Very Powerful Visualization Tool

  • May 04, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The Flexibility of the Miro Interface allows you to create a variety of shapes, text and connections between ideas using arrows or just be freely moving objects around the stage, which can be as large as you want. You can even insert buttons that will take viewers to specific areas of the stage that you have pre-defined. Nice.
What do you dislike about the product?
I like to use iframe embed codes and while Miro allows these, it sometimes will not show you the content inside the frame until you click on it. You will see a grey frame and the contents of the iframe appears as a pop-up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have used it to create visuals to help students better understand complex ideas. It's great for online teaching.

Powerful tool for a convenient online collaboration

  • May 04, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Miro has a lot of useful features like bord templates, voting options, user story mapping, kanban, tables, and many more. Yet it is still easy to use and very intuitive. We use Miro for conducting different types of meetings, e.g. team's retro, planning, mapping flows, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a lot of ways for showing new features (modals, notification bar, etc.) that sometimes distract from regular work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro helps us keep the information in one place. It's a place for brainstorming, planning the work, and streamline thoughts. Thanks to its flexibility, it's usually our first pick when we're starting any project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need to discuss online anything that requires some visual presentation - consider Miro.

Meets all the needs of a product team.

  • May 04, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
From easily creating a brainstorming with my design team to looking for ideas for our solution.
We built the entire design process within Miro with all its research stages, persona, user journey map and decisions about what ideas we are going to develop.
In this way, we were able to present to stakeholders how the whole process was carried out and a great advantage is that it becomes a documentation that the entire team can see.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some usability points on the platform when there are several people connected.
Because, when we have a lot of anonymous visitors using it for the first time, it generates some pain points like dragging the frames, blocking a field when selecting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
UX team documentation, Flowcharts for product sector coordinators. Co-creation with other teams.
To be able to create the entire design process inside Miro is something incredible, because that way I can easily visualize and iterate inside the boards. Holding meetings and making quick decisions is essential for this current moment of organizations.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Using the target you will have the necessary agility for quick decisions and gains with your team.

What do you dislike about the product?
I think that what i dislike is that sometimes it is difficult to find things because i am not a really good person to deal with internet and things of technology, although Miro is very instinctive, you know? I really think that Miro should grow even more since it is a very good plataform to put things together and make a company grow and get the strategy done i one place. It is a really nice experience for me. I study at Universidade Federal do Ceara and it is a public college, we dont have a lot of stuff, so Miro is ehat helps me

My organization at college and work. I get put all of my stuff in one plane, like my notes, my overview of my projects, my new ideas that i want to organize and things like this

Miro has changed the way I work in group and have brainstorming

  • May 04, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The possibility of having a collaborative board with my colleagues and a lot of tools that help us decide, share our ideas and also synthesize our thoughts. I like that it helps me when doing my mind maps when having classes and improving my professional capacitation.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not a very intuitive plataform, even though as I enjoy using it, I have difficulty creating my cards if I want to share with my colleagues, so I wish there were more tutorials on using it, and also I wish it has a Portuguese version for being more acessible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a lot of brainstorming about our problems, do some mental maps to get on the situation and solving it. Also, there's room for everyone to collaborate and to show it with a nice view. We are solving the problem with feedback to the team and the lack of innovation in our products.

Miro, the tool to establish a physical collaborative world in the virtual world

  • May 04, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The real-time aspect and infinite canvas for me are the most powerful features of Miro. Having real-time access to an endless whiteboard does the most to recreate the real world. I believe the most crucial aspect of any field of work is shared understanding. Something that Miro do a great job of, specifically removing the barrier to entry regarding authorisation, giving editting access and the tools to make thoughts visual. This is both a win for the UX and the technical performance of the product.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have no general criticisms of Miro but whilst I likely have a lot of ideas for Miro my only feature criticism is the ability to log in to two accounts at the same time and switch between them. This is something that Figma have recently added and I think it's a really foundational feature that will finish the foundational work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There's not an aspect of life I can't imagine Miro helping with. In my eyes, it's essentially as critical as pen and paper – it takes invisible personal thoughts and makes them visible and tangible but not only that, it does it in a single source of truth fashion.

I personally use it to develop digital products. Typically through the design process of discovery phases all the way through to delivery phases. In the discovery phase I use it to store questions, assumptions and regulation and invite colleagues and stakeholders to collaborate and discuss then I use it to validate. Then in delivery I use it to track tasks, workflows and measure up against actual activity (are we where we want to be in terms of project progress etc.)

I also use Miro to present my ideas in the Slideshow setting and have done both a work presentation and slide show as well as a virtual quiz for my friends.

My biggest use of Miro is storing ideas, thoughts, notes. Similar to how commonplace books were used in the 17th Century. I create a repository of information and understanding on a given subject matter or project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
My biggest bit of advice would just be to spend some time with it and getting use to the tools. A lot of people struggle with 'learned helplessness' when using a new tool. They convince themself that they are 'not a creative type' and instantly close their mind off to using the tool but it is obviously as essential a skill as sticking a post-it note on a wall - because that's exactly what it is.

I think the product could go some way in solving this problem by maybe having an activity type game (rather than a virtual tour) to get that person used to using the product.

How to augment collective intelligence thanks to Miro

  • May 04, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
What I like the most about Miro is the fact that it doesn't force you to "think" in one way as many new tools do nowadays (e.g. using kanban cards, backlogs, etc...). This truly allow people with diverse background, experience and tech ability to collaborate : some would use post-it notes, some will draw, some will write, etc...
What do you dislike about the product?
At first glance, Miro can appear as an abyss, especially if you welcome new members into a board with already a lot of content. You need to take this in account when creating boards and especially at what "zoom level" you start creating your board otherwise font size / pen size could become an issue...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro truly augment collaboration / collective intelligence by not only allowing teams to interact in real time in a visual/constructive way but also by taking this experience outside of the meeting room with asynchronous collaboration or presenting to stakeholders easily, etc... it becomes a team room which they can truly make their own.

An indispensable tool for today's reality

  • May 04, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The collaborative aspect and the flexibility it offers in terms of tools to use in the whiteboard. I can invite anybody that I want to the board I'm working on; I can communicate effectively using different visual tools; I can paste documents, links, videos, and so on. It's a centralized and common tool to work on in internal projects, as it works perfectly fine with clients as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
The scale is not always immediately comprehensible. Sometimes I can be writing something at 300% zoom and it looks fine, and the same can happen at 3%. It depends from board to board how it is started and what are the first elements to be put there, which can be random in terms of scale and that will be the basis for the rest
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Facilitate remote collaborative sessions in an accessible and inclusive manner for internal and external teams. Because of nowadays reality, one had to adapt and continue to deliver the services to our clients.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is a great tool to bridge the physical gap in the remote world, it allows for brainstorm and discussions to be visual and organized.
Some tips: When hosting a collaborative session, be clear where people need to go and where is the start of the exercise. Also, pay attention to the zoom and scale of your objects in Miro. They can be proportionate to each other but be in a crazy zoom, and from 400% onwards you can't zoom anymore.

Best collaborative boards tool

  • May 04, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The evolution of the tool, the integration of the new features.
The capacity of having 3rd party pictures.
Hide feature is very useful.
Having both app and web is a must for some organizations.
Capacity of upload PDF files.
Capacity of upload images and we screenshots.
Copy & Paste whatever is great.
Shapes, colors, custom colors, and new undraw symbols.
Share the link of Miro with different roles.
The community and all the solutions everybody brings.
Having the possibiblity of creating teams and different spaces inside Miro.
Changing the cover of the projects (i would like to have some templates).
Navigation arrows inside any component of the board, even if it's a grouped element.
Inifinte space in the board.
Snap to the grid functionality.
Voting options and timer with music :)
Comments and notes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Visibility only works for the owner of the board. We work in pairs and this is quite a pain. We new to re-own the board if the current owner will no be available.
Frames are only squares, should be great if we could hide other type of shapes.
Comic bubble shape has only one direction.
It is not a dislike, but it could be great if Miro could integrate with Zoom. I mean, Zoom window inside Miro.
It is not a dislike, but it could be great also having some kind of benefits in terms on aging with the tool and share with clients.
Tabs (or kind of) in the board should be a solution for some dynamics.
Again, it is a wish, but I would like to have more sketch tools. I would like, for example, to design my own arrows, maybe even with some textures.
I would like to change the background.
Some kind of forces in the arrows depending on parameters would be awesome. We work a lot with Kumu in terms of doing Systemic Maps not very complex and it will be nice if we could create some kind of maps in Miro.

I don't like having a fee for one day contributors. We as a consulants work a lot with them and we already pay for Miro.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Online sessions with high quality,
Online dynamic brochures.
Collaboration in dynamic sessions.
For us, Miro right now is a must in our organization. All our workshops and sessions templates are done in your platform. We have created an online experience similar to the face to face one thanks to all the features that Miro provides.
Miro is a great tool to share with clients.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start with a primary and free pass.
Search in the community for templates and already done solutions.
Ask Miro users.

A canvas for the mind

  • May 04, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We use Miro to think together as a group, the freeform structure allowing us not to become rigid too early.
Many projects have multiple documents, people, processes, working documents, which we can bring together in one place and create a sort of 'project hub'. The ability to drop different document formats in, and export selections (frames) is also fantastic.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is an online tool, which means that if your connection drops or is unavailable for a time, you cannot work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Miro to create shared, non-structured workspaces and as an ideation board for many things.

We can annotate eternal documents or ideate structures for new ones as a team, block out processes or flows and move them around as they change.

Miro has become our go-to tool for creating 'visual walkthroughs' of all sorts of things.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The templates are super helpful if you have a collaboration exercise in mind, but try a blank canvas and experiment with doing a 'brain dump' - you'll be amazed at how useful it is not to have a 'structure' to form your thinking!
