Best collaborative online workshop tool
What do you like best about the product?
Amidst the Pandemic, Miro has become our go-to tool to conduct online workshops with our clients, featuring 20-30 participants. I like that the design is it's quite simple and intuitive to use and has all the functionally for a workshop (and they keep on adding to it). We started using it for Journey Mapping workshops but have since used it for various other occasions. Interactions with the support staff were also of good quality. They were very fast to respond and address your questions.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are still some functionality improvements that can be made but I see that they are introducing new features almost daily. For example, yesterday I found myself trying to make the size of existing shapes to be identical but couldn't do it so I put a new shape and started from scratch. There was also some limitation to the number of votes people could get and a few other small things. I felt the support team was not that eager to learn about those but as I said they are making daily improvements.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Conducting a remote collaborative workshop. It's perfect for our needs. There are of course many other uses for it i.e. Journey Mapping, mind mapping, process-visualizations and you name it...
Good for collaboration. wfh, remote collaboration. Need more templates
What do you like best about the product?
The kanban board, the frames, the icon library, history checking and comments
What do you dislike about the product?
I cannot import my LUMA template within an existing board. Creating a template from scratch is fine but importing into an existing board is impossible.
It becomes a bit laggy when there are too many items on the board. It can be laggy when using miro on a vpn internal network
copy and paste is weird that I can only use ctrl c/v to copy paste. the copy paste sometimes does not paste what I copied on my working document
Miro does not allow me to import excel sheets into a table
Wish there was a way to group boards into projects within the same team

Powerfull and simple to use virtual white board
What do you like best about the product?
Very intuitive to use and with a lot of tools. Also, a good plethora of external integrations makes it even more helpful.
I also like the voting option, and the adition of the possibility of music during the time is also a small but great idea.
The possibility to organize several boards in projects makes it easier to navigate once we have a lot of boards.
The jira integration is great not only to create user story mappings but also to create tickets in jira after a brainstorm session or after a retro.
Another thing that I like a lot is the miroverse where we can find a lot of templates to use and also share easily our template with others.
The reply time from their support and the time to fix issues when I tried it was also very good and exceeded my expectations

What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing model is a bit expensive, although the possibility of public editing and sharing with a password helps a bit.
It also tends to be a bit more hungry and doesn't cope well when you have too many small elements in one boards, making it rather sluggish

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used it mostly for team collaboration, visual facilitation, asynchronous communication and visual note-taking.
It allows for good team collaboration and everyone is at ease working with it.
It helped quite a lot facilitating remote meetings since it made visible what we where talking about

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use first the free version to try it out. There's also a trial version that allows us to experiment the paid features.
If you plan to use it with huge whitboards with a lot of small objects be sure that your PC has 16 Gb of memory

Extremely versatile piece of kit
What do you like best about the product?
It's incredibly easy to collaborate on pages with your team, which is great for me because my startup is made up of my two co-founders and I; they both live in Birmingham while I live in London. It has also helped me to map out the key priorities for me as head of the business. It's great to have an infinite amount of space to work with to help get everything out of my head and down in front of me!
What do you dislike about the product?
There are probably a lot of great use cases for Miro which haven't been highlighted enough. If they were then I could stop using other tools and bring more of the companies operations into one place.
Another thing that I dislike is that some of the templates aren't flexible enough. For example, the mind map template is a little bit clunky when trying to organize all the different strands of the map. You can't make the subject of a strand very close to that of another strand and you end up with a mind map which is very spaced out.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're a remote start-up (we all work in different locations), so Miro has made it possible for us to collaborate and plan out long-term strategies without needing to be in the same room. Having this kind of flexibility is so crucial in the modern environment, and I've not found a tool that has helped us to collaborate more than Miro.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you make the most of it and look through all the templates for inspiration on how to best use the tool!
Intuitive and versatile whiteboard solution
What do you like best about the product?
I like the flexibility of Miro. It has proven very useful in running and documenting workshops, making todo-lists, visualizing and analyzing qualitative research data etc. I also like the fact that it's easy to import stuff from other software (like excel). If you need to use it with people who are not familiar with it, it's pretty easy to get started too, so no big introductions needed. FOrmatting is easy and the UI general has a very nice balance in terms of extensiveness and simplicity.
What do you dislike about the product?
For me, more extensive exporting functionalities would be very beneficial. However, so far I've been able to make workarounds to manage this. I would also like a bit more AI to the use logic, where the solution would analyze the patterns I'm making in terms of formatting, so that I would not need to conduct so much manual formatting. Further, when you have a very high amount of users on a single board (we use it to run over 150 student university courses for example), things can get messy pretty quickly. More options in terms of determining user rights would be useful here. Also, things can get difficult if you are a member in many teams in different organizations (under different licenses basically). Then you have to manually enter passwords etc., which gets pretty cumbersome fast.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro helps in dealing with the lack of f2f interaction that we're experiencing right now due to covid. It's been great for research activities but also teaching. We use it to work with companies, in our internal project work I'm pretty sure we'll keep using it when things get to normal. Digital whiteboarding is here to stay.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
My general advice would be to just try it out if you have any tasks that relate to running virtual workshops or thinking visually.
Miro is the new trace for designers
What do you like best about the product?
Miro lets me sketch with my colleagues, it is better than sketching on trace because we can literally sketch in the same place. The only limiting factor is the size of my pen tablet. I can also leave notes for them when they are not around, with pictures or whatever is useful for giving feedback.
What do you dislike about the product?
Miro can be a little slow, especially when I am sketching and am making a lot of little lines quickly. It can also get slow when the board is full of lots of images.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My teams are able to sketch while working from home! It keeps all of our sketches in one place. I can see what everyone is working on. It is easier to save sketches for referring to later.
Engagement Boost with Intuitive Design
What do you like best about the product?
I like Miro's design and the way they constantly implement new features. I find value in the community around Miro, which offers lots of different widgets, tools, and templates that I can use. I appreciate that they are always evolving. Learning from the community's templates and creating my own helps me structure my knowledge and build a library for future workshops and scenarios.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's one thing that sometimes doesn't work well: when new participants join my board during a webinar, especially if they have never used Miro before. Although they don't need to register, sometimes Miro prompts them to register, which can confuse them. They get lost and don't know what to do, so they can't enter. This creates some frustration at the beginning.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro to keep remote participants engaged and create artifacts during virtual workshops, allowing them to have something tangible to refer back to.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I have started to use Miro with its free plan and it was then when I realized that I can use it for my business. So using it for free gives the taste of the platform.
Hands down my favourite tool for thinking and collaborating as a PM
What do you like best about the product?
An extremely intuitive tool that suits .
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing currently to note as it is good.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro is my daily thinking and collaboration tool. Being so intuitive, I can shape my ideas precisely as I want to in the smoothest way possible. Visually doing it just makes it so much clearer in my head and for everyone, I collaborate with. It's honestly better at visually representing my ideas than if I had a pen and paper. There is no friction in how I use Miro for my needs, and the general aesthetics of Miro is very pleasing as well.
In terms of collaboration, I am so impressed by how easy it is to have a large audience (say more than 10 users) work together on a Miro board, which makes workshops so much easier to host, in fact, probably better than had we done a workshop in-person.
I've used their integration as well, especially the Slack and Notion integration which are also regular tools I use
In addition, I regularly see feature updates by Miro quite often, another point that shows the team do not rest on their laurels and always try to make it better, even though I have absolutely no complaints about it.
Miro as a product and a company should definitely be a leader in the software industry because it is just that good. They truly cover the macro and micro details in how they build the product.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need to think more clearly and work with others, regardless of your position, do consider using Miro above all other tools. It's better than actually drawing on paper to visualise ideas and it is better than using Word doc to gather requirements
Do you miss the physical whiteboard when you are in remote training or workshops? Try Miro!
What do you like best about the product?
Infinitive whiteboard. +25 people are working simultaneously. Connection with Jira and confluence. Access to edit to all participants without the need to buy a licence for each one. Drag and drop of videos and pictures.
What do you dislike about the product?
The usage of frameworks is not flexible. I have tried using the roadmap framework, but I can not change the text size, for example. It happens with all frameworks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As trainer and coach, I perform workshops and need to work with others with giant whiteboards. We do not have a whiteboard now; then, we use Miro to solve the problem. Other problems we solve are timekeeping, comments, voting, estimating, etc. Miro give the opportunity to make the event interactive and full of life.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
When you deliver training or workshop and there are participants with no experience with Miro, add an ice breaker exercise in Miro to allow them to understand how to use it.
Intuitive, Versatile but slower loading on larger diagrams
What do you like best about the product?
I love Miro's intuitive nature that made setting it up easy without much training. I appreciate its ease of use, allowing me to effortlessly share diagrams globally and streamline my discussions by converting complex ideas into visuals quickly. The integrated search helps find necessary resources like icons and pictures effortlessly. I also value how Miro stays ahead by recreating components, offering excellent price-to-value.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find that it is lacking some speed now and then, especially on larger diagrams. Additionally, i had an issue when components were all linked and start resizing and moving all together, which seems to require optimization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro to translate words into visuals, saving time and facilitating clear communication. It allows me to share diagrams globally with ease, enabling immediate discussions on actual issues rather than lengthy explanations.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Dont think to long about added value vs cost. Try it and find out if it works for you and your teams.
