Amazing collaborative tool with a small learning curve
What do you like best about the product?
We love using Miro because it does a great job providing space for people to contribute in a shared area without requiring travel or neat handwriting. We use it for brainstorms and workshops, design reviews, and project planning and really couldn't have survived this past year without it.
What do you dislike about the product?
It does take a little bit of orientation to help new clients get used to the Miro UI. A few of our Windows users really don't like navigating in large boards, though they do see the benefit to using the tool overall.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We lead workshops often and Miro is a great spot to have folks come in and start sharing their ideas and building off of others' notes. It's also effortless to rearrange and draw connections, which is a plus when compared to physical whiteboards. Combined with Zoom or Teams breakout rooms and tight agendas, Miro has become an invaluable part of how we collaborate with our clients. Additionally, the board is easy to share and read after the session, which makes drawing takeaways much simpler.
MIRO enabling therapists to deliver enhanced rehabilitation to brain injured clients.
What do you like best about the product?
MIRO allows me to be REALLY creative with my clients, to operate remotley with them at a time when it is difficult to see them face to face. We can develop compensatory strategies with them, solve problems, use MIRO to find employment, run groups, and up skill our clients. You can make your boards as simple or complex as you like which allows you to adjust boards for each individual. To top all this off, MIRO have been very supportive and interested in our work which is great.
What do you dislike about the product?
Using MIRO has generally been great; the only downside has been some of the clients, because of their brain injury, have found it challenging to access boards. MIRO though, have been keen to discuss access issues with us, which is positive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Some examples of how we have used MIRO
To carry out careers guidance
To manage fatigue following brain injury
To record job applications, clients are making
Enabling group training sessions to run remotely with interaction and to move away from face face sessions with paper handouts.
We can share the work we have done on MIRO easily with clients putting them more at the centre of their rehabilitation
We have run events remotley using MIRO i.e. an inclusion week fayre for our organisation

It's been an amazing tool for collaboration between different cohorts. I always recommend Miro.
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy and fun to use, no matter if you are a millennial, x or boomer
What do you dislike about the product?
Hard to get for first time users sometimes
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In this pandemic, we are all sick of power point and boring zoom sessions.
With Miro, I can make sure everyone is participating actively and actually enjoying the session.
Virtual collaboration between different generations has been the most difficult challenge for me, but Miro makes them all equal, since it's easy to use.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
It would be useful to have some material focused on different generations. We know that they learn in a different way, depending on their age and expertise. It would be nice to have some personalized tutorial for all of them.
Miro has completely changed the way our agency works - and we're never going without it again!
What do you like best about the product?
It's a collaborative and versatile tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
We're not able to upload different fonts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're often mapping out complex strategies for healthcare companies. Miro brings everyone on our team together and makes them feel empowered to take ownership of their portions of the project. Everyone can work together collaboratively or independently while still making their work visible to the entire team. Because of Miro's clean interface and custom design solutions, we love presenting to clients directly from our Miro boards - rather than transferring everything to Keynote and creating more work for the team. We've used Miro for various types of projects ranging from wireframing/information architecture, strategy mapping, brainstorming, project management schedules, and more. The significant benefit is the opportunities are endless with Miro.
A powerful tool for creativity
What do you like best about the product?
I am a teacher in a high school and a formator in different kind of seminaries for educators. I have used Miro to collect the experiences of the participants.The result was great, very clear, and at the same time, pleasurable to be viewed
What do you dislike about the product?
I had at the beginning some problems about the use of templates: they are really many and maybe it is required a little bit of time and experience to use them properly. Obviously it is a richness but, especially at the beginning, it is easy to get lost.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The major problem I have solved was to find a way to collaborate in real time, an accessible tool, not too challenging to be managed by the participants. Miro offered all these features together
Best White Board solution I know
What do you like best about the product?
As a facilitator, moderator, and coach I need an easy to access whiteboard tool. Miro is exactly that. It allows true collaboration and has a myriad full of options and tools to make the board work just the way you want. Of course this comes with one disadvantage: you’ll have to teach your participants a little bit, how to use the tool. But I found a ways to do that in under 5 minutes and even with some learnings outside the sole Miro experience (e.g. “Introduce yourself with pictures and emojis”.
What do you dislike about the product?
As mentioned already, introducing fresh participants into Miro takes some time. Still it’s 100% worth it, unless you only have less than one hour time. And some tools are not yet as functional as I wish they were. But knowing the development speed of the Miro team I guess this is only a matter of weeks until it all just works fine.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used Miro for an international workshop series that wouldn’t have been possible in these Corona times. And furthermore I do not expect to have this conference in the next years in presence, because it saved us so much time and money to use Miro instead of bringing 200 people from all over the world to the headquarter.
Business Consultant
What do you like best about the product?
Miro has been very effective to allow for productive and fun teamwork and team-building exercises for our remote team. Our organization recently used Miro to plot our business model canvas, and we all use the boards for various project workflows and brainstorming. It is a perfect solution to visually map our thought process, and stay connected as a team. The boards also serve as a record of our projects and workflows which has really helped with keeping the team on the same page, onboarding new members, and optimizing project elements. I have tried other virtual whiteboards, but Miro seems to be the best in terms of the range of templates (we especially love the startup templates through our work with entrepreneurs), functionality, and aesthetics.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I dislike about Miro is when someone has an entity selected on the board it grey's out and is hard to read. I think it makes sense to show when someone is selecting something, but greying it out makes it tricky to collaborate in real-time because it hinders visibility for others. There is also a bit of a learning curve to get used to all of the functionality of Miro, but that is to be expected, and most functionality is intuitive. The only other issue I have found is that it's hard to navigate to the events page, or Miro home page once you have an account. I would add an events/ community/ webinars button to the dashboard page so teams can easily access and know about that valuable content.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving teamwork, brainstorming, and project management hurdles with Miro. We used to work in the office and since being remote Miro has helped with keeping us all connected.
Excellent collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
Miro has an intuitive UI which new and guest users can pick up in a matter of minutes and this really helps us when running remote client workshops. There is a comprehensive and regularly updated suite of templates, third party integrations (like Slack and Jira), and tools to support remote collaboration and Agile ways of working. I prefer the desktop app over the browser and the user dashboard is an excellent way to organise our Miro boards across projects and teams.
What do you dislike about the product?
Over time, boards can naturally grow very large (especially if using lots of images and attachments) and navigation becomes unwieldy if not organised. Performance can also slow down slightly at this point, given the amount of information to load in.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro with all my project and products teams to improve our collaboration and for client facing workshops of any kind. There are so many types of remote activities you can run in Miro, including ideation, voting, retrospectives, backlog refinement, user story mapping, release planning, etc and also as a long term digital wallboard for our projects, products and continuous improvement activities. I would say the two most benifical aspects for me personally, as someone focussed on Delivery, are firstly the abilty to make work more visual and interactive and the ability to ideate and brainstorm with colleagues and clients using digital post-it notes and quickly convert that information into Jira issues directly from the Miro board.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There's plenty you can do on the free tier to get yourself accustomed to what's possible with Miro. I would encourage those thinking about adopting Miro to dive in and play around with some templates like a personal Kanban or try a retrospective template with colleagues to get used to the features and functionality.
Great for remote collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
miro is intuitive and easy to use. We love that it works with images, text, and seamlessly helps you collaborate. Direct links make gathering references easy. Both our clients and students find it an invaluable tool. Love the free education offer.
What do you dislike about the product?
It does take up a fair amount of memory and you need high speed internet. We're ok, but some mind find that a problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Brainstorming remotely is easy. The templates help me get things going quickly so I don't need to overthink things. Collaborate with clients is easy and fun. We used to use design software but then we'd fuss about the way things looked which distracts from the content development and only one person could edit at a time, and the graphics do generally look great. This tool allows us to focus on the content first which is great. With the free trial, it's easy to have clients join without major barriers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Super easy to use, great collaboration tool. Seamlessly links to other similar platforms like google docs. Love that it works with visuals, words and links.
The BEST tool for engaging, transformational, effective online teamwork
What do you like best about the product?
Miro has made it so easy to move my organization's trainings and workshops online. The user-friendly functionality, interactive tools, and "infinite possibilities" whiteboard allow us to collaborate just like we would in a room together.
What do you dislike about the product?
One improvement I would like to see is the ability to separate and organize my various boards more thoroughly. I have dozens and dozens of Miro boards and while these can be organized into projects, I haven't seen a way to more clearly put them into different "workspaces" for faster navigation to what I'm looking for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have solved the problems of making Zoom trainings interactive and engaging. In a time when many have said they are tired of Zoom/online meetings, we receive consistent feedback that our meetings are "the best....better than any other online meeting/workshop I've ever been to." There are also wonderful integrations with to-do lists, calendars, google search, and other tools to make syncing between tasks and objectives seamless.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is best in community! When taking a look at Miro, give it a spin by working on things with others/in a group. This way you can explore some of the best tools, like brainstorming, collaboration, timers, voting, etc.
