Intuitive and Time-Saving, But Needs Enhanced Text Features
What do you like best about the product?
I love Miro's intuitive format, which makes it very easy to set up. I also appreciate the various templates, which are well-thought-out and ready to use. These templates are a real time saver since I don't have to create anything from scratch. It helps me clarify the design and facilitates brainstorming. It's also helpful for getting stakeholders to contribute their ideas without needing to hold meetings.
What do you dislike about the product?
I often feel frustrated when I need to type long texts into Miro. It has limited characters and formatting. I wish it embeds a bit of Word element, or Notion kind of format, easy to create header or insert pages, etc. I would like to be able to create header, color code, or add code block or insert image as document, but it has so much limitation if I was to do that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro to mock-up projects as an informal 'sign off' before diving into content creation. It helps me clarify designs and makes brainstorming easier, often skipping meetings by having stakeholders contribute directly.
Miro Makes Collaboration Visual, Fast, and Engaging
What do you like best about the product?
What stands out most about Miro is how it turns collaboration into something visual, fast, and actually engaging—not just another static tool.
Real-time collaboration that feels natural – multiple people can brainstorm, map workflows, and build ideas together without friction
Visual thinking at scale – great for mapping processes, pipelines, and systems (which is huge for operations and recruiting workflows)
Flexibility – whether it’s brainstorming, project planning, or tracking pipelines, it adapts instead of forcing a rigid structure
Templates that accelerate work – you can go from idea to structured output quickly without starting from scratch
Cross-functional alignment – it makes it easier to get stakeholders on the same page visually, which reduces back-and-forth and misalignment
Net impact: it speeds up thinking, decision-making, and execution—especially in fast-moving environments where clarity and alignment matter.

What do you dislike about the product?
What I like least about Miro is where it can slow things down instead of speeding them up:
Can get messy fast – without strong structure, boards turn into clutter and become hard to navigate
Performance issues on large boards – lag and loading delays when too many elements are added
Over-flexibility – no guardrails means inconsistent workflows across teams
Harder to track execution – great for ideation, but not ideal for managing tasks or accountability end-to-end
Learning curve for new users – not always intuitive for people unfamiliar with visual tools
Net impact: it’s powerful for brainstorming, but without discipline and structure, it can reduce clarity instead of improving it.

Easy to Use, Needs Fewer Annoyances
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Miro is easy to use and offers a lot of options, which is really helpful for planning slides and presentations in school. I find it makes my slide presentations prettier. The initial setup was also very easy and fast.
What do you dislike about the product?
The AI feature that pops up every time I open a project is a little annoying, it feels like Adobe. Also, I wish there were more shortcut keys.

I use Miro to plan slides and presentations, making them prettier. It's easy to use with lots of options.
Robust, Long-Term Strategy Boards with Helpful AI Summaries and Strong Templates
What do you like best about the product?
The most helpful part about Miro, that helps it stand apart from Figjam for me, is that it can function as a long-term 'living strategy' document, rather than purely for temporary in-person collaboration. While the Figma integration is useful, I like how Miro has a more robust organizational structure. I've also experimented with using the AI tool to summarize sticky notes, and found it surprisingly useful in getting a clean picture out of messy data. I also think the templates in Miro are a bit more useful than what I can find in Figjam, and I personally have not had any issues with performance or lagging.
What do you dislike about the product?
As a designer, the thing I dislike about Miro definitely would be the lack of customization when it comes to the visual aesthetic. I understand the need for simplicity, but at the same time I would feel much more compelled to use it if I could create a visually beautiful document — this could mean allowing users to use hex codes/color wheel to pick their stickies colors, having more font options or font size options beyond small, medium, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There is an inherent value in spatial thinking and reasoning that is often lost in modern collaborative software, and I think that is the main area Miro solves for. It is definitely most valuable during early-phase project work — the ambiguous stretch where you're moving between research synthesis and direction-setting and nothing has a fixed form yet. Having a shared surface where I can cluster interview quotes next to emerging patterns next to rough flow sketches means the thinking stays connected rather than fragmenting across Google Docs, Figma files, and Slack threads.
Powerful Visualization But Pricey for Freelancers
What do you like best about the product?
I love everything about Miro. It's so easy to use, and it's easy to visualize what I'm thinking. Working with visual thinking is great, and thanks to Miro, the way I can shape my ideas is amazing. It has a younger look and feel, it's fresh, and my customers love it. The initial setup was pretty easy, which made it simple to start working with Miro.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main thing that doesn't work well for me with Miro is that it can get kind of expensive as a consultant. I want to share and allow my clients to post little things on the boards or share for a certain time, but it's too expensive to add every single user just to share our designs. I'm a freelancer and consultant, so I can only allow people to place comments. It would be nice to allow them to place at least some post-it shapes or something similar.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro helps me share ideas with clients, put them together in one place, and discuss them easily.
Awesome Templates and AI Chat Assistance That Structure Agency Thinking
What do you like best about the product?
It’s awesome. The pre-defined templates, along with AI Chat Assistance and design generation, really help me structure my thinking for my agency.
What do you dislike about the product?
Searching the relevant theme or design. Once found, it is perfect for the purpose.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Planning, structure and design the thinking, decision making
Accessible on Any Device with Flexible, Ready-to-Use Boards
What do you like best about the product?
I think the biggest advantage I see with Miro is that anybody can be on it. For example, I’ve got kids working off Chrome Books, phones, and some old computer they’re using at home and none of them have ever called me and said “I don’t have access.” The variety of ways to arrange the boards has been helpful as well; regardless of whether we need a timeline or a discussion area, most times there’s going to be something that will fit without me having to put it together myself.
What do you dislike about the product?
Too many choices. I know that seems counterintuitive, but when you first open up the app and want to do something simple, you’ll end up spending way too much time deciding which layout/template/format to choose from. Petty complaint but the boards can become messy very quickly if your students have any creativity at all, and there is little-to-no means of controlling the mess.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Generally speaking, I wanted one central location where a large group (my class) could add their thoughts, projects, videos, etc. without everything getting turned into an e-mail chain or Google Doc that only 3-4 people were editing.
Effective for Visual Communication, But Lacks Speed
What do you like best about the product?
I like Miro for the ability to communicate projects to the team and receive their feedback effectively. I appreciate the flows and the ability to build a pipeline of information. I also enjoy being able to move from project to project seamlessly. The initial setup of Miro was great.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the speed and limitations on usage and sharing for small teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro to communicate projects to the team and get their feedback, which helps in project management. I like the flows and ability to build an information pipeline, plus the ease of moving between projects.
AI Features Streamline Complex Diagram Building
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the new AI features that allow you to just describe what you wanna do or add documents, and it will build a diagram for you, which then becomes editable, which is so convenient. The main benefit is that I used to have workarounds to create diagrams with complex tables, but now I can just take briefs from my customers, whether it's a document or a Google Sheet, give some context on how my platform works, and Miro will build very complex diagrams in no time. This feature saves hours and provides a much clearer view for my customers. It's also convenient that these diagrams can be edited in the future if we choose to change their structure.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the onboarding part is a bit longer to understand than I planned. It took me longer than I expected to become proficient. Note, I onboarded before the AI features were available. I thought it would be more user-friendly to get to advanced features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro to easily illustrate complex data relationships, saving hours by creating reusable diagrams from documents or Google Sheets, giving customers a clear view. I like the AI features that quickly build and edit complex diagrams. It's a must have.
Essential for Collaborative Ideation, Lacks Seamless Integration
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Miro is feature-rich and allows people to interact at the same time, which is great for collaboration. The multimedia and AI features are impressive, making it easier to have meaningful contributions, record sessions, and facilitate voting while staying within our own setups. The initial setup was super easy, and I find it very intuitive. Although the onboarding could be a bit better, it's not a major issue for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
The tool does feel quite isolated to the rest of our setup. We are mostly on Wrike and Microsoft Teams, and it would be great to keep everything on a single view. I'm not sure what the right solution is here.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro helps align, document, and collaborate across distributed teams, allowing meaningful contributions, session recording, voting, and teamwork from anywhere.
