Miro aids online workshop facilitation and collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
During lockdown, the Miro board helps replace the usual workshops with ability to capture input from virtual attendees, ensuring all stakeholder perspectives are captured. Importantly, the ability to print the boards and extract comments as text means there is no transcription of workshop attendee input.
What do you dislike about the product?
Functionality around who can control, move items on a board. Also enhanced features around temporary closure of a board (say with a timer) while workshop participants are presenting. Sometimes attendees are distracted by the board and need to focus on presentations before capturing the next round of thoughts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro has been great for capturing reviews of project designs, plans, reports in an online workshop setting. Paired with functionality like participant surveys through TEAMS, it is a very powerful collaboraiton tool.
You can plan, idea, map and collaborate with Miro
What do you like best about the product?
Miro delivers seamless collaboration functionalities, which has been beneficial in allowing our remote team to conduct back and forth sessions with minimal effort. It can become a knowledge base for the product, design, and marketing teams to generate ideas and plan.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost per extra user for the team collaboration is higher than the subscription because it is an additional charge and the subscription fee. In this case, Miro should introduce an affordable pricing plan for startups would be highly beneficial.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Previously we had a hard time creating visuals on Google docs or charts, and we tried various tools that were quite limited in terms of collaboration and other handy features. But now, after getting started with Miro, we feel good as we can collaborate in real-time and create varieties of concepts and designs in less time.
Draw and share what you imagine with Miro
What do you like best about the product?
Among all of its features, the mind map creation feature is the most appealing and valuable as it quickly lets me create entire maps for any idea or plan. Other than this, the maps are seamlessly sharable with other users, leading to better collaboration and productivity. Also, it has a feature to create multiple designs and ideas into a visually appealing format that is downloadable into various file formats.
What do you dislike about the product?
As this software has a breadth of features and functionalities, it can be tough to navigate for first-time users, so I think it needs to enhance its user experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All in all, Miro is a remarkable tool for visual illustrations of ideas and concepts. It saves time and energy on finalizing any concepts or ideas as it allows seamless sharing and collaboration among team members working from anywhere remotely. Though its optimum navigation feels pretty complex and confusing, I hope it will make the overall user experience smooth in the coming days.
A great tool for both Retrospectives and Collaboration with colleagues
What do you like best about the product?
I was tasked with finding a good tool to use for cross-functional team retrospectives for our Organization. My colleagues recommended Miro to me, as they had already been using the freeware version of the tool, and were finding it easy and enjoyable to use.
I like that it can be used not only for our Retrospectives initiatives, but also for collaborative whiteboarding and brainstorming. My colleagues have been able to find many uses for Miro boards since we purchased our team licenses.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some of our developers have commented that they do not enjoy the whiteboard/notes for retrospectives, as they find it can be cluttered and/or confusing. They prefer to use other tools for their own team retrospectives.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are rolling out an initiative to use Miro boards for our internal issue Retrospectives, both small scale and large scale. The benefit so far has been improved collaboration amongst cross-functional teams participating in the retrospectives.
Now, we can finally plot our thoughts into visual maps
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate how conveniently we can quickly brainstorm on my ideas and create visually appealing mind maps that can be either downloaded or shared with anyone online through a shareable link. Other than this, it is also quite valuable for drafting a Business model canvas, SWOT analysis, Project management, and implementation timeline by merely selecting from its pre-designed templates.
What do you dislike about the product?
Even though Miro is a feature-rich program, the optimum usability of the software is a little complicated, and the user might get into several confusions and even get lost from time to time while trying to use it correctly. Additionally, the mobile version of this application is almost useless as it requires a big screen size for designing and creating things efficiently.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The overall experience has been excellent with Miro as they even have a startup support program through which we could receive the credits of two thousand dollars. We can quickly draft our business model canvas, SWOT analysis, project timeline and create various mind maps that are easily shareable with anyone through a link.
Useful tool for team collaboration trough shared whiteboards
What do you like best about the product?
We are able to share screenshots of our work to provide a visual perspective of the team's achievements. With miro, our animation team can provide helpful information of our process to team leaders, and track every step of the process. In my particular case, we make downloadable "smart templates" of motion graphics videos. Our process includes conceptualization, scripting, animation, and UX design. Therefore, Miro helps us prove that we follow the guidelines during our daily taks and show our managers we are feeding the cocorrect information to the servers that host the template platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
We use texts a lot. Usually, our team leads write something and we have to modify this text or add more information. The problem is that TEXTS are sometimes hard to modify onece they were written. Let me give you an example. If my leader Writes "HELLO", the text box will remain that size. If I try to expand the textbox, it will increase or shrink the size of the text but not the space to write. So, if I want to add more words right next to the "HELLO" (whose circular handles are just in the perimeter of the text), the new words will apear under the original text because the textbox already has a horizontal constraint. Do I explain my self? In n other words, its hard to keep writing on the same line because it automatically creates another line. So, I have to create another text with bigger constraints. Heres a video I made thats shows the problem: https://recordit.co/hstfzHYbXf
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our team leaders can see our entire process through our screenshots, instead of manually opening and exploring every photoshop project, after effects file, code scripts, website admin changes and checklist reviews. Also, we can provide the screenshots that prove we backed up all the files into the server after we finish our tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are not familiar with design software like Illustrator and Photoshop, you may want to see and read all the tutorials before starting so you can save time with shortcuts and tools. If you already have experience with Illustrator and Photoshop, you will be fine. It's very intuitive for Adobe users.
Powerful, easy to use whiteboarding app
What do you like best about the product?
My team and I love the real time collaboration. Even though we are all of ther world, we all get together on Miro to work out ideas; it's pretty great considering the pandemic. We also and the integrations. Being able to use Miro within our comms apps is incredibly helpful. We can add Miro to our Webex space and keep it open to add or refine ideas when inspiration sparks. The plug-in integrations are great, too. Icon packs and templates really make projects move quick.
What do you dislike about the product?
Miro cannot be used offline; I'd love to be able to work during my flight or with a sketchy internet connection. The only other things are maybe feature overload. Miro may have features that could help my team but I wouldn't know since I don't really have time to explore the app or watch videos. I've heard of things like tagging, voting, user notifications, and even directory search, but I've never seen official Miro comms about them or seen them in the app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My team uses Miro to diagram processes such as user journeys. Once we all get working, we can quickly identify silos and open them, risks and vulnerabilities, and redundancies.
At them moment, we are using Miro to diagram all of our user journeys through the digital lifecycle.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the Miro integrations to make online meetings better and more engaging; even simple fun sketch events can make difficult sessions more fun and productive.
Robust, Essential, and High Functioning platform, especially for visual people
What do you like best about the product?
I like how the options are easy to navigate. Every template has an explanation of what and why you would use it, so new users won't be overwhelmed. I love the features and functions; they are extremely versatile and flexible. I'm a visual learner so it's ideal for someone like me. It keeps me organized. I don't have an agenda at work, I use Miro for that. Excellent for team planning and organizing. I really like how they teach you how to use the platform through their university. It doesn't cost an arm and a leg, which is always a plus. It saves everything automatically, I NEVER have to worry about losing data. Great for brainstorming all the way to the execution stage.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not the easiest for non-technical people, if people aren't used to such a platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm solving organizational and admin issues, team efficiency, and my mental health; if I'm not organized it drives me crazy and stresses me out. If realized I needed Miro years ago.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's free to make an account. Try it out and see if it fits your line of work, it's definitely going to meet your expectations regardless.
Incredible collaborative tool for the first steps of design process
What do you like best about the product?
The way I can create a lot of boars and put things integrated, links, etc. And work in a collaborative way.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like so much the tool for prototyping, it is too limited and has some problems
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use miro to see everything that I gather from each new feature I'm building in the same place, as I could do in a wall, but better because I can put links, videos and quickly revisit everything about that. But the thing that I most love about it is to manage those boards together with other designers, PMs, engineering and use it also for presenting what I found, the open questions and my ideas.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is like an intelligent wall on your remote work. It can really help you in your work. Use it to visually see everything you know about a product, competitors, features, ideas, questions. It's easier to work when you see everything that was in your mind, in a board.
A very flexible and collaborative tool
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility to design clear visual items, add post-its, and so on. And it is fun (easy to add images, colors,...)!
It is very easy to use, to navigate in the virtual workspace, by swiping and by zooming in and out.
There are a few useful feature like a timer, a feature to bring everyone's screen to the same location of the virtual workspace (very useful when you get lost).
It is also possible to define the landing page for collaborators to automatically arrive where you want in the board (e.g. an "introduction" space).

What do you dislike about the product?
It is an additional tool that comes on top of other tools like OneNote, Teams' whiteboard,... but its features are worth it.
I regularly accidentally moving an object without meaning to, sometimes without noticing what I did.
The downside of the number of features is that it can feel a it overwhelming. It takes a little bit of learning time to know where the useful features are.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows collaborating in real-time on a same visual a little like we would at an in-person meeting.
For example, as participants you can put up your photos with a bit of presentation. This point is even better than in-person meetings where it can be challenging to remember everyone's name and their info, whereas on Miro, you can go back there and look at the photos/names/presentations.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking for a tool to help compensate the distance between collaborators, especially in this time of WFH and lockdowns, Miro could be the tool to help create proximity for real-time collaborative work.
