Miro gives you the power to focus on your challenge, brainstorm to collaborate and jump forward.
What do you like best about the product?
Miro provides a canvas for quickly visualizing challenges, brainstorm ideas, and work with teams to capture, illustrate, document, and jump forward on a project. As a designer, I love that miro does not get in the way, it provides a simple way to grab assets onto a board, add comments, stickies, draw on top of to quickly capture an idea and then share, download or invite a team to view, contribute or provide feedback. I can share a link with a team member and they are able to jump in via a browser, the app, or on a mobile device.
What do you dislike about the product?
When you first jump in, the double click or triple-click that is required to select or switch to an editing mode.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Everything!
Quickly brainstorming a new concept.
Capturing notes during a brainstorming session.
Reviewing concepts and options.
Facilitating design team activities.
Working thru a challenge or idea.

Virtual facilitation without boundaries
What do you like best about the product?
The diverse range of shape tools, icon libraries, video embed options, presentation and facilitation functions make this such a versatile platform. The tool is deep for a workshop facilitator while also being simple enough for the basic first-time uses. The ability to share boards and create co-creation spaces has been a game-changer during COVID and fast-followers like Microsoft have a long way to come to cover this gap.
What do you dislike about the product?
On occasion, performance has been sluggish but this has been improved lately. The lack of public/annonymous boards was an issue before but is now made available. I look forward to the ability to force password use on public boards going forward as a company admin for cyber risk protection. Archiving and board organisation capabilities are limited. Slightly complicated enterprise pricing plan with lacking usage analytics tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Workshop facilitation was a real challenge before. Miro makes it possible to make space and visualise any conversation.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider how you will organise, distribute accountability for administration and archive your documentation as part of your roll-out plans. This has been something we have had to come back to retrospectively to ensure sustainability of our use of the platform.
Miro is a life saver during the virtual collaboration revolution
What do you like best about the product?
I like the very user friendly interface, the good performance even over low bandwidth links, and also the live collaboration of all team members that actually wouldn't be possible on a real life whiteboard or flip chart.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've been using Miro for three months now and i can't think's of a down side so far.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro is definitely helping to collaborate and brainstorm with the team virtually and the good thing is that what we come up with remains there, so we don't have to take photo shots of the whiteboard or take a flip chart with us from a meeting room
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend that users start with the simple features like brainstorming or collaboratively using sticky notes instead of trying with complex advanced templates that might frustrate them. I also strongly recommend registering for one of Miro's live webinars and checkout the different courses on Miro's academy.
Don't try to use all the stencils and tools from the left tool bar all at once from day one, but rather start with a simple canvas and then enhance it as you get more familiar with Miro and its features.
Try to share your Miro experience with your peers and colleagues within your organization and also it's very important to ask for their feedback and knowledge sharing to be able to fully utilize Miro in the right way and for the best purpose that will make everyone's life easier in the organization especially during the new norm and the virtual office life we are all living nowadays.
I would also try to integrate Miro with Microsoft Teams to receive live updates about your board within your Microsoft Teams team space or channel, as it's important to share with the team that you have done an update to the board instead of waiting for them to manually go and check it out

Game changer
What do you like best about the product?
The best part of Miro is that it has allowed my team to continue working collaboratively during COVID-19. Further to this, we have started to go back to the office here in Australia and it turns out I actually prefer using Miro to an actual whiteboard! Less paper, fewer pens, less bother!
What do you dislike about the product?
I cannot think of anything I dislike. Great job :)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaborative design processes.
With Miro we have managed to continue and even increase the collaborative nature of our design process. Designers have all the tools they need to run design thinking sessions and it's been great.

Love it since the early adoption
What do you like best about the product?
I am the early adopter of this lovely product since the early days of realtimeboard.
I really appreciate the amazing working with colleagues
- live and smooth collaboration which assisted so many of our meetings

- the organization about postit (batch and align etc.)
- it makes upload and display multiple format of the files easily

What do you dislike about the product?
- color limitation
- the mind map adjust is very limited (line weight, color fill) which causes me to use other alternative for mindmap
- as the board grows, sometime I really need custmized colors and also our brand colors!
- notes feature could be improved with sections, and dates
- why the blank artboard is always transparent??
- iPad drawing should really copy the gestures from Procreate.
- Soooooo frustrated with the unwanted selection
- zoom in and out the bad display of the artboard name (please do exact with Figma)
- font in the postit has limited size. (NOT enough for power users)
- lack of shortcuts (zooming to the object)
- Cmd +D won't duplicate object as in Illustrator or Figma
- the floating menu by selecting the object sometimes block other objects.
- please allow me to click user's portrait and zoom to his/her view
- wish to change the thumbnail image for the hyperlink
- hard to search in the canvas
- no ways to hide the comment icons on the canvas
- lack of up to date wireframe mocks
- would be nice to improve the richness of icon set
I can still write a lot since I am a huge fan :D

The best tool for remote work productivity
What do you like best about the product?
I use Miro in team meetings and workshops with our clients.
It works very smoothly and has various mechanisms to increase the user's interest.
I think it's worth using Miro for both online and even if your offline workshops.
I also use it as a mind map to organize my personal thoughts.
It encourages collaboration, productivity, and inspiration.

No Japanese language (but does not matter )

Best tool for design sprints
What do you like best about the product?
The user experience and how easy it is to pick up and use
What do you dislike about the product?
The guest mode is limited to paid versions
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have run design sprints tackling how we can raise project awareness to mapping out data flow processes within the business. We have realised easy communication benefits through being able to visualise ideas and concepts.
A great whiteboarding tool for remote teams
What do you like best about the product?
Simple and effective tool. Part of what makes it such a good tool is down to how collaborative of a tool it is to use. for example; i work in a completely remote team in a different country to everyone else. Using this tool it has allowed me the opportunity to use it for retro sessions and we can all put down our thoughts on a post-it and collaborate in real time with what we're thinking and run through details (like in real life).
Having that ability to spread work across a giant page with many different coloured post-its and also using the countdown timer is great as it keeps discussions concise which is exactly what we want.
ability to vote on post-its.

What do you dislike about the product?
A minor thing that Miro could do better is to have a much wider breadth of shapes that make it better for process mapping (though thats not its intended use) ; so that that it has more uses and can really become an all in one product
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Main benefit is the possibility of collaboration whilst everyone is working remotely. As mentioned above; as a team we wouldnt have been able to have work in this way during COVID times if we didnt have this product available.
Additional problems it solves when its being used correctly, are things like facilitating meetings effectively; giving people a chance to vote on ideas and share ideas in such a way that we wouldnt have before (particularly when we are being forced to do workshops remotely).
Personally i would be surprised if most remote teams werent using this or something similar

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Think about what your hoping to get out of a whiteboarding tool. Do you already have a good idea with what you want to achieve if you are using Miro? Ok good then time to get whiteboarding and collaborating in real time
Most efficient way to translate thoughts into visuals
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility Miro gives is literally unlimited. You can do whatever you want, however you want. No rules.
What do you dislike about the product?
Missing deeper integration with Asana and Jira
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Flows, wireframes, mood boards are all done in Miro
It gives us the possibility to move quickly and collaborate efficiently across global teams

I’m afraid I cannot live without Miro
What do you like best about the product?
I love it because it enables me to work cooperatively with customers and colleagues in a simple and intuitive manner - without sacrificing the rich functionality.
What do you dislike about the product?
Figma Integration - It’s something that would be amazing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Multiscreen overview - with the capacity to respond and create around and on the screens, in a way that inspires everyone to express themselves joyfully and intuitively.
