Miro is the best tool for the job!
What do you like best about the product?
I absolutely love the integrations with other apps for Miro, but the best thing about Miro is how easy it is to pick up for all kinds of users. You don't have to be a pro to create and edit, but there's plenty of opportunities to create messy, neat, organised, disorganised chaos, whatever floats your boat! This app/web app is so versatile, I'm obsessed!
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the integrations can be clunky, but this feels more like a problem with the supporting parties rather than Miro. Microsoft Teams for example was a long-winded setup that didn't really make much sense, but Miro's guides were on hand to assist!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
User research analysis is at the forefront of my work, but even hashing out team and squad organisation and planning helps by using Miro. I love the ability to share this work so seamlessly!
Great tool for across different functions and teams, for both individual and team projects.
What do you like best about the product?
I've used this tool across different teams and functions, and the tool is very adaptable to each team's needs. I've used it with fashion designers to look at trends, walkthrough sketches and colors, and to plan product drops. I've used Miro with marketing teams to view different marketing strategies, look at marketing photography, and built out calendar timelines. I've also used this tool as a Product Manager to create strategies, work with UX to wireframe user flows, and capture competitor examples. In all 3 scenarios, we were able to adapt the tool to each use case. Miro is easy to use and easy to share.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've used Miro where 40+ people are working from the same board, and it is hard not to overwrite other people's work - either moving objects around by accident or accidentally deleting objects. We solved by locking boards and setting time slots for teams to work in the tool but it does seem like Miro is better suited for smaller groups to work on the same board.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As mentioned above, I've used Miro for presentations, mapping out user flows, creating calendar timelines, building out strategies, walking through creative content, and group mind mapping activities. Regardless of the team or the type of work we are doing, Miro can be used for all.
Limitless Co-creation!
What do you like best about the product?
I like the way it helps us explore our ideas and collaboration. Extremely intuitive for designing and giving presentations. It has varied templates. Aesthetically pleasing. I like the infinite board and the ability to create dynamics with multiple people on the same board. Timer and voting tools are great too.
What do you dislike about the product?
I make a lot of mistakes trying to navigate the boards and ended up dragging my colleagues' drawings from one side to the other. It demands a lot of the computer's hard drive, freezing a lot, when using a very basic computer. Another point is that the only support channel for most paid versions is email, only the enterprise version offers better support.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
internal company problems and how to solve them in the pandemic. It is very common to carry out Design Sprints in my product team, in addition to other meetings with a lot of collaboration, many cards pasted on the walls of the room. In the pandemic, we were forced to find a solution online and Miro handled this problem masterfully.
The BEST flowchart / workflow diagram design app: great looking, easy to use and collaborate
What do you like best about the product?
- Intuitive and easy to use: both for experienced or beginners users creating diagrams (mind maps, flowchats, workflows, funnels, and so on) it's incredibly easy to use. The overall user experience it's amazing. You can easily move around combining your keyboard and mouse for zooming in, pan, duplicate and connecting items or groups.
- Contextual menus gives you additional control for styling, creating links or arrangening items with layers control.
- Fast: never lags, no matter how big your diagram and how many items it has, always workf very fluidly.
- Looks great: suggested color palette and shapes looks consistent and you don't need to work too much on styling the items. As a Design Manager, this is a plus, since many other diagrams apps I have used in the past looks a little bit outdated.
- Shareable and easy to comment and collaborate: for me, one of its beast features. As a previous user of offline apps (like xMind Classic, which I used for many years) Miro allows you to easily share and collaborate in real time. Clients and team members can add comments, that can be used as tasks, or just to mention anyone in the team.
- Frames: excellent option for showing or hiding certain parts or segments of your diagram, very useful for presentations.
- Not just for diagrams: and finally, Miro's great not just for diagrams; you can also use it as a wireframing tool. Includes a library of UI items that the wireframing process, both for Web and Apps design.
I've been using Miro for about 6 month's now, and I know it has so many other features I'm not even aware. More than a mind map app, it's a full ecosystem to support your planning, thinking and design process. Very happy so far :)

What do you dislike about the product?
Not that I "dislike" but things that could improve the experience:
- It would be great if it could include some sort of auto-alignment option. You can align your items manually, but when I have too many items, I could use some feature that could arrange all of them using some sort of rule for separation, vertical and horizontal alignment.
- Wireframing library UI items could be a little bit more extensive and include more components.

- Mind map diagrams creation: flow chart, sales funnels, launch phases diagrams.
- Structure ideas and team collaboration
- Wireframe creation, mostly for web design

The experience is very clear, objective and has many organization possibilities.
What do you like best about the product?
What I most like is the sticky notes, because it helps me to remember and organize my ideas. In addition, it helps with team planning and insights. I also enjoy to use the agile workflows, because it helps our volunteering projects to be clear and full of collaborative ideas.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I don't like is that sometimes when you drag the board to go to another part out of your sight, it just messes everything up. I think it's the only experience that wasn't clear to me at first. Now, I understand that I need to go to settings and enable the navigation mode to do it properly. I think it could be better, so I don't need to check it all the time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problems with organizing the team in specific projects or on our daily work. What we should improve, continue and stop to evolve our work. Miro has a significant impact on our work cycles, volunteering projects and on ourselves as professionals.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Always check settings first to enable what you want in the experience. On the other hand, the platform is already quite intuitive and full of possibilities to help youand your team to be organized.
Very versatile and useful collaboration tool for planning, brainstorming, training...
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is an incredibly versatile tool that I've been using in a professional setting for a bit less than a year now, and it has been extremely helpful for several of our internal workstreams and projects. Whether we are planning a brainstorming meeting to conceptualize a new project, we want to keep other team members updated on our current activities, or are implementing virtual trainings for stakeholders in a different continent; Miro has done wonders to helps us visualize, clarify, conceptualize and present ideas and thoughts. I'm pretty confident that I will continue to use Miro in the future, both in a professional and on a personal capacity!
What do you dislike about the product?
You definitely need a mouse to use Miro, and unless you are working with a larger-than-laptop monitor, the tutorials and helpful messages will make it hard to view the board. Also, when using the sticky notes, I frequently misclick the option to create an arrow when I only want to change the sticky size!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Planning projects, letting my colleagues what I'm doing, capturing the thoughts and discussion of a group, teaching
Miro is miles ahead, it's faster than my brain, unlike Lucid or Mural that just slow me down!
What do you like best about the product?
It works at lighting speed, so intuitive
What do you dislike about the product?
Struggling to import big PDFs from lucid
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are running full service design, discovery, remote workshops, problem framing, service blueprints, design thinking workshops, collaborative workshops, retros, roadmaps, low-fi collaborative team wireframes, user testing analysis. It just works, it's smooth, sleek, mega fast, we can onboard easily and scale without being punished or blocked. It's secure, and after 1.5 years using Mural, and 4 months struggling with Lucid chart/spark, it's honestly lightyears ahead. I can load multiple files, massive complex files that in competitors, I would have my memory eaten up, crashing computer, ice-age speed loading. There's a reason almost everyone out there uses Miro, it works how it should do and support don't tell you that your breaking it because it was never intended for heavy use, Miro asks for more! It's taken a lot of convincing to switch, but so enlightening to see something so responsive, something that fits like a glove to everything you do and everything you possibly could do!
Introduced in this job, will take to next job
What do you like best about the product?
I started a skeptic - oh god, another laggy fake whiteboard. Can say without doubt that this is my favourite tool adopted by our team during pandemic. My favourite feature is the fact that I can copy templates from other parts of my company - so if we are working on a bit of marketing, I will steal a storyboard from PR team, but when we are working out how to explain products to our partners, I head over to the roadmaps created by engineers for a template. It just gets something down on paper, so I can start planning the workshop.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am the person in the group who clicks on the 'blocker' faded out square thing, and deletes it. Never been sure why they are there, never worked out how to avoid ruining them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cross team collaboration without being f2f. If there was the slightest lack of intuitive UI, or it lagged, or it was ugly, or it made my laptop fans take off - it wouldn't stick.

What do you dislike about the product?
day passes, the reason being is sometimes our teams are sharing boards that are to viewed only but when one of our members click on it we are then charged for them since they do not have a full licence and only need to view boards not edit.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've used it to solve alignment across the business, for example making flowcharts for a particular issue and having the team adhere to it so we are all reading from the same book and all customers receive the same level of service

Miro - The best visual whiteboard
What do you like best about the product?
The interactive tools and elements allow collaborators to work together. Miro as a tool allows for all members of the team to offer a creative and unique outlook on all ideas and makes sharing sessions amazing. The built-in timer as well as all the other tools and creative offerings make it a totally fun and unique experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a tad tricky to navigate if not on a pro plan
The zoom feature needs to be a bit more promptly displayed as it can be sometimes hard to navigate within aboard
Maybe more a variety on colours and post it options
It can be hard for new people to get started as there are so many functions and options to work throughs
Sometimes the image previews don't load properly and can be very difficult to work out what board corresponds to what issue
