Amazing collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
MIro's templates, both user-created and built-in, are great! Visually organizing ideas and work information is far better for my brain than simply writing it down. I also enjoy sharing boards with others. It's fun to see others collaborating in real-time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Miro has a bit of a learning curve that makes it difficult to get other non-Miro users on board quickly. Despite the many ice-breaker activities and exercises, it can still take a fair amount of time to get new users comfortable with the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro to organize and ideate workshops for my business as well as share ideas. It has been fantastic for sharing information with my friends and business partners.
Quite useful but faced difficulties get started
What do you like best about the product?
I found two most potent and valuable features of Miro, and they are:
1. Our team can create various boards and work on them together, virtually and in the most productive way possible.
2. We can also conduct live chat or video sessions and discuss any projects we work on together, making us aligned and intact.

What do you dislike about the product?
As per my experience, getting started with Miro can be pretty challenging and even confusing in some cases due to its overwhelming features and functionalities. Rather than adding so many features all at once, I think they should refine each of them to better user experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All-in-all, Miro has been a wonderful experience for me. It has become my one-stop tool for brainstorming, documenting ideas, and collaborating more visually. It gives the impression that our entire team is working together in an actual workspace because we can conduct live text, audio, and video sessions simultaneously.
Ideate, plan, collaborate and communicate in real-time
What do you like best about the product?
I greatly admire the wide variety of features Miro offers. From creating a business model canvas to mind maps, everything is possible with Miro digital board as it also has a category-wise library of pre-built templates. Apart from that, our team can work together from anywhere and on any device, as it is cross-platform compatible.
What do you dislike about the product?
Through Miro also has the diagramming and sketching feature, it is pretty limited and is not like other more advanced and flexible tools such as Adobe Illustrator and Freehand.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To summarize, I have a better experience with Miro. It is not merely a digital board; rather than it's an entire workspace for a team working on visuals, plannings, brainstorming, and idea validation. I've realized the huge advantage it is for our whole team to communicate in real-time while collaborating virtually through this software.
Miro is Visio on steroids
What do you like best about the product?
The upsides of using Miro are collaborating live on the virtual whiteboard to create a chart or diagram. I've used other programs, and real-time synchronous collaboration is not as they say it is. I like the fact that there are many templates of diagrams to choose from and a good set of training videos to help you along the way.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UX is rather cluttered. For someone who has expert use in other collaborative software, initially, there is lots to figure out i.e., how to share the whiteboard, how to get help, what all the buttons and functions do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are creating storyboards for online learning collaboratively. Also, the opportunity to share ideas virtually with a geographically disparate team is useful synchrounously.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro has myriad ways of drawing charts and diagrams, and with that, you can collaborate with peers, so all the better.
Great tool for teams, consultants & enterprises
What do you like best about the product?
I've been using MIro for almost 4 years, first with a consultant profile. I was impressed by the ease of access for the external collaborators I invited to use Miro and the close to the non-existing on-boarding time needed.
The tool is equally suitable for wireframing, diagramming, brainstorming, and product discovery. My customers loved it.
2 years ago, the company I work for purchased Enterprise licenses after a comparison with Mural, LucidSpark and FigJam. The flexible licensing model of Miro is really good, and allows us to grow the usage on a pace that fits our budget and needs. After 2 years of usage, we are still happy about this product and especially happy about the constant user-centric development that always keeps the product fit for our needs.

What do you dislike about the product?
Miro offers everything that could be considered a must for virtual collaboration. Nevertheless, there are several areas of improvement that Miro team could work on to make their product even greater:
1. Jira Cards integration is done on a team level, not on Enterprise subscription level. We have 15+ teams in our enterprise subscription, meaning we need to do the integration 15 times.
2. Some competitors are more focused on Agile flow support & Jira integrations and offer Dynamic backlog management tools (LucidSpark and Stormboard), so it will be great if Miro focuses on this in the near future.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Miro in several directions:
1. Goal Setting (Objectives and Key Results), their set-up and tracking in a collaborative model;
2. Quarterly planning events and workshops;
3. Product discovery sessions.
4. Roadmap planning & Roadmap updates.
The main benefits we get from Miro are ease of communication, visualization of progress, transparency, and enhanced collaboration between teams.
The integration with Jira helps us automate part of the flow of planning, removing the need to transfer information from a whiteboard to the planning tool!

White boarding tool that you can access from anywhere
What do you like best about the product?
The significant upside of Miro is the ability to quickly onboard multiple team members and collaborate into its carefully designed digital whiteboard either from scratch or by simply selecting from hundreds of pre-built templates. Another benefit is that it has an inbuilt real-time video communication feature that aids in better team productivity. Additionally, it supports cross-platform, which means it is accessible from almost all internet devices and operating systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
The primary issue that I faced while using Miro is that I cannot seamlessly download the designs, diagrams, and visuals into printable pdf format; instead, I need to capture a frame and partially download it all the time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
While working from home, Miro has found to be an excellent visual-based team collaboration tool that keeps everyone on the same page, increases team efficiency, and produces better work outputs. This tool has been a fantastic way to create a proof of concept of any ideas or solutions.
We feel like we are working in person
What do you like best about the product?
We are using Miro throughout our company, from brainstorming to project planning. It serves as a repository for all of our ideals, studies, and insights. The most significant upside is that it allows us to collaborate more creatively within a team and also enables us more easily access the work of proximity teams.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the downsides of Miro include its navigation part, which is not relatively straightforward and can be much more confusing for the new users; also, the screen needs to be zoomed in frequently to read specific texts and diagrams. Furthermore, it is pretty challenging to keep track of all the different boards we have.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All in all, Miro has become a virtual whiteboard that lets our entire team jump into and collaborate, brainstorm, and work on ideas, concepts, and plans. We feel like we are working physically in person due to its remarkable real-time collaboration and communication facility.
Collaborate seamlessly even during the pandemic
What do you like best about the product?
The most delicate thing about Miro is that it allows your entire team members to collaborate effectively from anywhere. Furthermore, I enjoy the freedom and real-time user experience it provides, making it feel like we were doing this on a round table. It also ensures that the accomplishment is visible continuously and available to all the collaborators, regardless of location.
What do you dislike about the product?
Miro primarily focuses on better collaboration among the virtual team, so it has an inbuilt video chatting feature. However, it is quite limited in terms of the breadth of functionalities it provides, such as it does not have any option to record the session for later as a reference.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro enables us to schedule, coordinate, decide things, share ideas, strategize, and do a lot more with ease. We finally have a planning tool that our entire team can use together while working remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic.
A digital whiteboard where your entire team can work together
What do you like best about the product?
For me, Miro addresses my needs widely. Being an internet collaboration application, it is helpful for various virtual teamwork such as data analysis, conceptualization, creating customer journeys and user story maps, mind maps, user research, and a variety of other visually understandable projects. Also, it is possible to chat and share comments with collaborators in real-time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Collaborators who have never used Miro before may require some assistance navigating their way around the platform. Because Miro has many features, it does need some learning time to become familiar with them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro has become an excellent way for me to plan things, share them with team members, refine them and finalize them all online during this ongoing Pandemic situation, which is a huge benefit that I have realized from using it. It has also become an excellent way for me to collaborate with others without meeting in person, which is another huge benefit that I have realized from using Miro.
Fantastic tool for sharing design maps/trees with customers and team members
What do you like best about the product?
The consultant plan is my favorite for working with my enterprise customers, and the number of tools at my fingertips is just right. The tools are not too detailed or robust where they're less efficient and you're spending too much time learning how to use them, but there are enough options to clearly (and decently graphically nice) share product visions/designs/maps/etc. I highly recommend Miro for anyone working in professional services, consulting, or freelance roles with business customers (especially the enterprise segment where everything has to be well-planned).
What do you dislike about the product?
I use mind mapping a lot for chat flow design, and there are times where I would like to add a new node on the same path *between* two existing nodes. This is not currently possible, which means I have to reconstruct a flow to make this happen. Graphically, I would like the option to individually change the colors of nodes within a mindmap.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro for quickly and effectively communicating complex chat flows (as an AI Conversation Designer) with enterprise customers. This has significantly reduced friction in the building process (as I was previously relying on spreadsheets or manually mapped slides) and has also lead to a significant reduction in design oversights (i.e. duplicative nodes).
