Versatile Whiteboard for many use cases
What do you like best about the product?
I love most to get easily started with Miro. Just create a board and put notes, or boxes on it. Add text, or images from the web, connect your objects. And do it in realtime with your friends and colleagues. There are a lot of templates to choose from that get you started even quicker. Need to do a retrospective? A brainstorming? A business plan? Miro might have just the template for you.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the handling hof objects and navigating across the board gets a little confusing. For instance, scrolling the mouse wheel is zooming. Sometimes people move objects instead of dragging themselves across the screen. In rare occasions it's hard to select an object for moving it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I started with doing schemas and relationship models. I'm a very visual guy, and work best if I see things right in front of me. That way I can make my best decisions. I use it in remote sessions and discussions for quickly explaining my points of view, or to spontaneously go into a short round of information gathering. After the meeting I can easily share the results with everyone so everybody is on the same page. Session notes? Quickly done with Miro.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you consider using Miro you may want to browse the big catalogue of templates. Select one that suits you and start creating your first virtual whiteboard. Next, use the share button to invite a friend or colleague, and improve your board collaboratively.
Great Tool for Collaboration and Creativity
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is really easy to use. The onboarding of new users is easy and even supported by handsome tutorials. The feature set seems to be streamlined and is not overwhelming. I like the concept of frames to cluster content and guide visitors. Miro puts a lot of effort in gathering user feedback.
Boards are very easy to share even with people that do not have a Miro account.

What do you dislike about the product?
There only very little drawbacks. Sometimes the connection lacks. On some days there are frequent but short disconnectionss. Some complex features are not perfect yet (e.g. handling of objects in tables is sometimes ... let's call it surprising).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro solves a lot of the problems that arise from our Corona induced dislocation where we can not assembly in front of a physical whiteboard. It fosters collaboration on complex and not well structured topics. I like to sketch down my thoughts on white boards and I appreciate very much to have an infinite one now.
It helps our remote team think as if we're together.
What do you like best about the product?
It has an infinite canvas to hold our ideas, and allows a considerable amount of creativity without being held up by a lack of tools.
It lets me extend my thinking and then share it with others for their feedback and suggestions, and as a visual person it's super valuable to me.

What do you dislike about the product?
I like the plugins a lot (icon-finder, etc) but there could be more icons, and the wireframing tool could be more extensive.
Weirdly, sometimes the text will write backwards...? Other than that, I love the app version more than the browser one, but my team is often happier in the browser version.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have colossal system diagrams we have to produce, mapping technology in the commercial fishing industry. It's impossible to describe the sector verbally, and writing it doesn't work either, so we have to show it visually to discuss what we're doing as a company adequately.
We also use it for planning grant applications, and some basic wireframing.

Excellent for collaboration - especially working with remote teams.
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to use Miro as a fully registered user or as a guest. The interface is excellent and really intuative.
I use the iconfinder feature quite alot - previously i would use Visio for diagramming and you'd be stuck with the same icons - it's nice to add a bit of a personal touch to your work.
Another one of my favourite features to use - are the built in templates. So you can use pre-made templates to complete retrospectives, or create Lean Coffee or Kanban boards - this is probably my most used feature within Miro. There's loads of templates to choose to from which look like they've been built by Miro or the Miro community.

What do you dislike about the product?
i previously used the web based version of Miro with the Google Chrome browser. I found that this combination was a real memory hog.
In an attempt to fix this, i decded to download the desktop app for Miro. This was a real game changer as the desktop app runs smoothly and doesn't take up quite alot of my memory/cpu usage. If i find my laptop does struggle to cope - then i usually close Miro when im not actively using it or presenting.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used Miro before the pandemic struck - but since we're all working remotely at the minute its really easy to walk my stakeholders through process steps. I've recently started a new role and Miro has helped me convey new business ideas and processes with ease.
We've recently starting having Community days too within my team and organisation. Miro helps us collaborate when we can't be in the office together.

I'd watch some Youtube videos if you're not sure. I attended a webinar which was hosted by Miro on how to effectively use their application and it was brilliant - i already thoguht i knew how to use it until i watched this!
Best digital whiteboard for remote trainings and workshops
What do you like best about the product?
Since a lot of people is working from home, I needed to switch my way of working as well. Now, leading remote trainings and workshops is my daily business. What I missed the most at the beginning was the possibility to activate everybody during the training sessions. I tested several digital whiteboards and then decided to use Miro, because I'm missing not one feature and my customers are getting familiar with the tool in five minutes. It is fun and it is very professional at the time. I'm preparing my boards in advance, storing them as a template, so I can use them several times.
Miro is the reason why not only I love remote workshops but I even prefer them to classroom trainings now.
After the training, I download the board as a pdf and send it to my customers, instead of the photo protocol that was usually sent out before.
By the way - several of my customers use Miro for their daily teamwork after having worked with me on a Miro board.

What do you dislike about the product?
Believe me, in one year of using Miro, I did not find things I dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using Miro for participant activation, presenting slides, brainstorming, summarizing, prioritizing, etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are working with several customers, it may be usefull to take the consultant plan to assure the privacy of every customer.
Best tool for interdisciplinary collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
The ability for different teams to collab.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some minor issues working with trackpad.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro is the best tool our design agency has discovered so far to connect different teams for collaboration. We are using it throughout our process from brainstorming to client presention, delivering content to IT or even presenting ideas inside our team and externally. It has really simple and intuitive user interface which is easy to use. Hassle free invitations for board viewing, edition and account creation is a great feature – it allows stakeholders to seamlessly join and collaborate. We've tested Miro in multiple usages scenarios, on one occasion there was about 30 users connected to the board, working simultaneously without any glitches!
Most prominent part of our daily work that Miro has made much easier to do is participatory design. It's a process when multiple stakeholders have to particpate in workshops in real time. Talking, writing, making flowcharts, sticky-noting, etc. It has been a struggle for facilitators to work with multiple people via Keynote and conference calls, but since we've transferred to Miro, this process has been greatly improved.
For me, Miro greatest benefit is the ability to seamlessly connect different teams: strategists, designers, copywriters, programers and even engage clients to participate in the process. I am using Miro for designing flowcharts, brainstorming and copywriting, but have even tried basic sketching, successfully. It has opened new possibilities for new team working models.

If you need to collaborate with different stakeholders, teams, departaments, etc. Miro is the best tool for it
Miro helped us to switch from offline to online during hard times in a breeze
What do you like best about the product?
Collaboration in real times with multiple people. Seeing what everybody is doing. Following what somebody is doing on the board.
Having access to templates to facilitate all kinds of meetings. And not to forget: infinite canvas!

What do you dislike about the product?
wish you could somehow integrate video meetings better. Would love an integration within a zoom or teams meeting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Brainstorming with teams in a digital setting is nr. 1. With that I don't just mean getting new ideas on a board, but even visualising and supporting online group discussions. Making a simple scheme of a proces, showing it to the team and the ability for everyone to add and adjust it to get a complete picture that everybody agrees on.
What also is really helpfull is the fact that you engage people a lot more during digital meetings. You can stimulate people not just to sit and talk, but actively get involved on the board.

The best online collaboration tool for workshops, trainings, meetings, ideation!
What do you like best about the product?
Plenty of tools and features! It has a wide range of usability, it is great for engaging the participants of workshops and trainings. Great tool to visualize the content that is being talked about. Ability to connect also websites, other softwares etc. And I love I can use Miro on iPad and draw in it/write in it with Apple Pencil.
What do you dislike about the product?
complexity of the features, not that easy to learn to use it - new users have troubles quickly navigating around - in case they do not get a guided onboarding to Miro. Integration within MS Teams - it would be great if it would be embedded in the Teams calls so that we do not have to swith to the browser/app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
brainstorming, retrospective, sharing training materials, running workshops on various topics, mapping processes, mapping progress, visualization of discussed topics, links to other resources, ice-breakers, engagement tool during large meetings, innovations, onboarding, getting a "temperature" check of how people feel in the organization, getting anonymous feedback from the employees, agenda planning
Essential in my day to day
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to share my work in real time
What do you dislike about the product?
Not having the opportunity to use ruler and guides
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In my team, we work with people in different locations and it is great to be able to share all the information regarding the projects with them and see what each person has changed at all times.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro makes meetings more productive and fun, workshops can be organized or processes monitored, it is an ideal tool for organizing and sharing projects and ideas.
The most seamless digital collaboration experience!
What do you like best about the product?
Miro understands the need for a digital whiteboard and collaboration tool. How information needs to be organised, how people will interact and collaborate to get to outcomes, structures and visual representation of data that needs to be put together to get there. Not only understanding and providing a set of tools to help you get there, but also allowing the community to contribute with templates and different experiences that other teams can reuse. The continuous improvements added to the tool, like the recent timer with background music, show that the Miro is evolving and responding to customer needs at the right pace.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are not enough colours for post-it notes which sometimes can limit your options. The timer extension (add a minute) sometimes does not work or resets the timer to the original count.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro helps me solve complex facilitation around business rules, team retrospectives, visual management board solutions, visual representation of organizational structures, decision-making, hierarchies of work. The realized benefits are enhanced understanding of what is being discussed, the ability for introverts and extroverts to have a say, enhanced collaboration, and divide-and-conquer type of work.
