Work at home sticky note whiteboard
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use of the platform. It lets you get on with creating and ideation without having to worry about the tools you use. Works with your thoughts not against it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Does not have automated mindmapping feature
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Brainstorming, design thinking sprints, product planning. project defining phases and just getting a distributed team to work the idea and problem at the same time
Fantastic for work with some room to grow in personal development
What do you like best about the product?
Templates so that I can quickly start a project. I like the wide-ranging business templates available so that I don't need to sit there and create a template. It helps with team brainstorming sessions and cuts down on the work I have to do before a group meeting. We have used several different boards for different projects where we can just set up a template. Work through the problem, and then come back and pick up where we left off the next time. I would say that I find the template I am looking for about 70% of the time. I think further improving that system would be well worth the time. It's the part of the app where I find the most value.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have several things that I wish would be improved. The first is the line system. There are times when I want to make a hierarchal system and find that I need to have several lines come off of the same object and go into separate objects. A one-to-many sort of approach. It is almost impossible to get this looking clean. I always end up with one line intersection being just higher than another line intersection, or a line coming off an object is just to the left of another line coming off an object. I know it seems like a minor thing. But when I am trying to do a presentation, the details are essential. So I feel like improving the aesthetic of the line system would be helpful.
The other thing that I would like to see improved is the number of templates for personal development. I use miro on my business account for business-related things like Agile planning, refinement, etc. But I also use miro on my personal account for vision boarding, goal setting, habit tracking, etc. I think that there should be some more templates aimed at that. Templates that are for personal development that aren't necessarily associated with business objectives directly. That would take miro to the next level for me and keep me from potentially looking for other solutions like milanote and figma that do have some of those capabilities.
The final thing that I'd like to see. Miro can sometimes get a bit laggy when many people are working on the board at once. This is something that I don't see when I am doing a Figjam in Figma. As an engineer, I know how difficult to optimize that can be, but I'd love to see miro be a little more fluid with a lot of people moving a lot of objects simultaneously.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My company is one hundred percent remote. I always have been, probably always will be. Miro has helped us solve the issue of not being able to sit down in front of a whiteboard and think through a solution. It has allowed us to collaborate quickly and work through different solutions until we find the one that works best for us. It has allowed us to rapidly work through a solution and develop ideas to implement that solution.
I also use it personally to help connect ideas and capture all the information about a project in one place. It's nice to put my own objects together and then use the features like sticky notes and arrows to add notes and connections. It helps me visualize the complexities of a project and string together all the dependencies that are needed to move a project forward.
For my own personal development, it helps to sort out my goals and keep track of them. I can come up with many different ways to track all the personal growth challenges that I have and keep track of them. It is as flexible as I want it to be in that regard.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I'd say to pick a template for a project you are working on and work through that. That is probably going to be your best bet on figuring out if Miro is best for you. Once you have one board filled out, you will know the value proposition of Miro.
10/10 for Miro - mapping lifesaver!
What do you like best about the product?
I found Miro while looking for a platform that could help me map and organize a detailed email journey while collaborating with other people on my team. I was blown away by Miro from a capability side and its ease of use. Miro allowed us to work more effectively and efficiently without a doubt. Since then, others on our team have also tried it out and have had great success.
Also, as a skeptic to taking on new platforms, I really appreciated having so many features available through the 'Free' version. It allowed me to get used to the platform and feel confident in scaling up.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the highlight-to-select features can be finicky.
When I had a question about scaling up our plan and was debating month-to-month vs a year subscription, the Sales Rep insisted I get on a call (which wasn't a good use of my time given my question) and tried to get me to purchase far more than I explained needed. Felt like a pushed upsell.

Indispensable tool
What do you like best about the product?
I love the versatility and the easiness of the tool. Everything you want to do, you can. And with people with low tech skills I had no problem at all.

I think for now everything is good and I have no complains. Maybe that the free option doesn't let anonymous accounts to edit.

I use Miro to create visual maps and to do activities to boost creative thinking skills
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Explore the options before doing something, but it is really easy to use
The right balance
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is a great tool. What I like most about this type of tool is its the ease of use coupled with a smart feedback mechanism that has no visual excess. They have found the right balance to keeps its users focused on the task at hand with keyboard shortcuts, no information overload, or any clutter. It results in a great user experience that makes the learning curve almost instant.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would have to say the free trial. Even though the Miro team offers us three free drafts to work on, I found it pretty limiting, especially in this time of Covid.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro as a whiteboard to help me create/solve complex user flows quickly. Thank’s to its draggable elements, it is effortless for me to pivot my ideas around the problem.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
As the name says, it is an excellent digital whiteboard with many different templates that will help the users get started.
Great product
What do you like best about the product?
It's powerful, flexible, and easy to use. I like how simple it is from the user's standpoint.
What do you dislike about the product?
Really hard to find something which is wrong
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work as an instructional designer, so we are using Miro for workshops to establish things like the target audience and learning objectives and build the architecture of a learning course. It's very convenient with all stickers which you can move around, with connectors and screenshots. And unlike physical board, once you do it in Miro, it's always there, and you don't need to take pictures or else. It's also very good for collaboration as I can share my thoughts about the course architecture with subject matter experts so they can review it and make their own changes.
Great for visual collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it is such a dynamic platform. I can use this to place a PowerPoint or presentation and the whole team can add their thoughts or ideas in sticky notes. I have also liked it for creating journey maps.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a little clunky and I have not been able to make changes and directly export to the original file, such as PowerPoint.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team collaboration in a virtual environment. It has really helped with brainstorming new ideas and letting multiple people write at once.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A great way to collaborate with others ina virtual format!
Finally found the one
What do you like best about the product?
Miro has all of the drawing features and sharing options that I have been looking for in similar apps.
What do you dislike about the product?
The few limitations on the free version make sharing with larger groups a bit of an issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using miro to quickly draw down and make notes on brainstorming sessions and workshops we have with our research colleagues.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Have been using a lot od alternatives but Miro really seems to be the best of all collaborative whiteboard solutions.
I'd give Miro a trophy if I could. One of the best apps.
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is what I've been dreaming of for a while. What I love the most about Miro is the infinite board where I collaborate with my team. It's incredible how we can all be in different places but feel in the same one, thanks to Miro's interface. It is very intuitive, easy to use, and has a great design. For me, discovering that you can anchor your teammate's views was a big surprise; we all loved this spec. I honestly cannot think of another tool you can add to make it better: it has video, chat, figures, pens; it is just perfect.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, I wouldn't change anything about Miro, but if I would have to say something, I will probably make it a little bit more affordable or give more boards in the free version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro helps us feel as if we were collaborating in the same room. It has an excellent solution for the quarantine season. My team could work together with no problem, thanks to Miro's interface. Besides that, I have used Miro for sprints, brainstorming, business canvas, presenting solutions, among others.
