Miro provides Creative Teams collaboration and content creation from ANYWHERE
What do you like best about the product?
I love seeing all my colleagues and team members in one place. Watching our tiny "cursors" interacting virtually feels almost more natural than a Zoom meeting! We can see each other pointing, gesturing, and moving around as we review each other's ideas. As a creative agency, we use Miro to develop our bar-napkin-seeds-of-an-idea into full-blown 360-degree marketing campaigns for our clients. Copywriters, art directors, producers, project managers, and digital team members can all interact in one place, and we can refer back to the whole history of the job with one high-level glance.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's splitting hairs at this point, but I wish we could somehow combine Zoom and Miro into one teleconferencing experience, as we still require both to have a collaboration session. We don't use Zoom for screen-sharing since everyone is inside the Miro board at once, but we do need it for the actual call. I would love to see Miro further develop its platform to support meetings, calls, and teleconferencing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving the problems at which the pandemic has hurled our agency (along with countless others), which is the loss of the in-person collaboration experience. Whiteboarding with content strategy and customer experience teams has also been "saved" by Miro; as I can recall, in the early days of working-from-home, we attempted to use Zoom's whiteboard feature, which pales by comparison. It's also been an incredible tool for meeting with our clients and having workshops with them, whereas before the pandemic, we would be traveling for in-person sessions across the country, wherever our clients were based.
One of the best collaboration tools we're using today - totally transforming the ideation process
What do you like best about the product?
Extremely incredible UX, helps us share ideas in an easy way, great integrations, sleek design, easy way to create wireframes and low fidelity prototypes, the ability to annotate and share notes on other's work and idea in a very intuitive and fast way is just awesome!!!
What do you dislike about the product?
The free version is limited to only 2 active boards
Transferring boards between accounts could be easier :)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ideation process in a remote work environment (and actually also in F2F environment)
As a product manager, having the ability to create wireframes and low fidelity prototypes, share them with customers, potential leads and internally is just amazing!

The perfect place for collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Miro focuses on collaboration. It has a very low barrier for first time users meaning workshops can be focused on the task in hand, not explaining the software.
What do you dislike about the product?
The way you set access rights to the boards could be improved. I've created some boards that I assumed were private that were accessible by others. Some colleagues have had similar incidents. It is possible to make boards private but the UX isn't designed as well as the rest of the Miro product
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro as a space to help me think about problems. It's a great way to connect thoughts that I wouldn't be able to do on a spreadsheet, text file or presentation software. I also use it as a tool to run workshops and collaborate with colleagues.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great way to both collaborate and think about complicated problems.
Miro Collaborative Whiteboard Wall
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is simple and easy to use. You can develop your own templates or use built-in or other users templates. These can be adapted and changed to suit your own needs.
The excellent point that you can upload documents and ensure everyone is on the same page! No working on the wrong revision etc...they can add notes and turn through the pages this is awesome!

What do you dislike about the product?
Although simple you have to remember to lock each element you create, or you will drag it around the whiteboard as you navigate...you soon get used to this though. Would be good to freeze the panes for an excel type of table and to help with dates in columns etc. Also, a deeper colour option for the cards just like the sticky notes because the colours can be differentiated so well when you are zoomed out for a wider view.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaborative Planning - Looking forward 6-12 weeks to schedule work & planning what's needed & when. I use tags to highlight concerns or issues and also stages of the same process as the colours are visible when you are zoomed out. Benefits are improved communications and planning. Identifying potential problems sooner and solving them before they are an issue.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great tool to use for teams and can really make you work together as one. Takes time to change the way you work which this software really helps.
Look around and use the available templates in Miro and online. Plus the YouTube videos etc. Very useful and helpful.

Agile made possable diring pandemic.
What do you like best about the product?
We are a tight-knit Group and moving almost 200 people out of the office for safety reasons was my first priority. Once we were semi-settled now how do you stay in a constant improvement groove that the agile framework has done for our group. Well, I stumbled upon Miro and after using it just a little I could see the business plan and how things were well thought out. so what I like
1. you can do quick and dirty mock-ups while collaborating with many people we have even swarmed problems where each person or group puts ideas on the same board with a time box.
2. You can do much more detailed Mind maps and funnels really helping to get your point across.
The bottom line is you can be really bad with it and it's simple enough you can get your point across or you can learn to use it really well and do rockstar presentations and collaborations and anything in between.

What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to have a 1 on 1 tutor to make me a rock star especially for some of my people who something like this just looks intimidating because you can.do so much
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's the new remote office Foe so much I keep finding new ways to use it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just try it for an honest hour.
The tool that has it all and enables our remote team
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can basically do anything on Miro! They both have helpful templates or let you design a solution that works for anything you're trying to achieve. We run our retrospectives remotely using Miro, which allows the team to be creative and engaged in their responses and use words, emojis or even pictures to express their feelings on the sprint. We also keep our product roadmap there, so it's easy to keep up-to-date and accessible by anyone quickly using a simple link.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the endless amount of possibilities makes it hard to narrow down what is the best template or solution for what you're trying to achieve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
During Covid, we're a usually co-located Agile squad of developers, designers and testers. We've been able to run most of our usual ceremonies using Miro, and it has helped keep everyone engaged and connected. The squad have fun expressing themselves using emojis, drawings and pictures during our retrospectives.
Great collaboration tool!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ability to create notes, ideas, collect and arrange photos and files all in 1 place while collaborating with my teammates, especially during these semi-remote times of COVID.
What do you dislike about the product?
No custom color options for sticky notes
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
If anything, it's solved the challenge of multiple people being in different locations who need to collaborate together.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is an easy-to-use and reasonably priced collaboration tool for many uses.
It's been an incredible asset for my team and me to ideate intelligently and effectively!

Amazing space to get stuff done
What do you like best about the product?
I like how endless it is, and you can keep going and going with canvas after canvas and send links to a particular canvas. It's super intuitive too. Canvases and features are essential and valuable, especially the Post and flow charts. What I dislike about it is the arrows when you join two boxes together, the arrow is too thin to see, and you should be able to change the thickness of it.
What do you dislike about the product?
I mentioned the arrows above and changing thickness. Another minor annoying thing that I would love a fix for is if you import ten images, and then you want to frame them (create a frame feature) you have to do it individually. So now what you have is the ability to place thirty or forty jpgs onto a single canvas and then outline them or frame them some way. This is currently not how it's achieved though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Given the fact that we operate our teams and work in a pandemic it has been an essential space for me to collect my thoughts and progress on a project. The feature that most benefits me is that Miro is one place to keep track of everything. This includes research like notes and things people say, the process of the design, capturing the collaborative comments from others on the team, comments essential to building good products and make team building more inclusive whilst working remotely.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
So to advise anyone to use Miro, I would ask What do I need it for? Will others use it? Will it be adopted into the team as an essential tool for the team and the customer? Will everyone make use of it? I think that it is a valuable tool for the type of projects that I work on and that you probably would find great value in it too.
The perfect tool for a really SMART working
What do you like best about the product?
The feature I like the most about Miro is the ability to create boards like pieces of paper and share them instantly with all my colleagues.
In a scattered world dependent on smart-working, I find very much value in share notes with my team in a creative space such as a Miro board.
The creativity is the second aspect I like the most in Miro: there is virtually no impossible thing in Miro, thanks to the choice of tools.

The creativity is the second aspect I like the most in Miro: there is virtually no impossible thing in Miro, thanks to the choice of tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are only a few things that I dislike: in particular they mostly regard UX.
For examples, adapting the text to a sticky note is usually not very simple, and I generally incline for square shapes.
Also, locking contents and frames is sometime tricky, expecially when many users work on the same board, leading to minor inconveniences when people accidentally move frames.
Another feature that is sometimes a little annoying, is when I enter a board and it tells me all the changes that my team has done: after that I must click on every changed content to remove the notification.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I must share information with my colleagues, for which I usually would need paper (schemas, graphs, brainstorming, etc.), and I cannot simply use shared documents.
Also, I may need to use some template in order to achieve easier and quicker some result.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is very simple and helpful: after months of smart working without a tool such that, where productivity dropped due to difficulty in communication, we finally had a place where communicating easily.
The most intuitive online whiteboarding tool
What do you like best about the product?
We're a creative company that has been using Miro for over a year now. Whereas in the past we might have filled a "war room" with Post-Its, whiteboard sessions, and printouts, now we are able to capture and collaborate all our work in one place. The templates are super helpful from respected sources. Most importantly, we've been able to get all our team members working in one place, including external clients and partners. We won't be going back to a messy "war room" after this!
We've tried other whiteboard tools like Mural, but Miro has a more intuitive interface and better feature set.

What do you dislike about the product?
We use the boards so heavily, sometimes if we copy paste many high-res images and have many people (dozens) on at once, it can get a bit laggy... but we're power-users, so that's an extreme situation.
Also, not a dislike, but a feature request - it would be useful to have multiple options to export or archive the boards, ie. one page per frame, or, the entire board as a single PDF, or other options... As we use these boards routinely, we will need a way to share and archive them in our company file management (outside of the Miro platform).

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a tech consultancy, and so we use the boards to organize projects, plan tasks, brainstorm ideas, host workshops with clients, capture research findings, and present our recommendations. We practically live on Miro!
