So good for whiteboarding that we use Miro even when we have an actual whiteboard in the room
What do you like best about the product?
Seamless collaboration, no different from if you were really in a room with the other people on the board. Easy to see what your colleagues are seeing. Intuitive to navigate even a large board with hundreds of elements, not much lag, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
iPad and iPhone experiences leave much to be desired – slow and it's painful to try to direct the software to understand if you're moving an item or trying to move yourself. Also, I think you definitely need an external mouse to use Miro because using a trackpad for it hurts my entire hand (and soul). But honestly – Miro is still the best out there. I tried a competitor (Lucidspark) last week just out of curiosity, and it was so awful to use that it sent me fleeing back to Miro within a day.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro is the best for breaking down any complicated problem in life. I've used Miro to figure out everything from a software platform (for work) to a new app for a fitness studio (for a friend) to outlining a novel and deciding how to hunt for a house (personal projects). Half an hour on the board helps everyone get their unspoken assumptions out in the open for more effective problem-solving. Love the large template library – some of my favourites include the User Story Map and 2x2 matrix.
Best collaborative online workshop tool
What do you like best about the product?
Amidst the Pandemic, Miro has become our go-to tool to conduct online workshops with our clients, featuring 20-30 participants. I like that the design is it's quite simple and intuitive to use and has all the functionally for a workshop (and they keep on adding to it). We started using it for Journey Mapping workshops but have since used it for various other occasions. Interactions with the support staff were also of good quality. They were very fast to respond and address your questions.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are still some functionality improvements that can be made but I see that they are introducing new features almost daily. For example, yesterday I found myself trying to make the size of existing shapes to be identical but couldn't do it so I put a new shape and started from scratch. There was also some limitation to the number of votes people could get and a few other small things. I felt the support team was not that eager to learn about those but as I said they are making daily improvements.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Conducting a remote collaborative workshop. It's perfect for our needs. There are of course many other uses for it i.e. Journey Mapping, mind mapping, process-visualizations and you name it...
Good for collaboration. wfh, remote collaboration. Need more templates
What do you like best about the product?
The kanban board, the frames, the icon library, history checking and comments
What do you dislike about the product?
I cannot import my LUMA template within an existing board. Creating a template from scratch is fine but importing into an existing board is impossible.
It becomes a bit laggy when there are too many items on the board. It can be laggy when using miro on a vpn internal network
copy and paste is weird that I can only use ctrl c/v to copy paste. the copy paste sometimes does not paste what I copied on my working document
Miro does not allow me to import excel sheets into a table
Wish there was a way to group boards into projects within the same team

Powerfull and simple to use virtual white board
What do you like best about the product?
Very intuitive to use and with a lot of tools. Also, a good plethora of external integrations makes it even more helpful.
I also like the voting option, and the adition of the possibility of music during the time is also a small but great idea.
The possibility to organize several boards in projects makes it easier to navigate once we have a lot of boards.
The jira integration is great not only to create user story mappings but also to create tickets in jira after a brainstorm session or after a retro.
Another thing that I like a lot is the miroverse where we can find a lot of templates to use and also share easily our template with others.
The reply time from their support and the time to fix issues when I tried it was also very good and exceeded my expectations

What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing model is a bit expensive, although the possibility of public editing and sharing with a password helps a bit.
It also tends to be a bit more hungry and doesn't cope well when you have too many small elements in one boards, making it rather sluggish

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used it mostly for team collaboration, visual facilitation, asynchronous communication and visual note-taking.
It allows for good team collaboration and everyone is at ease working with it.
It helped quite a lot facilitating remote meetings since it made visible what we where talking about

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use first the free version to try it out. There's also a trial version that allows us to experiment the paid features.
If you plan to use it with huge whitboards with a lot of small objects be sure that your PC has 16 Gb of memory

Breaking the PowerPoint Addiction
What do you like best about the product?
The zoomability of all features is amazing. Zoom in, zoom out, repeat, it' s always clear. The tools are intuitive and flexible. I love utilizing templates and sticky notes, and making the end results "my own." I often convert my work into quick frames or presentations that can be shared with my clients in seconds.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I spend a lot of time clicking to get the cursor I want. I wish there were better templates for making lists.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly, I am solving the problem of BORING, TEDIOUS, ONE-SPEAKER TALKING HEAD PRESENTATIONS. I am on a mission to break the addiction to PowerPoint and the way it shoehorns us otherwise capable professionals into the status quo. My clients deserve interactive presentations that unleash and include everyone. I'm an org dev/project manager/strategy person and graphics are not my thing...but you can't tell with Miro because my presentations are beautiful and easy to dive into.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro will make you look like a genius. What more do you need?!
Extremely versatile piece of kit
What do you like best about the product?
It's incredibly easy to collaborate on pages with your team, which is great for me because my startup is made up of my two co-founders and I; they both live in Birmingham while I live in London. It has also helped me to map out the key priorities for me as head of the business. It's great to have an infinite amount of space to work with to help get everything out of my head and down in front of me!
What do you dislike about the product?
There are probably a lot of great use cases for Miro which haven't been highlighted enough. If they were then I could stop using other tools and bring more of the companies operations into one place.
Another thing that I dislike is that some of the templates aren't flexible enough. For example, the mind map template is a little bit clunky when trying to organize all the different strands of the map. You can't make the subject of a strand very close to that of another strand and you end up with a mind map which is very spaced out.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're a remote start-up (we all work in different locations), so Miro has made it possible for us to collaborate and plan out long-term strategies without needing to be in the same room. Having this kind of flexibility is so crucial in the modern environment, and I've not found a tool that has helped us to collaborate more than Miro.

Make sure you make the most of it and look through all the templates for inspiration on how to best use the tool!
Intuitive and versatile whiteboard solution
What do you like best about the product?
I like the flexibility of Miro. It has proven very useful in running and documenting workshops, making todo-lists, visualizing and analyzing qualitative research data etc. I also like the fact that it's easy to import stuff from other software (like excel). If you need to use it with people who are not familiar with it, it's pretty easy to get started too, so no big introductions needed. FOrmatting is easy and the UI general has a very nice balance in terms of extensiveness and simplicity.
What do you dislike about the product?
For me, more extensive exporting functionalities would be very beneficial. However, so far I've been able to make workarounds to manage this. I would also like a bit more AI to the use logic, where the solution would analyze the patterns I'm making in terms of formatting, so that I would not need to conduct so much manual formatting. Further, when you have a very high amount of users on a single board (we use it to run over 150 student university courses for example), things can get messy pretty quickly. More options in terms of determining user rights would be useful here. Also, things can get difficult if you are a member in many teams in different organizations (under different licenses basically). Then you have to manually enter passwords etc., which gets pretty cumbersome fast.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro helps in dealing with the lack of f2f interaction that we're experiencing right now due to covid. It's been great for research activities but also teaching. We use it to work with companies, in our internal project work I'm pretty sure we'll keep using it when things get to normal. Digital whiteboarding is here to stay.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
My general advice would be to just try it out if you have any tasks that relate to running virtual workshops or thinking visually.
Miro is the new trace for designers
What do you like best about the product?
Miro lets me sketch with my colleagues, it is better than sketching on trace because we can literally sketch in the same place. The only limiting factor is the size of my pen tablet. I can also leave notes for them when they are not around, with pictures or whatever is useful for giving feedback.
What do you dislike about the product?
Miro can be a little slow, especially when I am sketching and am making a lot of little lines quickly. It can also get slow when the board is full of lots of images.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My teams are able to sketch while working from home! It keeps all of our sketches in one place. I can see what everyone is working on. It is easier to save sketches for referring to later.
Best Tool To Visualize And Pass Your Idea's Vision
What do you like best about the product?
The simplicity of a semless combination between a web platform and the many abilities to pass and share information in a visual matter.
What do you dislike about the product?
The strange irregularities in the options between the different objects. For example, the color property is different for some elements, some can be edited to whichever color of your choosing and some may not (sticky notes).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am working on a requirements document (PRD) minus the document, found Miro to be friendly and pleasant as an answer the document-less PRD wish.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
When first starting with miro, get yourself familiarized with the many intuitive options and abilities this platform offers, and only then start your work. Miro gives free webinars, join one.
Excellent and Easy to use tool for collaboration and communication
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is my go-to collaboration tool for pretty much any collaboration as it enables our team to effectively communicate our thoughts and ideas through visualisation. It has plenty of useful features for workshops (think all the basics plus timer and voting - my favourites ), integrates with a large number of modern tools and comes with a great collection of templates. I love that I have the information I need in one place, and never lose anything.
I started using Miro about 7 months ago and now I use it every day. Super easy to learn and use, their Youtube Channel has plenty of tutorials.

What do you dislike about the product?
So far there's nothing I don't like about Miro.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Strategic direction workshops, planning and estimating in the software development context, brainstorming for educational workshops and Process mapping to name a few.
Miro acilitates communication and collaboration through visualisation.
