Miro - My One-Stop-Shop for All Things Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Miro is the ability to collaborate over virtually anything! As a Strategic Business Analyst and Project Manager, I often have to brainstorm, conceptualize and facilitate discussions around strategies, plans and concepts within the business. Miro is my go-to whenever I have to start something new because if I am stuck and do not know where to begin, there are tons of templates and suggestions which I can build off. The interface and elements are intuitive which makes it so much easier to edit and adapt any existing templates to suit my business scenario.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have been using Miro for a number of months now and I guess sometimes, the choices at my disposal make for a stumbling block with getting started. However, this is something that time, practice and experience will eventually solve. In a recent webinar, I was introduced to the Miro Academy which is a trove of information that is helping me get acquainted with the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am predominantly solving conceptualization and facilitation problems with Miro. The visual element of this collaboration tool makes it very easy to work with others on brand new concepts or ideas, especially considering the Work From Home situation we have come to adapt to. Being able to visually depict abstract concepts, at times simultaneously collaborating with my colleagues, helps speed up the process and bring everyone onto the same page.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would advise those considering Miro to go ahead and sign-up for a basic (free) user account and get to experience the app/platform before signing up for a full account. Because of the vast amount of things you can do on the platform, it would be good to know your way around before you sign up.
Miro our Visual Collaboration hero
What do you like best about the product?
The most astonishing thing about Miro is that the team can work more seamlessly on creative things from project planning to execution through visualization. I also find its inbuilt communication feature quite helpful as we also regularly conduct meetings and real-time discussions using its real-time chatting and video conferencing feature.
What do you dislike about the product?
Because the new user onboarding part is quite limited compared to the breadth of features, new users may find themselves in an uncomfortable position while attempting to use the possibilities of this great productivity tool fully.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We consider Miro to be an essential member of our team, regardless of whether or not we are working from a remote location, since it is so helpful in fostering creative team communication. We are now able to interact more realistically and creatively, thanks to the Miro.
Doing great things together and remotely
What do you like best about the product?
Besides build around collaboration, Miro has excellent templates that help you get up to speed and jump into what matters.
I've done a couple of workshops, and I also think using Miro is better than using real post-its.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I miss more tools to illustrate, as other kind of software has.
For mindmaps, I'd love to have more tools like Mindomo has (to create more complex mindmaps and structure ideas)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm doing workshops. You can organize and categorize the information better and faster than with real post-its while addressing one of the most significant pain points at workshops: documentation.
I'm also creating UX artifacts, like user flows and journeys.
One of the biggest problems we're solving is having all the project documentation in the same place. Like having a big wall with everything: journeys, references, key research insights, etc

Miro is a great platform for teams, with great and very valuable templates that can help you get up to speed and focus on what matters
Handy tool for creatively portraying ideas and concepts
What do you like best about the product?
With Miro, you can literally draw your thoughts and share them with your entire team and stakeholders and even collaborate with them in real-time. It is also possible to chat and conduct team video calls within the app itself. So, Miro is mind-blowing, especially for bringing thoughts into visuals and working together with a team to plan and coordinate various projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Because I work in a creative department, I appreciate Miro's excellent visual collaboration capabilities. A daily task management system, in addition to visual real-time collaboration capabilities, would be a great value above what is presently not available on Miro.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Thanks to the Miro for becoming an incredible visualization and real-time collaboration tool. Now, I can efficently draw and communicate my ideas, concepts, and vision to my manager and team members, which helps me remain creative and productive at my work.
The best choice for visual collaboration, not everyday tasks or project management
What do you like best about the product?
I always feel amazing using Miro because it is not just a digital whiteboarding tool; instead, it is a fundamental tool for drawing and visualizing almost anything. Another essential part of this tool is that our entire team can work together like they are working in the physical workspace to ideate, plan and manage things in real-time.
What do you dislike about the product?
When it comes to managing daily tasks or an entire project, this program does not match other project management tools in terms of functionality. Furthermore, the formatting and layout options are virtually endless, making building a coherent canvas at times challenging.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The overall experience has been positive. While exploring and utilizing all of its features can be overwhelming at times, we have successfully used it to drive collaboration within our team with an online meeting tool to fluidly whiteboard, precisely as we would have done in a regular office environment.
Loving Learning Miro...
What do you like best about the product?
I've been using Miro for a few months now, and it's very quickly become my default application for brainstorming, capturing notes while studying, collaboratively drawing up architecture diagrams, online whiteboarding for video calls, and generally sharing plans and ideas.
I love the concept of an infinitely zoomable workspace, so you can see the 30,000-foot view of what you're doing or drill right down into as many details as you like.
Also, the freeform nature is wonderful - I'll often drop a quick Kanban board into the space I'm working on to help get my head around how I'm going to tackle my next challenge.

What do you dislike about the product?
I struggle with keeping my boards consistent in terms of font size and styling - Particularly as my boards grow over time; I find the scale of notes I made early in the process is very different to further down the track.
I need to get better at annotating screenshots within the tool - I have tried using Miro with a drawing tablet but haven't managed to quickly and neatly add handwritten notes.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Generally communication of ideas, and also capturing notes while studying - I'm taking several online courses at the moment, and I find it very helpful to grab screenshots, add my notes and comments there. Then I can come back the next day and quickly fly around the board to review my previous learnings.
Using Miro for Architectural views of software projects is a quick way to communicate and collaborate with others in the team.

Miro is an excellent online team collaboration tool!
What do you like best about the product?
The best feature of Miro is the interactive whiteboard. My software team uses this board to diagram ideas, mock UI, and discuss high-level topics. The whiteboard has many tools that let you edit your UI designs. There are also many templates to choose from if you don't want a blank whiteboard. Miro is also great at collaboration and sharing. Documents can be locked and shared with team members. Miro allows users to give either Read Only access or Edit/Read access. It does not require an app to run. All users need to have access to Miro is a web browser. The web browser Miro app works great, in my opinion. Exporting your final product is also available and gives a high-quality PDF.
What do you dislike about the product?
The panning and zooming on the whiteboard can sometimes be finicky. At first glance, the UI can be a bit overwhelming. It would be nice to have the ability to create your own templates. When multiple people are viewing the same board, I have noticed a small bit of lag. Slack integration would be very helpful instead of emailing new comments or updates to users. While the commenting feature works, it is not as easy as commenting on a Google Document. Miro also lacks in the process flow side as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Miro, I can solve the problem of engaging with my teammates during meetings. During meetings, we can all contribute to the board and see in real-time comments or suggestions. One benefit I have realized is remote brainstorming. I am able to edit a board and then have a teammate make edits that I can quickly see. Miro also helps our team see the big picture.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend using Miro if you have a small team and are looking for more engagement and creating various boards for various products.
Best design research tool I've used so far
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is pretty straightforward, and it is very easy to share boards with clients' teams without having them create accounts.
I have never experienced any slowdown, especially when drag-n-dropping large pictures on mood boards with 5+ people working simultaneously, which is one of the main reasons I moved to Miro.
Connecting objects with arrows is straightforward and accurate, making it very quick to create flow diagrams.

What do you dislike about the product?
I would appreciate the possibility of using additional fonts from Google Fonts or Adobe Fonts, to have perfectly branded boards for clients' workshops.
It'd also be great to have finer control on locking objects, to allow, for example, drag-and-drop of templates with some elements unlocked by default (e.g. user personas cards where only editable fields are locked)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm mostly organizing user research workshops (which went fully online after covid hit).
From a few weeks, I'm also experimenting with creating diagrams we would typically design using specialized software, benefiting from the easiness of sharing and collaboration that Miro offers.

If you need a reliable design collaboration tool, that makes sharing boards effortless, look no further than Miro (I already tested almost all other products around!)
Great collaboration and whiteboarding tool
What do you like best about the product?
Miro has been great for our teams to collaborate while being remote and distributed. There are various ways to whiteboard and brainstorm, and it's been the closest way for us to mimic what we used to do in person! I like the flowcharts to easily and quickly map out processes/flows and the mind map to jot down ideas.
What do you dislike about the product?
Minor - but it would be nice to have additional creative flexibility in the formatting of various boards
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are first and foremost solving virtual collaboration via Miro - having teams across many different time zones and locations has been a bit hectic and grown stale with just virtual conferencing. Adding Miro into our collaboration toolbox at work has been a helpful way for us to engage teammates creatively that we haven't been able to since we have become remote.
Miro is helping our team get its work done
What do you like best about the product?
Miro has been a helpful space where our product designers have been able to do a wide range of work. We use it as a space for exploring ideas individually, between peers, or as a whole group. It's also a useful self-documenting tool -- that is, no need to create a separate Confluence page to describe the outcomes of a meeting. For example, today I was onboarding a new team member, and it was easy to pop into a Miro workshop board from several months ago to discuss how our team had worked toward an OKR objective/result in the Q1 of 2021.
What do you dislike about the product?
I struggle selecting an item to edit it and then inadvertantly selecting another tool with a keyboard shortcut. That's because I can double click on an object and think that it's in an editable state, but it's not immediately clear that whether the object is or not. If it isn't, but I think it is, then as I start typing, keyboard shortcuts will change the tool to something unintended. I run into this issue repeatedly, even though I try to avoid it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro often to clarify thoughts that I have swirling around in my head. I use a mind map to get my ideas out of my head, and then begin to structure them. I've used that approach for project planning, or simply organizing my day.
