Miro is a necessary tool for jobs which require thinking and collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Endless possibilities to use all sorts of schemes, roadmaps, mindmaps, and so on. For nearly every task where I need to think of something miro have a specific tool
Furthermore, I like a lot of details like labels, reactions to stickers which helps to be more precise
And of course, it's collaboration tools that help our team move much faster, especially these days with fully remote operations. I like to use frames and share a specific field on a board with my teammates

What do you dislike about the product?
The desktop client could be better, I struggle that I couldn't move bar tabs as in regular browsers
Free account is limited, for example, I would like to use miro for my personal tasks but I have only a few boards. On the other hand, I wouldn't collaborate on these boards as it's my personal ones. So it'd be better if miro allow full free access for personal use, as notion did already

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro helps to structure the process of thinking, be more consistent and logical - think of a problem, of possible solutions
we also use it to make roadmaps and collaborate around it with the team – miro's tools are agile enough to meet our everchanging needs

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try free version to understand whether it fit your needs, but don't stop on simple tasks miro become more useful as you learn new tips and tricks
Miro makes sense of complex operations.
What do you like best about the product?
I love using sticky notes to plan operations. Using a Miro board takes complex information making a mess in your mind, and allows you to turn it into a clear flow of ideas that form multiple processes. The templates are excellent too, and the icebreakers are fun!
What do you dislike about the product?
Miro takes a little while to get used to as it has specific keyboard shortcuts. But the training videos quickly teach you what you need to know.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro is helping me plan and track marketing campaigns. I've been able to identify gaps in a workflow that I couldn't see before and execute ideas more effectively.
Easy way to plan and visually communicate!
What do you like best about the product?
I really love using the Mindmaps. My chaotic thought process looks so nice and structured anyone is able to follow along.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't add people in my Org to a board till they have signed in at least once.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I did a knowledge transfer/Training for a complex role in about a week. I could make timelines for things that fit timelines, tables to define terms and roles, and flow diagrams for how to manage various workflows. My trainee was able to ask questions on certain areas and I could answer or build out any new visuals needed to answer. Rather than build out a massive training and make clean slides I just send anyone with questions to my board, so much easier! I was trying to push how hard getting a method identified to my project team for months, but a flow diagram from Miro, and suddenly I had realistic timelines and support in the right places.
Great collaboration tool for a changing workplace
What do you like best about the product?
Quickly create shared workspace for our design team. Images and info can quickly be loaded and arranged to share in real time. Used as a main source of tracking all design work through the project.
What do you dislike about the product?
The drawing and sketching tools could be better. A lot of work is markup of images and drawings and it's not the best for this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
While most of our design team (architecture) has been able to return to the office, we still need to share information across workplaces and while working at home. During presentations its great to refer to the miro broad and even upload now information to it during a meeting in real time. Also a great cateloging tool to show all the work that has been done over the course of a project.
Excellent collaboration tool supporting virtual teams and hybrid working
What do you like best about the product?
Participation has increased with using the tool as I think people find it easier to submit ideas electronically and it can also be totally anonymous. As a facilitator I love the fact that the post it notes are typed and can be read easily! It's so much more efficient having this electronically to start with and the ability to organise themes without the concern of running out of wallspace! The tool enables you to keep everything you've captured visible at all times to everyone and the ability for everyone to participate at the same time is priceless and works seamlessly.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm struggling to find any issues with the tool. Most of the issues I have had using the tool have either been because of user errors or connectivity issues from our own internal networks - not Miro issues at all! I've given a 9 and not a 10 because I still think there's a certain amount of pre-work needed to get people to the point that they can collaborate virtually - it doesn't suit all situations so it depends on the scenario.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work in a virtual team with global team members on business transformation projects - using a tool like Miro enables us to collaborate effectively and share ideas, model them and work on them over a period of time. It's like having the meeeting room all set up and left with everything on the wall, ready to go in next time. Nothing is lost. The tool is so easy to use and we now have confidence using it - the main benefit is that now we are moving to hybrid working, we don't have to worry about scheduling workshops around when people are going to be in the office - we've proven the concept and it works.
Putting the intelligence in innovation processes
What do you like best about the product?
Miro raised our bar and with the help of the templates and examples in the Miroverse we facilitated focus groups and milestone meetings. Miro made remote working worth it. Interconnecting technical experts and businesses in a software development project is one of the challenges every company and organization faces. Miro makes this possible in a way that strengthens the quality of the deliverables and the product as a whole. A true must in the 'New Way' of working.
What do you dislike about the product?
Working with various industries and company classes the intuïtiveness of the UI and interactions can be further perfected.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating a intuïtive app for direct employee participation across sectors and education levels.
Learned to make User Story Maps from scratch without any prior knowledge about agile workflows, same with wireframes, Kaban boards, Service Design methods and Serivce Blueprints. All thanks to Miro.

Easy Collaborative Tool to use!
What do you like best about the product?
I like that a lot of people can work on a miro board without it being too laggy. It has all the basics to get started and not a high learning curve at all.
What do you dislike about the product?
Miro be more flexible for people who want to create more complicated charts. Sometimes when you have a very large board, load time can take so while.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I don't have too many issues, but love how everyone can join in a few seconds without having to go through lots of onboarding or sign up.

Great for people who have a hard time organizing their thoughts! (ADHD friendly)
What do you like best about the product?
I love that the different boards are created with specific organizational needs in mind. There's always a board that will work best for a particular project. It's also super user-friendly by helping with alignments and the tools follow your clicks rather than being locked at the top of the page. It helps me know what I'm editing.
What do you dislike about the product?
It took me a while to decide which board to use. I ended up using the board that looked the easiest to use rather than what may have been the better board for what I needed to do. I got a little frustrated with some boards because I couldn't figure out how to use them. I may have been asked if I wanted a tutorial on how to use it, and I clicked out of it,
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am an extremely disorganized person. I have severe ADHD, and my desk is always covered in sticky notes and full pages of writing that I never look at again. Miro helps me keep my thoughts and processes organized, they turn the full pages of writing and sticky notes into structured and concrete thoughts that I can connect to one another.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
In this remote world, Miro is a great tool for team collaboration without being face-to-face. I've been able to review work from my peers at ease and on my own time, as well as been able to effectively communicate my work to my peers in a way that is organized and tidy with the different editing and alignment tools Miro offers.
Miro is the best online whiteboarding tool I've found
What do you like best about the product?
The way it balances allowing freeform expression and the right level of constraints in interaction with elements. Most tools sit in a spectrum of allowing freeform expression the same way a physical whiteboarding tool would and some rigidity, allowing itself to be more opinionated and solve very specific problems. I feel Miro lies at the exact middle and allows for enough flexibility that people have found it to be more than just for drawing diagrams, but I've seen it used to host games, facilitate workshops, and so much more.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lacking specialization, as mentioned above, there are specific diagrams that are much harder to draw with a mouse. As a software engineer, for example, it's challenging to try and connect elements that weren't intended to be connected the usual box and lines that Miro supports. There are add ons available for some of them though. For others, I just do them in the specialized tool and paste it back to Miro.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The collaboration is another strong point. It's become to whiteboarding what gmail is to email, or google docs to collaborating on documents. I can just as easy jump in, share the Miro board link, and invite people in to the board. Them having to make an account is probably the only barrier to this. There are also a number of neat features for facilitating meetings, like timers, and draw people's attention to your cursor.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's an amazing tool for collaboration that sits neatly between flexibility and an appropriate level of constraint between elements in the board.
Excellent Living Whiteboard Wall
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is a far superior tool to the traditional whiteboard that we used in the office. Previously when in the office, we would write words and add sticky notes to a wall while brainstorming or project planning. At the end of a traditional session, we would either write down the final decision or take a picture to remind us of how we arrived at the decisions we made. With Miro, we can collaborate the same way virtually, and the "wall" lives on, which allows additional asynchronous and synchronous discussions to occur. Miro also saves time as it is quick and easy to review past brainstorming and decisions along with adding new thoughts to the Mior board. Additionally, the highlighting of changes since last time is helpful to see what other team members have added asynchronously.
What do you dislike about the product?
Navigation: I find navigation within Miro tricky and often frustrating. More often than not, I accidentally move information on the board when I intend to move to a different area on the board. I have identified the "undo" button, which allows me to fix any unintended moves, but it causes additional time to correct errors.
Screen share: Although external links relevant to the project can be included in the Miro board, with the Miro meeting, I am unable to share the screen so that all meeting attendees are looking at the same external information. The lack of external screen share causes me to use google meets more frequently than the Miro "meeting" functionality.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro when aligning visions to define a project. It is an excellent collaboration tool, as it allows everyone to voice (write) their thoughts, which in turn allows more enriching discussions including clarification of ideas. The voting feature is great for ensuring alignment on ideas. It alows everyone a "voice" at the meeting to share their ideas. With proper documentation, those who have not attended the synchronous meeting are able to review the Miro board and contribute to the project asynchronous. As a result of using Miro, we have been more successful in aligning the vision and scope of projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Appoint a Miro champion internally to encourage others to use Miro and provide examples to teams where Miro can improve current practices.
