Great whiteboard for preparing my language classes
What do you like best about the product?
Miro (online whiteboard) helps me to prepare my Brazilian Portuguese classes with fun first of all to myself.
Most of the people do not know that to teach is most of the time a lonely process. You are not always surrounded by people and talking.
As a teacher you do a lot of research, reading, writing and collecting data in order to make our classes more enjoyable for the students and for ourselves in the long run. We also do not want to get bored talking the same way as in the past 10 years!
I got to know MIRO through Google research during the pandemics in May 2021. As I was giving classes with Zoom and Skype, I tried to make it more enjoyable with images and to give structure to my classes.
Now I am going through my papers, because I am moving out, and I see how much we accumulate with papers. Then I am digitizing my documents and class material and I will use some of it with MIRO.

What do you dislike about the product?
As I am not a full-time employed teacher, I cannot afford the premium version.

Tried many but loved the smoothness & friendly tools . Even my students prefer it than any other.
What do you like best about the product?
The copy and paste option. The smoothness, concept maps, templates, the ppt preparation, moving around the board .... It's an excellent magic whiteboard.
What do you dislike about the product?
Still the tools for math teaching like a compass, ruler, bisector , equation writing options missing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Peer teaching, Assessments, PPt presentation. Sharing, annotation, copy & paste. Hide and tell with sticker, link sharing, locking the slides & history.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Please try the friendly collaborative whiteboard platform for teachers and, most importantly, for students. Found it very good in peer teaching, assessments, presentations, reviewing, checking history, disciple, a delegation of tasks, innovative methods for assessments by sharing the links for google forms, the use of sticky notes, chats, feedbacks, the slides sharing, brainstorming and endless whiteboard. I have used other apps, but they do not hold this level of performance.
My meetings are 100x more productive (and fun) with Miro
What do you like best about the product?
I love the templates. They've actually taught me new brainstorming techniques and given me ideas on how to run my meetings. Also, the UI is slick, clean and a joy to use. Much prefer it to Mural.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really want a private workspace! I know you can technically make boards private by not sharing them, but I'd prefer a dedicated space for them. Every time I make a board, I'm thinking "is someone going to stumble upon these shitty half-baked ideas by accident?".
Also, I don't love that I have to be redirected to a browser to see all the templates. When I was browsing the template gallery, I almost missed the CTAs at the bottom: "Discover more Miro templates" and "Explore community templates", which made me think you didn't have any more. Basically, I'd like to see all your categories within the template selector, without having to leave the tab.
Lastly, I don't like that you have to type in peoples' emails if I want to give them editing access to the board. I want to be able to give everyone at the company editing access through the "anyone with the link can..." dropdown. Right now, I can only let people comment or view, which is a bit annoying.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I don’t just use Miro as a dumping ground for existing ideas—I use it to spark entirely new ideas.
I'm new to running brainstorming sessions, so I rely on Miro's templates to inspire me. I'm confident that my meetings and brainstorming sessions would be way less productive without Miro.
Miro also helps me organize my own thoughts and conjure up new ones. I'm not a designer, I'm a writer, so I always assumed my brain digested words better than shapes. But Miro's easy-breezy interface has opened up a new world of visual brainstorming that's never been accessible to me, a non-visual person with zero design skills.

Using miro for group dynamics
What do you like best about the product?
I used miro for a group dynamic to identify what is the role of the QA in the development process. Miro was really easy to use and all the people enjoyed the experience. We could define topics for the roles using post-its and the idea of the meeting become really clear with this action.
What do you dislike about the product?
I found some trouble using that feature where no one can see the names of the other viewers for that meet. But I confess that I have low experience using miro, so probably when I start to use it more I will have no troubles.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problems solved:
Designing flowcharts to understand how a feature works.
Understand the attributions of someone inside a role in the company.
Understand the flow of an android app.
In the past, used to design mindmaps
Benefits:
Good design
Fine colors
Easy to use

Great Collaborative Tool for designers and non designers
What do you like best about the product?
The thing that I like the most about Miro is its simplicity. The design is user friendly, which means that colleagues that are not designers, feel comfortable using the tool and are not intimidated at all. It's interface is user friendly and has very cool features like adding tunes or voting.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am struggling to think about what I dislike. I probably would say that normally when you select templates, the preview looks very nice from a design perspective and once it is converted in the Miro board it does not look as pretty.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am enhancing collaboration, promoting transparency in the company and a place that is easy to access.
An indispensable, unique, workflow-essential diagramming tool
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is a best-in-class tool for collaborative whiteboarding. As a software product manager, I use this tool extensively for analyzing business logic, transactional flows, technical architecture, and process maps. It can also be used for lightweight wireframing. Miro has had an incredible impact on my ability to communicate creative ideas to teammates from across functions – engineering, design, and operations/business. It's just really indispensable and I recommend it for all product managers.
What do you dislike about the product?
My only downside is that Miro's user experience for announcing new features in-product is a tad aggressive (a modal that comes up over the whiteboard). I wish it were more in the background.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Clarifying data models; clarifying business logic; clarifying system and software architecture design; user journey and user persona mapping; thinking through edge cases.
Limitless whiteboard for most every team collaboration need!
What do you like best about the product?
I love how the Miro Boards are genuinely limitless whiteboards - you can keep adding, creating, and everything updates in real-time. There are tons of features embedded - planning poker, emojis, templates, stickies, etc. It makes my work and my team collaboration FUN! The Miro team is also very accessible for support needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can take some time for someone new to Miro to learn all of its features and functions and move around smoothly. Luckily, Miro offers "academy" classes to assist with training. Now and then, I have performance issues, but it could be a function of my work computer/servers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I utilize Miro for customer journey mapping work. I can map out the journey, understand pain points, brainstorm potential causes and solutions, prioritize solutions, story map, and create new designs all within one place.
The best solution for collaborative meetings
What do you like best about the product?
Connected to many other tools that we use (Jira, Google docs). Makes it actionable.
Simplified Screen captures of any URL
The new meeting feature completes the solution for any type of meetings now.

What do you dislike about the product?
If you create a lot of different boards like me, your account looks like a mess very soon.
I'd love to have other ways than folders to organize my space. Tags for instance would be useful.
I'd also love a 'master' feature. Like in Power point. Change the layout on the master and the changes applies everywhere.

Without MIRO there would be no remote culture
What do you like best about the product?
There are so many things; where do I start? I love that MIRO allows you to collaborate virtually with anyone on your team. It lets us "get in front of a whiteboard" and put all our thoughts out there for planning sessions. I also love that the mobile app is so robust! It is so easy to work on the go. Well done to the engineering/product teams. MIRO is fun.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice to archive some old boards. Not necessarily delete them but archive them in case we want to reference them at a later time. Other than that, I really am loving my experience!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are doing everything in MIRO to execute the vision of our startup. Everything from marketing, product development, business strategy, value alignment, team bonding, etc. is in MIRO.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Create projects early on because it helps the team stay organized.
Great tool for collaboration, ideation and visualization
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is easy to use and there is a wide variety of tools available. Sharing options fit our needs and it is an excellent tool for ideation, roadmap creation, brainstorming, and design of processes. It is essential for our Product and Engineering teams. There are many practical, pre-built templates, and the Miroverse offers even more options. The community around Miro is also great.
What do you dislike about the product?
We would use Miro even more if it would be easier to integrate the results from a Miro board to our agile delivery or Roadmap tools. We can link entire boards easily, but for example, creating a Ticket on a Miro board could automatically connect to an item in other tools (we are using Targetprocess), but it is not available yet. The wireframing solution in Miro is helpful but feels limited now, we have better solutions for low-fidelity wireframing. I find the Note section of boards useful for meetings, but the functionalities are a bit limited. It would be great to easily link this to other systems, documents, schedules, etc. There were some enhancements to diagramming, but I would still like more pre-built items tailored for Engineering (e.g. displaying entity relations). Overall it is still a very good solution though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest problems it solves for us are ideation and brainstorming across departments, visualizing business models, roadmaps, OKRs, displaying processes and flows and capturing ideas around solution architecture.
