Best digital whiteboard for remote trainings and workshops
What do you like best about the product?
Since a lot of people is working from home, I needed to switch my way of working as well. Now, leading remote trainings and workshops is my daily business. What I missed the most at the beginning was the possibility to activate everybody during the training sessions. I tested several digital whiteboards and then decided to use Miro, because I'm missing not one feature and my customers are getting familiar with the tool in five minutes. It is fun and it is very professional at the time. I'm preparing my boards in advance, storing them as a template, so I can use them several times.
Miro is the reason why not only I love remote workshops but I even prefer them to classroom trainings now.
After the training, I download the board as a pdf and send it to my customers, instead of the photo protocol that was usually sent out before.
By the way - several of my customers use Miro for their daily teamwork after having worked with me on a Miro board.

Miro is the best tool our design agency has discovered so far to connect different teams for collaboration. We are using it throughout our process from brainstorming to client presention, delivering content to IT or even presenting ideas inside our team and externally. It has really simple and intuitive user interface which is easy to use. Hassle free invitations for board viewing, edition and account creation is a great feature – it allows stakeholders to seamlessly join and collaborate. We've tested Miro in multiple usages scenarios, on one occasion there was about 30 users connected to the board, working simultaneously without any glitches!
Most prominent part of our daily work that Miro has made much easier to do is participatory design. It's a process when multiple stakeholders have to particpate in workshops in real time. Talking, writing, making flowcharts, sticky-noting, etc. It has been a struggle for facilitators to work with multiple people via Keynote and conference calls, but since we've transferred to Miro, this process has been greatly improved.
For me, Miro greatest benefit is the ability to seamlessly connect different teams: strategists, designers, copywriters, programers and even engage clients to participate in the process. I am using Miro for designing flowcharts, brainstorming and copywriting, but have even tried basic sketching, successfully. It has opened new possibilities for new team working models.

If you need to collaborate with different stakeholders, teams, departaments, etc. Miro is the best tool for it
I used Miro since it was named Realtime Board, happy with it since then.
What do you like best about the product?
When I found about the tool years ago, for me, the most crucial part was to bring and store digitally all workshops that I was conducting in a physical environment, so all those stickies that were placed all over the wall could be revisited in the future so it wasn't a matter of a fun day exploring or an ideation session, but I could use them to share the knowledge and decisions taken that day and revisit whenever was needed.
Nowadays, for me, the best is the collaborative way of working in Miro and also the fact that you can align with multiple stakeholders over the same board without being in the same room.

What do you dislike about the product?
The different projects are stored because, by default, they all go to the dashboard in an immense list. I know now you can create projects but still...
I would improve the way of importing screenshots from Figma to Miro. Sometimes annotations get mixed between the actual "Comments' functionality, and some other participants make comments directly on a sticky, which makes the communication to be held in different channels within the same tool and also normally, the comments on stickies usually are more taken into account, and the ones under the comments functionality go unnoticed

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Remote workshops, aligned with Developers and product teams. It helps us (UX designers) to be involved during the decision making and ideation together with the rest of the stakeholders and we sometimes create wireframes quickly at the moment of ideation so stakeholders can have more visual ideas
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Long time user, and it has done nothing but improve
Miro helped us to switch from offline to online during hard times in a breeze
What do you like best about the product?
Collaboration in real times with multiple people. Seeing what everybody is doing. Following what somebody is doing on the board.
Having access to templates to facilitate all kinds of meetings. And not to forget: infinite canvas!

What do you dislike about the product?
wish you could somehow integrate video meetings better. Would love an integration within a zoom or teams meeting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Brainstorming with teams in a digital setting is nr. 1. With that I don't just mean getting new ideas on a board, but even visualising and supporting online group discussions. Making a simple scheme of a proces, showing it to the team and the ability for everyone to add and adjust it to get a complete picture that everybody agrees on.
What also is really helpfull is the fact that you engage people a lot more during digital meetings. You can stimulate people not just to sit and talk, but actively get involved on the board.

The best online collaboration tool for workshops, trainings, meetings, ideation!
What do you like best about the product?
Plenty of tools and features! It has a wide range of usability, it is great for engaging the participants of workshops and trainings. Great tool to visualize the content that is being talked about. Ability to connect also websites, other softwares etc. And I love I can use Miro on iPad and draw in it/write in it with Apple Pencil.
What do you dislike about the product?
complexity of the features, not that easy to learn to use it - new users have troubles quickly navigating around - in case they do not get a guided onboarding to Miro. Integration within MS Teams - it would be great if it would be embedded in the Teams calls so that we do not have to swith to the browser/app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
brainstorming, retrospective, sharing training materials, running workshops on various topics, mapping processes, mapping progress, visualization of discussed topics, links to other resources, ice-breakers, engagement tool during large meetings, innovations, onboarding, getting a "temperature" check of how people feel in the organization, getting anonymous feedback from the employees, agenda planning
Essential in my day to day
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to share my work in real time
What do you dislike about the product?
Not having the opportunity to use ruler and guides
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In my team, we work with people in different locations and it is great to be able to share all the information regarding the projects with them and see what each person has changed at all times.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro makes meetings more productive and fun, workshops can be organized or processes monitored, it is an ideal tool for organizing and sharing projects and ideas.
The most seamless digital collaboration experience!
What do you like best about the product?
Miro understands the need for a digital whiteboard and collaboration tool. How information needs to be organised, how people will interact and collaborate to get to outcomes, structures and visual representation of data that needs to be put together to get there. Not only understanding and providing a set of tools to help you get there, but also allowing the community to contribute with templates and different experiences that other teams can reuse. The continuous improvements added to the tool, like the recent timer with background music, show that the Miro is evolving and responding to customer needs at the right pace.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are not enough colours for post-it notes which sometimes can limit your options. The timer extension (add a minute) sometimes does not work or resets the timer to the original count.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro helps me solve complex facilitation around business rules, team retrospectives, visual management board solutions, visual representation of organizational structures, decision-making, hierarchies of work. The realized benefits are enhanced understanding of what is being discussed, the ability for introverts and extroverts to have a say, enhanced collaboration, and divide-and-conquer type of work.
Miro the future of collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
I love it's continual improvement, key collaboration tools and their templates are next level.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the interface isn't perfectly intuitive and at times it's hard for my clients to easily get how to use the tool natively.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sharing and collaboration on key images, models and frameworks has always been hard with simple screen sharing. I can pre save boards and share them with loaded imagery and tools and they are ready to go. My clients can own their own workspace to build out aspects of what is most important to their progress.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Dive in and get creative! So many features and use cases for Miro to be an effective investment.
Did not expect to love it as much as I do
What do you like best about the product?
I really love how flexible Miro is. You can use it as a whiteboard, a digital corkboard, an interactive workspace. It really helps me to collaborate in Covid times. One of the things I like to do is put up a draft proposal, for example, and have stakeholders comment on sentences or ideas or data that they want to add information to, or correct, or question. Miro lets me know who said what, and it also lets others respond. These comments and responses can be anonymous or with names.
What do you dislike about the product?
Two things, and one I think is unavoidable. It does so much that it's easy to get lost in it. The second is that when I invite people to collaborate, it's not easy at first for them, and sometimes I get complaints. Miro has comment boxes that anyone can use, but it takes a bit of skill to do more than that to collaborate on a project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm doing quite a lot with Miro right now. It lets me collaborate online with proposals and problem solving projects. I also like how it allows me to put images or even worksheets up to support professional development workshops. I can run voting activities with Miro to help get insights into what the group is thinking. And I can move all the work into other formats to move it to the next stage.
Nice tool for product design and online people dynamics
What do you like best about the product?
Collaboration is the best feature. Also the templates are great. The way templates are available increases my productivity. Also the ease to manipulate the interface and elements are awesome. It is possible to do almost anything you want collaboratively in a quicky way. Past to covid every dynamic such as design thinking, design sprint and product interview loops were done phisically and Miro brought the enablement to have a similar experience on the web (online) - So it is what it is - now I am able to keep using the tools and mechanisms I am used to collaboratively and online. It's possible to comment, suggest and make interactions and editions online, with a history on what has changed on the board to track the editions and to rollback if you want to. I really recommend Miro for people who is responsible for leading a team or developing a product. For education purposes this is also true - you can explain in a visual way much better and easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not applicable. There's no dislike points on Miro. I think Miro could give an incentive to content producers (templates and other content). I would suggest Miro to develop a feature to chat and videochat inside the platform to improve collaboration.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Product design and strategy and, due to pandemic situation, a bit of people meetings collaborative dynamics.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is outstanding on collaborative tooling. Also miro has a big difference on experience and is designed do easily be used by diverse teams, not only technology companies but even for education and other purposes.
