The go-to remote collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that I can work with a well-defined essential element, post-it, and from there create whatever I want with frames or arrows, from arrays to flows. Moreover, as soon as I need to scale up my work, I can help myself with tools like icon finder or templates.
Also, it's an excellent tool for Agile project management. We used it super-effectively for retrospective and team building within a fully remote team since before Covid, using timers, voting, and much more.

What do you dislike about the product?
I think there are too many icons on the screen that aren't self-explanatory. I'm specifically talking about the lower-left bar. I understand it packs collaboration tools, but I feel if you're not a very curious person that wants to know everything about the tools that's using, most of the users won't ever reach there or notice that they could find tools as a timer, even if they need one.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I schematize ideas and propositions within marketing operations for our products. It effectively substitutes drawing schemes on a physical notepad. I also keep track of progress within these schemes.
It's also advantageous because when I need to quickly share my work with other team members within the sales-marketing team, I can share a link of the frame I need to show them or quickly draw them to my view when they are logged in the same board.

Essential tool in today's Product work
What do you like best about the product?
Miro allows you to visualise any type of information in a comprehensive, organised and flexible way. You are not stuck with rigid templates, or limited by space. Amazing for team work, different team members can contribute without having to undergo trainings. I use it to ideate, or put together research in order to see the bigger picture of what I'm creating. Rather than having multiple documents, I can just add everything to Miro and save it for future reference.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's hard to scale things if you're working with multiple canvases. I often end up with things that are relatively too small or too large, which makes it a bit difficult to navigate different canvases in one session.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro allows me to organise my research in a way that is not limited by slides or other space constraints. I can create connections between different kinds of elements (image, text) that are easily edited. This means that in the end my work is all in one place, easily shareable with my colleagues. It's more fun and engaging than other tools I might use (e.g. Power Point).
Miro facilitates both expansive and focused thinking modes
What do you like best about the product?
These are the two (2) features I used very often:
* Sticky notes on unlimited space
* Multiple file types support
Ability to present and take notes (e.g. adding stickies) at the same time. In the past, I jotted down my presentation notes separately, because it's quite distracting to stop the presentation mode just to add some notes (or change some elements in the deck).

What do you dislike about the product?
* Overuse, esp. frequent zoom in/out, easily leads to visual fatigue
* Feature to search text inside attached pdf
* Global text search (of Miro board content) is an enterprise feature
* Pricing might be prohibitive for some individuals and/or companies

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
* Real-time remote collaboration to increase participants' engagements
* Comprehensive view of an idea or ideas, which often were captured in many different formats (e.g. YouTube videos, pdf, text-based notes, etc.)
* The ability for me to jump around the board freely facilitates creative thinking. The inherently linear sequence of slide deck often hiinders this expansive thinking mode.

Fantastic tool to work with children
What do you like best about the product?
It allows students to virtually interact. Our ice breakers in miro leaves us with a feeling of being present in the same room with students. The sticky notes feature makes it easier to move around and at the same time easy to drop in thoughts. The timer feature has helped us to be on our toes during brainstorming. Overall, the infinte board just helps us not to lose any stuff.
What do you dislike about the product?
The bandwidth it consumes. Most of my students get dropped off the zoom call the moment they try to load miro because of the internet bandwidth. A "lite" version would be greatly helpful
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use miro extensively for design sprints. Aboslutely helpful.
One feature that could be added is the voting dots stickers just like stickynotes.

Miro has allowed me to enjoy working remotely and collaborating with different teams
What do you like best about the product?
I love the miroverse! When I'm stuck on how to push ideas or project management, I draw inspiration from the different templates that are categorized/tagged perfectly. Borrowing from ready designs from credible organizations gives me a boost of confidence and creativity.
I also think the Kanban feature on Miro is unique! I've tried other collaborative whiteboards and none yet have integrated this type of feature. In addition, I think the tables on Miro are also packed with functions compared to other whiteboards. While others focus on more visual components, Miro has the same features but packs in functionality as well.

What do you dislike about the product?
At times, my slides I upload on my Miro board don't fully load. This has been problematic when I planned to present using Miro and my audience see pixelated slides.
In addition, since I work in the non-profit space, I think other similar products offer free use of their platforms for accredited non-profits. This is the only reason why the organization I work at uses a competitor over Miro since we can use all features which was particularly helpful in training and working with volunteers.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently, we use Miro to document the strategies, design, and growth of our organization. I'm also using Miro as a whiteboard that I can keep updating for big research projects. Being able to just drop a sticky note in a dedicated space when an idea or an insight pops up has been helpful. In addition, the kanban boards are a unique feature to Miro that its other competitors don't have!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Explore the miroverse and have fun with it! I use it for both collaborative and personal matters. If you're a start-up, I think having one board where everything can just have a space to live and be revisited is really helpful in staying grounded. Oftentimes, when we don't have the opportunity to zoom out, we miss out on a lot of the groundwork we've already laid out and lose sight of the vision.
Miro is amazeballs
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to collaborate in these remote times effectively has been top of mind for our teams. Miro stood out among the various solutions due to its ease of use, its rich feature set, and the beneficial and insightful Miro community.
What do you dislike about the product?
Overall, there's nothing I dislike about it. Very heavy boards can be a little slow at times, but I feel like that is more related to network bandwidth rather than Miro platform performance.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Online/Remote collaboration was the key driver for our investment in Miro. It has definitely aided us to respond more quickly to change and to rapidly align our teams on those changes.
Miro empowers teams to perfectly and seamlessly collaborate in design thinking workshops online
What do you like best about the product?
Platform's flexibility, user experience. Also the possibility of linking all kinds of media and files in the same board.
I found it extremely useful to brainstorm with my team during work-from-home periods.
Additionally, I am using to storyboard books and articles, figuring out everything from timelines to references to storyline and plots.
Finally, I am using with non-creative partners to explore new opportunities in collaborating for sustainability in our communities.

What do you dislike about the product?
I have found no faults to Miro so far.
Only perk I might be happy to see is the ability to make boards private as a free user.
I would love to see it expanding into a fully-integrated tool with zoom, MS teams, google meats, etc.
Also, potentially integrating more advanced prototyping tools.
Still, a great new system that I will use everyday!

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
cross-referencing, large research boards to develop creative thinking and solve complex problems, storyboarding presentations and articles, collaboration of different team members to workshop ideas.
I think that Miro allows teams to explore and cross-reference together over time. When the traffic of information is limited to emails or messaging app teams, they lose the overall picture, while Miro helps them connect the dots and frame the work in the most effective way.

Essential business tool for online collaboration with clients, students and stakeholders.
What do you like best about the product?
We started using Miro out of necessity during COVID and now it is an invaluable tool that our business cannot do without. We use it in our UX consulting and training business to collaborate with clients in remote research and design workshops. We also use it to run our UX training courses online. The templates are great but we have also created our own UX templates. The product is affordable and we love that we can lock down particular boards and share them with specific clients or stakeholders without them seeing our other boards. I would highly recommend it as easy to use and affordable.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be challenging to use without a mouse if you only have a trackpad on your laptop.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Remote collaboration in a COVID world. But we will now also use to collaborate online even after COVID as our clients are often geographically dispersed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Include some support tips in a text box on boards for new users
Great overall whiteboard app - specially usefull working from home
What do you like best about the product?
- Easy user interface.
- Lots of tools and frameworks to use when diagramming
- Ability to collaborate simultaneously with different members on the same board.

What do you dislike about the product?
The role hierarchy is a little confusing in the begging (what is a user, a team, a board). But you eventually get the hang of it.
To collaborate, users must have an account, which is sometimes a barrier when working with someone a first time

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Basically, having the old famous whiteboard do draw stuff since working from home. With the plus of it never being erased down.
It is also very useful when working alone and you need to diagram or draw architetures.

Although being a very useful platform for online collaboration, the pricing gets a little steep as you add users.
Miro is the best digital whiteboard, and it changed the way I, we, and my clients work.
What do you like best about the product?
That I can digitally represent my thoughts to others. Regularly I'm talking with someone and pause to say, "let me open a Miro board and show you what I mean." It's made it possible to have far richer communication with my clients/peers because they're able to SEE what I'm thinking, and thus better understand it.
That, and the digital asset that remains after workshops. It's invaluable to have a well-organized, easy-to-edit, and can't-get-lost-in-someone's-desk asset to review long after meetings happen.

What do you dislike about the product?
I wish Miro made it easier for people who weren't tech-friendly to add things to the board. Also, Miro simply needs to add the ability to create a design system for a board. It's cumbersome to go through and change all colors, fonts, etc. manually—to be able to say "board primary color is #XXXXXX, secondary is #XXXXXXX, H1 text is #####, etc." and then mass edit elements, especially ones that are already "locked" will help Miro compete with Figjam which is quickly going to try to take users.
Also, Miro's dot voting isn't as good as it could and should be.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All kinds of problems, namely through facilitation. Be it for branding a startup, prioritizing a backlog, creating solutions, planning a year out, or anything else, it's impossible to overstate how valuable it is for people to see ideas visually represented, interacted with, and prioritized. It always sparks conversations, provides insight, and leaves people with clarity & momentum.
We've used it to help clients re-map their organizational structure, determine which features are most lucrative for their audience, creating user profiles, held countless retrospectives via dot voting, sentiment analysis, and more, created end of year presentations, and more.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is like a mac, MURAL is like a PC. MURAL may be fine for users, but Miro has clear UX advantages for facilitators. It's far more interesting, dynamic, and peaceful to use. I think that Miro is a great way to become an internal champion of thought. By using Miro yourself, you can create your own canvases, boards, or presentations that will wow your team and leadership. By using edit links, you can get "quick wins" by allowing lots of your team to participate in a workshop without requiring to buy a license. Try it, create something, share it, repeat! You're bound to become an invaluable part of your team with your Miro expertise.
