Miro Board for Fashion and Product Design Processes Visualization and Mind Mapping
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is one of the best remote collaboration Apps that I was able to work with as a Teaching Assistant for university-level Design Courses. Miro's User Interface is particularly useful when working in groups on brainstorming and visual storming activities, when collaborating on image researches and moodboards, or for remote workshops. The interactive tools and elements allow collaborators to work together on the same worksheet and to connect.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing to be reminded to students when using Miro for group activities is that they have to access the boards through their University account, in order to have unlimited editing access to the shared contents.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro allows students, and users more in general, to work creatively in remote mode by providing user-friendly tools for brainstorming, mind-mapping, visual storming, moodboarding activities.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend adopting Miro for distance collaborations activities such as Mind Mapping, Moodboarding, Brainstorming and Visual Storming and or other remote group activities and workshops.
Miro is the best tool for the job!
What do you like best about the product?
I absolutely love the integrations with other apps for Miro, but the best thing about Miro is how easy it is to pick up for all kinds of users. You don't have to be a pro to create and edit, but there's plenty of opportunities to create messy, neat, organised, disorganised chaos, whatever floats your boat! This app/web app is so versatile, I'm obsessed!
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the integrations can be clunky, but this feels more like a problem with the supporting parties rather than Miro. Microsoft Teams for example was a long-winded setup that didn't really make much sense, but Miro's guides were on hand to assist!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
User research analysis is at the forefront of my work, but even hashing out team and squad organisation and planning helps by using Miro. I love the ability to share this work so seamlessly!
The BEST flowchart / workflow diagram design app: great looking, easy to use and collaborate
What do you like best about the product?
- Intuitive and easy to use: both for experienced or beginners users creating diagrams (mind maps, flowchats, workflows, funnels, and so on) it's incredibly easy to use. The overall user experience it's amazing. You can easily move around combining your keyboard and mouse for zooming in, pan, duplicate and connecting items or groups.
- Contextual menus gives you additional control for styling, creating links or arrangening items with layers control.
- Fast: never lags, no matter how big your diagram and how many items it has, always workf very fluidly.
- Looks great: suggested color palette and shapes looks consistent and you don't need to work too much on styling the items. As a Design Manager, this is a plus, since many other diagrams apps I have used in the past looks a little bit outdated.
- Shareable and easy to comment and collaborate: for me, one of its beast features. As a previous user of offline apps (like xMind Classic, which I used for many years) Miro allows you to easily share and collaborate in real time. Clients and team members can add comments, that can be used as tasks, or just to mention anyone in the team.
- Frames: excellent option for showing or hiding certain parts or segments of your diagram, very useful for presentations.
- Not just for diagrams: and finally, Miro's great not just for diagrams; you can also use it as a wireframing tool. Includes a library of UI items that the wireframing process, both for Web and Apps design.
I've been using Miro for about 6 month's now, and I know it has so many other features I'm not even aware. More than a mind map app, it's a full ecosystem to support your planning, thinking and design process. Very happy so far :)

What do you dislike about the product?
Not that I "dislike" but things that could improve the experience:
- It would be great if it could include some sort of auto-alignment option. You can align your items manually, but when I have too many items, I could use some feature that could arrange all of them using some sort of rule for separation, vertical and horizontal alignment.
- Wireframing library UI items could be a little bit more extensive and include more components.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Mind map diagrams creation: flow chart, sales funnels, launch phases diagrams.
- Structure ideas and team collaboration
- Wireframe creation, mostly for web design

The experience is very clear, objective and has many organization possibilities.
What do you like best about the product?
What I most like is the sticky notes, because it helps me to remember and organize my ideas. In addition, it helps with team planning and insights. I also enjoy to use the agile workflows, because it helps our volunteering projects to be clear and full of collaborative ideas.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I don't like is that sometimes when you drag the board to go to another part out of your sight, it just messes everything up. I think it's the only experience that wasn't clear to me at first. Now, I understand that I need to go to settings and enable the navigation mode to do it properly. I think it could be better, so I don't need to check it all the time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problems with organizing the team in specific projects or on our daily work. What we should improve, continue and stop to evolve our work. Miro has a significant impact on our work cycles, volunteering projects and on ourselves as professionals.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Always check settings first to enable what you want in the experience. On the other hand, the platform is already quite intuitive and full of possibilities to help youand your team to be organized.
Very versatile and useful collaboration tool for planning, brainstorming, training...
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is an incredibly versatile tool that I've been using in a professional setting for a bit less than a year now, and it has been extremely helpful for several of our internal workstreams and projects. Whether we are planning a brainstorming meeting to conceptualize a new project, we want to keep other team members updated on our current activities, or are implementing virtual trainings for stakeholders in a different continent; Miro has done wonders to helps us visualize, clarify, conceptualize and present ideas and thoughts. I'm pretty confident that I will continue to use Miro in the future, both in a professional and on a personal capacity!
What do you dislike about the product?
You definitely need a mouse to use Miro, and unless you are working with a larger-than-laptop monitor, the tutorials and helpful messages will make it hard to view the board. Also, when using the sticky notes, I frequently misclick the option to create an arrow when I only want to change the sticky size!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Planning projects, letting my colleagues what I'm doing, capturing the thoughts and discussion of a group, teaching
Miro is miles ahead, it's faster than my brain, unlike Lucid or Mural that just slow me down!
What do you like best about the product?
It works at lighting speed, so intuitive
What do you dislike about the product?
Struggling to import big PDFs from lucid
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are running full service design, discovery, remote workshops, problem framing, service blueprints, design thinking workshops, collaborative workshops, retros, roadmaps, low-fi collaborative team wireframes, user testing analysis. It just works, it's smooth, sleek, mega fast, we can onboard easily and scale without being punished or blocked. It's secure, and after 1.5 years using Mural, and 4 months struggling with Lucid chart/spark, it's honestly lightyears ahead. I can load multiple files, massive complex files that in competitors, I would have my memory eaten up, crashing computer, ice-age speed loading. There's a reason almost everyone out there uses Miro, it works how it should do and support don't tell you that your breaking it because it was never intended for heavy use, Miro asks for more! It's taken a lot of convincing to switch, but so enlightening to see something so responsive, something that fits like a glove to everything you do and everything you possibly could do!

What do you dislike about the product?
day passes, the reason being is sometimes our teams are sharing boards that are to viewed only but when one of our members click on it we are then charged for them since they do not have a full licence and only need to view boards not edit.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've used it to solve alignment across the business, for example making flowcharts for a particular issue and having the team adhere to it so we are all reading from the same book and all customers receive the same level of service

Making Remote Workshops a Possibility
What do you like best about the product?
I find Miro exceptionally easy to use, and there are so many use cases. Initially, I started using Miro purely as a whiteboard tool (the Skype and Teams option was rubbish), and this provided a great user experience to both colleagues and clients. I then found more and more use cases for Miro, such as mind mapping and wireframing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing springs to mind as Miro does everything that I need. Or at least expect from the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest challenge was "How do we run remote workshops with our clients?". We use Microsoft Teams, and when we investigated the whiteboard for Teams (Skype), it was really sub-standard. We've now made Miro the standard for facilitating remote workshops. Colleagues and clients love it!
Very convenient and intuitive way to work with remote teams
What do you like best about the product?
I like simplicity and keeping advanced (often unnecessary) features out of the sight, so UX is really good. I have used Miro for team workshops for quite many years and users who are new to Miro, grasp it very quickly so we don't waste time to learn how to use the tool. Also, the pricing level is reasonable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Permissions management is far too complicated. Some features should be a bit improved, like the voting - after voting you can see the votes for a fixed period of time and after closing voting results, they disappear. I would like to keep them visible on the stickies as long as needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it for any visualization, for working together with remote teams, including retrospective meetings, for teaching students etc. Sharing a board with the guests who are not forced to log in is an extremely valuable feature. Quite often I find something useful from Miroverse which contains a comprehensive amount of templates and it grows together with a community.
the most powerfull tool for remote working and the project management
What do you like best about the product?
It's a fantastic software with a multitude of functionalities, from video conférences to code implementation. The possibilities are unlimited for the people who can understand Miro.
I have been using it since 2019 as a free user; now that I am launching my Start-up, it's time to change my license for the small team.
As an Agil or Scrum master, I have been identifying the miro potential immediately, just with the multiuser board and the introductory notes, schemas. Flexibility is the important word, and in those uncertain times that we are all facing right now, there is nothing alike on the market.
I am very thankful to the miro team for the possibility of holding an unrestricted license without any time limit, and it's a pleasure to write this review.

What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't any wrong side in Miro, but it's asking a lot of skills to handle it perfectly. It needs time and practice to be an expert, that's all.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
First of all, it's helping me to build all kinds of projects and to get a clear overview of the working advancement after I can see very quickly who is actively working by commenting and adding ideas.
I am also winning a lot of time with all the pre-build items, and it's effortless to personalize them to my use. The visualization of Internet links is such a great asset, and they are plenty of other aspects that I am still discovering. The last thing that I would like to tell about Miro is about all the tutorials available. It's impossible to get lost; every agile manager should get a look at this Marvel. The daily meeting and other agile tasks are straightforward, making the workflow more accurate even with the remote working issues.
