I appreciate Miro for its ease of use right from the initial setup, which was extremely easy for both me and my team. The ability to seamlessly zoom in and out while working on the canvas is a standout feature that elegantly solves a common problem I face with software design tools. I also value Miro's robust collaboration features, which enhance teamwork by allowing me to easily tag colleagues and share diagrams. Additionally, the integration between Miro and Slack enriches the teamwork experience by ensuring effective communication and workflow. Overall, Miro significantly aids in sharing and adjusting diagrams and documenting their evolution, offering a comprehensive platform for my software architecture work.

What do you dislike about the product?

I find the search functionality across multiple boards in Miro to be inadequate. It becomes challenging to locate relevant materials when I can't remember which board they are on.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Miro helps me share and adjust software diagrams easily, document their evolution, and collaborates seamlessly with peers through great tagging and canvas features.

What do you like best about the product?

I love Miro's intuitive features that enhance my work processes significantly. The icon library is fantastic for someone like me who lacks artistic skills, as it allows me to visually express my ideas to developers effectively. The use of tags on cards is instrumental during workshops to organize and link ideas and concepts seamlessly, saving valuable time by consolidating concepts without manually recreating boards. Additionally, Miro's ability to handle images and attachments efficiently along with providing a robust collaboration environment makes it stand out. I find Miro to be quicker, easier to use, and more user-friendly compared to other tools like Lucidchart, which ultimately prompted the switch due to its simplicity and advantageous licensing model. The initial setup process was very easy and simple, further enhancing its accessibility and usability. Miro genuinely deserves a high recommendation, and I'd rate it a full 10 for its capabilities.

What do you dislike about the product?

I find Miro lacking in the ability to create entity relationship diagrams (ERDs). There's another software I use that allows me to run a piece of SQL on my database and import the resulting image, which then creates an ERD in real-time. This functionality is something I wish Miro had.

What do you dislike about the product?

I find the zoom in and out feature or scaling of the boards in Miro confusing. I'm not sure what the appropriate size is, and I worry if it will display consistently across different monitors. Sometimes when I log in, the boards are either way too big or small. I also don't like that I can't tell when the board has been updated without me logging in, however I have not tried to trouble shoot that.

Sometimes the complexity and breath of tools make it difficult to know what tool I should use or how to use them

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am able to host design, thinking sessions and workshops with this tool, as well as brainstorm on my own as a place to compile all of my thoughts and documents and research relevant to a project

What do you like best about the product?

The ability to select different sources directly on the board and then generate not only very precisely defined texts based on prompts, but also to use numerous formats specifically offered by Miro, such as stickies, is something I particularly like.

What do you dislike about the product?

I would wish for frames to dynamically adjust and grow with the added content. It sometimes bothers me how it is regulated whether content "sticks" to the frame or not. The grouping function makes many things unnecessarily complicated and often leads to confusion. I would prefer if content placed in a frame automatically sticks to it and can only be moved within the frame. When you then move the frame, all the contained content is taken along. If you want to detach content from the frame, it should only be possible with an additional key combination – otherwise, only the frame's border is extended.

In this context, I would find it helpful to have a mode where content cannot overlap but instead shifts and makes space for each other. This way, you could dynamically insert content into a frame that automatically adjusts in size. Within the frame, you could then change the arrangement without having to select much.

Speaking of selecting: When I click and hold to switch to the item selector mode, I can select and move or modify content very well. You have to figure it out first, but once you understand it, it works wonderfully. However, what I would really wish for: When I am in selector mode and already drawing a frame, I should be able to move the position of the frame while holding the space bar – without changing the dimensions – while holding the mouse button. This is possible in almost all design tools, even in Canva, and this is probably my biggest pain point because I constantly stumble over the fact that it doesn't work in Miro.

Another point that might be covered with the new AI pipelines in the next update: I would like to have the option to predefine where the AI output should be placed. For this, it would also be helpful if frames were dynamic in their dimensions and could shift each other.

Another point that you probably hear often: The ability to zoom in and out of the canvas leads to chaotic situations despite a stable strategy. I try to size content so that 100% corresponds to about a real DIN-A4 page. But even frameworks provided by Miro are often not adjusted to this 100% rule upon import, which leads to a lot of clicking around until everything is in the right size ratio. I have a few approaches in mind for this, but nothing as concrete as with the other ideas.

And one more thing: I urgently need a shortcut to create a frame around the currently selected objects on the board with a key combination. Going into the context menu every time and selecting it manually is tedious – especially because I work a lot with different frames, name them properly, and then use them in my prompts.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Transforming qualitative data from interviews and collaborative brainstorming into quantitative data and then dynamically organizing it is something I manage particularly well with Miro. I find it especially helpful when I first convert the rather chaotic data into a table and then use it to generate new content or directly create Miro cards, which I can then arrange individually.

However, one limitation I notice is that I unfortunately cannot add newly acquired qualitative data to an existing table via a prompt. I hope this will change with future AI pipelines. What bothers me the most, though, is that the first column defined in the AI output in the table is always adopted as the header of the Miro card. This is particularly annoying because it would actually be exciting to create different representations of the same table, showing different excerpts from the same data source with different filters and arrangements. When you then create a Miro card from a "child table," where a completely different aspect is in the foreground, and it does not carry the table theme as its name—even though you specifically set this as the first column—many of the usage possibilities that such a workflow could offer, for example in the design thinking process, are immediately lost.

What do you like best about the product?

The prototyping feature in Miro is truly a game changer. It allows you to turn static notes and flow diagrams into interactive prototypes, making it much easier to present ideas to stakeholders. This not only helps to visualize concepts more clearly but also facilitates starting meaningful conversations about them.

What do you dislike about the product?

Miro docs would benefit from supporting additional markdown features, like tables.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Miro allows me to think visually in an open, unstructured space, which really helps my creative process. Later, I can easily organize all my thoughts once I have everything laid out.

What do you like best about the product?

I love that I can share my ideas with the team and, based on a screenshot of the current view, create a prototype in just a few minutes. This saves me a lot of time when working with developers and designers.

What do you dislike about the product?

Sometimes the prototype differs significantly from the current view of my application. However, I hope it improves within a few months.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Thanks to Miro, I can show my idea to the team instead of writing a long description of it. Moreover, I can do it with Miro in just a few minutes.
