Miro is the best tool for any thing you need involve people (for design development or teaching)
What do you like best about the product?
I like the freedom Miro gives you (it´s a whiteboard where you can customize it as you want). The best part of Miro is sharing the board with a link, and people don´t need to be a member of Miro to edit. I used for all my projects as a UX designer: to run workshops, organize my tasks and run briefs meetings. Amazing!
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing I dislike. If I need to say something, I will say the feature of video calls didn´t work properly when I used, so I now I always try to avoid these feature using other video call software and share my screen.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used it for my UX projects: to run workshops, create flow charts, experience maps, organize assignments, and create the projects plan. The best is that it can be shareable, and we can use it in Teams with the clients!
An awesome tool to help the UX Designer daily work
What do you like best about the product?
I really love the tools as Mind Map and Flowchart, they helped a lot to make my work
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing that really bothers me is the fact that there are few options to choose from icons apps (compared to other softwares like Figma, sketch, and XD). Also, there is no option to recolor the icon
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Miro, I can unite information and do all the parts of research, study, and structure of the UX logic in one software what really helps to show and explain all my ideas and resolutions
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is everything you need if you really like to put your ideas on a board and organize them with a lot of tools. I really love it and helps me a lot in my daily work.
Miro has a lot of useful integrations with other software and although I don't use all of them, it is really nice that it has so many options.
Miro specializes in visual collaboration so it does not support advanced project management features such as project planning and management so it is most appropriate for creative teams such as graphic design, web design, UX design, product development, and game design as we do here at Triplano.
Everyone here at the team, from developers to designers, artists, and producers, will look at a Miro board at least once every day. The designer team (Game, UI, and UX Designers) do most work on Miro, even documentation since it's a great collaboration tool.
I use the Mind Map and Flowchart tools daily and they help me a lot to organize my work in a way that my team understands and that the developers will implement in an easy way.

Rocket fuel for your innovation sessions
What do you like best about the product?
Infinite canvas is one of the big things to prevent you from being stressed about the upfront organization of your work.
Frames are the second preferred thing, combined with presentation mode, which allows you to break out of your PowerPoint world and be fully transparent and collaborative.

What do you dislike about the product?
Selection mode. As you layer objects on top of each other, the double-click function to create new elements does not work as you select the existing things.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Any meeting I have is happening now in MIRO. It helps me create meeting minutes that can be added to by the meeting participants, allow to jointly and real-time conduct user research and record the insights, off-sync build stories and refine the presentations.
Amazing tool for working across the organisation
What do you like best about the product?
We started using Miro within our Product team for workshopping and collaboration (we're a remote first company).
Its such an easy to use tool that we're now using it across the organizations for all sorts of purposes.
They keep adding decent new features regularly and Miroverse is a great new addition for inspiration.

What do you dislike about the product?
The organizations of boards is a little clunky and could be better. As our usage has grown, thats becoming a small inconvenience!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a remote first team (even pre-pandemic) with colleagues across all timezones its given us a platform to work together and asynchronously in a free form manner.
The unstructured nature of it encourages creative thinking over a spreadsheet or doc.

If you are looking for better ways to collaborate you can't go too far wrong with Miro. Even in person workshops get documented in Miro for transparency and visibility.
Perfect tool - easy to use - many ways
What do you like best about the product?
miro is an extremely easy tool to use. it can be used for many purposes and functions. in our case we started using miro to replace the classic whiteboard during the covid period.
later we started to use miro also to design diagrams related to customer jorney and customer interactions with our points of contact. one of the advantages of miro in my opinion is the possibility to interact "really" in real time. the whole team can enter comments and modify the whiteboard in a very collaborative way.

What do you dislike about the product?
As i wrote in the title the tool is perfect. rarely happened to find a platform so well made.
If i really have to point out some aspects that could be improved: 1) with the free plan you can only have three private boards. this is actually a pretty strict limit, but it is still acceptable considering that it is the free version. maybe you could think of giving a trial period during which these limits are not there.
2) It would be nice if you could start a video call directly from miro or if you could use it with MS teams or Google meet. I saw that an integration with zoom was recently released. It would be helpful to replicate what was done with Zoom with teams and G meet as well.
3) maybe it could be useful to introduce a versioning of the whiteboard to keep track of changes made. so you could recover an element maybe deleted by mistake.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We started using miro to replace the "old" whiteboard during the covid period.
After that, we also used it as a brainstorming tool to gather ideas, to work on the customer journey. Extremely convenient is also the lack of extension limits of the whiteboard. this allows those who have the free plan to be able to create very large whiteboards and thus manage the limit of 3 editable boards.
With Miro today we have a tool that simplifies and speeds up a lot of our work. We will no longer be able to work without Miro.
The tool is also very useful because it allows us to share the board with external guests, limiting their ability to modify the content.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a tool to replace the classic whiteboard Miro is for you, but it also does much more.
It lets you have an infinite white space in which you can make diagrams, draw flows, insert tables, screenshots and images, insert icons and many other useful objects to do the work you're doing clearer.

Makes workshop facilitation and presentations a breeze
What do you like best about the product?
As a UX Designer, Miro has enabled me to get my ideas down quickly, group my relevant findings and wireframing. From there, I can then organize the information, add a bit of design and be ready to present or share with our team or organization.
I've found it a great tool to collaborate with other departments and run workshops, ensuring that everyone is on the same page and collect their input. The great thing is that your boards can continually be accessed. So, if anyone has that moment of inspiration they can go back to it and add their thoughts and ideas.
Having the timer feature, and ability to bring eveyone to your screen, as well as the wide range of templates and design tools that help format your information, all these things help me to save time and create a great experience for presenting, workshops or just thrashing out ideas with the team.

What do you dislike about the product?
Perhaps the ability to change icon colours.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Streamlining process mostly, getting quicker feedback on design decisions and information structure. We very much work in an agile way, so miro helps us with communicating and getting much-needed input at each stage of our process.

I've found it great for workshops, presentations, organizing, and creativity. Try it out, you'll love it.
The best digital whiteboarding tool imho
What do you like best about the product?
Pretty much anything is possible with Miro, and there are TONS of integrations. I host multi-company workshops on Miro regularly with up to 100 participants and have never had performance issues or issues with board access. I love how quick and easy it is to link in websites (with previews now) or paste in external images and even extract PDF docs. Actually, I don't think I've ever had a problem with a file type being supported on the board. It's also easy to make the boards look beautiful with user-friendly design tools. Miro makes me feel like a designer (even though I have no background in this), plus it's just fun to work with!
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside of all the amazing features and integrations is that, as with any tool that can do SO much, it can lead to some confusion for those unfamiliar with the board when they first come in and start trying things out. Usually, I have to really simplify my external workshops so that the only task of the participants is to write sticky notes and paste them in pre-made areas. Also something that drove me crazy originally is how tedious it can be to lock all elements of the board separately or even as grouped items. You don't want external users messing with background pieces when they interact on the board (or just accidentally move something or delete something without seeing). Especially when you have complex boards with lots of group areas for many different participants, you have to copy and paste a lot of grouped objects and continually lock things separately each time, which is a bit annoying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problem Solved: Digital collaboration with large groups from different companies and creating an interactive space.
Benefits: Giving a lot of creative space to large groups to co-create and crowdsource, and getting to see more ideas from people who might not speak up as much if it were an in-person meeting/setting.

Dinamic, intuitive and visual. Perfect tool to interact with your team!
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is a tool that revolutionized the management of personal and professional projects. Individually it allows me to organize information visually and in multiple formats at the same time. It's fantastic. As a team, we perform work meetings and User Experience processes, and User Experience research in an efficient and visual way. It is dynamic and intuitive. I really like the possibility of being able to work asynchronously as well. You can see what the other collaborators' actions have been and continue the collective work in progress. Totally recommendable!
What do you dislike about the product?
When using the arrow function, there is always a need to connect one pre-existing element to another. This sometimes messes things up. Many times I want to connect a pre-existing element to an empty field on the board, and I can't do it. I would also like to see more predetermined color and thickness options for the pencil and pen functions. This is because when I want to highlight textual elements especially, I need different colors and thicknesses to differentiate these different types of information to be highlighted.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were able to maintain collective interaction and collaborative work remotely. Everyone is in a home office and yet we still manage to work together dynamically. For synchronous activities, we can work together and see what each other is doing. It is also possible to follow a specific person, which is super helpful. For asynchronous activities, we can work at different times but still collaborate on the common project. When we access the board, it is possible to see what the actions of the other members have been, and this allows us to understand what is new, guiding the continuity of the project in an assuring way.

Easy to Use, Multifunctional, Create your own layout
What do you like best about the product?
I love the freedom that Miro provides when setting up a project. I can write post-it notes, I can create mind maps, I can doodle and it is all done online with a team. I love that you can download and share the boards too because they look nice in a report, update, or to help clarify a communication issue with someone outside of the initial group. I love that you do not have to have the same template or style of creating a layout as anyone else on your team. Miro allows you the freedom to design it how you see it and allow others to add on.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the fact that the free option limits you to 3 boards. I work with several companies for short periods of time and it gets frustrating. As a nonprofit helping other organizations, finding a service that fits the budget and works beautifully like this is near impossible. I wish there was a reasonable process and price for nonprofits. The Miro boards are great to download but as expected if you don't pay for the upgraded version you get blurry, highly compressed versions of your board, which is sad because even for the cheap version one would hope you could at least read the board.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problems that have been solved with Miro are almost limitless with the current growth of my company. The major one we just dealt with was a website overhaul and Miro helped organize the sitemap, helped lay out the template for pages, and helped keep a running tab of completed, in-progress, and need-to-do items. This platform made it beyond easy to see what the sitemap was before and the chaos that it was and allowed us to restructure and see the sitemap for what we needed it to be. It allowed team members to easily change and rearrange various pieces without disturbing the whole structure.
The benefits of a collaborative website that has numerous, easy-to-use tools are otherworldly and that is what Miro has hit upon. The favorite item of the group was the post-it note. It allowed a small note to be left in a clear and separate space. However, the individual comments on selected pieces slowly became the favorite towards the end of the project as it allowed exact attribution to the issue, job well done, or the notification of an update. Another benefit was the ability to download the boards during and after completion. This allowed for tracking/record keeping, it allowed for progress tracking and changes, and it allowed for the concept at the time to be shared with those outside the group.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need an online workspace that allows you the freedom to work how your brain thinks, this is the board for you. If you need absolute structure and predesigned templates I would try the free version first and feel it out. Miro really tries to be an open format and let you decide where to go and what you need but for some, this can be overwhelming. My suggestion is to try Miro with friends or close co-workers first, see how it works for you and your style, and see if it impacts or changes your work habits/flow/time for the better.
Outstanding diagramming & collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Goldilocks approach to formatting options (not too many, not too few), generally sensible defaults, reasonable performance for a web app, serviceable export capabilities.
What do you dislike about the product?
Hitting ‘undo’ causes your selection to be lost, no easy way to embed Figma screens or prototypes if you’re using SSO, consistency of formatting when cutting & pasting from one shape/table cell to another can be spotty, no way to reuse a frame from one board in another other than copying (think Figma’s components), no way to use local fonts, would be nice to have opacity on text & lines, being able to numerically size objects would occasionally be handy (e.g. when distributing a multi-page PDF for printing), could also do with drop shadows on lines, text & shapes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has almost completely replaced OmniGraffle for dawing diagrams like flowcharts, flowcharts, tree maps, journey maps, task flows, etc. We also use it for virtual workshops in the same way we’d use a physical whiteboard, sticky notes, dots, etc. It’s also typically easier to present designs for feedback in a Miro board than in Figma as it’s simpler for colleagues to use. I also use it as a virtual ‘product wall’ where I collect analytics, personas, user research findings, design options, hypotheses, requirements, etc. for a given product/service so team members have all the information they need in one place.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
1. When using it for workshops/co-creation do a basic introduction if any participant hasn’t used it before (possibly in a separate session if most are experienced)
2. For widely shared boards, lock ALL THE THINGS and have users add notes to comment; do not allow others to unlock
