Facilitated Team Organization and Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
I use Miro for application design and it helps me make the flows very visible and organized. I really like the diagrams we can create and how we can place diagram pages within the canvas. This helps organize the ideas and applications we have as a team, collaborating more effectively. The transition from Excalidraw to Miro was easy because I found Miro more user-friendly. The initial setup was very easy, as it was already configured in the organization, I just had to create a team and start drawing. I also appreciate the pen option for freehand drawing, which helps me point things out or write notes by hand on my tablet.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think that within the diagram functionality, some options are hidden, such as using free markings and others. We could have more options there.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro makes the flows very visible and organized, helps to organize ideas and applications as a team, allowing for more effective collaboration.
Effortless Real-Time Collaboration with Versatile Templates
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate how simple it is to collaborate with others in real time. I also enjoy the freedom to create whatever we want, and the templates are extremely helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
The amount of resources this software uses can be a problem, especially on computers that have limited memory and CPU. When running it on less powerful machines, I notice it consumes a significant portion of the system's resources.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In a remote work environment, Miro brings everyone together and helps us collaborate effectively.
Perfect for Collaborative Interior Design, Needs Enhanced Navigation
What do you like best about the product?
I just like how you can be messy with it, but you can also be very organized if you choose to be. You can set up a very messy collage and everyone can just kind of throw in ideas, and then you can kind of pick and pick from there and start to clean it up as you go. I also really like the boards and how you can present it, almost like a PowerPoint, that's really nice. I've found it to be very helpful, and I want my firm to start using it a little bit more because it's very easy and intuitive to use. Honestly, the setup was pretty easy. We used one of the premade templates and kind of edited it to our workflow, and it was easy for an intern who'd never used Miro before to figure out.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes zooming in and navigating around the boards is confusing, and I tend to get lost, especially when there's a lot on the screen. The text size is also an issue as it's very tiny when you first type it, making it hard to read. I feel like these aspects of navigation and text could be more intuitive. Additionally, Miro seems very tailored to product and UX design rather than architecture and interior design, as reflected in the premade templates available. Architecture templates would be helpful, I know a few architecture firms use it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro allows me to collaborate with colleagues easily and organize conceptual designs more freely. It's more freeing than saving in folders, especially beneficial for our hybrid setup.
Great asset to the workflow
What do you like best about the product?
I really like using Miro because it lets me think visually and work through ideas in a way that feels natural. I find it especially helpful for bringing people together, whether that’s brainstorming, planning, or mapping out complex projects. Everything can live on one board, so it’s easy to see how ideas evolve and keep a shared understanding over time.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I dislike about Miro is that boards can become overwhelming if they aren’t kept tidy, especially on larger projects. I’ve also found that performance can slow down on very busy boards, and some features feel a bit locked behind higher-priced plans. It’s a great tool overall, but it does need a bit of discipline to keep things clear and easy to navigate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro solves the problem of scattered ideas and disconnected collaboration. It gives me one shared space where thinking, discussion, and decisions can happen together, instead of being spread across documents, slides, and messages. This benefits me by making it easier to align people quickly, visualise complex topics, and keep context and rationale in one place, which saves time and reduces misunderstandings.
Intuitive Organization, But Needs Better Alignment Tools and Pricing
What do you like best about the product?
Intuitive to use. Great way to do a "brain dump" and organize different sources of data into one centralized place to start planning and strategizing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Missing core features like "Align all", etc. You have to manually align each object and when you have a huge board, it very time consuming to "clean up" your board.
Pricing is expensive for each additional seat. Would be great to get a discount for every x amount of seats you add to your team.
AI templates are underwhelming.

Organizing data from different sources in one centralized location that can be shared.
Empowers Remote Collaboration for Design Teams
What do you like best about the product?
I like the simplicity of being able to share the link and have everyone looking at the same board at the same thing. I also appreciate the ability to collaborate over a video call. The feature helps us by enabling us to collaborate over something visual, and we can use some of the elements and tools on the application, add notes, and just talk about where we are taking the design. This is the key value that we get from using Miro.
What do you dislike about the product?
Just some of the smaller interactions, the audience has a hard time learning the ways that Miro works as compared to other applications. There is a bit of a different way of navigating so that takes some getting used to. And when creating or drafting tables, or other elements, some of the snapping causes some pain points. You can't group shapes or elements inside of a table cell, and need to first drag them outside. Also, drawing lines, for example, they auto snap. And, it would be nice if you could have a bit more manual control over how lines are drawn.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro for remote collaboration in service design, allowing us to gather input from diverse experts. It simplifies sharing, letting everyone view the same board and collaborate over video calls effectively.
A great UX research and workshopping tool
What do you like best about the product?
Its biggest strength is how collaborative it is. I can easily bring in stakeholders who have no experience with Miro and conduct workshops, set up workshops quickly, and easily synthesize data from research. My favorite feature is copy and pasting data from Excel cells as stickies in Miro, which speeds up clustering/affinity mapping process.
What do you dislike about the product?
The tables are really frustrating to work with. If I need a clean table I use Figma, if I need to work with raw data or lots of data I use Excel, but I use Miro a lot for UX research projects and need organized info to reference. I like that the table feature was added (as opposed to just grids) but it still feels clunky and hard to work with.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I mainly use it for UX Research projects to sort raw data and theme/cluster. It's a reference point for different projects since I can dump text and images, quickly create diagrams to pass onto PMs or UXDs, and work out thoughts before I generate research reports. A secondary use is bringing stakeholders together to come to a consensus or tackle an issue in rapid sessions. Workshopping, especially with Miro templates and timers, facilitates organized discussions that lead to actionable outcomes.
Excellent Collaboration Tool to navigate complex workflows on a daily basis
What do you like best about the product?
Miro offers a highly collaborative experience. It makes participating in multi-team projects straightforward, allowing you to easily see your role within a project while also visualizing the overall picture. Managing the complexities of projects with multiple stakeholders has never been this simple.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes time to adjust the formating of each section and element. The more complex the scheme, with elements from multiple categories, the longer time is needed to make it appear clearly and lisible for others to follow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro makes it easier for me to coordinate with teams on complex workflows. It ensures everyone stays accountable and has a clear understanding of their role in the process. The platform is colorful, lively, and easy to navigate.
Endless Insights, Mild Loading Delays
What do you like best about the product?
I like the way I can display numerous insights with Miro, and the fact that it's endless is a big plus for me. I also really value the visualization tools in Miro; they're probably what I appreciate the most.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes there is a problem with loading. So it loads slowly sometimes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can see everything structured in one place with numerous images and presentation slides.
Simplicity and Speed Make Miro a Collaborative Must-Have
What do you like best about the product?
I use Miro for almost any group work, especially in my university architecture studies. I really like having a common, always accessible whiteboard for ideas, mindmaps, and moodboards, and for defining a common design philosophy. What stands out to me is the easy and fast interactivity, like being able to upload link images and text, and then draw on top of that or add comments. The power of Miro is in its simplicity. I can quickly upload a lot of data points, group them, comment, and share. That's what I use the most. Although I know there are many presets and other, more complex tools, for my workflow, the ease of use and speed are what matter the most.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not that it doesn't work well, but I find it a bit annoying that I have to take a screenshot from some website I want to share and then add a link to it. So if the page is really long, it can be difficult to find the exact place I took a screenshot of. I would like to see an implementation of an interactive screenshot where you can 'import' an image of a part of a webpage, but then when you click on it, it gets you to the exact spot of the page. Also, you can only have 3 boards if you use the free version, and I found the concept of 'teams' a bit confusing, like how that works and how to leave a board or the group. Maybe it would be nice to be able to save a board as a file if you leave the Miro board.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro provides a common, always accessible whiteboard for ideas, mindmaps, and moodboards. It helps in defining a common design philosophy.
