Miro is an excellent online team collaboration tool!
What do you like best about the product?
The best feature of Miro is the interactive whiteboard. My software team uses this board to diagram ideas, mock UI, and discuss high-level topics. The whiteboard has many tools that let you edit your UI designs. There are also many templates to choose from if you don't want a blank whiteboard. Miro is also great at collaboration and sharing. Documents can be locked and shared with team members. Miro allows users to give either Read Only access or Edit/Read access. It does not require an app to run. All users need to have access to Miro is a web browser. The web browser Miro app works great, in my opinion. Exporting your final product is also available and gives a high-quality PDF.
What do you dislike about the product?
The panning and zooming on the whiteboard can sometimes be finicky. At first glance, the UI can be a bit overwhelming. It would be nice to have the ability to create your own templates. When multiple people are viewing the same board, I have noticed a small bit of lag. Slack integration would be very helpful instead of emailing new comments or updates to users. While the commenting feature works, it is not as easy as commenting on a Google Document. Miro also lacks in the process flow side as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Miro, I can solve the problem of engaging with my teammates during meetings. During meetings, we can all contribute to the board and see in real-time comments or suggestions. One benefit I have realized is remote brainstorming. I am able to edit a board and then have a teammate make edits that I can quickly see. Miro also helps our team see the big picture.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend using Miro if you have a small team and are looking for more engagement and creating various boards for various products.
Best design research tool I've used so far
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is pretty straightforward, and it is very easy to share boards with clients' teams without having them create accounts.
I have never experienced any slowdown, especially when drag-n-dropping large pictures on mood boards with 5+ people working simultaneously, which is one of the main reasons I moved to Miro.
Connecting objects with arrows is straightforward and accurate, making it very quick to create flow diagrams.

What do you dislike about the product?
I would appreciate the possibility of using additional fonts from Google Fonts or Adobe Fonts, to have perfectly branded boards for clients' workshops.
It'd also be great to have finer control on locking objects, to allow, for example, drag-and-drop of templates with some elements unlocked by default (e.g. user personas cards where only editable fields are locked)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm mostly organizing user research workshops (which went fully online after covid hit).
From a few weeks, I'm also experimenting with creating diagrams we would typically design using specialized software, benefiting from the easiness of sharing and collaboration that Miro offers.

If you need a reliable design collaboration tool, that makes sharing boards effortless, look no further than Miro (I already tested almost all other products around!)
Great collaboration and whiteboarding tool
What do you like best about the product?
Miro has been great for our teams to collaborate while being remote and distributed. There are various ways to whiteboard and brainstorm, and it's been the closest way for us to mimic what we used to do in person! I like the flowcharts to easily and quickly map out processes/flows and the mind map to jot down ideas.
What do you dislike about the product?
Minor - but it would be nice to have additional creative flexibility in the formatting of various boards
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are first and foremost solving virtual collaboration via Miro - having teams across many different time zones and locations has been a bit hectic and grown stale with just virtual conferencing. Adding Miro into our collaboration toolbox at work has been a helpful way for us to engage teammates creatively that we haven't been able to since we have become remote.
Creative Collaboration and Teaching environment
What do you like best about the product?
Brings the immediate & direct hands on experience from whiteboard and Metaplan.
Adds the freedom of infinite wall papers and zooming in and out to change perspective ad hoc
Well prepared elements and functions that make it easy to create clean and appealing results while staying in the creative flow
A huge template library to start new things very efficient and to search for interesting & useful formats. Extra Bonus - the method, the template is used for - is even explained

What do you dislike about the product?
I'm a mindmap-junky. As such, I'm missing some of the flexibility and features of for instance X-Mind.
I'll come back and add, as soon as I've found more downside ;-)

I'm helping startups to develop their vision and get themselves organised.
I'm developing my own organisation and build teaching and training formats in Miro.
I'm using Miro together with the participants within those trainings.

Miro is helping our team get its work done
What do you like best about the product?
Miro has been a helpful space where our product designers have been able to do a wide range of work. We use it as a space for exploring ideas individually, between peers, or as a whole group. It's also a useful self-documenting tool -- that is, no need to create a separate Confluence page to describe the outcomes of a meeting. For example, today I was onboarding a new team member, and it was easy to pop into a Miro workshop board from several months ago to discuss how our team had worked toward an OKR objective/result in the Q1 of 2021.
What do you dislike about the product?
I struggle selecting an item to edit it and then inadvertantly selecting another tool with a keyboard shortcut. That's because I can double click on an object and think that it's in an editable state, but it's not immediately clear that whether the object is or not. If it isn't, but I think it is, then as I start typing, keyboard shortcuts will change the tool to something unintended. I run into this issue repeatedly, even though I try to avoid it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro often to clarify thoughts that I have swirling around in my head. I use a mind map to get my ideas out of my head, and then begin to structure them. I've used that approach for project planning, or simply organizing my day.
Flexible, intuitive tool that produces outstanding results.
What do you like best about the product?
How easy it is to use without lots of technological skill.
The visual output.
Ease of collaboration.
Diversity of products and capability.
Professional finish of output.
Mini, easy accessible videos to enhance user experience and output.

What do you dislike about the product?
The tendency to pick up a frame when trying to move around a board.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a consultant working remotely during the last 15 months, Miro has been an invaluable tool in my successful delivery.
I have used Miro to create a visual Gannt style chart with one client as a collaborative project plan that staff from both companies used to keep track and focused on a time-pressured project.
It provided an excellent collaboration tool for another client when we used it as our meeting space, ideas repository, and design aid to create a range of training materials for external rollout.
It has provided an excellent visualization and ideation space for designing new curricula and process prototypes which I have used to present ideas to clients.

Easy to work with specially for remote teams
What do you like best about the product?
That you can use the boards for all scrum ceremonies
What do you dislike about the product?
That it has a limit of storage, I can't use the same board for all the quarters, I have to erase the previous information when a new quarter begins
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With remote teams we can interact with the board while we are in meetings
Miro is helping me to fill the space the physical office left in my heart
What do you like best about the product?
I like how Miro provides features that capture the atmosphere of what a collaborative work is, so my favorite pieces are the clock for setting the time for the dynamics, the play to put nice music that inspires people to collaborate, and the easiness to create the workspaces in a customizable way.
What do you dislike about the product?
I never use the templates, because I think I produce more if I start from scratch. I also think the zoom-in zoom-out dynamic could be even smoother. But both are details, not a big deal, Miro is perfect, I couldn't live without <3
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving the biggest challenge we have this year with the quarantine but also the biggest challenge of design: putting multiple ideas together in the same space in a digestible way. We are simulating office dynamics, brainstorming online, and at the end create diagrams and getting the information organized and accessible to everyone. I could see the benefits of team building, a better understanding of business needs that saves time at the end of the strategic process.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend to use Miro with an open mind, there's so many possibilities there that you will be surprised. Release the hand of the templates and go free with the incredible and carefully designed Miro features!
Amazing collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
MIro's templates, both user-created and built-in, are great! Visually organizing ideas and work information is far better for my brain than simply writing it down. I also enjoy sharing boards with others. It's fun to see others collaborating in real-time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Miro has a bit of a learning curve that makes it difficult to get other non-Miro users on board quickly. Despite the many ice-breaker activities and exercises, it can still take a fair amount of time to get new users comfortable with the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro to organize and ideate workshops for my business as well as share ideas. It has been fantastic for sharing information with my friends and business partners.
Quite useful but faced difficulties get started
What do you like best about the product?
I found two most potent and valuable features of Miro, and they are:
1. Our team can create various boards and work on them together, virtually and in the most productive way possible.
2. We can also conduct live chat or video sessions and discuss any projects we work on together, making us aligned and intact.

What do you dislike about the product?
As per my experience, getting started with Miro can be pretty challenging and even confusing in some cases due to its overwhelming features and functionalities. Rather than adding so many features all at once, I think they should refine each of them to better user experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All-in-all, Miro has been a wonderful experience for me. It has become my one-stop tool for brainstorming, documenting ideas, and collaborating more visually. It gives the impression that our entire team is working together in an actual workspace because we can conduct live text, audio, and video sessions simultaneously.
