Finally I can collect my thougts at the same time as creating material ready for presentations!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the eternal desk and the focus on collaboration. Also getting icons and google pics into the tool is fantastic. And that one can drag PPT and other material into the desk is awesome, you can then both have research and produce in the same view.
What do you dislike about the product?
Hard to export selected frames to Powerpoint. It would be nice to move the graphical elements into a pptx editable file to share to others. The pricing strategy for private use is a too pricey and also by accident I added people to my team to a huge cost, so for personal use I am thinking of stop using it because of the price point. Half the price would be OK (i bough consultant license).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It lets many people work together in creative mode and also be engaged. The value of that is HUGE!
A very versatile tool. Excelent for teamworking, ideation and brainstorming
What do you like best about the product?
The variety of tools that can help you to create things, to easily express your ideas to your team. I can copy a page-link or a screenshot and even draw uppon it. I can also integrate many tools or other programs with Miro, like Slack, Teams, Azure, Google Drive, OneDrive, GitHub, Notion and more. One of the best things about it, is that I can easily use all these tools in one page. I can copy a page link in Miro and my teammates can draw over the image of the page, use arrows to link it to another text or even another page. This can create a very interesting flow for ideation or even to discuss about ideas.
I also like to use arrows, screenshots and manual drawings to organize some flows on computer design problens. I am the kind of person who has many ideas, but sometimes it's hard for me to express to my teammates. With miro, I can draw, I can write, I can do lots of things to express my ideas in the best way. Also, they can comment on specific points (on a draw, or on a text, etc). This is very helpful to create discussions.

What do you dislike about the product?
On free version, you need to be careful about who you invite to your boards, because they'll have access to all others, even if you don't want them to do so. Also,
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I usually use it to work together with my team, in different projects. In one of them, we use card's to create a organization chart and we zoom it to add info's as text. On another project, we use many tools to do brainstorming, ideation, planning, etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Please, take a look at YouTube. There you have many videos showing how to use diferent tools. There are many possibillities for using it.
The beauty of a blank canvas
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Miro has a bucketload of templates which you can use ... but even more I love that Miro is a blank canvas that lets you create whatever you want in whatever way you want. From event programs, to look books, flow charts and marketing plans ... Miro can be whatever I need it to be.
What do you dislike about the product?
There really isnt anything I don't like about Miro. It does what I need, when I need. I really can't imagine not using the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I love that Miro works for all types of brains. From the wordy to the visual, we can adapt Miro to suit our needs. It really is that simple.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just do it. Give it a go. It won't disappoint.
Couldn't recommend it enough
What do you like best about the product?
It's very rare that a tool can do many things well, and I can confidently say that MIRO's this tool for me, my team, and colleagues. It's great for distributed team collaboration, mind-mapping, all activities needed for design thinking, prioritisation, workshops, and the list goes on. It's a blank canvas and it allows me to express my ideas so easily. The help me articles, customer support, and people I engage with from the company are always so helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
I worked at an enterprise bank and it would be great to have enough controls or information regarding where the information/data is stored for our security partners to fully allow our teams to be onboarded in an enterprise level.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Whole product development cycle. I've realized it's great to share them with people so we can contribute to solutions/approaches asynchronously.
Great for both remote teams and for ad-hoc workshops
What do you like best about the product?
Smooth and snappy interface, especially when using the native app (I'm on a Mac). Just the small things as the keyboard shortcuts to switch between tools, or the inline help to align and distribute objects, allows for swift editing.
Zooming in and out and navigating the board is also significantly smoother than competing solutions. Also, when inviting external users to an ad-hoc workshop, there's no obtrusive on-boarding needed. Most users get the concept without any instructions, and Miro does a great job adapting navigation automatically to the user's device.

What do you dislike about the product?
Plans and pricing can be confusing at times. It isn't always clear which plan suits different use cases.
One limitation when you invite external user to an ad-hoc workshop is that they can't name themselves. When working together they'll see each others cursors but not who's who.
The one detail within the tool itself that I find most annoying is when you're working with locked objects. If I as a host of a workshop draw a filled shape and then lock it, participants can still 'focus' the object by clicking on it. This breaks the expected behavior "double clicking anywhere on the canvas will create a sticky-note".

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using Miro both for internal projects togehter with colleagues as well as external clients in different teams. Since the boards are so "big", I usually fit one project per board. This makes it easy to track the progress in the project, or revisit your previous steps to find new ideas.
Essential Work Tool for Early Product Thinking
What do you like best about the product?
My 100% remote team struggled for a long time to find a collaborative whiteboarding/brainstorming tool. Then we found Miro, and it was quickly adopted across the whole team -- engineering, product, design, customer success, & business development. It's easy to use for freeform brainstorming, and its collaborative features are fantastic. I like how we can mix text, images, shapes, and free-form drawings. Overall it's a great tool
What do you dislike about the product?
Very large boards can be difficult to understand and digest. Other than that, it's a wonderful tool
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We primarily use Miro for collaborative whiteboarding & brainstorming, though individuals often use it for early ideation and mapping of complex ideas. In our work, we often collaborate with subject matter experts in the field of building design, and we use Miro to capture learnings from them as well
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Personally, I find it easier to use Miro with a dedicated mouse and a large external screen instead of a laptop trackpad
Far exceeded my expectations
What do you like best about the product?
Our team has tried many different interactive platforms for collaboration but Miro's seemingly infinite workspace has really been transformative for us as a team. In addition, I have found Miro to be incredibly useful for my own mindmapping, brainstorming, and 'tidbit' collecting. For the most part, if you need something, there is a template for it, but the golden ticket is that you always have a completely blank canvas to create something from scratch if need be.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have had some issues with losing content through "blips". Needing to backup to a local drive is a bit of a challenge and not something intuitive given that the interaction is cloud-based. This has only resulted in a major issue once when I lost an entire board, but I have had other instances as well - most recently when a colleague accidentally deleted a section of a board we were collaborating on and then was unable to undo the action.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Capturing those wild thought patterns that occur when trying to problem-solve or when you hit a creative streak. It is so easy to lose some of the more tangential ideas that may not be relevant today but could be useful to jot down for later. Having everything in one location in miro is easier to track back to than a traditional journal. It also has really helped our team work collaboratively in a virtual environment. We also work globally and have worked through a meeting and then shared the miro board with colleagues in other timezones to comment on/continue adding to during their workday.
The team tool we didn’t know we missed
What do you like best about the product?
First tried put Miro 4 months ago - and also had my team come play with it. Now it's our go-to software for almost anything - projects, workshops, assessments, research, innovation, action plans, charity projects and even birthdays ;) It is your unlimited pinboard that helps structure complexity collaboratively, invite creativity, enable flexible collaboration, also non syncronous, and captures the process without much further work.
What do you dislike about the product?
It almost allows for any kind of file to be copy-pasted on to the board However for videos we need to upload them to youtube first to be able to bring them into miro. But hey it's very rare that you have a piece of software like this that you just can't do without in a very short time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows us to have everything around a project on one place that we can all access. Also it helps bring real value to online workshops to have this as the collaborative platform when meeting on zoom or in teams. We just get a lot more done. And it's all captured instantly.
Transformed how well we work collaboratively while remote working
What do you like best about the product?
Miro Academy - it is simple to learn the system and to train newbies with ease. I learned the tool very quickly and have found my team all had very few issues getting up and running. Generally very intuitive, with a fantastci interface for tools, the main board and navigation of where you are on the board.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes easy to move things in error (learn how to use 'lock' feature!)
Had to to play around to learn how 'frames' work in terms of whether deleting frames impacts the content within it (it doesn't!) Sometimes have issues making sure I have selected all content to move from one place to another. Have occasionally left behind some locked items that were not easy to spot were locked into position

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working remotely, it's wonderful to have a virtual whiteboard we can all see and contribute to. And no transcribing from Post-Its to online platforms! Allows us to run workshops easily with all parties working from home. And the fact it's (kind of) 'infinite' means it's easy to store a lot of useful project info in a single place, easily accessible via "frames' to get to where you need to go on the board quickly. We use our board every day!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easy to learn via Miro Academy, when some features are not fully intuitive. I learned the basics very quickly. And as you can start with a no-cost trial, you can give it a go risk-free. I have a bunch of Miro fans on my project!
One of the best tools for remote collaborations, brainstorms and group dynamics.
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ready-made Templates, where you can find and use well-designed layouts that will amaze your audience. And I love the possibility to see other people's cursor, where they are, and what they are doing. It's like being God's feeling: you are omnipresent and omniscient.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the price is expensive pricing for freelancers and lonely professionals. Sometimes we need only a single-day use, due to our class assignments or clients' needs. So, one suggestion is, instead of a monthly payment, the possibility to have a pay-per-use. When we talk about features and stuff, I have no complaints at all. The Miro team has put together a very well-designed software and mobile app. I highly recommend it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I make people who watch my lectures interact together and LEAN FORWARD, being more active instead of just leaving the camera open and listening to the content I'm presenting. I love to make people work with each other, and they seem to have no difficulty at all, even if this is their very first use.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would stop looking around and give it a try to use Miro for your team or clients.
This software is designed in a way that, even before you knew you would need something, they already have the answer. They have templates, stable and fast infra, tons of features that make your task easy to be done.
Go ahead. Use it and be happy.
