Great Collaboration & Engagement Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Functionality & ease of use. Setting up Frames that then appear as Flipchart sheets, Ability to pdf session outputs and send out. Constant improvements/releases by the Miro team - that make use & functionality even better.Ability to make your own templates or use existing library of templates - makes setting up a new board easy. The ease of setting up teams and projects within - very useful when working with clients with multiple business units. New participants take a very short time to get up to speed on its use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not have any dislikes - it is an excellent tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration, participation and engagement across the team. Everyone has input, even the quiet ones that in a physical meeting hold back.
Look like a pro, run workshops with ease!
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to allow guests to edit/create with you in real-time without being banned or delayed entrance by log-ins and sign-ups makes for such a great experience for your clients. We've created such win-wins during both client workshoping and hands on research sessions where we can actively get all guests, clients, interviewees into the space with little to no training required.
What do you dislike about the product?
The general readability/visibility has been an issue discussed by my teams. When compared to other tools like Mural which has higher legibility, but far limited functionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro is literally my design/research team's home base to solve complex issues for multi-national fortune 100 client engagements, hosting a range of workshops from week-long design sprints to more formal research, synthesis, and analysis sessions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Invite collaborators, make use of things like the timer and templates, host a short workshop and compare it to all other digital whiteboarding tools and I think you'll find you way back to Miro, it's just a step above the rest.
Great tool for collaborative and remote work
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is a very simple to use tool that works very intuitive. As I say to my collaborators, is like if we were in a room and Miro are the walls and board with all the possible tools to use in a collaborative work session.
What do you dislike about the product?
The platform is not in Spanish. I use it in a Latinamerican context and some users need to understand instructions and others that are only in English.
Sometimes is slow to load boards.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used to create strategic frameworks where I need that others collaborate or be informed. Also I do some consulting and teaching sessions and Miro is my principal tool, over PowerPoint.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is a great tool to collaborative and remote work. Is ideal if yo use diagramming to ease understanding of ideas or frameworks and is very efficient to capture insights, ideas and so for remote people that works with you.
Go for miro, easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the opportunity to see all my drawing and to be able to easily draw and write on them. The huge zoning is really helpful as an architecture student who work in a group very regularly, it is an easy way to share and be able to download other's work !
What do you dislike about the product?
The dowloading of the board if your are not premium is not the most easy. The sharing of board is quite easy and if you share your link, it is hard to restrict access later on... The limit to three board was a struggle sometimes but with organization, everything goes great !
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I solved the probleme of being able to have a board to see all presentation and that allow modification. The board became the go to instead of a google drive and the best way to share documents and ideas through online group project.
Awesome collaboration tool, pre and post quarantine
What do you like best about the product?
As an online collaborative whiteboard and more, Miro helped me and my software development team in almost all of our design meetings before the pandemic, but when we had to quarantine and work from home, it quickly became one of our most used tools, almost as much as the video conference software we use. We use Miro from everything from Scrum Sprint Planning to Design Sprint Whiteboard, to designing wireframes and mockups, to just using it as a sketch pad in our daily meetings. As a development team manager, I'm used to use physical whiteboards for almost anything, it's an indispensable tool for me, and to have an online tool that provides all of the features I need and gives me the option to use them along with my team, it instantly became a must use tool for us.
What do you dislike about the product?
The workspace and board limits of the free version are a little restrictive, only letting you have 3 workspaces with 3 boards each, but as a starting point (and for free) it's enough to get things done, or at least to get things started and then upgraded to a premium account.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Create your first board as a 'Miscelaneous' board, and keep using it for scrap doodles so you won't have to delete a thing
Memory palace for all your projects ;)
What do you like best about the product?
Miro works great as collaborative space for teamwork. Brainstorming, working on information architecture, user flows, developing knowledge base, etc. have never been easier. It is a great personal tool as well - I often use it for taking notes, writing down ideas, desk research.
With boards grouped by projects I can easily collect all crucial data in one place keeping the design process and documentation in order.
The usage of numerous available templates (and ability to define your own ones) significantly increase work productivity.

What do you dislike about the product?
While exporting mind maps or affinity diagrams to CSV the structure is not correctly represented in the Excel file (unfortunately, the nesting of nodes is lost). But I hope that's only a matter of time before the fix is added.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I worried that it would be impossible to mimic the vibe of an offline meeting during fully remote workshops, but Miro made it possible. I quickly got used to this software, and it seems irreplaceable for me now.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Working with Miro is a real pleasant experience. Despite the large number of features, the interface is not overwhelming, and it is easy to use for both inexperienced and experienced users. The library of templates not only fasten your work but also enables you to comfortably explore different methods and tools for solving problems.
I cannot imagine my daily work without this tool, especially in time of global lockdown caused by COVID-19.

A must have collaborative tool for the virtual workspace
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is such a versatile tool. It's great for taking notes and aggregating data as a single source of truth that can be shared across team members or helping in facilitating group activities in large workshops.
It's great for someone just jumping in to have templates both created by MIRO, as well as the community, some times you're not sure where to start when planning an activity/workshop out or you're crunched for time and having templates at your disposal can really be a life saver.
Overall Miro is a great collaboration tool with tons of upside, a great community and gets people engaged in the collaboration process, in a new and different way that is quickly becoming a necessity in the current virtual working environment.

What do you dislike about the product?
Onboarding for new users can be challenging; there is a learning curve primarily if you've never used a collaborative tool like Miro before. If you are doing collaborative workshops/user outreach, you'll need to allocate time for an ice breaker to make sure everyone is comfortable with the toolset. Though Miro does provide ice breaker templates that help facilitate this process.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As our team has settled into working from home, Miro has helped facilitate collaborative sessions that we might have done in person, things like white boarding ideas, user flows, sprint retrospectives, customer outreach sessions. It allows us to create and maintain artifacts that we can quickly go back and reference in perpetuity.
If we need to work through something quickly, pulling up a new project and getting all the stake holders together is really as simple as sending a link out and hoping on a call.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
My recommendation for someone considering Miro is to take a test drive; invite your team in and try to use the tool in a couple of different ways. Take a look at all the premade templates that Miro and the Miro Community have created to get ideas on how you may want to use Miro and dive in and play around. One thing that was also surprisingly helpful was following the keyword, Miro, on Linkedin; tons of people share tips and ideas on how to get the most out of the toolset.
I can't imagine life without Miro
What do you like best about the product?
I really like that I can virtually collaborate with coworkers and clients on miro. This is very important for us as we are consulting company.
Prior to COVID we worked on physical whiteboard with sticky notes. We are now able to do the same level of collaboration on miro. Some would say that miro is better because it save a lot of time and gives a much cleaner look.
We are also using miro for internal discussions and review of wireframes. That helps because we can continue to work virtually while still being on the same page. The easy navigation allows us to go through content quickly without having to switch between different apps.
I use miro as a replacement to powerpoint/keynote. Because of the tools in miro, it is easier for to come with 'slides' on miro. I then convert this to images and import it to keynote. I would however love it if I could just convert 'frames' in miro directly to slides. This will save me time spent in exporting.

What do you dislike about the product?
I thinking there are a lot of missing features in terms of formating text and building boards. I use miro instead of slides to prepare for meetings, but find features lacking.
Lately I have also had some challenges with SSO. This prevented me to sign into the app but I was able to sign into the web.
Other thing I don't like about miro is that the organization of different boards is not the best. I want to see more in terms of sharing. I also want to see more in sharing a board between different folders/projects.
I think some more work can also be done for templatizing. Some easy, automated tools to create templates specific to my org. We are currently doing this manually where we have a folder for templates. But having prompt that show something like - you coworker created this board, would you like to use it - will save us a lot of time and effort.
I think we also need more fornts in miro. This will help with making better boards.
We also need ability to import images or direct download. I think this might be doable with plugins that allow users to download images from the web directly into miro. An alternative to this is also to build intergration with a stock images site that allows users to get free images.

Just get started with it, and don't worry too much about trying to understand the best way to use it.
Once you get started, you'll have loads of ideas on how to use it!
Try it out as an addition to a normal meeting you have, i.e weekly team meeting

Best all around app for brainstorming, workshopping and online collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
I do really like the UX of miro, so as templates and all the different plugins. I also like the new features like the Consulting package option with the guest sharing system (and now with the naming feature). It's a big plus when it comes to SMBs cost efficiency.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would not say "don't like" it but for new customers, we have to spend time to onboard them, to learn how to navigate on a canvas and how to use miro overall. I would be nice to just send them a quick tour guide type of thing.
What I don't like is that in some cases moving objects around can be tricky. I'm mostly thinking about dot voting in workshops. Its so easy to not grab but scale the small dots that sometimes it can be extremely frustrating.
I would love to have the way voting works in the new FigJam app in miro.

Me and my company were using miro way before the covid thing for online remote collaboration, but recently it become our no1 tool for meetings, workshops or any kind of brainstorming where we want to visually capture ideas, user journeys. I particularly love the mind maps. It helps soo much for clients to organize stuff.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I can highly recommend Miro for anyone who likes to visualize ideas, concepts on a whiteboard. I found it much easier to explain complicated concepts to clients this way.
