Best collaborative whiteboard
What do you like best about the product?
The way Miro provides the option of online collaboration in real time is amazing and super intuitive.
What do you dislike about the product?
The drawing tools (pencil and pen) needs to be improved, also the pen tablet support is not good.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Initial brainstorming for the ongoing projects is a thing for which Miro is the best. The benefits include real-time collaboration and feedback.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend using Miro even if you are not going to collaborate and work individually; it's an excellent whiteboard to bring together all your ideas.
A fantastic tool for cross functional team collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
To me, I find the different templates of MIRO to be very valuable because, depending on the context of my discussions with my team members, I can select the desired template and drive my conversation. For example, it has been beneficial to work on a feature prioritization exercise where I have used the feature map template. Another example is to create a product backlog, and a user story map where MIRO boards have been very productive to use in the meetings and obtain feedback immediately.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice if we had more customer journey map templates to select as the ones currently available do not have a lot of swimlanes focusing on technology considerations, opportunities for improvements which are great to have.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MIRO has helped identify gaps when analyzing the current state and future state for product requirements and the gap analysis brainstorming done using MIRO has been very insightful to the business and technical teams in deciding business improvement areas, technical roadblocks, and both product and process efficiency.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If your looking to collaborate and engage every team member in the most effective and productive way, MIRO is the place to get started!
Virtual meetings and in person meetings can become more fun using MIRO :) !!!

Great tool to facilitate team work
What do you like best about the product?
I'm an independent consultant, and I have used Miro to facilitate workshops and meetings with the teams that I work with. It has made collaboration much easier by allowing us all to work together in real time, and have a record to come back to in order to better track our learning and progress.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it can be challenging to get team members up to speed quickly who haven't used Miro before and might be less technologically savvy. However, I find that once they get it, it becomes relatively easy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has been a helpful way to collaborate in our current virtual environment. Although it doesn't replace in-person workshops and meetings, it seems to be the next-best thing. So grateful for this tool!
Greatest tool for brainstorming and solving problems
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy the templates and Miroverse. I'm also glad you have shortcuts. Finally, just the quality of content you put out is very helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish I could set a default font. But to be honest, I really can't think of any dislikes yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm a product manager, so it's been extremely helpful for meetings, user journeys, and brainstorming ideas. Miro is my new notebook. All our ideas, begin here.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I've enjoyed the collaboration and presentation tools, ease of use, and integration with Confluence. If you're doing product management, you need to be using Miro.
Fantastic opportunities for collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
The templates that Miro provides go beyond anything we have seen and received from other tools of this kind so far.
What do you dislike about the product?
The handling, as with other tools, needs a bit of practice at first. Then (after a few videos and tutorials) it works very smoothly and quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quick preparation, execution, and follow-up of meetings, brainstorming, topic maps
Great for online collabs. Brings back all the feels of working with physical post-its :)
What do you like best about the product?
Makes visualisation a breeze for online collaborations, especially for collabs where alot of Design Thinking, User Journey Mapping etc processes are used.
The sticky note function and ease of clustering or moving it - i think it mimics real-life usage of post-its for ideation sessions and feedback sessions. It was fast, seamless and an all-round pleasure to use for clustering and further analysis of the responses. Stickies could also be easily resized.
The lock function - i think some may underrate this but for me, this was one of the most helpful functions available when collaborating online, especially with people who are new to the platform. Being able to lock items on the board (frames/diagrams/stickies/pictures etc) to prevent accidental shifting by collaborators was a huge plus and a total time saver. The time that i would have had to spend on moving the items back could be channelled towards other things in the collaboration.
The templates - they were very helpful and there is quite a variety to choose from as well.
Creating frames and being able to present these frames as slides directly from miro was very helpful in having to double the work of creating a google slide deck for it.
The "bring to me button" - this was super useful in bringing any group member who may be lost in the navigation of the boards over to the specific frame you are working on. Saves time from having to "hunt down" the collaborators and guiding them to go where you want them to. Used it often during my collabs when working with new users.

What do you dislike about the product?
Screenshots - Somehow when taking screenshots and copying it to another software like ppt/google slides, significant resolution is lost.
Switching between the pan mode vs normal cursor and edit modes. Am accessing Miro via a web browser on a Windows laptop. The shortcut that the Mac users have to switch between these 2 modes does not seem to work for me, which makes it tougher as i have to remember to click on the side icon menu to make sure i am in the correct mode while navigating the miro board.
Spacing between frames - thought it would be good if Miro could advise on the ideal spacing between frames such that neighbouring frames do not show up in presentation mode.
Lack of simulataneous editing within the same text box. Sometimes users who edit text within the same text box forgets to unclick the text box when they are done. As such, i will not be able to edit that text box until they unclick it, which is frustrating
Lack of ability to edit background of the pictures/icons i paste in.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As part of my studies - a slew of projects relating to user journey mapping, experience design, design thinking, empathy map with users etc
I think miro is great for capturing everything in one side, via a flat layout. Depending on how you would structure the information needed, miro can serve as a great tool for presenting your ideas and research.
Miro is also a nice tool to use for workshop/class engagement, where all participants can come onto the same board and work on their projects/discussions in different frames. It is chaotic at times but it is great to see all the work come together in various boards.
Miro shines when doing analysis and clustering of results. The ease of moving and grouping the sticky notes is my fav feature of this platform. Saves us from wasting paper too compared to real life postit notes clustering. Plus everything is captured digitally so its just a matter of exporting the work to share about it on other platforms.

Try it. There may be some initial confusion as you get started, but it is worth it. Unless there is a better tool, i foresee myself using miro for quite my work/studies/personal projects.
Amazing online collaboration tool!
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to create dashboards and track KPIs
What do you dislike about the product?
Importing data from spreadsheets as cells
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a Product Manager, I use MIRO to track my business health and KPIs and share the boards with my peers and leadership teams to enable them to look at the same metrics. The board helps them provide feedback, ask questions, and suggestions as notes, so we can discuss the topics during a standup meeting, and help resolve the roadblocks. This avoids sharing multiple versions of the documents across the teams.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great tool that can make collaborations easier, especially during these tough pandemic times. Highly recommend this tool.
Amazing software for the ideation, visualization, and collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
It's easily one of the most user-friendly UX's I've ever used... every person I've put in front of it regardless of their technical skills seems to pick it up rather quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Very few things to write here... not sure if there's a way yet but it would be nice to have your own object templates that are organized in their own library
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps with exploring nearly every kind of problem and translating any process... it's beauty is in it's simplicity
Recommendations to others considering the product:
try it! see if you like it before having an opinion
Amazing I love Miro
What do you like best about the product?
The Miro templates let me build amazing Scrum Retros and when I have to do my Backlog refinement, I've got all the tools with miro.
What do you dislike about the product?
I still can't find it. For now, all that Miro gives me is what I need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Building products with Miro, we put the Scrum Framework to solve our challenges.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Experiment with all your want with Miro. And If you're doing Agile Projects, welcome.
Great collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
It's great for remote teams, collaboration sessions, workshops and showcasing work in meetings. As a project manager, it works great with providing a hub for teams to dump their work in progress, get feedback and knowledge sharing especially when onboarding new team members.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not keen on the scaling feature; it's of course very useful as you can continue to add to your board however the sizing of objects becomes quite inconsistent and you will find the need to scroll in or out a lot to be able to read things clearly which can also lag in loading. I'd also like to see more grid options similar to PowerPoint. We often use Miro quite informally and in a 'rough and ready' fashion but it's an excellent tool for kick-off meetings and presentations where you want things to look just that little bit clean and slick for clients.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There have been difficulties in knowledge sharing and onboarding primarily in remote times which we've been able to improve. We've been able to do this by using Miro as a one-stop-shop for all things project related to make things easier for the whole team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend that others using for the first time, check out their Miro Academy. They have lots of easy-to-digest courses to get you started and become familiar with the functions and navigation. I would then also suggest checking out the templates and community areas - lots of use cases and ideas to get you started!
