Great for Software Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
I have been trying out Miro with a couple of software projects that I have been managing recently. And having my team and I work remotely from home, being able to share the boards with them have been super helpful. The developer was able to update the board quickly, whenever, and wherever. The rest of the team gets notified when changes are made. This helps me keep on top of things. We update the board as we discuss the changes, using stickies, etc. Being able to embed documents and images is super helpful, too. All in, my team and I love using Miro!
What do you dislike about the product?
Being limited to 3 boards but then again, we are using the free version, so we can't complain. Will definitely consider going for the paid version
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project managment. Find that it's now much easier and faster to keep track of project status - especially when I can add notes for the developers to act and laying out the project scope
Comprehensive Collaboration With Room to Improve Certain Tools
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to collaborate. Live editing and comments make it easy to connect with my team while we're remote. The functionality of Miro is fantastic because it does a lot. You can build anything you need- charts, wireframes, diagrams, etc. the versatility makes it the go-to tool. Other platforms only do some of it or leave an important part out, but Miro is essentially seamless. The PDF tool is beneficial, and the ability to extract specific pages is a feature I haven't seen on any other platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm missing some basic functionality like snap to grid while holding shift. The pen tool could be handy, but I'm terrible at using my computer mouse and would benefit from holding shift to help me draw a straight line. The arrow tool is also a little finicky and gives me some trouble, it attaches when I don't want it to and doesn't attach when I want it to, but it could just be user error. Other than that it's a great platform
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps my team stay connected and organized in real-time, avoiding delays. The fact that it saves automatically has been a lifesaver for me. One of the most beneficial elements has been that it's helped me streamline my workflow and avoid having to use 10 different applications.
Excellent creative tool but lacks better knowledge base
What do you like best about the product?
Miro board is the most fantastic tool to explore any concepts, flow diagram, and so on with the team. Apart from this, it caters to tons of already made templates and ideas that we can select as our particular business needs. I love its feature called Miroverse, which is a kind of universe of templates.
What do you dislike about the product?
Our experience has been that Miro's knowledge base is very restricted. We often have problems while onboarding new team members and working with them within a team. They frequently get confused or face difficulties throughout the collaboration.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro has been a pleasure to work with on the whole. Even during the peak stage of the global pandemic caused by COVID-19, we have been able to work flawlessly and more creatively all online through this tool.
Work with your team wherever you are on Miro
What do you like best about the product?
This creative tool is not only for drawing, planning, or creating only. Instead, it allows real-time sharing, collaboration, and chatting. The most important thing is that its video calling feature significantly boosts productivity even while the team works remotely.
What do you dislike about the product?
Miro is seriously limited in several areas. Examples include that exporting files is restricted to specified formats only, that capturing frames before exporting is required, and that there is currently no method to establish a translucent background in the exported files.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To summarize the experience while using Miro, we are pretty satisfied. It delivers more than it should because we already enjoy its creative whiteboard that allows idea creation, mapping, strategy making in real-time working within a team from anywhere online.
Miro is Jack of all but master of creative planning
What do you like best about the product?
I particularly love following things about Miro.
1. It offers an unlimited digital whiteboard, where users can draw or create as per their need and capture or generate them by using frames into various file formats.
2. Collaboration, communication, and file sharing are all possible in real-time with this application.
3. It also has a particular feature called Miroverse, which contains tons of prebuilt templates and designs to choose from.
4. Best for a more creative way of planning and managing things.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the notable downsides of Miro includes:
1. The pricing plan is costly as they charge per user.
2. Not very ideal for an entire project or task management regularly.
3. Not suitable for designing powerful presentations and transitions.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Even though there are certain advantages and disadvantages to using Miro, the overall experience has been positive thus far because it provides too many capabilities in a single application. However, we find it particularly useful for creative planning and brainstorming, whether done independently or as a group, because it includes an integrated team communication function.
Miro allows for easy collaboration in a virtual work world.
What do you like best about the product?
I love the number of tools available to show what you are envisioning visually and being able to communicate this with team members.
What do you dislike about the product?
There really are no cons for me when using Miro. The only negative is that my co-workers don't completely understand how it functions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration and visually drawing marketing activities are a lot easier virtually. This would be even a tool I would use back in the office to plan for campaigns and customer journeys more effectively.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider the gap that you have in your workplace. Do you want to explain a concept without a whiteboard better? Are you in a virtual setting? Even if you are not a creative/executor, how do you communicate better with your team?
Miro - An environment where ideas can be expressed creatively, shared easily and improved constantly
What do you like best about the product?
Visual - Miro encourages you to express ideas using visual elements. By default, we communicate ideas using words (written and verbal). Words are helpful when trying to remove ambiguity around a reasonably well-understood subject. However, in the early stages of an idea (e.g., brainstorming), an image/visual representation may be more effective. It communicates the essentials of an idea very quickly. It prompts the viewer to understand the concept in their own words. It does not overwhelm the viewer with peripheral information. Miro allows you to use words but provides the most value when you restrict them. It's not a giant word processing document. It's more like a vast canvas. Miro provides plenty of space so your idea isn't limited to what can fit on a single slide or page. Miro makes getting started with an idea, project, or proposal much less painful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Movement Tracker - When you're on a Miro board, an item hovers over the board to let other people know exactly where you are. During a meeting this feature is brilliant. It enables participants to know they're looking at the same thing. When creating a diagram this is less helpful. As a general rule, it's nice to work in silence until your idea is ready to be revealed. The "movement-tracker" can attract unecessary attention. Comments/feedback while you're in the process of creating aren't always helpful. They may stall the creative process and turn it into a bug-fixing exercise. There may be a feature that allows you to disable this "movement-tracker". I'll explore further.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're building an application that allows mentors to share knowledge, skills, and experience with mentees. What are the essential things a mentee or mentor would like to do? If someone joins as a mentee and decides they'd like to be a mentor, what process will they go through? Which similar applications currently exist? These are some of the questions we're discussing. Miro allows us to present many ideas on one board. The images don't have to be closely linked or set out in a particular way. All diagrams can be freely reviewed, discussed, re-reviewed, and expanded. Miro makes all of this very easy. It's much more straightforward to track developments on one board than it would be to follow updates made to multiple documents.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Dive in. You won't regret it. It isn't a replacement for other tools you may currently use, e.g., word processors, spreadsheets, and presentations. It's a highly effective way to summarise concepts that may be spread across various documents and bring them together in one place.
Miro is not just fantastic; it's moreover funtastic
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate how quickly and easily I can draw and plot the entire thought process that I have in mind to have a clear vision and insights into what I brainstorm. Furthermore, it has built-in team collaboration and productivity features that let our entire team work together on various strategic and planning-related tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
This tool is helpful for creative diagramming and strategic planning on a specific topic. Still, it is not suitable for routine content creation or task management in the manner of Asana, Todoist, and other similar tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A digital whiteboard with no limits, Miro allows me to draw and map whatever I think of on one side while simultaneously recording it on the other. However, I collaborate closely with colleagues in important project planning and strategy situations as if we were both sitting at the same desk.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
An individual or a team who only thinks within their head but struggles to visualize them into reality should try the Miro visual collaboration tool.
Almost Perfect
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is a fantastic collaboration tool. I use this regularly to conduct collaboration sessions within my team, to generate ideas (alone), and to orchestrate tightly-knit, high-profile workshops and work sessions with departments and executives within my organization. The tools are easy to use, there is a relatively low learning curve for new users (the basics can be learned in minutes), and powerful features like voting, timers, music and the ability to hide and show canvases are a true win. In a world where remote work is more commonplace, it is hard to imagine getting certain work done as efficiently without Miro. I'm a fan.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some elements of Miro that limit is function. One is the inability to assign "roles" to boards based on user type. For example, as a board owner, I can hide/show frames... but a co-facilitator cannot. So, if I'm sick or cannot make a meeting and boards are hidden, I'm out of luck unless I can transfer ownership to someone else. It would be nice to be able to assign more than own "owner" to a board so those controls can be shared. Licensing is challenging too. I know some competing products allow "free" use of the tool when invited to work in a board, but for a limited time. In our situation any user that needs to be able to "edit" a board must be a licensed user... and that process causes friction and ill-will before people have even used the tool. If working with external clients, the need for privacy is important too, so the ability to set up boards as private, restricting the type of content that is accessible externally, is important.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Miro's built-in templates and create our own. We've submitted templates to the Miroverse and have designed boards that have become a standard within (and beyond) our organizations. Many of us that lead workshops are professional designers and have been leading in-person workshops for years. It's all about creating the ideal end-user experience for participants. Working in a virtual environment has resulted in new challenges (Zoom fatigue, etc) so we've had to invent new ways of creating engaging experiences and this tool helps us do some of that. We've used Miro to create broad (and specific) ideas, orchestrate stand-ups and sprint retrospectives, plan long-term events and educational plans, document discussion, prioritize initiatives, vote on ideas, and many, many more. My team uses this took more than any other software product, especially in a remote-work environment. Even if we were doing things in-person, Miro lets us capture (and retain) our work... unlike a traditional wall or whiteboard.
It boosts creativity & productivity among remote teams
What do you like best about the product?
The most beautiful feature of Miro is the ability to collaborate in real-time while we work virtually through using its live chats and audio calls features. Besides, what's more, powerful is that we can do many operations through Miro, such as concept maps, creativity, and program workflow modeling.
What do you dislike about the product?
Miro would be much better if it had a note-taking capability. Instead of having to open an additional note-taking app every time, I'd want to have a place where I can write down notes on items that don't appear while I'm sharing my screen.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To summarize, our team has significantly benefitted from the use of Miro, which has resulted in improved cooperation and increased productivity, particularly in the area of business process management.
