Miro became my main project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
Performance is amazing, I really like how everything is moving so fast considering the amount of content I drop inside my boards. My research always includes so many screenshots & images & it's great to be able to generously add whatever I want. I really like the presentation mode feature and the fact that I can hide boards from certain teammates. It really helped me promote Miro within my team, they all really dependent on Google slides.
What do you dislike about the product?
1. I'm missing a way to sync things I design in extended software like Sketch or XD.
2. I really want to create nice presentations on Miro, and as a designer, I'm missing basic typography capabilities such as character/ line spacing, creating grid & uploading fonts.
3. Although I think Miro's performance is great, sometimes I wish I could make loading faster, and I think that adding a capability of presenting only chosen boards could be helpful.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
First and foremost it is a tool for documenting product projects. From the research phase to the transition of design to development. For me, this is a great way to share ideas with my team members, present them with complex diagrams, draw ideas quickly and get feedback on them.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is the most amazing tool for any project related to design or visual elements. In my opinion, any team that creates together ideas should use Miro, and document the work in it. I'm definitely trying to implement Miro into my team as much as possible and slowly it's seeping through.
Miro, best for user journey maps and site maps for your next Ux Project!
What do you like best about the product?
It has the best experience for ease user usage. I enjoyed every step I made on Miro, coupled with a simple interface and an intuitive experience.
The feature to be able to drop comments and seemingly work as a team was excellent. We had fun demonstrating our knowledge base and sharing our ideas in the best way possible.

What do you dislike about the product?
Before this review, I did not have any bad experiences. The interface had users in mind. I had tips to assist me if I ever find something confusing.
As such there is nothing to dislike on the Miro platform. All I have for them is commendations and to use all user feedback to improve the platform.
That will bring in more user and ensure Miro is better than its competitors.

I solve user journey mapping with miro. Miro has this interface that takes care of every scenario. All you have to do is think about what you want to achieve, and you will get it done as soon as possible.
The benefits have been immense. I have been able to upscale my app pretty quickly and given my stakeholder the type of view they may need to ensure their Mobile app can come to the market and become succesful no matter what.

Amazing product, just one thing holding me back from giving a 10!
What do you like best about the product?
Amazing interface, real attention to detail we are now using it really extensively within our business - definitely an improvement vs physical post it exercises
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the search functionality is only available for Enterprise packages, but Enterprise packages don't make sense for smaller teams <50, so we've no way to access that enhanced functionality which is really frustrating, especially when you do a search and it tells you there are 8 results on boards but you have to upgrade to see where they are :( This is the only thing holding me back from giving a 10
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Remote working collaboration internally and externally
A beautiful, simple canvas for working on...anything.
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is intuitive and attractive. No heavy-handed use of colours or graphics that distract. You can be up and running in seconds and using shortcuts very quickly. If you dream of the biggest desk in the world, this is it. I like the minimalism of the design. Other competitive products seem to want to put their stamp on what a sticky note looks like, for example. The template library is really good. It looks like a product that could have been designed by Mac. Other products seem very PC.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find it a little confusing about who can edit and whether they have to be in my team - in which case I have to take out a licence for them.
I would like to have a choice of colour for the canvas - if this option exists, I can't see it.
I use the kanban template but it, for some reason, seems to be less concrete and straightforward than Trello.
It would be good to have access to third party template designers - a kind of marketplace where I could find less mainstream templates to use. I get the impression that you have absolute control of the templates that are in the library - or you police them quite heavily.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organising complex information into simple, graphical snapshots.
Collaborating on canvases with colleagues.
Designing digital documents that people can add to, where appropriate.
In all cases, I can show and tell without making a document. It's non linear, in a good way.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Digital whiteboards look quite similar to one another but, the more you use Miro, the more you see what the others don't do. Or don't do so well.
Fits for almost everything
What do you like best about the product?
Extreme flexibility. I am thinking visually and I can put in Miro practically every thought of mine, which I could put on paper.
No borders. Left or right, up or down, upscale or downscale - can keep adding content and never limited
Quick and intuitive (mostly). No thinking or learning needed - just dropping thoughts straight on a whiteboard, no distraction. This is essential in creative work, so that thoughts keep flowing w/o interruption.

What do you dislike about the product?
It is expensive for large teams. The price is fair for an active user, but not everyone is an active user. So Miro costs us the same as each of Jira (with plugins) or Confluence (with plugins) or Slack, while those are used much more intensely. This limits us for wider utilization and we limit users granted access to corporate Miro account.
Lacking flexibility in text markup. i.e. in a sticker I would often need some text larger (like a title) and some other text smaller (clarification).
Mindmap functionality is still basic. Lacking large visual tags/icons (like in Xmind), lacking different styles/colors for mindmap nodes (i.e. good/bad marking).

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It brings visual collaboration to a whole new level. Even an actual physical whiteboard/stickers might be less convenient sometimes. In remote work, Miro makes meetings extremely more effective (2-3x timewise). Communicating an idea visually becomes 2-3x faster.
Enabling collaboration in the new, remote workplace
What do you like best about the product?
Miro excels as a collaborative workspace, with its infinite canvas you are free to explore all the facets of the conversation without limitation - but also offers an extensive range of templates (and the ability to create your own templates) so you don't have to start with a blank page each time.
Collaboration features have continued to evolve too, with great voting features and now the ability to have video meetings actually within the board itself.
Continuous development of the product is my favourite feature of the platform and I always look forward to seeing the new features added.

What do you dislike about the product?
Resizing elements is not always intuitive - I often find myself wanting to expand a text box in one direction but get stuck expanding it within its existing ratio. Can be frustrating as it doesn't work as other similar applications do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a product team we were used to working on whiteboards in meeting rooms *a lot*. Covid has stopped that from being possible which was a huge limitation to our progress during Covid lock-down, but with miro we have been able to remove this barrier and start working collaboratively again.
Miro is a perfect tool to visualise team workflow and personal thoughts
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the ability to visualise and draw connections between all the elements on the board. The mind map tool is really useful. Importing documents and presentations is great. For personal use, I like to visualise my jobs to be done for the upcoming week. A very good function is the export as an image or pdf. It gives a convenient way to share the meeting notes with the client after the meeting. It is quite quick to start using Miro - the interface on a simple user level is convenient.
What do you dislike about the product?
We often create templates where we want users to follow the guidelines and fill in the information or do a quick brainstorming, but the annoying aspect is that everyone can move around the elements that are put down on the board. In group meetings, it becomes really annoying if people accidentally move around the elements that shouldn't be moved around. It frustrates both the people using the framework and also the owners. It would be great if it was possible to paste in excel tables - really miss this function. Often we prepare offers or do brainstorming around them in Miro and excel is needed to visualise the numbers in a convenient way. Sometimes users get lost in the Miro board or think it is empty if the frames are too large.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When we need to discuss with a client particular aspects that we can comment on and have a joint understanding of how we phrase things, it is really useful. We also use Miro for meetings to follow a certain meeting flow (the client doesn't see that).
The best free virtual board application
What do you like best about the product?
The customization of the board is quite advanced. You can do everything you would do with a physical board.
Everything is editable in real time with other users.
The app is very user-friendly. You can start to use it without any indications.
Navigation inside a giant board is relatively easy thanks to the map and the fact you can follow other user's cursors.
The app is web-based so that you can use it from any device.
It depends on the usage you want, but the free version might be enough for your company. We use it mostly to share our scrum board, and so one board is enough.

What do you dislike about the product?
I don't see a downside. You can remove the things you don't like or don't use them.
I don't like to see the collaborators' cursors, especially when we are more than ten currently using the board, but you can hide them.
The locking system can be frustrating if someone selects a card and you can't edit it or move it, you have to ask that user to unlock it himself.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With the corona crisis, we needed an online tool to be able to do our scrum board still. In the end, it means less paper and easy accessibility.
Now we also use it in meetings for brainstorming and surveys.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is free as long as you use only three boards. You can use it for your daily scrum, but if you want more, you'll have to pay.
Easy-to-use and extensive online whiteboard
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is an extensive tool I use for many different use cases, such as remote workshops, brainstorming, research, moodboards, organizing processes, wireframing, …. I share the boards with team members as well as I create boards for my personal projects. It is very easy to use. I also like the templates which save a lot of time i.e. with setting up process charts, mind maps, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some minor bugs, such as when placing a pdf and displaying page 3, the next time I open the board, the displayed pdf page is page 1 again. The issue can be easily solved by extracting the pages. Apart from that everything is going smooth.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Online collaboration gets really easy with Miro. A great benefit is that I can collect all my research and thoughts at one place and the templates for visualizing and structuring processes are great time savers.
The best 2019 discovery. The tool that I use for everything now
What do you like best about the product?
Its simplicity. I even do presentations (kind of on a slide format) with Miro as I can share & co-create with an audience. Making it interactive rather than one way conversation
What do you dislike about the product?
Cost. And it has some little glitches or moments where it does strange things, but not a a big deal as I know how to avoid them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problem: Co-reate with a remote team / Benefit: Efficiency on co-creating content or aligning with the team
Problem: Making the created content phisical / benefit: I can export as pdf and print pòsters created on Miro
Problem: Making the content visually engaging / Benefit: I can import nearly all formats
Problem: I need to document every step of a project / Benefit: I can create my own mental model (structure) on Miro
Problem: Document for regulatory purpose (medical & healthcare projecte) / Benefit: I I can share all the content organised chronologically with the Quality team
Problen: I can not drag and drop videos. I need to add links. I understand this way is more storage efficient, but as they are videos with content that can not be shared outside the organisation, I can not place them in a platform like vimeo and then place the link on Miro / Benefit: For the moment not solved, if the video is short I do a GIF and then place it on the borad. Again our need is linked to having all the content in one place
Problem: Content scattered in different platforms and supports / Benefit: Every material created for a project is in one singe board, so every team member can access it anytime
