The ultimate playground for collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
What I love most about Miro is the flexibility and freedom. I feel like an artist with a blank canvas and a full set of tools to get the job done. Miro is far from boring and encourages users to collaborate in their own way. I've even had members of my teams draw actual artwork next to a collection of sticky notes, just because they can. It keeps people engaged and makes things fun. The possibilites seem endless and make it feel like everyone is standing in front of the same giant whiteboard, no matter where they actually are in the world.
What do you dislike about the product?
This is a nitpick really, but I've had a couple people that struggled with the interface and were contstantly accidentally dragging elements around. I gave them a quick lesson on how to use Miro, but it just didn't seem to click with them. The vast majority of users have no trouble with the interface, though, after just a couple minutes of playing around. I'm not a big fan of forced tutorials, so I'm not entirely sure how to fix this issue, since I think the interface is pretty good already.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've used Miro for road maps, retros, choosing a team name, and as an artistic playground during Team Fun Time. Basically, any time a task would call for a physical whiteboard, I'd much prefer to use Miro instead. It's 2021 and so many users are working remotely. Whiteboards should be a thing of the past.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get in and really play around with it. There's so many wonderful things it can be used for. If you don't know where to start, use a template.
Easy Collaboration and Great User Experience
What do you like best about the product?
I have already recommended Miro to many colleagues.
I like the brainstorming with stickies functionality. I typically work with 20 participants and have developed a frame that contains four working areas where each can hold up to 120 stickies.
I also use Toasty which integrates with Miro. This allows me to have breakout groups to sort, group, theme and drill down in the brainstormed comments. I was doing this face-to-face with management teams before COVID-19, and I plan to continue using these tools after COVID because of the ability to have participants from multiple geographic locations which saves time and travel cost.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few inconsistencies e.g. "Bring everyone to me" was working but no longer. Also, the scroll wheel on the mouse used to be able to zoom in and out, now I have to hold the command key while scrolling.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My work is in change management, cultural transformation, and leadership development. My undergrad is behavioural and developmental psychology and literature, grad degree in comparative literature, structural anthropology, semiology and Jungian archetypes, and my post grad research contiues in studying "how" language means vs "what" it means. I develop neuro-linguistic algorythims which are syntactical structures that, when used, will create a predictable behaviour. Culture resides in conversation and Miro allows my participants to collaborate, and while doing so, develop "people" skills.
Great for remote brainstorming sessions
What do you like best about the product?
It was effortless to get started with Miro as most controls are straightforward. The real-time collaboration features work great and really helped us capture and share ideas with our clients. The graphic tools provided for diagramming are enough for quick documentation during brainstorming sessions. Templates and icons for wireframes also proved very helpful for early prototyping. The presentation mode is excellent for professionally showing results.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is no way to access previous versions of the boards, which meant that we lost some of the older ideas along the way. Arranging the frames on the board during a busy collaboration session is not automatically supported in any way, so you have to do quite a bit of "tidying up" afterward. We couldn't find a way to export only selected frames in pdf, so every time, we were forced to export the whole board and then edit the file ourselves.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro made remote brainstorming and prototyping sessions much more efficient. Moreover, documentation of workshop results has proven easier due to having everything already in a clear digital form (no need to decipher poorly scribbled notes and post-its)!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Worth considering if you hold remote collaboration sessions. Use the free version first, then see if you need a paid plan.
Better than a physical whiteboard even though you are all in the same room
What do you like best about the product?
What impresses me the most is that MIRO is quick to come out with new features that solve any problems you might have. Every time I think there should be a feature for this, I realize that the tool already has it. For instance, we many times have workshops with quite many people on the board. When someone is presenting something, doing a screen share, it's quite distracting when everybody can't sit still and keeps moving their mouse pointers arounds. Looks like a swarm on the screen. Rather than asking people to stop it, you can simply hide other peoples pointers. Voila, elegant way to solve the problem.
What do you dislike about the product?
I know it would help you guys a lot if I had a list of problems that you can work with, improvements that I'd like to see in the product going forward. But I'm actually very happy with it and it's hard to come up with something that would be needed at this point. The new JIRA integration is something I wouldn't have asked for, but it's fantastic that you have it now.
The only thing would be the way you setup your projects and teams. You have teams, where you can have X amount of projects for.
It's hard sometimes to structure all the boards and get them to reflect your own organisation. Like having Teams, with sub-teams for instance. Adding people to MIRO in general and adding them to the teams always requires one and the same persons approval. Would be great to have several admins like you can have in JIRA where several people can do it. A bit problematic when someone is actually too buys to help or even on vacation.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's a great collaboration tool. We use it for Retrospectives, design workshops, team buildings, plannings and many others. It's a very liberal tool which let's you do pretty much whatever you want and super easy for people to get started with. I don't need separate sessions to teach people the tool before they start using it.
We many times use it as documentation sometimes. Where the MIRO board becomes our source of truth rather than Confluence. As it's so much easier to get the layout and look you want in MIRO compared to Confluence, many times we just keep the board we workshopped around as documentation. Not sure if there are, but if there is a way to version control and things to use more like documentation, perhaps that can help with some future business opportunities ;)

Do you miss the physical whiteboard when you are in remote training or workshops? Try Miro!
What do you like best about the product?
Infinitive whiteboard. +25 people are working simultaneously. Connection with Jira and confluence. Access to edit to all participants without the need to buy a licence for each one. Drag and drop of videos and pictures.
What do you dislike about the product?
The usage of frameworks is not flexible. I have tried using the roadmap framework, but I can not change the text size, for example. It happens with all frameworks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As trainer and coach, I perform workshops and need to work with others with giant whiteboards. We do not have a whiteboard now; then, we use Miro to solve the problem. Other problems we solve are timekeeping, comments, voting, estimating, etc. Miro give the opportunity to make the event interactive and full of life.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
When you deliver training or workshop and there are participants with no experience with Miro, add an ice breaker exercise in Miro to allow them to understand how to use it.
The Unlimited Whiteboard!
What do you like best about the product?
Definitely everything! It is an unlimited whiteboard. I use it for sketching, project development, prototype creation, prepare presentations, taking notes everything. It is super easy to use and manage. It is also good for working from home teams, where you can draw or develop everything with your teammates. Collaboration part is the most important part.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing! It could be a little bit cheaper but it's okay, you've one board where you can use it for everything. Sometimes we face some crashes but then they fix it.
Drawing pencil is not super easy to use it could be developed too
It will be good if we see some integrations with other tools, like Slack, Hubpsot etc.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- It definitely helps me to be more creative. It also helps you to see all the data on one board so that you can develop your project or presentation properly
-I use it for presentations, I develop all the things at Miro and share my screen while presenting.
-New website prototypes, structures, basically the stages before design teams.
-Taking notes for everything
-Event planning: I draw the venue area and add all the related things for planning, table arrangement etc.
-Collaborative whiteboard: working with my peers to develop projects together
-Mind mapping, great for marketing teams.

I will absolutely recommend Miro for everyone! It is one of my love brands. I can't think of a regular day without Miro.
Amazing tool for async. lovers and creative managers
What do you like best about the product?
Miró helps us work with teams working remotely, facilitating processes such as retrospectives or brainstorming in an asynchronous way to be efficient and make the most of time. Also, since it's straightforward to use, we have managed to unify information from different departments and roles about a project on a single whiteboard, so we have better visibility of the big picture of a project with many stakeholders involved.
What do you dislike about the product?
We tried video calls within Miró, but it was not satisfactory: we had issues with speed and audio, so we moved to another tool and share screen. Also, aligning and adjusting the spacing for the elements of a whiteboard is complicated since it doesn't show some guidance.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've found some of the main benefits for our business are that we're now able to manage our remote team's ceremonies in a clean, shareable, and creative way and save the results. And we can have many different roles working on the same tool with a low learning curve.
The Tool I've Been Searching For
What do you like best about the product?
I manage a team of creatives and this tool helps us collaborate on designs and content all at the same time. What I like best is that it's so easy to use, it required very little training.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing that I can think of, yet. I'm a fairly new user.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration and teamwork. We're now all on the same page.
This benefits the entire department, not just my group. It's good for others to see how the creative process is supposed to work.

Try it for a week with your team and you'll be hooked.
Life with Miro
What do you like best about the product?
A large whiteboard allows us to work with our team efficiently and effectively. Not only with the team, but I also use it when I try to read the long and complicated documents by preparing mindmaps. And whenever we are having an online meeting with our team, I am opening the Miro board to take the notes, and we are using it just like we are in front of the whiteboard in the office.
The other thing is the similarities of the gestures with other design programs. I never feel surprised when I am using it. It is always like how it should be.
Another thing is when i am using the tables, I can quickly put an image in a cell, and the cell is resizing according to the size of the image.

What do you dislike about the product?
The price could be more affordable for an individual user. It is not that I dislike it, but I wish to see the history of the board. Who accessed and when? What changes the other users made on the board?
Also, It would be great if I could reshape the table format like the color of the lines.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro helps me to be more creative. I am collecting all the data I need and creating my own template. Also easily sharing and getting feedbacks from my colleagues. The great thing is when we are using the board as a team I can see who is working where easily.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I do not remember how I was dealing with all these works before Miro. It's in the center of my life now. I appreciate the team behind it. The template library helps me to finish my job quickly when I have limited time to prepare something.
Most intuitive and professional collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
That all skill-levels can easily find their way around, as well as the smooth and proactive layout assistance.
Using Miro has tremedously improved our workshop capacity, especially during Covid and remote-working context, since we can now work in the same space with people from around the globe.
On top of that it let's you design differnet form of workshop experiences: from quite thinking exercises, to interactive brainstorms and in-board presentations.
The platform looks pro and friendly at the same time, which makes clients instantly feel at ease and willing to use it.

What do you dislike about the product?
The thing I struggle the most with is finding the best "starting zoom" perspective. I know usually take a first screenshot, drag and drop it in to know where I have to build from.
It would also be great to know how to integrate comment mentions directly with Slack. The cross-platform integrations are not easy to find and understand. Most companies use other text-based tools like Slack for general project management.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Facilitating remote (international) work sessions and client workshops across time zones.
It has also become my go-to tool to gather all information in one place. Ex: it's way easier to have a competitor audit in such a visual form. THe best thing is that it's not static and that you can always go back to it.
