Excellent tool for digital collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Miro lets you collaborate with your coworkers in a very engaging manner. It enables you to create engaging and beautiful tables and charts. Further, it has a host of templates you can choose from. I use the user story map template very often. It is easy to use and can be used for a lot of different reasons.
What do you dislike about the product?
The desktop app could do with some improvements, sometimes copying and pasting items across boards hasn't worked as smoothly. Further, pricing seems a bit on the expensive side.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use miro for various reasons: 1) To plan software projects 2) To create roadmaps 3) To create user story maps 4) To create charts and visualize data. Further, I often need input from various people who are not always with me. With a remote team, planning becomes intuitive with Miro
Great for every step of systems development and maintenance - from ideation to documentation!
What do you like best about the product?
I used it (still do, but slightly less often now) for most of my engineering needs - from product or feature design to documentation-grade graphics.
- it provides an excellent balance between simplicity and feature-richness. In team brain-stormings, I can build out the complete logic/architecture of the new project/feature or a mind-map in a real-time collaborative setting
- I'm not a UI design guru, but can drop a few boxes together into a convenient visualisation in Miro before the product designers go and disappear for a week in Figma :)
- took me a while to change the mindset from academic powerpoint, but once I did, presenting boards in Miro live started being very intuitive and effective!

What do you dislike about the product?
Not much, some aspects of the formatting do not seem optimal to me (margins in text boxes, text size autoscaling, things like that) but otherwise nothing to complain about.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
See what I like best section. But to reiterate:
- service diagram drafts
- brainstorming mindmaps
- documentation-grade diagrams once fully worked out
- quick UI sketches
- all of that in collab
- I'm not a huge fan, but my colleagues love the integration with JIRA a lot!

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes we need to divide the participants into groups and provide each group a separate "room" — a dedicated area on a common board — where they could work with content separately from others. The only function I'm missing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In fact, every process within the product cycle — creating and maintaning roadmaps, product discovery techniques, documentation and concepts visualization, regular agile meetings and many more — has sparkled with new colors since we started using Miro. It's extremely efficient tool nowadays since we all had to switch to the new work culture where we combine in-house and remote work mode, syncronous and asyncronous communication, transparency and flexibility.
Endless flexibility!
What do you like best about the product?
With Miro, anything is possible. The possibilities are endless. There's a truckload of templates to use for different types of sessions, and it's really easy to set up your own board for your sessions if you don't find a template that fits. The simplicity of inviting people to the boards, and how easy the basics is to understand for participants makes this tool very rewarding to use. Visualization is a powerful concept and with Miro I get all possibilities I could ever imagine.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's still a bit too easy for a participant to move locked frames and structures.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaborative workshops.
Every designers must have tool
What do you like best about the product?
how easy it is to learn and use, most of the software I come across takes a lot of time to grab, but since miro provides easily accessible resources to learn it took me no time to get started, plus I really enjoy their templates.
What do you dislike about the product?
nothing actually, it has made my life easier as a designer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
currently, as a UX designer, I am using miro for mind mapping, it is really easy to collect all the ideas in one place, add links and comments, plus so easy to share them with anyone.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
the only tool you need to document your research, do mind mapping, user journeys, etc, will make your life easier as a designer.
Way beyond my expectations
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is Extremely flexible, intuitive, and cool to use. My initial goal was to facilitate brainstorming and Mind mapping processes, but during my initial experience, I was able to use it to manage meetings, to capture concepts, and even was my base to plan a trip with a level of detail I never expected.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have not used the multiple user licenses extensively, and such a process is not clear to me. It is not clear whether the participants in my group handle their separate, own dashboards, and I still need to learn how collaboration/privacy works to offer a better concept. Still, I am in a learning phase.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mind Mapping, Tracking Meetings, and I am starting to use it to conceptualize and execute projects. As I mentioned, it has already been beneficial to me to plan a personal trip!
The most flexible tool we have
What do you like best about the product?
There are endless ways to use Miro. Working at a digital design agency, we can use Miro for presentations, customer journey workshops, site maps, wire frames, moodboards.... the list goes on. I love that we can invite our clients to join us in an interactive session on Miro, and allow them to be active participants in a meeting, rather than just an audience.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can take some getting used to at first. Just like any tool, it can be awkward to handle until you've spent some time with it. It can also be a bit daunting with the sheer amount of things you can do with it, but much like anything in life - the more you use it, the better you get.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're becoming more creative in the way we present information internally and externally. We've realized that if there's something that needs to be visually represented to someone - Miro is the place to do it. The endless nature of the boards allows our teams the freedom to get creative without having to worry about overwriting someone else's work.
Miro - Mind Mapping Excellence and Much More
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is a super well thought out mind mapping tool and much more. It's the best tool for all of us visual thinkers to get our ideas out of our heads. Not only can you create mind maps but there are so many ways to use Miro including tools for managing projects and it works really well with teams. Also, Miro comes with a large selection of premade template to get you started.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a learning curve to using Miro because of the plethora of tools but once you locate everything and understand how it works, this tool has everything you need and there's nothing really to complain about. It just works well right out of the box even for free accounts. The free account has very little limitations where you can't have private boards but that should be ok for people working in teams anyway.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro has allowed me to plan out full website redesigns, create visual presentations that show the links between different ideas and structures. Instead of writing paragraphs upon paragraphs trying to explain an idea, Miro makes it super easy and efficient to display your ideas using graphic elements and you can add sticky notes to any element when needed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start with a free plan to make sure you understand and get passed the learning curve before you begin paying for it.
The easiest and most powerful white boarding tool out there!
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of 3rd party integrations will helps in turnining it up to 11! The native app responsiveness is excellent. The sheer number of templates available makes it easy to find a good starting point.
What do you dislike about the product?
The iPad app is not very good. Its sluggish and it seems it was made for a desktop OS (or just a port of the desktop app) and not for touch first UIs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working with product teams to map out features in story maps. The biggest benefit is that we are able to visualize our user journey, this allows us to identify scenarios we might have missed if we were not story mapping.
Best all-around work tool!
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using Miro for over a year since we moved to a work-from-home setup. I absolutely love using and find it essential for all types of work that I do. As a student leader who is also taking internships on the side, Miro has become my go-to work tool for both school and work, especially since I am pursuing Research. Not only does it help me organize my data and thoughts better, but I am also able to utilize it for quick and easy collaboration with my peers and co-workers. Work has never been easier with Miro.
What do you dislike about the product?
With how I utilize Miro, I don't see any downsides to it. I am able to work with other people on one board, and export boards later on. At the moment, Miro has everything that I would need for it to do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a UX Designer and Researcher, I mostly use Miro for collating and analyzing data that I gather. In the same way that I would use a physical whiteboard and sticky notes in person, Miro makes this more convenient and accessible from anywhere. Being able to archive my boards also prove to be very useful as I could always just come back to them in the future without starting from scratch.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It has a small learning curve when you first get started, but once you get the hang of it, the possibilities of Miro are limitless.
