Excellent for collaboration, and business visibility
What do you like best about the product?
Miro boasts a lot of great functionality that helps us host our collaborative UX workshops, with clients or internally. It's easy to get the non-tech-savvy users started with following you around the board, interacting with tasks, and contributing.
One of the major benefits for me as a workshop facilitator, is the Miro user community and Miroverse resource. It's really useful for learning about new techniques, activities, and board layouts from other users.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the features such as tables and text boxes can be clunky to format. There are also some issues around long-term sharing with clients, and I've not found a way to transfer ownership of boards to clients (especially if they don't have a premium Miro account). Still, these can be overcome with work-arounds such as exporting to image/pdf and hosting elsewhere. But on the whole, it's a great product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The big problem that Miro helps us solve is bringing stakeholders from different teams together to work on projects, create shared visions, and co-create to solve their problems.
It works with big or small teams collaborate across the product development board, from discovery, to user/customer research, page flows, basic wireframing, and also for presenting findings.

Miro is an great collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
It is helpful in facilitating remote yet collaborative, creative sessions for workshops, brainstorming, process mapping. It's pretty easy to user create visual presentations. The canvas has different kind of templates like: diagrams, mind maps, workflow board, etc. which makes it much easier to create according to the desired visualization for any type of work. Has option for Jira and Confluence integrations.Inviting external collaborators is also as easy as sending an email invitation or sharing a private link. Teams can take down notes and arrange information using the sticky notes feature. There are different colors available for sticky notes for easier visualization and readability. Users can tag sticky notes with custom labels, ensuring that they can be easily located later on. It allows team members to react to sticky notes with emojis and can be used for different purposes such as voting and checking off to-do items. Another great thing I liked is that they conduct webinar sessions to help interested candidates learn about the capabilities and features of Miro. I recently attended one and it was very interactive and insightful. I highly recommend interested folks to attend these.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can't really think of anything as of now. Looking forward for more usable features to be introduced. Integrations with other tools will make it more useful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We mostly use for Kanban boards, retrospectives and user story mapping.

A perfect tool for collaborative teamwork
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is an endless board beneficial for meetings and keeping track of the work that everyone is doing on a specific project. It's easy to set up projects and use professional templates to improve its framework. There is a lot of more interaction and more valuable contributions when using its boards. Miro offers many different tools that boost our creativity in one single app.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the use of the mouse on the board can provoke some small mistakes when selecting or trying to move some elements. UX can be improved, but I'm sure that it's also important to get used to the tool to take advantage of all the possibilities it offers for teamwork. That will take us some time but I'm sure the reward will be worth it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We keep more focused on working on our projects with Miro boards. For us, using templates from the app or Miroverse is an excellent upgrade to our former way of approaching our processes of work. Miro helps our team to better understand what we do and how to improve it, showing all the information in a very visual way. What you see is what you get... and you see a full bunch of tools ready to use to make a difference with your work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If your try it, your team will simply love it. It will be a great tool to improve its performance and adopt strategies that make a difference. Miro has everything to become an essential platform for your team and boost the creativity and effectiveness of your employees work. Try its templates to better understand the possibilities of its endless boards. Your achievement of objectives will surely increase.
We've run all our client workshops through Miro for last year now!
What do you like best about the product?
The tools are easy to understand in no time at all. Clients can jump into a workshop and participate right away. The board is so large and processes pretty quickly, so we've begun projects in Miro to get rolling and continue to grow that board for months, with every meeting ending up in Miro.
What do you dislike about the product?
The conference tools do work, but they're not easy to find for first-timers, and they don't yet allow breakouts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're bringing together globals teams in workshops to review research, ideate, and review product concepts. It's fantastic that anyone can continue to review the board asynchronously on their time, making our touchpoints more efficient.
Collaboration nailed on - but great as your own workbook too
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is great to use as a collaboration tool - particularly with remote teams. However, I particularly like to use it as my own workbook - helping me explore ideas, validate thinking and work through things. The templates are so helpful for this - giving structure and an easy introduction to new business tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
The account management and working out what is private, what is shared, what board is on your account, or someone else's is not intuitive. There are guest passes, members, viewers, contributors. I've run into several problems around account management at two different organisations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. My own idea generation, gathering information like a scrapbook and then developing it with the tools and templates.
2. Sharing ideas, and conducting remote workshops with others - and using the templates to help with this

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it - and spend time exploring the templates and 'miroverse'. Make sure you spend a little time learning how they deal with user roles and visibility.
The great clarifier
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is an excellent companion to explain schemes in meetings, especially in virtual ones. It is easy to use, and the cost is very convenient. The adoption was immediate.
The templates provided are great, very simple to use and to adapt. The editor is also great.

What do you dislike about the product?
So far, we did not find something that we don´t like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a marketing agency, and we are using it a lot to explain the dynamics behind digital campaigns to our customers. Adding a visual explanation is powerful and helps to increase the understanding of complex schemes. Now our meetings are much more productive using the aid given by Miro.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
My recommendation is to set up a free account. Try the product and then decide what you need. It worths a try.
The best remote workshop tool
What do you like best about the product?
It's remarkably intuitive and they've already thought of all the potential integrations you may need. I've used other remote workshop tools and all of them are clunky or somehow hard to use. This is the best one I've used. The support team is very responsive and the templates are really useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some features behind the paywall which don't seem to make sense to me. I'm not sure why certain features are paywalled and others aren't. But this is a very minor complaint.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Remote collaboration and brainstorming is more or less solved by Miro. It has the ease and adaptability of a physical whiteboard but with the added benefit of being able to connect the whiteboard with digital tools.
"Even better than on-site collaboration", said the client.
What do you like best about the product?
Miro gives all my meetings structure. Miro allows for real-time collaboration that is better than any on-site whiteboard experience. It's easy for newcomers and powerful for power users. Whether it's for workshops or to take meeting notes, my clients unanimously said they wanted to keep miro after the pandemic.
What do you dislike about the product?
Miro isn't the only tool available. Mural and Concept Board offer similar experiences. Miro probably has the most polished interface, but they are pretty much interchangeable. For a non-tech-savvy crowd without digital whiteboard experience, I'd probably opt for Google's Jamboards instead because it is less cluttered with functionality and allows for a more structured presentation. Additionally, rights management and EU-GDPR are not straightforward with Miro. Expect some effort if you introduce the tool to a big corporate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Since remote work has become the new normal, I use Miro for every meeting. Once things are written down, people can refer to it much more easily, and you can display the structure of thoughts as it emerges during the discussion.
You can mirror physical workshop spaces easily but also go beyond. It allows to show overarching context and introduces new ways of collaborating.
It's also an excellent tool to digitize the Obeya Room due to its flexibility and abundance of features.

Try the free tier. It is generally enough for the first couple of weeks. If you work in learning iterations, make it an experiement!
Quick, intuitive and creative collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
Most helpful for me is the possibility to visualize processes quickly. I can add specific colors, which fit our corporate identity. There are dozens of templates to use.
I can easily share the content and work with my colleagues on the boards, even if they are "just" guests.
I really like that the frames can be extended to any size, so it's great to fit also complex processes on the board. Having the board unlimited is a real bonus, as many frames as you like can be added and shifted around. With the presentation mode you can adapt the order of the frames during the presentation, still they stay the same order on the board, which I think is very helpful for presenting to different clients.

What do you dislike about the product?
Exporting content seems a bit tricky sometimes as it goes wrong or doesn't save. Unfortunately, you cannot export to PowerPoint which makes it complicated as I work with both of them and sometimes I need to re-do a layout as not everyone uses miro.
The zooming is a bit ennerving as it's sometimes to close or to far away or moves around.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's very adaptive, and there are a lot of quick tutorials. There are a lot of helpful integrations. For it's great to show processes and work together on the improvement.
The biggest problem I could solve was the limited space I had with other tools, that was a great improvement.

Unmatched real-time collaboration board for Workshops, agile Team Meetings and more
What do you like best about the product?
Visual Collaboration with many useful templates and suitable for large groups and anonymous participants, price plans are fair. Free for beginners.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it consumes a lot of cpu power, depending on the pc it is used on.
Some functions are a bit hidden, like changing board owners and it is not so transparent what only board owners are allowed to do versus participants.
