The whiteboard we were all missing in lockdown
What do you like best about the product?
I really love how Miro used the concept of a boring old whiteboard and made it a collaborative space online!
What do you dislike about the product?
It was difficult to get into dealing with some features if you are used to google slides, etc.
But this quickly improved.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been using Miro heavily since early 2020 and our usage skyrocketed with remote work. As a business, we collaborate and discuss a lot. For this, we either used whiteboards or stickies on a wall - Miro brings this to everyone's home, and you do not have clean the whiteboard of loose your wall of stickies ;)
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take some time to do the tutorials to understand how to use it ;)

If you're thinking of it, give it a try, I'm sure, you will not be able to imagine your life without it.
the quintessential work planning tool
What do you like best about the product?
I love the infinite scape that Miro boards offer me. I'm a visual person so I often find myself restricted when working with word documents. Naturally, Miro does a great job with letting me visualize workflows, processes, customer journeys, scenario planning, etc... We also use it to plan and flesh out our quarterly OKRs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Two things come to mind: 1) seat plans and 2) board administration
1) I can infer how product monetization works. We're a small team and we don't all need to use Miro at the same level, however it would be nice to occasionally allow team members to create and edit boards without having to stick everyone to a monthly plan. I completely understand how no business can thrive trying to please such cases though :D
2) board administration can be tricky, between sharing access as links and sharing with team etc. Took a few attempts to understand how to share boards with team members and external parties.

A great place for every day thinking, workshops and more
What do you like best about the product?
The thing I like the best about Miro is that it offers me a flexible way to digitise my thoughts and bring everything into a single place. Working across complex projects there can be a lot of documentation, and things to capture. Using Miro, I can bring all of this into one place, and analyse everything in one place, without needing to track multiple files or links. Better yet, I can share one link with colleagues who can also see all my work in one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not a lot I don't dislike - I think sometimes it can be a bit fiddly to do diagramming with, e.g. flow charts, but overall it's not that bad. One other small issue is that given there are often new features added, meaning things can move around a lot. I know that I often don't get to use everything on offer, but for the core work I do, the product is great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am working on various UX problems with people around the business. The benefit of Miro has come in being able to have everything in a single place that anyone on the team can look at, and refer to when needed. It also really helps with collaboration (especially now hybrid working is becoming more prevalent.)
Amazing remote white boarding and collaboration product
What do you like best about the product?
It just works. It is intuitive for a wide variety of people.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes inviting someone to a board doesn't work the way I'd expect.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it for product design. We collaborate on product design iterations or as a repository for all steps in the product design process.
No more losing ideas; I can add them all to Miro in no time!
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use; opens fast; allows you to just start even when you haven't things clear in your mind yet. Miro helps me clarify my ideas.
What do you dislike about the product?
After a while and intensive use, the diagrams and templates seem all a bit the same to me...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Preserving ideas; clarifying ideas; online collaboration
Great tool for collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
I like how invision let's you bring a visual aspect to work I would otherwise do in something like Google docs or in an outline. It's great to be able to actually draw and block things out, like using a whiteboard
What do you dislike about the product?
I am used to working in PowerPoint, so I sometimes get overwhelmed by the open space invision offers. I don't know where things should start or end because it's just so vast-- but if I'm using a template or working with a designer who can kind of help me set up the board it's much easier!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Invision allows me to translate a lot of written copy in a visual way, to essentially storyboard things virtually, so my time can collaborate without being in a physical room and using physical sticky notes and a real wall
Working remotely in no prob with Miro
What do you like best about the product?
Online no limit collaboration with my team in Mito is the best thing I like about the tool. We do everything in Miro - project planning, brainstoms, presentations, design. Imagine what you can do in your notes or on a classic classroom board, multiply it by 10 and you get Miro functionality.
What do you dislike about the product?
I know that Miro is not primarily used for presentations, but would be nice to have more flexible import\export feature for PPT and PDF files. The rest is completely fine.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Miro for teamwork, for education purposes, for presentations, for planning and discussing ideas when working remotely. Commenting, and adding notes in Miro is easy, and with embedded chat and video I think Miro can soon replace some other messengers and video conferencing apps we use. One app for everything, who could imagine that was ever possible.
My go-to app for collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Miro allows us to keep multiple types of documentation within our org space. It's versatility led to Miro becoming a first choice tool to do multitude of things, such as:
- design explorations
- sprint planning
- presentations
- online workshops
- knowledge sharing.

What do you dislike about the product?
My main concern is navigation across boards' directory. When our boards' directory grew to a considerable amount, it became difficult to find a particular board I actually need. There is a possibility to star a board, but somehow it doesn't meet my needs fully. Another thing related to it is that many boards are idle for months and nobody archives or deletes them. I'd love to seem some clearer distinction between recent boards and those that seem long out of use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Live collaboration between remote teams became buttery smooth once we adopted MIro as our digital whiteboard. Also, it helps to asynchronuosly share knowledge. Moreover, Miro replaced PowerPoint for presentations for some teams due to its flexibility and ease of use.
InVision Freehand makes virtual whiteboarding simple, making collaboration easy wherever we are.
What do you like best about the product?
Starting from a blank canvas with the basic tools is quick and easy. Templates save us time on things that we repeat from week to week.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pasted images can be slow to load. Diagramming was difficult, with the line tool's settings to make arrows being cumbersome, but it looks like that has improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've used Freehand for running project brainstorming sessions, team retrospectives. We also use Freehand for braindumps to use when onboarding new team members, and it now serves as an organically-created information repository.
