Perfect for people who have to deal with lots of ambiguity in their work
What do you like best about the product?
I like how I can store everything on just a single page. I have been using this product for 6 months now, and I would have made 1000 mind maps. Still, miro makes it so easy to search for something specific. I can connect my ideas very seamlessly by connecting mindmaps. I like this product so much that I have started using it in my personal work. Great job Miro
What do you dislike about the product?
There's is not enough. But I would like if Miro can introduce a back-button functionality in search. This really helps when I want to put two or more objects side by side.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To put it simply, I can put all my ideas in one place. Google docs etc. are great for text storage. But Miro allows me to do more than that in a very easy manner.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out, it's great for unstructured storage of data and brainstorming.
great for process facilitators
What do you like best about the product?
Having spent a lot of time in front of a whiteboard with teams of people I've found Miro to be the best substitute for when you can have people in the same room together. Like with anything new it takes a bit of work to get people comfortable and confident to express themselves but once the ice is broken Miro helps open up creativity and dialogue.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing. The cost is high. The free version is great but lacks video conferencing so you need to be ready to be quite hands-on and to have a patient and tech literate team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ideation and Consensus based decision making.
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." (Clarke's third law)
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is a tool that genuinely feels like magic at times. I was addicted to whiteboards in team rooms, and the pandemic lockdown put a terrible strain on me as a project leader. Working with an international team on a brand new project that required a lot of conversation and analysis was already challenging. All scattered in different places made the task impossible.
Miro was a lifesaver, the only tool that allowed me a real-time, totally destructured collaboration as I was on a whiteboard. Plus, it's permanent. Plus, it's boundless. Plus, it has terribly advanced features. Plus, it's evolving to a pace I cant' bear with.
Soon Miro became my sole tool for a lot of different activities, from modeling the interface wireframes of the application we are building, to share thoughts with the team, to arrange mindmaps... we are now using it far and wide for strategic workshops, analysis, modeling and whatever.
As a web-developer, I'm so impressed by the technical quality, performance, UI design and ergonomics of Miro that I can't get how can it be working so well.

What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing model. It's a bit difficult to get and I think it can be better thought out to support dynamic, frequently changing business teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I got back the ability to work as in the same room, even remotely.
I also got additional, unexpected benefits like persistence of information, endless whiteboard real estate, convenient side-tools (timers, voting, etc).
Miro allowed me to got rid of many different tools I needed to achieve my goals. Now everything is in one place.

My Go-to for everything!
What do you like best about the product?
The whole UX of the app is brilliant and feels carefully designed, minimalistic... It feels like an environment you would like to spend time in! (Which I do!;-) )
Integrations and templates make it so much more into a central application within my workflows.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the facilitation options should have an option to be collapsed to make focused space, when not needed.
Sharing options: no option in between editing & viewing (I'd love to offer certain click ability yet no editing rights)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1) Second Brain - All my ideas go into Miro, including their relations; brainstorming, associations, concepts, etc.
2) Collaboration - Working together remotely on all projects (incl Design Sprints), voting, commenting, etc.
3) Client-Interface - We use Miro as a permanent Client interface (overview of the projects, assets, brainstorming, moodboards, educational)
4) Library - All my e-/audiobooks go onto a Miro board so I could peruse through them instead of having to go through a list in Dropbox. Easy to share with people as well.

Best tool for collaboration!
What do you like best about the product?
One of the highlights of using Miro (apart from doing its job well) is that I can use it on iPad with my Apple pencil. It's fantastic to be able to take notes and work directly on the board. I also like the multiple workshop-oriented templates; I don't have to build them myself!
What do you dislike about the product?
The "What's new" modal that appears when there's a new update is a bit annoying; I wish it were more subtle and allowed me to use the tool directly (this is a minor and personal preference, though).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem I'm solving with Miro is working remotely in pandemic times. Since we can't go to the office and use a whiteboard for our sessions, Miro has been great as a collaboration tool to get the team together. We work as if we were in the same room: chat, comments, ability to use images to get an idea across has been invaluable.
I can't believe this product exists!
What do you like best about the product?
First, it's the ease of use combined with the readily available templates. I don't have to think too much about how to visualise a project, workflow, or anything I'd like to use it for - I can simply check the templates, get an idea of how I want to build it, and not spend time in doing so. Not to mention, just browsing the templates helps me get ideas on what more I can use Miro for. Second, with these drag and drop types of tools, you spend a lot of time on minimalistic details (it doesn't align as it should, you need to click 5 times to connect some pieces, etc.), with Miro I never thought to myself "wow, I'm investing so much time in just trying building", I spend most of the time just thinking what I need to add, which is amazing. And, so I don't forget - the ability to integrate to other tools and the ability to present, collaborate and save as pdf, I can't believe these are present :)
What do you dislike about the product?
I wouldn't highlight anything specific, as my only thoughts here about extra features (but it's so feature-heavy that this is just the mindset of "when you have more than you need, you're thinking of what else could be added). So far, it's perfect.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project planning, automation mapping and project / business visualisation. The main benefits I've seen is, we've invested so much time into trying to have it all mapped in one place, while combining the need for a workflow, plan, breakdown and a few other things that we would need to combine a few tools to make it happen or work within the limitations of other tools.
A better way to collaborate
What do you like best about the product?
Our teams use Miro for remote workshops of all kinds - it's super easy to use as a whiteboard and a facilitation tool to manage the flow of your meetings with many participants. It helps you build shared mental models of your projects quickly and efficiently. We use it both for live and offline sessions, including documenting trends research, ideating behavior flows, aligning on strategy and prototyping various models for our products. You can create almost anything the way you need.
I find stickers most helpful - they let you create whatever structure and capture info on the fly pretty quickly. They also have an extensive template library following frameworks like CJM, user story mapping, business model canvas, and even opportunity solution tree.

What do you dislike about the product?
Miro is somewhat light on shapes and quick actions, so when you need a good-looking classical diagram, e.g. a BPMN process model or a UML use case diagram, it'll take time and practice to design those. It's not a tool for designing diagrams per se, rather a whiteboard for group collaboration and/or solo ideation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I often use Miro whenever I have an idea I need to think through on my own and in group discussions, be it a team meeting or a client interview. It let us visualize ideas, build shared understanding and get to the bottom of many problems and opportunities quickly and efficiently.
My favourite shiny toy.
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is one of my favorite tools; it helps me visually unpack complex concepts, and it's fun to use. The templates are fantastic, and it is the fastest way to create professional presentations (Powerpoint is so 2010). I love being able to post screengrabs, links and link various elements.
What do you dislike about the product?
As an endless whiteboarding tool, my Miro boards can get quite large, slowing the load speed. I've had feedback that non-Miro users find it quite overwhelming in presentation mode skipping from frame to frame. Sharing boards with non-Miro users is also quite tricky as they find it challenging to navigate at first glance - accidentally moving things around.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro to map out complex relationships. It is my go-to for visualizing online journeys and creating presentations. It is fun, easy to use (once you get the hang of it), and fast.
Collaborative, communicative, free-flowing; a game changer
What do you like best about the product?
The expensive whiteboard surface has allowed my Film production team to create and collaborate in ways we never have before. Working with a Environmentalist perspective, this has allowed us to transition from paper used to virtual use, not having to take photos of a whiteboard, just to share an idea.
What do you dislike about the product?
The coding side of things is very difficult, Especially when trying to get apps that aren't integrated into the program to work with the program. I think there could be some more streamlining towards making this software more business intuitive, so someone like myself can easily incorporate everything into this one software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Writers block, creative Block, and overall cross platform communication has been streamlined And I find that my deliverables are now on time and far more refined because it's easier to make mistakes and grow from them. My stories are now interested, we're fine, and less destructive to the environment, which for me is a huge thing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be willing to play around with it and figure out what works for you, it is a amazing application for those willing to find their flow with it.
Transformative for collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
It's really easy to get started and have a group contribute without prior experience. I like that you can visually diagram things easily with shapes that connect. Frames help you synthesize ideas after a session or can help you use one board as a collaborative space with multiple topics. Social features like commenting allow you to use a space over time.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a little difficult to use at times - often people inadvertently move pieces of content when trying to move around the board. I find it hard to edit shapes sometimes after the fact. I also wish there were more intensive board categorization capabilities so that when used at a large company, users can navigate to a space to see their boards more effectively.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Get teams to think on complex topics where input from multiple people is needed
