Simple, Efficient, and Brilliant: Miro
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Miro is the ability to collaborate with my colleagues, and to share our ideas and concepts with one another. It's great that we can leave sticky notes and comments (especially in different colours which is great for colour coding purposes!) for one another on our ideas to further explore our concepts virtually. I also love the range of different types of boards and mindmaps that we can use to help share and collaborate with one another in a virtual setting. Being able to see who's online at the time is also another great bonus to using Miro.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not much that I dislike about Miro, but sometimes the boards can be a bit slow to load, this could be because of the file sizes myself and my colleagues are trying to upload and view. Other than that, there's not much else to dislike about Miro!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problems myself and my colleagues are solving with Miro are through live, virtual collaboration with one another. It's been beneficial, especially during these unprecedented times, to be able to work and communicate with each our virtually, from home, while still feeling like we're working together in the same space.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're thinking about using Miro, give it a try! It's the perfect solution to collaborating virtually with your team.
Covid made me explore the seamless integrations in Miro & now Miro is there in most meetings.
What do you like best about the product?
I am a Business Analyst, Miro's integration with Jira, Gsuite and wireframes are my right hands now. And the templates - they are savior. And you don't have to erase to make space. "What's new" section - OMG, I have never been so interested to read product updates. I can go on. I also like how it keeps us organized with timer option
What do you dislike about the product?
On the top of my head is When I loose my formatting while converting card to Jira.. I just say when will Miro prioritise this issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro for Story telling(presentation feature) and run all kinds of workshops in Miro
I use it for collaborating on Designs and setting priorities, Brain storming, for defining processes, Models and what not

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is the future not only of Remote work. It is one of those tools that you can't imagine to not have when you talk about culture, collaboration, Productivity and environmental responsibility be it any industry. Even if you are running a workshop with everyone in Office, think twice before using physical stationary now for workshops and the amount of time that goes into entering all the outcomes into other collaboration platforms which Miro seamlessly integrates with. Miro has helped me create a highly collaborative environment for my geographically distributed teams and raised engagement to a level never seen before. Miro enables me to break any complex discussion into a simple story
Amazing collaboration tool. Revolutionizing the way we work, but more importantly, the way we think!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the freedom that exists in Miro. We are so often strangled by the limitations of the applications we use. I won't name names, but certain other monopolistic software companies I find to keep everyone in pigeoned into their way of working. Miro allows you to be creative and work in the way you think. We have found endless possibilities in Miro on our Strategy and Transformation team. Without Miro, especially in COVID, I don't know how we would do what we do.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is always something wrong with software, no matter how good it is. There are bugs in Miro, and we have submitted tickets. It seems like they are expanding so rapidly they can't keep up with the ticket requests. We would love to see Miro be more responsive to our IT tickets/
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Miro to run Design Thinking and Value Stream Mapping exercises with our clients. We also have used it in other ways, like software design and configuration. It is perfect for anything and has replaced other tools that held us on a tighter rope. Using Miro is freeing!

Try it out!
A new way to collaborate
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best is the ability to interact live with my colleagues, without having to use zoom, and through such a visually digestible platform. We're able to independently work on structuring out our ideas without interfering with each other, while staying motivated simply through the shared experience of knowing we're all there together. The chat function is handy for quick questions, the comment section allows us to leave notes and discuss very specific parts of the board, and then the ability to screen share or video chat quickly is a very powerful way to stay within the board in moments where we do need to discuss something more intensively.
What do you dislike about the product?
There really isn't anything specific to the core product functionality that I dislike. I could definitely do without the notifications above the 'question mark' icon (the Learn & Inspire section). It is ambiguous, distracting, and calls my attention for subject matter that I would prefer to find out on my own without a specific prompt always being there on my display.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Academic paper writing, research project planning, experimental design, and importantly, how to collaborate without suffering on zoom! I have realized that there are ways to collaborate meaningfully online without necessarily having to bump into each other on google docs or endure endless hours on Zoom.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it to collaborate with your team and brainstorm ways to structure a project. Don't use it if you need to paste a LOT of outside images, it does not support a whole lot of screen caps.
Best Collaboration Tool Hands Down!
What do you like best about the product?
simple to use and very smooth and fast!!
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing, but this form G2 form is rubbish!! I have to type bare minimum number of characters, but it is not telling that is the case, only that this question is required! so 10/10 for Miro, -1 for G2
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Every day BAU problems, to fully defining complex customer journeys.
We are also able to achieve a greater degree of collaboration across our business, meaning we can get on and collaborate and not lets the tools get in the way or restrict us.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
A simple, effective and regularly updated. Miro is head and shoulder above the competition, jam packed with the features you need to take the pain out of team collaboration helping you get the important work done.
Effective real-time collaboration for planning, ideation, and workshops - recommend!
What do you like best about the product?
I was an early user of RealTimeBoard and found the idea great, but execution not quite there. With the rebrand to Miro the product has taken a leap forward!
The smooth ability to collaborate on a large open board has proved invaluable in several situations - art/idea boards, running retros, quarter planning, cross-team collaboration, value mapping, the list goes on.
The recently quick updates and feature additions have been good to see and welcome.
I've used Miro in a startup setting, with remote co-founders. It was really good as an asynch platform to update early ideas and user stories while refining the idea. Even on the free tier, the available templates really helped to frame thinking and speed us up, as we didn't have to go from scratch.

What do you dislike about the product?
I found the Mac app to be slow and resource heavy. It does seem to have improved, but I still use the web interface most of the time. It would be nice to be able to turn off only my cursor at times.
I've had trouble with adding integrations.
I've had trouble with adding integrations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have had two use cases: 1. In a bigger company on a design focussed project, and 2. A early stage startup idea, pre-seed.
The first was around having large, collaborative art board space where designs and ideas could be viewed, commented on, and adapted, both in real time workshops and asynchronous.
The second was about using ideation tools, such as business canvases, or user story design, to help flesh out and validate an idea. Using one board to cross multiple areas and find the overlaps really helped in determining our flow when creating our story.

An infinite whiteboard ... that's grown beyond my imagination
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to organise all and any kind of content into a single space, re-arrange it, mash it together and create a presentation out of it at the end.
It's the only platform that allows me to work smoothly with many people at the same time, bringing us close as it's possible to the feeling of standing together and physically drawing on the board or putting up sticky notes.
The templates Miro have introduced over time have promoted me and my friends to push the boundaries of what we use Miro for, moving away from simple note-taking, through mind mapping all the way to sophisticated facilitation of workshops involving multiple groups and tools like story mapping.

What do you dislike about the product?
It's now overwhelming to new users, so I have to continuously tell them what not to use
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In this world of complete remote working that is the ultimate collaboration tool for me and my teams. We would be able to understand and direct problems without Miro.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start small and simple, don't jump into templates too early, get familiar with the basics of setting up the board and helping others navigate around. When you and the team have had a few attempts at working together you'll find using the templates actually helping, rather than hindering.
Product Manager
What do you like best about the product?
Miro promotes creativity. When I open up a blank board, I don't feel lost, I feel like I have multiple functions that can help me get started with either a pre-made template, or just start creating ways to promote clarity and engagement. I use Miro for RFX Procurement Research, to bring alignment in research projects, for team retros, and to communicate workflows/processes. I often use it for a way to organize even my thoughts or ideas.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only challenge is when you have multiple objects close together, and you aren't able to select a particular one. A thought to fix this, is if you are able to scroll through selected objects through the arrow keys or something, instead of having to pull out objects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use MIRO to help solve problems that we experience through our development teams, such as coordination challenges.Some other examples include: We use MIRO to solve problems around team efficiencies with the Kanban. We have revamped our Program Level Kanban, and we wanted a simple way to capture prototypes which promote quick understanding with little effort to "build". Remote can be challenging, and its really hard to find ways to match the in person experience. Miro, in some examples has excelled past the in person experiences, and has honestly promoted a better way of engaging.
Excellent tool, going from strength to strength
What do you like best about the product?
Miro goes from strength to strength - almost every day there is some enhancement to the functionality.
It is by far and away the most powerful, versatile collaborative tool I've used (and I've tried them all and use Miro since it was called Realtimeboard).
It performs brilliantly even as a simple whiteboard, right up to many sophisticated features.
One feature I love is the ability to upload and deconstruct multi-page documents - google slide decks, pdfs, etc - which makes reviewing a document (and staying oriented in a large document) and absolute breeze, massively reducing the cognitive load.
Welldone team Miro.

What do you dislike about the product?
The templating functionality for some more technical uses could be improved, such as for process modelling using industry standard business process modelling techniques like BPMN.
At the moment, its limitations in this area stop the organisation that I'm working at from adopting the tool fully - instead they're using niche rival Lucidchart for this purpose and Miro for everything else, within the UX community and so on.
(Team Miro I think you're missing a trick on this one.)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visualising complex information; facilitating discussions with / communication between disparate groups of people; having a free format canvas to organise my own analysis.
The best tool I could find to collaborate and replace whiteboard physical sessions
What do you like best about the product?
It's a tool that it's very easy to master and that works for all of the dynamics that my teams have. Things like creative problem-solving sessions, discovery sessions, brainstorming sessions, retrospectives and post-mortems. My teams have been using Miro to great effect and in some cases have changed their off-line processes to include Miro as a working tool.
For me, the things that really add value are the community templates, but I would expect nothing else form a tool that fosters communities to work collaboratively.

What do you dislike about the product?
The pandemic as seen a slew of updates with Miro trying to support and do more. We've found some bugs in the voting mechanism, so that needs some addressing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro came into widespread use at my company due to the pandemic where we needed something to replace meetings around a whiteboard, and for that effect, it worked really well.
Additionally, having a tool like Miro also changed some development team processes, making Miro the de facto problem design tool. Where before we documented in confluence what we drew, now we create everything in Miro and consolidate in Confluence and Jira. Of particular interest is the Jira integration where we do problem breakdown and story mapping and integrate to Jira once we are ready.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't waste time looking for other tools. It will do what you need and the community support (templates) will make your life easier and even show you some things you didn't know about!
