Complete collaboration tool thats is perfect for today's remote working
What do you like best about the product?
I use Miro for a multitude of activities. As no project is the same, I can use the templates and tools that make sense to collect, organise and plan what I need to do. From there, sharing is super easy with people being able to work together in a meeting, or my preference is people can add their thoughts and comments in their own time.
What do you dislike about the product?
I found it a little overwhelming to get started as there are so many features, templates etc but now that i have my 'go to' templates i'm a lot happier :)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work as a Product Manager and working with coworkers and clients internationally. I use it for Story planning, roadmapping, iteration planning etc. I also prefer the style of using boards and visuals rather than large text documents.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get started with using the templates to brain dump thoughts. It's flexible so you can always move and organise and set up structure later.
The best solution to work together on a broad range of subject, and it work remote !!
What do you like best about the product?
The easiness to learn, and use miro. And the speed of the site itself, even with a lot of content, the miro never lag or crashes. You never lose all your work. Miro is saving it for you.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is hard to list things I dislike in miro, but I think it could profit from a bit wider variety of forms to create and express yourself. Also, the interface to choose your workplace is a bit messy sometimes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Whenever we need to work on a new subject or brainstorm on anything with my friends and colleagues, we rush to miro. It makes sharing information and though so easy.
Great tool with many different use cases
What do you like best about the product?
It is very easy to draft out and communicate ideas. The infinite whiteboard offers lots of room to play with, and thanks to very useful features such as wireframes or cards, the idea can be elaborated easily without cluttering the space.
What do you dislike about the product?
Miro offers a lot of templates; however, I haven't found myself using them much because they haven't matched my exact requirements or are difficult to adjust. Also, I am not a big fan of the table feature, and it would be nice if there were the option to add and edit a spreadsheet to the whiteboard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using Miro primarily to conceptualize features before sharing them with other stakeholders in the company. I create rough mockups that our design team can gather inspiration from or take notes on points that have to be reworked or decided.
Top tool for homeoffice collaboration!
What do you like best about the product?
Everyone has the possibility to look at the same board with their access, the need to share the screen diminishes. To pick up a conversation in the next meeting based on the picture we created saves a lot of time in recapping and onboarding. It was amazing to be able to explain a very complex matter on different meta planes to the management, based on the picture we created on our miro board. Though the compliment to miro is not the picture in itself, but the process in getting it, to optimize and tweak it. I do like the repositories, they speed up the process for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
The usability in a Browser setting is annoying as browser shortcuts and features overrule the board/site. e.g. "backwards-Button" on my mouse - all nice and smooth, but in miro i just change the site. Right-click is not possible. So this basic premise is already the biggest weakness. In the corporate setting, some hybrid would be great, but I can understand inherent apprehension to this Idea from a professional standpoint as a requirements Engineer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are working in a home office environment. We cannot look physically at whiteboards and flipcharts. So the basic need is fulfilled. But as I can take the result of one meeting, enhance it and use it as a starting point for the next meeting is great. The next level of people in the hierarchy get the possibility to appreciate the work gone already into our ideas and can contribute way faster. I use the boards in the development of requirements for the software. Based on a miro board, I can explain the planned process and software. The Developers can come back to the board and make their estimations concerning the difficulty and time needed for the development without me. That is really helpful!

Just do it ! (sorry nike ;))
Shared whiteboard tool on steroids
What do you like best about the product?
In some ways, Miro enables workshops even better than a physical whiteboard. No need to clean up after you've finished, or make sure you've remembered enough pens and sticky notes. You can make the space as expansive as you like and return to it whenever you feel like it. Once everyone has connected, collaboration works very smoothly. It also allows you to create very slick-looking visuals like flowcharts and system diagrams. And the built-in mind mapper tool is helpful as well. Overall, I like the level of flexibility that it provides - you can use whatever visual language you want - while making it easy to perform common tasks like adding arrows between entities and writing sticky notes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Getting everyone up and running on a new board can take some planning unless you want to spend the first 10 minutes of a meeting ensuring that everyone has edit permission. While Miro is easy to use once you're familiar with it, there is a bit of a learning curve when you're getting started. It would be great to reduce the number of popups and feature announcements, or at least suppress them until you're ready to look at them. Usually, when I'm opening a board, I'm trying to get something done, so I will dismiss any popups without bothering to work out if they're useful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Running and participating in workshops with teammates who are all working from home.
Developing product and technology roadmaps, for presentation within and across multiple teams.
Clarifying my own thought processes by writing things out and visualising them.
Creating diagrams to embed in blog posts and presentations.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Compare the features of Miro against other tools that you're using, and consider how Miro offers the benefits of multiple tools in one package. Consider how frequently you would benefit from a multi-user shared whiteboard.
Best Tool for Workshopping
What do you like best about the product?
I love using Miro for all my stakeholder workshops; it is simple to use with many great templates in Miroverse. It has made our virtual experiences so much easier, especially throughout Covid.
What do you dislike about the product?
At this point, there is nothing immediate that comes to mind. The Miro product team is always making updates and constantly improving my experience with the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro has given me the ability to translate things that we used to do in person virtually in a seamless manner. It has made it easier to engage teams across the globe and document everything digitally without going back and documenting everything afterward. It is perfect for collaboration between teams and stakeholders.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly recommend this tool over some of the other whiteboarding tools out there. I have had an opportunity to use various tools in my career, and Miro is by far my favorite.
The virtual whiteboardingwith some cool extras
What do you like best about the product?
I love the timer feature for keeping workshops on track. A delighter is also the the music that covers the awkward silences when people are thinking or just adding content to the whiteboard but not speaking.
What do you dislike about the product?
The smart shapes. It's a great concept, but it's weak with a mouse. I think it benefits from proper freehand drawing, like on tablets. I just work around this by using the standard shapes and minimising any mouse required drawings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Primarily it's a digital whiteboard that has replaced our physical boards and walls in the office. As such, it's easy to update - more so as people can update all at the same time! It's also a place to record history. In the past, people took pictures of whiteboards or invested in costly tech solutions that could print the board's content for safekeeping and later refer back to. With miro, we leave a session as it ended and either start a new frame or a new board to continue. It's just super simple and cost-effective.
Online collaboration tool that isn't boring
What do you like best about the product?
As a UX designer, it makes collaboration and research synthesizing relatively easy. Easy to create and show the work/effort that goes into grouping insights to clients.
What do you dislike about the product?
Though it doesn't happen often, it can slow down a bit depending on how many post-it notes you might have on a board or the laptop/computer I'm on.
Trying to copy and paste more than 50 items from a spread sheet would be helpful as well.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use miro to synthesize UX research; surveys, interviews etc., taking qualitative answers and mapping out themes uncovered.
Also used for collaborative purposes, we used dot voting to gather what ideas were the best.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Better to try and see how it fits with your work requirements. But it's a straightforward program to use and a great place to do a mind dump before refining ideas and parking ideas aside.
The best whiteboard collaboration tool out there
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to collaborate with others, run workshops and other work sessions, and how the Miro team is clearly constantly learning about their users needs and building new cool features!
What do you dislike about the product?
Well, it's not much of a dislike, but they announced a clustering feature for the post it notes on their annual conference, and it's not available yet. It's really hard to be teased like that, and not have such a great feature available!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro makes it a lot easier to collaborate with the team. Besides the functionality to have everyone on the same board, seeing each other's cursors, etc. I think the tools Miro makes available and the way the whole UI looks makes everyone more comfortable with whiteboarding. Some people are usually shy or not comfortable with their drawing skills, and Miro feels just like a playground for your ideas.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't waste any more time looking for a solution. Miro is the best!
Excelent. Much more as a whiteboard
What do you like best about the product?
Interaction on the board in real time, much like being in the same room. The support of multiple file extensions, to work on them directly on the lookout, is incredible. It would be great if this support is expanding over time
What do you dislike about the product?
When the page is refreshed, when using the web, it expels you from internal video calls. I find it very difficult to register a client or guest from a board. It should be an option at hand (example right click on the user_ unsubscribe from the board)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaborative remote work. I went from having to use at least 2 platforms simultaneously and having to exchange files to be able to write information, to being able to do it in real time. greatly improves workflow
