Amazing Collaborative Tools
What do you like best about the product?
So many templates! I love that I can build the foundation with a template and then edit every little bit as needed for my particular project. I also like the ability to see my colleagues working together on the board when we are in a workshop setting - we call it the "feeding frenzy".
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the sharing/editing settings confusing. Who is a "team member" or an "editor"... "has a seat" or is just granted "access"... the fact that I fumble on the settings with almost every board tells me it's not super intuitive. In a similar vein, I find the labels and settings/rules for "projets" or "teams" or other organzational suff confusing to navigate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The boards are a great way to bring remote teams together in something more exciting (and flexible and functional) than a power point. We also love that you can leave the board "open" after a meeting so that people who aren't great with thinking "on the spot" can have time to add their participation at a time that works for them.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't hesitate :) Once you start exploring all the options deeply, it's incredible how many options there are available to build any visualization you might need.
Finally the tool I need
What do you like best about the product?
As responsible for the roadmap at our company, I need a tool to give me a good overview of the quickly changing situation. The roadmap is a combination of internally prioritized topics and customer requirements for upgrades. Building a consistent roadmap for the single epics, features, I am in continuous sync with different projects and their timeline. Weekly I share this information across the various stakeholders in the company - R&D, sales, management, product management, project.
The MIRO allows me to achieve the best visibility without going into technical details like in JIRA. I use only the Kanban template, which allows moving features and scheduling them very quickly to the single releases. I feel better organized and have better control over the situation.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is the possibility to create JIRA tickets for each card, which is good. It would be great to have also the option to create presentation slides for the boards.
I also tried the roadmap template with resource planning. Not flexible enough to add teams and to add members to the team. Depending on the requirements, we could enlarge a team for a particular release and decline another group. I expected features like "Drag&Drop" or "+" (add a team), (add a member to the team) or add a column to the template.

I described this in the last part. Collect requirements and build a roadmap, which I share with various stakeholders in the company.

Try different templates. Learn how to, and I am sure you will like it.
Awesome Tool!
What do you like best about the product?
Miro has been a great tool for collaborative workshops for my team. It's extremely easy to use - for folks with varying levels of comfort with technology and has come in very handy while working remotely. It's really great at quickly being able to put together process maps. I really like how you can connect arrows directly to process boxes, and how they track with the boxes as you reformat. It has really decreased the time I spend meticulously putting together process maps, and helps me focus on the actual content / through process of what I'm creating.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were more graphic tools and capabilities. I usually will create visual materials in another program like Figma and then import them into Miro. There is not a lot of flexibility with shapes, colours, etc. But at the same time I guess that's not what Miro is aiming to do. Perhaps it would be helpful as an admin to be able to get contributors to "Follow" you, instead of having to ask them to "follow" you every time you go to another location on the board.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Miro to help us in gathering, synthesizing, visualizing user feedback. It's very beneficial in collaborative activities. It helped us understand pain points, work together to do things quickly but with a rich experience. I find it very helpful to gather a large quantity of feedback at once. Miro is also helpful in enabling those who are less comfortable voicing their opinion to contribute to the conversation in a more comfortable medium (e.g. contributing on a "sticky" to a digital whiteboard.)
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out! It takes very little time to set up and learn how to use it, so there's no hurt in trying. It might be a great tool for your next collaborative project/activity, and it's really fun to get creative with the icebreakers you can do on Miro.
One of the best ways to design and follow up projects
What do you like best about the product?
One can play with many types of structured mind maps, with several team members across the globe, from Portugal, Colombia, Germany; Sweden and Spain.
It's intuitive to select and try out several canvas and interact and create relations between them. The design is seamless to understand.
It is easy to share globally, and with several team members, of different projects in the free version.
I first found it in workshop made by ONU-HABITAT, and it was easy to interact and contribute to new and diferent ideas to solve complex challenges, with diverse stakeholders in several countries in real time.

What do you dislike about the product?
There might exist a few templates or guidance when first doing some brainstorming. For example, in slidebean they guide you with a shared template to pitch the ground for the first try. It would be great if there's also a way to follow up on tasks through a Gantt timeline.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using Miro to solve public policy problems and to follow up on start-up business plans. I first found it in a workshop made by ONU-HABITAT. It was easy to interact and contribute to new and different ideas to solve complex challenges with diverse stakeholders in several countries in real-time.
Also, I am using it to design and execute two business plans with two private companies across the globe. And to sum up, I also use it as my mind map of personal and professional life goals.

So good for whiteboarding that we use Miro even when we have an actual whiteboard in the room
What do you like best about the product?
Seamless collaboration, no different from if you were really in a room with the other people on the board. Easy to see what your colleagues are seeing. Intuitive to navigate even a large board with hundreds of elements, not much lag, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
iPad and iPhone experiences leave much to be desired – slow and it's painful to try to direct the software to understand if you're moving an item or trying to move yourself. Also, I think you definitely need an external mouse to use Miro because using a trackpad for it hurts my entire hand (and soul). But honestly – Miro is still the best out there. I tried a competitor (Lucidspark) last week just out of curiosity, and it was so awful to use that it sent me fleeing back to Miro within a day.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro is the best for breaking down any complicated problem in life. I've used Miro to figure out everything from a software platform (for work) to a new app for a fitness studio (for a friend) to outlining a novel and deciding how to hunt for a house (personal projects). Half an hour on the board helps everyone get their unspoken assumptions out in the open for more effective problem-solving. Love the large template library – some of my favourites include the User Story Map and 2x2 matrix.
Good for collaboration. wfh, remote collaboration. Need more templates
What do you like best about the product?
The kanban board, the frames, the icon library, history checking and comments
What do you dislike about the product?
I cannot import my LUMA template within an existing board. Creating a template from scratch is fine but importing into an existing board is impossible.
It becomes a bit laggy when there are too many items on the board. It can be laggy when using miro on a vpn internal network
copy and paste is weird that I can only use ctrl c/v to copy paste. the copy paste sometimes does not paste what I copied on my working document
Miro does not allow me to import excel sheets into a table
Wish there was a way to group boards into projects within the same team

Powerfull and simple to use virtual white board
What do you like best about the product?
Very intuitive to use and with a lot of tools. Also, a good plethora of external integrations makes it even more helpful.
I also like the voting option, and the adition of the possibility of music during the time is also a small but great idea.
The possibility to organize several boards in projects makes it easier to navigate once we have a lot of boards.
The jira integration is great not only to create user story mappings but also to create tickets in jira after a brainstorm session or after a retro.
Another thing that I like a lot is the miroverse where we can find a lot of templates to use and also share easily our template with others.
The reply time from their support and the time to fix issues when I tried it was also very good and exceeded my expectations

What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing model is a bit expensive, although the possibility of public editing and sharing with a password helps a bit.
It also tends to be a bit more hungry and doesn't cope well when you have too many small elements in one boards, making it rather sluggish

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used it mostly for team collaboration, visual facilitation, asynchronous communication and visual note-taking.
It allows for good team collaboration and everyone is at ease working with it.
It helped quite a lot facilitating remote meetings since it made visible what we where talking about

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use first the free version to try it out. There's also a trial version that allows us to experiment the paid features.
If you plan to use it with huge whitboards with a lot of small objects be sure that your PC has 16 Gb of memory

Miro is the new trace for designers
What do you like best about the product?
Miro lets me sketch with my colleagues, it is better than sketching on trace because we can literally sketch in the same place. The only limiting factor is the size of my pen tablet. I can also leave notes for them when they are not around, with pictures or whatever is useful for giving feedback.
What do you dislike about the product?
Miro can be a little slow, especially when I am sketching and am making a lot of little lines quickly. It can also get slow when the board is full of lots of images.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My teams are able to sketch while working from home! It keeps all of our sketches in one place. I can see what everyone is working on. It is easier to save sketches for referring to later.
Hands down my favourite tool for thinking and collaborating as a PM
What do you like best about the product?
An extremely intuitive tool that suits .
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing currently to note as it is good.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro is my daily thinking and collaboration tool. Being so intuitive, I can shape my ideas precisely as I want to in the smoothest way possible. Visually doing it just makes it so much clearer in my head and for everyone, I collaborate with. It's honestly better at visually representing my ideas than if I had a pen and paper. There is no friction in how I use Miro for my needs, and the general aesthetics of Miro is very pleasing as well.
In terms of collaboration, I am so impressed by how easy it is to have a large audience (say more than 10 users) work together on a Miro board, which makes workshops so much easier to host, in fact, probably better than had we done a workshop in-person.
I've used their integration as well, especially the Slack and Notion integration which are also regular tools I use
In addition, I regularly see feature updates by Miro quite often, another point that shows the team do not rest on their laurels and always try to make it better, even though I have absolutely no complaints about it.
Miro as a product and a company should definitely be a leader in the software industry because it is just that good. They truly cover the macro and micro details in how they build the product.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need to think more clearly and work with others, regardless of your position, do consider using Miro above all other tools. It's better than actually drawing on paper to visualise ideas and it is better than using Word doc to gather requirements
Miro helps me to organize my mind
What do you like best about the product?
I really like that the way of working is similar to illustrator which is what I use to take notes because it allows me to slide / move in an "infinite" workspace and create tables.
I also like the fact I can duplicate worspaces and share them with other members. It allows me to choose who I want to share it with and also I can see when they are looking at it. Also the reactions and emojis make a really comfortable space where to work at.
I like the fact that I can divide workspaces into subfiles, as I use it for the courses I teach and also the ones I am student at.

What do you dislike about the product?
You cannot add bold and italics inside notes and
Integrate the clock with music from apple or spotify (although I don't know if I would concentrate) probably if I add a playlist exactly for that moment of study or work
It should be able to be grouped in subfolders, at least 3 classification categories, I want it for my notes of each course
More tools for drawing

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly to organize my ideas for essays and the notes I take during my master courses. I first take handwritten notes on my notebook and then I organize them better in Miro.
I also use it with other teachers to plan the classes for students. It is really helpful as we can then duplicate the board and share it with them.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I was reluctant to use it at first, but once I did it I couldn't be more satisfied. Is is actually very intuitive. I come from the field of graphic design, and the fact that many tools work pretty much the same way, made it a lot easier. I don't know why would I do without it, as my mind is very disperse.
