A Perfect Tool For Anyone That Needs to Give Presentations or Collaborate
What do you like best about the product?
I love how visual Miro is, as well as the fact that it's cloud-based. Before using Miro, all of my presentations were built in Adobe Illustrator, and it was really difficult to share such large files, and collaborate with my team members, when most didn't have the software, in addition to only being able to work in the file one at a time. The collaboration tools like comments, sticky notes, and following another person in the board make it so easy to make decisions, have discussions, and collaborate meaningfully, as well as reduce the need for meetings.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are very few downsides that I have found. I would like better connectivity to Excel, which I know is a wish list item for many people. Copying and pasting from excel is difficult, as the data is just input into multiple sticky notes. I also wish there were more frame size options. I use tabloid size for many of my presentations (11x17") and would love to have that as an option. I would also love to see more templates for creatives. So many of the templates are awesome, but seem like they're catered mostly to UX people. Having more artful presentation templates would be awesome.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
-Reducing the need for meetings to make small decisions by using the comment and tagging feature
-Increased visibility to what my teammates are working on in their categories, so there are greater opportunities to collaborate and tie back to one another
-Easier to receive and action feedback using the comment function
-More productive milestone meetings by going hybrid, with Miro and in person

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are a visual person and have many team members who work remotely, I would highly recommend using Miro.
Great for account planning
What do you like best about the product?
Miro allows me to create linkages betwen different aspects of an account or a campaign - connecting people, marketing assets, problem statements, use cases, articles I come across, etc. Much more powerful and flexible than any CRM (or Excel).
What do you dislike about the product?
A somewhat steep learning curve. Since "account planning" isn't a use case envisioned by the vendor, there isn't much enablement around it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Instead of spending hours putting together an account plan that no one will ever read/use, Miro is always open on my screen! I can create and update account plans and see - at a glance - what are the critical relationships between contacts, problems, and marketing assets.
Great for collaboration or anything at all
What do you like best about the product?
I like how I can collaborate with all my stakeholders. As a Product Manager, this is essential. Aside from my PM role, I used it when I interviewed at my current company instead of using powerpoint or google slides. I used Miro due to the flexibility. I use it for nearly everything! LOVE miro.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the settings are disabled when one is not the board owner. For example, I wasn't able to duplicate a board unless I had edit access. It can also be hard to remember where certain features are, such as how to create a template from a board. Also, the icons can be confusing since they dont have a text description underneath. I wish the icons had text underneath.
Also! It recently changed my mouse settings and in order to drag around the board, I have to use the right click on my mouse, which I dont like having to do. i haven't spent the time to figure out how to change this.

Excellent Platform for Collaboration in Creative Brainstorming & Designing Concepts
What do you like best about the product?
The Collaboration for my entire design team. For our clients in presenting with a partnership for open conversation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Like Everything so far! Would luke to have better capabilities in High Resolution Exporting for presentation PDF downloads.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are working on Retail Experiences. Creating Authentic Stories that enhance the guest interaction and increase Brand Anwareness.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Highly recommend for any Design Professional and Design Team. Especially in this state for Remote workers and clients.
From abstract to tangible
What do you like best about the product?
The overall user experience is impressive. The tools, how it works, and the layout make it easy for anyone to use and create meaningful outcomes.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would improve the background noise supression in the video chat for a better experience when doing team meetings or workshops
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The infinite canvas is one of my favorite things about miro; it makes me feel like there is no limit to my imagination or the things I create. It is the one place where I collect data, analize, define, create, design, present, you name it! Having everything in the same place allows me to go back and forth without missing the perspective of the proyect.
Miro - a great tool for giving form to ideas
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is a great tool to EASILY give form to ideas. I was a little skeptical before I jumped in but a believer after using it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the navigation and organization withing Miro can be a little disorienting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro allows me to easily design and present ideas, flow, and logic to groups of people.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking for an easy to use solution to diagram and bring ideas to form, use Miro.
As close to being in a room with a whiteboard as you can get remotely
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is easy to use, share and collaborate. With remote work being a new normal, this is as close to being locked in a room with a whiteboard as you can get! Other competitors, such as Figma and Mural, are good, but Miro, to me, is more user-friendly and more robust when it comes to what you can do within the platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
I love using this with my software development teams, and the Jira integration is helpful, but it isn't as robust as I would like (syncing comments, etc.). Also, having some more pre-built shapes would help create more robust designs within Miro and minimize the need to use other tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Remote collaboration is challenging, especially with each person wanting to engage differently. With Miro, we can collaborate before a call, while we are on a call, or without a call entirely. You can have remote brainstorming sessions and workshops with ease. Miro being a virtual whiteboard also means that team members can go off to the side, work something out, and then bring it the group.
Collaboration Creator!
What do you like best about the product?
Ample ways to collaborate with teammates in clever, unique ways. I love that you can see all the users in a board and what they're each contributing to it. It makes the collaboration process so seamless! My favorite part of it is the use of sticky notes and other creative items to organize different categories of thoughts when brainstorming a new strategy or project, or different processes and requirements for a project.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's great for what we use it for, which is mainly brainstorming. I'd love to see some kind of way to turn that brainstorming into project plans, maybe through an integration. Sometimes it can feel a bit overwhelming if too many people are in the board at once or even at different times, so I wish it was a bit easier to track who is who and what each person is doing, as well as what the changes they are making are. Similar to Google docs or Google sheets and the opportunity to track changes there so we can see who did what and when. I do like, however, that you can show or hide user cursors so at least that part doesn't seem too busy if too many people are using a single board at one time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're solving the problem of cross-functional collaboration and creative brainstorming. Whenever we have a large new project or are planning for a new quarter, Miro is our favorite tool to get some "hands-on" work in! We like to organize group brainstorm sessions and use the sticky note feature to add our ideas under various categories. Doing this in a group setting makes it easy to virtually collaborate and give people time to think about their ideas before having to share them. We've also used Miro to categorize responses to surveys and organize them into similar clusters, which helps us then create content around those clusters that we otherwise wouldn't have been able to see without it. For example, we recently used it beyond our quarterly planning needs to help identify the most talked about responses in an open-question survey so that we could analyze the qualitative data in a more visual way, rather than trying to organize it all in a Google sheet. This makes Mireo not only a wonderful tool for teams using it to brainstorm and collaborate cross-functionally, but also a great tool for content creators who are looking to organize their thoughts in a more cohesive way.
It's also just great for team bonding events and creative ways to see different things about other team members that you wouldn't know otherwise. We recently used it as a team bonding activity during our quarterly "hang out" to identify fun facts about our fellow colleagues. Thus, Miro has many use cases and would be appreciated by product, marketing, engineering, and other teams across an organization.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend others to use Miro because it's useful across organizations and teams for both planning and collaboration purposes. The app is great for many use cases: specifically, you can use it for quarterly planning sessions to get everyone aligned on your team's plans for the quarter. You can also use it for content organization if you work in a content role that requires ideation or organization of various format and content thoughts. Finally, you can use it for team bonding events in clever and creative ways.
Awesome collaboration capabilities and the perfect diagraming tool
What do you like best about the product?
The easy UX that is under the hood of the product. The integrations that it has and collaboration options like the timers and group chat
What do you dislike about the product?
The integration with Jira should be more extensive. Feedback between the two products and better visualization from Jira
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Business and technical diagraming. Presentation of products and DEMOs. Project workflow presentations
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Perfect fit for a connected and collaborative whiteboard. Better in the paid versions.
We're teaching this platform in our leadership courses as the digital means for collaboration.
What do you like best about the product?
Concurrent interactivity among users. The share feature is VERY helpful. I like the flexible, agile platform for capturing and curating relevant content.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve necessary to master the platform is the biggest hurdle. Perhaps the board tools can be progressively unlocked or enabled as users complete skill-group training modules. The Badge program will be a GREAT pathway for our students. We will not invest in all the learning procedures as in previous classes. We will now direct them to complete the first badge and submit the receipt and image. Can you capture frames in presentation mode as a video? Capturing a presentation directly to videl might be a helpful integration as well. Also, I think users need to adjust the gridline resolution. That way, spacing frames based on gridlines is more apparent and user-friendly. Perhaps there can be a "snap to" feature that auto-sizes frames to gridlines.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We teach how to capture ideation for event planning, strategic planning, and process documentation. These are the primary applications we teach.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is the best, most agile, and most flexible collaboration platform in the industry.
