Almost Perfect
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is a fantastic collaboration tool. I use this regularly to conduct collaboration sessions within my team, to generate ideas (alone), and to orchestrate tightly-knit, high-profile workshops and work sessions with departments and executives within my organization. The tools are easy to use, there is a relatively low learning curve for new users (the basics can be learned in minutes), and powerful features like voting, timers, music and the ability to hide and show canvases are a true win. In a world where remote work is more commonplace, it is hard to imagine getting certain work done as efficiently without Miro. I'm a fan.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some elements of Miro that limit is function. One is the inability to assign "roles" to boards based on user type. For example, as a board owner, I can hide/show frames... but a co-facilitator cannot. So, if I'm sick or cannot make a meeting and boards are hidden, I'm out of luck unless I can transfer ownership to someone else. It would be nice to be able to assign more than own "owner" to a board so those controls can be shared. Licensing is challenging too. I know some competing products allow "free" use of the tool when invited to work in a board, but for a limited time. In our situation any user that needs to be able to "edit" a board must be a licensed user... and that process causes friction and ill-will before people have even used the tool. If working with external clients, the need for privacy is important too, so the ability to set up boards as private, restricting the type of content that is accessible externally, is important.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Miro's built-in templates and create our own. We've submitted templates to the Miroverse and have designed boards that have become a standard within (and beyond) our organizations. Many of us that lead workshops are professional designers and have been leading in-person workshops for years. It's all about creating the ideal end-user experience for participants. Working in a virtual environment has resulted in new challenges (Zoom fatigue, etc) so we've had to invent new ways of creating engaging experiences and this tool helps us do some of that. We've used Miro to create broad (and specific) ideas, orchestrate stand-ups and sprint retrospectives, plan long-term events and educational plans, document discussion, prioritize initiatives, vote on ideas, and many, many more. My team uses this took more than any other software product, especially in a remote-work environment. Even if we were doing things in-person, Miro lets us capture (and retain) our work... unlike a traditional wall or whiteboard.
Fantastic online tool for real-time collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
So much. Real-time visibility to what everyone else is doing online. The ability to use or create templates that can re-create in-person experiences for familiarity or take advantage of online templates to remove the barriers that physical space would make. I also like that you can anonymize participants to enter information without knowing who wrote what - very useful for honest comments.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a bit of a navigation learning curve which is expected with any technology tool. The learning curve is short but steep. Once you get participants over that initial hurdle, they are fine. Low-tech users sometimes struggle, but a little patience and good planning go a long way in helping them get familiar with working in the MIRO space.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
So many things. Focus group feedback, customer and employee engagement, process improvements. The main benefit, the way we are using MIRO, is that we get great information and contributions because we set it so that people can join anonymously. Participants can write their truth without fear of repercussions. People who don't usually speak up or speak truth to power love using MIRO the way we set it up. We also find that introverts love using MIRO as there is a way for their voice to be heard without being drowned out by the talkers if we were in person.
Best collaborative platform out there
What do you like best about the product?
It's best for collaboration, no where else has the ease of use and practical tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it can be slow, and struggle to load boards with lots of material on them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro often takes the place of real world collaboration as we cannot be in person in the current moment, and while nothing can replace the organicness of in person communication, Miro does a great job at replacing physical paper and space. It might even have an edge on the real world because it's perfect for saving collaborative work, sharing work you've done individually before a meeting and organising these outputs...all of which are impossible IRL.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Stay organised, a Miro Board can get filled quickly and can become messy!
It boosts creativity & productivity among remote teams
What do you like best about the product?
The most beautiful feature of Miro is the ability to collaborate in real-time while we work virtually through using its live chats and audio calls features. Besides, what's more, powerful is that we can do many operations through Miro, such as concept maps, creativity, and program workflow modeling.
What do you dislike about the product?
Miro would be much better if it had a note-taking capability. Instead of having to open an additional note-taking app every time, I'd want to have a place where I can write down notes on items that don't appear while I'm sharing my screen.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To summarize, our team has significantly benefitted from the use of Miro, which has resulted in improved cooperation and increased productivity, particularly in the area of business process management.
Just Miro it! Miro helped us change meeting format forever
What do you like best about the product?
Miro provides enough tools (even with a free plan) to facilitate online meetings and keep all relevant information in front of you the whole time. Visualization helps my Team to be engaged and solve complex problems together. It's crucial today as we work remotely nowadays.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes time to specify how to move elements on a board or avoid ruing all your templates for a meeting for new users. So, Miro might be confusing firstly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro several times helped to conduct kick-off meetings and set expectations within teams. Visualization of ideas, processes, expectations in combination with proper facilitation technic guarantees a great result. Also, it's a vital tool for a Scrum Team to have cool retrospectives and planning sessions.
Miro in Engineering classes
What do you like best about the product?
Infinite whiteboard, easy to use, elegant, highly interactive for students, compatible with groups and academic communities, multiplatform
I have used it for more than two years now, and It is a marvelous tool for subjects like economics, programming, history, etc.
Why use a traditional whiteboard if you can save that time with an infinite board for your whole semester?

What do you dislike about the product?
the three board limit for the free version limits projects for students
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Changing from a traditional class to a distance education model in only two days, I needed a big white board, easy to use, and the chance to design every class easily with multimedia references and broadcasting.
And each student can collaborate in seconds!

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Compare all the available options, get all the info you can. If you are using zoom or meets, you know those tools and maybe a few others, so make your checklist and compare, you will find the best choice

My go-to Digital Collaboration Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is a simple, intuitive, and visually engaging software that makes working on a screen enjoyable. While the templates are great, I often use the software for affinity and mind mapping. The simplicity in connecting elements with lines is my favorite feature. It helps me show concepts as they evolve and develop a functional hierarchy. When working on live documents with teammembers, the voting and timing features also work great and it's easy to get around within the document.
What do you dislike about the product?
I want more options for coloring and working with sticky notes. When working with user data, I often color code each participant by color, but there are not enough colors for all the participants, which leads to many problems. Sometimes I will turn over to text boxes, but because they do not auto-resize, it is annoying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am working on analyzing user interview data. I bring interview notes into Miro and afinitize them to draw insights through a multi-staged process of sentiment evaluation, topic arrangement, and jobs to be done. These categories are combined to craft insights from each section of the research. The benefit is quick and easy manipulation of the data. For me, the best part is simply copying/pasting the WIP data into a new section to affinitize; this enables a traceable history of the data - something that physical notes are unable to do
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out! I have used both Miro and Mural, and I easily prefer Miro because it feels more polished
A fantastic tool for cross functional team collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
To me, I find the different templates of MIRO to be very valuable because, depending on the context of my discussions with my team members, I can select the desired template and drive my conversation. For example, it has been beneficial to work on a feature prioritization exercise where I have used the feature map template. Another example is to create a product backlog, and a user story map where MIRO boards have been very productive to use in the meetings and obtain feedback immediately.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice if we had more customer journey map templates to select as the ones currently available do not have a lot of swimlanes focusing on technology considerations, opportunities for improvements which are great to have.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MIRO has helped identify gaps when analyzing the current state and future state for product requirements and the gap analysis brainstorming done using MIRO has been very insightful to the business and technical teams in deciding business improvement areas, technical roadblocks, and both product and process efficiency.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If your looking to collaborate and engage every team member in the most effective and productive way, MIRO is the place to get started!
Virtual meetings and in person meetings can become more fun using MIRO :) !!!

Great tool to facilitate team work
What do you like best about the product?
I'm an independent consultant, and I have used Miro to facilitate workshops and meetings with the teams that I work with. It has made collaboration much easier by allowing us all to work together in real time, and have a record to come back to in order to better track our learning and progress.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it can be challenging to get team members up to speed quickly who haven't used Miro before and might be less technologically savvy. However, I find that once they get it, it becomes relatively easy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has been a helpful way to collaborate in our current virtual environment. Although it doesn't replace in-person workshops and meetings, it seems to be the next-best thing. So grateful for this tool!
Miro - My One-Stop-Shop for All Things Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Miro is the ability to collaborate over virtually anything! As a Strategic Business Analyst and Project Manager, I often have to brainstorm, conceptualize and facilitate discussions around strategies, plans and concepts within the business. Miro is my go-to whenever I have to start something new because if I am stuck and do not know where to begin, there are tons of templates and suggestions which I can build off. The interface and elements are intuitive which makes it so much easier to edit and adapt any existing templates to suit my business scenario.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have been using Miro for a number of months now and I guess sometimes, the choices at my disposal make for a stumbling block with getting started. However, this is something that time, practice and experience will eventually solve. In a recent webinar, I was introduced to the Miro Academy which is a trove of information that is helping me get acquainted with the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am predominantly solving conceptualization and facilitation problems with Miro. The visual element of this collaboration tool makes it very easy to work with others on brand new concepts or ideas, especially considering the Work From Home situation we have come to adapt to. Being able to visually depict abstract concepts, at times simultaneously collaborating with my colleagues, helps speed up the process and bring everyone onto the same page.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would advise those considering Miro to go ahead and sign-up for a basic (free) user account and get to experience the app/platform before signing up for a full account. Because of the vast amount of things you can do on the platform, it would be good to know your way around before you sign up.
