Miro untangled our brainstorm chaos and turned ideas into tangible plans
What do you like best about the product?
I like the way that Miro is our common brain. It has been amazing to visualize customer journeys and find areas that present some friction which we previously had not thought about. It is also the possibility to include various media types that makes our presentations so interesting and more educative to the entire team.
What do you dislike about the product?
At times the massive size of templates alone can be daunting, as you simply seek to hasten a whiteboard. In addition, the control of permissions of very large boards having numerous collaborators becomes a bit fussy and demands additional consideration.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
During our plan on launching our product, we could hardly get all people on the same level. The space that Miro has provided us with has been a major brainstorming, interactive, and dependency visualisation space that has made our entire launch process much more flow and filled with fewer misunderstandings.
All-in-One Collaboration Powerhouse, But Needs Better Pen Support
What do you like best about the product?
Miro provides a suite of features that are not only well developed and intuitive to use, but all located in one place, making the use of multiple different services and utilities far easier, faster and efficient. Implementing and especially integrating different tools to create comprehensive works that can be easily referred to, and crucially, referred to multiple times without the need for multiple different open applications or keystrokes, is one of the main reasons I utilize Miro and believe it to be the best white-boarding app. Miro's ability to sync to multiple devices means it also serves me well when I need to use it in different places, when I'm really busy and can't access my laptop, or for a quick check for a piece of information.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only noticeable downside I have noticed comes as a result of my line of work in particular. This is the explicit lack of a proper pen writing experience, with stroke based erasure and pen sensitivity.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro solves my problem of having a white-boarding/ mind mapping application that I can not only use on the go (with mobile devices or computers) but use as my daily driver for mind-mapping, idea planning, visual-aids, study planning and information collection as well as team collaboration. The most beneficial part of Miro is thus it's multi-tasking potential.
Intuitive and Easy, But Needs More Flexibility for Complex Mind Maps
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is simple to use, with a very intuitive user interface. It also offers some basic templates to help you get started. I find it challenging to switch from Miro to other tools, as they tend to have a steeper learning curve, but using Miro itself feels straightforward.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't much to complain about, but I do find that it sometimes lacks the flexibility that Figjam offers. For example, when I tried to create a mind map, I couldn't move my pointers in different directions. As the mind map grows larger, it also becomes harder to follow and understand.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This tool helps me create user flows, which in turn makes it much easier for me to detail and explain them to my engineering team. Without a mind map or user flow, it's very difficult to cover all possible cases, but with this, I'm able to do so effectively.
Fantastic Online Whiteboard for Brainstorming, Minor Lag and Automation Issues
What do you like best about the product?
Non destructive online white board, great for brainstorming, creating diagrams and small project management, as well as keeping art references organised. It's like combining pureref and excalidraw. And then syncing it online.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes there are laggy instances such as when using the "timeline" feature in a large database. There are little automisation options, for example to make tasks assign their own color, or dragging people to assign tasks doesn't always work. The AI functions are also basically worthless but I don't feel like they could contribute much anyways.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro holds our game design document, as well as art inspiration and project management for the games and other productions we make.
Useful for collaborative and interactive tutoring lessons
What do you like best about the product?
I use Miro for tutoring, and I think it's super helpful for developing interactive lesson plans for students. Being able to work on the same board and allow students to mark up questions using the pen and highlighter tools provides me with a lot of insight into their thought processes and helps us work collaboratively towards breaking down and answering questions and refining approaches.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm honestly unsure. The only negative experience I've had with Miro was the site not working during the AWS outage, but obviously I don't blame the site for that event. I admittedly don't use Miro for a terribly wide range of functions, but it serves the function I use it for rather well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's solving the problem of finding a space to break down questions visually and collaboratively with students, which serves me in my work as a tutor.
Great for Visual Thinkers, But Feature Bloat Is a Drawback
What do you like best about the product?
As a visual thinker, this tool really assists me in working through complex ideas.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are so many features that I never actually use, and it feels like the software is becoming overloaded with unnecessary options. It's definitely starting to suffer from feature bloat.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Group ideation sessions around a wide range of different topics.
Great for Organizing Info, But Custpmo manageromization and Board Control Need Work
What do you like best about the product?
It gives me a chance to keep all my information about an area in one place without having to find multiple files
What do you dislike about the product?
The limited ability to customize with tour own shapes and colors.

Miro: A Versatile Canvas for Creative Projects
What do you like best about the product?
I truly appreciate how Miro simplifies my workflow, especially in visualizing development work, which makes it easier for my team to plan and collaborate. The ability to maintain an array of topics on the same board without disrupting other sections is incredibly beneficial. I find Miro's intuitive interface commendable; while learning all the functionalities might have a learning curve, spending time with it opens up a world of possibilities as much of it feels intuitive. The templates are a great starting point, and the iconography adds clarity to the features. The post-it notes feature is particularly useful, as it allows team members to provide feedback in a manner where everyone knows who it's from. I love how it acts as a blank canvas, empowering users to create any visual guide necessary to support the team’s goals, whether it be enemy behavior trees or story outlines for game development. Miro's seamless integration with tools like Confluence and JIRA significantly improves my workflow by allowing focused Miro board visuals to be displayed without the need for additional windows. Overall, the creativity and flexibility that Miro offers give our task planning more character, setting it apart from more rigid tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
I initially found the learning curve for Miro to be a bit challenging as I was learning all of the functionality that the boards offer. The zoom/scrolling feature confused me at first, as the default setting for the middle button on the mouse was not intuitive for my use, making navigation cumbersome until I adjusted it. I also wish there were more shortcuts available to jump to specific parts of a Miro board more efficiently rather than having to zoom out and zoom back in, which can be time-consuming.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro solves planning issues, making collaboration easier by allowing simultaneous work on the same board without conflicts. It's accessible in real time, intuitive, and supports creative visual guides, aiding developers by simplifying complex information.
Versatile, Collaborative, and Perfect for Small Teams
What do you like best about the product?
Miro’s flexibility is one of its greatest strengths. The boards are incredibly versatile, allowing multiple people to contribute and collaborate in real time. Our company uses it as a simple project tracker that we project in our studio space. If anyone has a question about the status of their project, it's readily available to them. So, essentially, we use Miro every day. I also really appreciate that the free version includes enough functionality for small teams like ours to use it effectively without having to immediately upgrade to a paid plan. It’s a great way to get started with collaborative whiteboarding.
What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest drawback I’ve experienced with the free version is how sharing works. When I tried to share a board with an external client, it gave access to all of our team’s content instead of just the one board. I had to quickly revoke access, which was frustrating. It would be much better if selective sharing (the ability to share individual boards without exposing the entire workspace) was available even in the free version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro helps keep our project statuses easily accessible for everyone. We use Wrike as our primary project management software, but have found there is not a good way to see projects at a glance. Miro allows us to update the team on our projects in real time and in one place so they don't have to search for the particular project.
We also use Miro for brainstorming and mind-mapping on complex projects. My company does a weekly brainstorm, where the entire team comes together on Thursday to contribute their ideas to a new project. Miro is a great space to organize and categorize all of those thoughts.

Great all-around tool for visual collaboration and client work
What do you like best about the product?
I love how intuitive and easy to use Miro is. It makes collaboration feel seamless, whether it’s brainstorming, building workflows, or mapping out complex processes. The customization options are great, allowing you to create and adapt boards for a wide range of purposes, from quick mind maps to detailed process documentation. It’s one of those tools that makes teamwork genuinely more productive and enjoyable. Miro helps me bring structure and clarity to complex projects, both internally and with clients. I use it to build mindmaps, workflows, and process maps that make it easy for teams to visualize how everything connects. Because a big part of my work involves presenting solutions and walking customers through proposed designs, Miro makes that process pretty easy. I can quickly turn ideas into something visual and collaborative. It’s especially useful for planning across departments or client accounts, where I can share boards, gather feedback in real time, and refine solutions on the spot.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the import options were more flexible. It’d be great to bring in external data, like CSVs or spreadsheets, in order to automatically build mindmaps or process maps instead of having to recreate everything manually. I’ve also noticed that once boards get large or have a lot of collaborators, performance can slow down a bit. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it does make working on complex project boards more of a handoff rather than a real-time collab. Overall, these aren’t huge issues, but they’d make an already great tool even more powerful and efficient to use day to day.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro to define and improve client processes, and it’s become one of my go to tools for visual collaboration. A lot of my work involves mapping out CRM designs, building customer journey flows, and creating or refining data models. Before Miro, keeping everything aligned across different teams and clients was a task of its own. Diagrams and brain dumps would live in separate files/drives, and feedback loops dragged on forever. With this tool, I can pull everything into a single board, walk clients through proposed solutions in real time, and make changes on the spot. It’s so much easier for everyone.
