The tool that has it all and enables our remote team
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can basically do anything on Miro! They both have helpful templates or let you design a solution that works for anything you're trying to achieve. We run our retrospectives remotely using Miro, which allows the team to be creative and engaged in their responses and use words, emojis or even pictures to express their feelings on the sprint. We also keep our product roadmap there, so it's easy to keep up-to-date and accessible by anyone quickly using a simple link.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the endless amount of possibilities makes it hard to narrow down what is the best template or solution for what you're trying to achieve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
During Covid, we're a usually co-located Agile squad of developers, designers and testers. We've been able to run most of our usual ceremonies using Miro, and it has helped keep everyone engaged and connected. The squad have fun expressing themselves using emojis, drawings and pictures during our retrospectives.
Great collaboration tool!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ability to create notes, ideas, collect and arrange photos and files all in 1 place while collaborating with my teammates, especially during these semi-remote times of COVID.
What do you dislike about the product?
No custom color options for sticky notes
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
If anything, it's solved the challenge of multiple people being in different locations who need to collaborate together.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is an easy-to-use and reasonably priced collaboration tool for many uses.
It's been an incredible asset for my team and me to ideate intelligently and effectively!

The most intuitive online whiteboarding tool
What do you like best about the product?
We're a creative company that has been using Miro for over a year now. Whereas in the past we might have filled a "war room" with Post-Its, whiteboard sessions, and printouts, now we are able to capture and collaborate all our work in one place. The templates are super helpful from respected sources. Most importantly, we've been able to get all our team members working in one place, including external clients and partners. We won't be going back to a messy "war room" after this!
We've tried other whiteboard tools like Mural, but Miro has a more intuitive interface and better feature set.

What do you dislike about the product?
We use the boards so heavily, sometimes if we copy paste many high-res images and have many people (dozens) on at once, it can get a bit laggy... but we're power-users, so that's an extreme situation.
Also, not a dislike, but a feature request - it would be useful to have multiple options to export or archive the boards, ie. one page per frame, or, the entire board as a single PDF, or other options... As we use these boards routinely, we will need a way to share and archive them in our company file management (outside of the Miro platform).

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a tech consultancy, and so we use the boards to organize projects, plan tasks, brainstorm ideas, host workshops with clients, capture research findings, and present our recommendations. We practically live on Miro!
Perfect for people who have to deal with lots of ambiguity in their work
What do you like best about the product?
I like how I can store everything on just a single page. I have been using this product for 6 months now, and I would have made 1000 mind maps. Still, miro makes it so easy to search for something specific. I can connect my ideas very seamlessly by connecting mindmaps. I like this product so much that I have started using it in my personal work. Great job Miro
What do you dislike about the product?
There's is not enough. But I would like if Miro can introduce a back-button functionality in search. This really helps when I want to put two or more objects side by side.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To put it simply, I can put all my ideas in one place. Google docs etc. are great for text storage. But Miro allows me to do more than that in a very easy manner.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out, it's great for unstructured storage of data and brainstorming.
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." (Clarke's third law)
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is a tool that genuinely feels like magic at times. I was addicted to whiteboards in team rooms, and the pandemic lockdown put a terrible strain on me as a project leader. Working with an international team on a brand new project that required a lot of conversation and analysis was already challenging. All scattered in different places made the task impossible.
Miro was a lifesaver, the only tool that allowed me a real-time, totally destructured collaboration as I was on a whiteboard. Plus, it's permanent. Plus, it's boundless. Plus, it has terribly advanced features. Plus, it's evolving to a pace I cant' bear with.
Soon Miro became my sole tool for a lot of different activities, from modeling the interface wireframes of the application we are building, to share thoughts with the team, to arrange mindmaps... we are now using it far and wide for strategic workshops, analysis, modeling and whatever.
As a web-developer, I'm so impressed by the technical quality, performance, UI design and ergonomics of Miro that I can't get how can it be working so well.

What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing model. It's a bit difficult to get and I think it can be better thought out to support dynamic, frequently changing business teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I got back the ability to work as in the same room, even remotely.
I also got additional, unexpected benefits like persistence of information, endless whiteboard real estate, convenient side-tools (timers, voting, etc).
Miro allowed me to got rid of many different tools I needed to achieve my goals. Now everything is in one place.

My Go-to for everything!
What do you like best about the product?
The whole UX of the app is brilliant and feels carefully designed, minimalistic... It feels like an environment you would like to spend time in! (Which I do!;-) )
Integrations and templates make it so much more into a central application within my workflows.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the facilitation options should have an option to be collapsed to make focused space, when not needed.
Sharing options: no option in between editing & viewing (I'd love to offer certain click ability yet no editing rights)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1) Second Brain - All my ideas go into Miro, including their relations; brainstorming, associations, concepts, etc.
2) Collaboration - Working together remotely on all projects (incl Design Sprints), voting, commenting, etc.
3) Client-Interface - We use Miro as a permanent Client interface (overview of the projects, assets, brainstorming, moodboards, educational)
4) Library - All my e-/audiobooks go onto a Miro board so I could peruse through them instead of having to go through a list in Dropbox. Easy to share with people as well.

Best tool for collaboration!
What do you like best about the product?
One of the highlights of using Miro (apart from doing its job well) is that I can use it on iPad with my Apple pencil. It's fantastic to be able to take notes and work directly on the board. I also like the multiple workshop-oriented templates; I don't have to build them myself!
What do you dislike about the product?
The "What's new" modal that appears when there's a new update is a bit annoying; I wish it were more subtle and allowed me to use the tool directly (this is a minor and personal preference, though).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem I'm solving with Miro is working remotely in pandemic times. Since we can't go to the office and use a whiteboard for our sessions, Miro has been great as a collaboration tool to get the team together. We work as if we were in the same room: chat, comments, ability to use images to get an idea across has been invaluable.
I can't believe this product exists!
What do you like best about the product?
First, it's the ease of use combined with the readily available templates. I don't have to think too much about how to visualise a project, workflow, or anything I'd like to use it for - I can simply check the templates, get an idea of how I want to build it, and not spend time in doing so. Not to mention, just browsing the templates helps me get ideas on what more I can use Miro for. Second, with these drag and drop types of tools, you spend a lot of time on minimalistic details (it doesn't align as it should, you need to click 5 times to connect some pieces, etc.), with Miro I never thought to myself "wow, I'm investing so much time in just trying building", I spend most of the time just thinking what I need to add, which is amazing. And, so I don't forget - the ability to integrate to other tools and the ability to present, collaborate and save as pdf, I can't believe these are present :)
What do you dislike about the product?
I wouldn't highlight anything specific, as my only thoughts here about extra features (but it's so feature-heavy that this is just the mindset of "when you have more than you need, you're thinking of what else could be added). So far, it's perfect.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project planning, automation mapping and project / business visualisation. The main benefits I've seen is, we've invested so much time into trying to have it all mapped in one place, while combining the need for a workflow, plan, breakdown and a few other things that we would need to combine a few tools to make it happen or work within the limitations of other tools.
A better way to collaborate
What do you like best about the product?
Our teams use Miro for remote workshops of all kinds - it's super easy to use as a whiteboard and a facilitation tool to manage the flow of your meetings with many participants. It helps you build shared mental models of your projects quickly and efficiently. We use it both for live and offline sessions, including documenting trends research, ideating behavior flows, aligning on strategy and prototyping various models for our products. You can create almost anything the way you need.
I find stickers most helpful - they let you create whatever structure and capture info on the fly pretty quickly. They also have an extensive template library following frameworks like CJM, user story mapping, business model canvas, and even opportunity solution tree.

What do you dislike about the product?
Miro is somewhat light on shapes and quick actions, so when you need a good-looking classical diagram, e.g. a BPMN process model or a UML use case diagram, it'll take time and practice to design those. It's not a tool for designing diagrams per se, rather a whiteboard for group collaboration and/or solo ideation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I often use Miro whenever I have an idea I need to think through on my own and in group discussions, be it a team meeting or a client interview. It let us visualize ideas, build shared understanding and get to the bottom of many problems and opportunities quickly and efficiently.
My favourite shiny toy.
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is one of my favorite tools; it helps me visually unpack complex concepts, and it's fun to use. The templates are fantastic, and it is the fastest way to create professional presentations (Powerpoint is so 2010). I love being able to post screengrabs, links and link various elements.
What do you dislike about the product?
As an endless whiteboarding tool, my Miro boards can get quite large, slowing the load speed. I've had feedback that non-Miro users find it quite overwhelming in presentation mode skipping from frame to frame. Sharing boards with non-Miro users is also quite tricky as they find it challenging to navigate at first glance - accidentally moving things around.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro to map out complex relationships. It is my go-to for visualizing online journeys and creating presentations. It is fun, easy to use (once you get the hang of it), and fast.
