're not in the same room. The benefits have been better collaboration, quicker understanding and less back and forth. Teams can give feedback in real-time on calls or a-sync.
