It allows you to collect information on a very large workspace in a visual way, making it possible to insert lots of information that is immediately accessible and also understand the workflow.

What do you like best about the product?

Useful layout and easy to share, it is all cloud based and don't need to share a powerpoint or other tool

What do you dislike about the product?

If someone else makes changes and you haven't locked your diagrams, all the lines can end up completely misaligned.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Creating diagrams to visualize the entire workflow helps me clearly identify areas that need improvement. This approach is far more effective than sketching on paper or using another tool, especially when it comes to sharing the results with others.

What do you like best about the product?

Miro is highly intuitive and facilitates teamwork through real-time collaboration and helpful templates. Integration with other tools helps keep things organized.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Workshops with the team and the customer is easier with this versatile visual helper.

What do you like best about the product?

I’ve used Miro for awhile now, and the best thing I like about it is the ease in which you can navigate between pages. It makes things go so much quicker.

What do you dislike about the product?

We frequently have very long Miro boards and sometimes it does get a little slow especially if a lot of people are on it, but nothing too crazy!

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Oh it solves a lot for what we do. It makes it so much easier for everyone to collaborate together and work in real time without having to wait for slides to load. It also is especially beneficial to us when we are partnering with another company because we can both use the boards and communicate a lot clearer.

What do you like best about the product?

Miro is good at establishing a historical path of our developing scientific theories and (re)experiments. We can follow the evolution of difficult concepts over the course of many months without losing the conceptual work upon which they are based It also enables our internationally distributed team to iterate on with intricate biological pathway diagrams asynchronously. This saves wasted time in the meeting as a team member explains minor adjustments when there are time differences.

What do you dislike about the product?

Finding particular project boards in our expanding library can be like searching the bumper game at picnics of yesteryear! Custom tags have a less detailed overall search function. Archiving boards is not so well integrated into our long term research and it would be beneficial to have a more explicit linking of related boards to form a continuous development project heritage.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Some of our own research projects date over a multiple number of years and it is very hard to induct any new scientists into these projects on previously made decisions and justification on why left experiments fail. Documentation was disjoint, and difficult to traverse across platforms. Miro also acts as a non-static, living knowledge base that lets new staff members visually trace the path of our hypotheses and previous experimental result. This greatly eliminates the time to onboard them and aids in the fact that we do not make the same mistakes that were made before.

What do you like best about the product?

The visualisation tools are fantastic—very intuitive and make it easy to just dive in and figure things out as you go.

What do you dislike about the product?

I've noticed that Jira tickets sometimes lag. For example, when I update a ticket's status in Jira, I might check the board a day later and still see the old status displayed. I haven't really experienced this issue with other integrations, and while it's not a major problem, it is a bit annoying.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Once I have a brief Miro planning session at the beginning of each cycle, project management becomes almost effortless. This approach eliminates much of the tedious administrative work, allowing me to concentrate on actually building things, which I really appreciate.

What do you like best about the product?

Using Miro has completely transformed the way I work, especially when it comes to team collaboration and visualizing complex projects. Honestly, I can't imagine going back to a time when I didn't have this tool.
The first thing that blew me away was the sheer versatility of the platform. It's not just a digital whiteboard; it's a massive, flexible workspace where my team and I can brainstorm, map out user journeys, build flowcharts, run agile ceremonies like retrospectives, and even design prototypes. The infinite canvas is a game-changer—it means no more constraints on our ideas. We can just keep expanding and connecting thoughts seamlessly.
The pre-built templates are a huge time-saver, too. Whether I need a quick SWOT analysis or a detailed Kanban board, Miro likely has a professional, easy-to-use template that I can drop in and customize in minutes. It makes getting started on a new project feel instant.
What truly makes Miro shine is its focus on real-time collaboration. It's incredibly intuitive. My team, which is fully remote, can be spread across different time zones, but working together on a board feels like we're all in the same room. We can see each other's cursors moving, drop comments, vote on ideas, and use the built-in video chat without ever having to jump into a different app. This level of synchronization has made our meetings so much more productive and engaging.
If you're looking for a tool that breaks down the barriers of traditional documents and spreadsheets and unlocks a much more visual, dynamic, and collaborative way of working, I can't recommend Miro highly enough. It's an indispensable part of my daily workflow now.

Suggested Improvements and Areas for Change in Miro
1. Enhanced Text Editing and Formatting
While the visual tools are incredible, the text editor can sometimes feel a bit clunky or basic.
* Better Rich Text Options: I'd love more granular control over font styling, paragraph spacing, and indents to create more professional-looking documents or detailed notes directly on the board.
* Sticky Note Overload: When sticky notes get packed with text, they don't handle overflow gracefully. A small indicator or an option to automatically expand the sticky based on content would be very helpful.
2. Improved Board Organization and Performance
As my boards grow into massive collaborative spaces, navigation and load times can become an issue.
* Better Off-Board Archiving: I need a more efficient way to "put away" finished sections of a board without deleting them or having to create a new, separate board. A dedicated "Archive Zone" feature that minimizes content and reduces the board's memory load would be fantastic.
* Loading Speed Optimization: Large boards with lots of images and embedded content can take a noticeable amount of time to load, especially for users with slower internet connections. Better performance optimization is always welcome.
3. More Advanced Integrations and API Access
The existing integrations are good, but I'd like more depth and flexibility.
* Deeper Integration with Project Management Tools: While we can link to Jira or Asana, I want more advanced, two-way synchronization. For instance, creating a Miro card should auto-create a detailed task in my PM tool, not just a link.
* Open Access to the Community Template Library: It would be great to see a more open system for users to contribute and manage highly sophisticated, community-built templates, much like how Figma manages its community files.
4. Simplified User Interface for New Users
Miro's power comes from its complexity, but it can be overwhelming for a first-time user.
* A "Lite" Mode: An option to simplify the toolbar and menu for new users or for meetings where only basic sticky notes and drawing are required would reduce cognitive load.
* Tutorial Overlay: Better, context-sensitive tutorial overlays when a new user first interacts with a complex feature (like the diagramming tools).

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

1. The Problem: Disconnected & Ineffective Remote Collaboration
In the past, remote team work meant constant switching between tools: video for discussion, a text document for notes, and a shared drive for visual files. This felt fragmented and made real-time brainstorming almost impossible.
* How Miro Solves It: Miro provides a single, shared, and interactive visual workspace (the infinite canvas) where we can all work simultaneously.
* The Benefit to Me: Massive Productivity and Engagement. Our remote workshops and brainstorming sessions are now just as effective—if not more effective—than in-person ones. I can see my team's ideas flow in real-time, react instantly with emojis or comments, and everything is captured visually in one place, eliminating the need for complex, messy meeting minutes.
2. The Problem: The Inability to Visualize Complex Ideas
When dealing with user journeys, system architectures, or product roadmaps, traditional documents like spreadsheets or slides are static and linear. They struggle to show relationships, dependencies, or the big picture.
* How Miro Solves It: It offers unlimited space and a huge library of templates and tools (mind maps, flowcharts, diagramming tools, and kanban boards) to map out any concept.
* The Benefit to Me: Clarity and Alignment. I can build a complex system map with just a few clicks, making it immediately understandable for both technical and non-technical stakeholders. This visual alignment means fewer miscommunications, faster decision-making, and getting buy-in on strategy much quicker.
3. The Problem: The Time Sink of Setup and Formatting
Starting a new strategy or planning session from scratch usually involves hours of drawing, formatting, and copying layouts, which detracts from the actual creative work.
* How Miro Solves It: Miro has an extensive, high-quality template library for almost any agile ceremony, business framework (like SWOT or Business Model Canvas), or design method.
* The Benefit to Me: Instant Start and Focus on Value. Instead of spending an hour building the framework for a Retrospective, I can drop a Miro template in two seconds and immediately focus on the content and discussion. This saves me countless hours of administrative work and lets me focus on the strategic, creative part of my job.

What do you like best about the product?

I appreciate the ability to include documents and images, as well as how simple it is to create diagrams. The color identity feature really enhances the look of your frames, making them much more appealing. I also enjoy the collaboration feature.

What do you dislike about the product?

It's frustrating that you can't select text from the documents you upload, since it forces you to retype information that should be easy to copy and paste. Additionally, the AI often doesn't understand the instructions I give it, and its creativity feels limited because you're restricted to just four options.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

This tool is helping me visualize my ideas much more clearly, which makes me want to revisit them because they are so visually appealing.

What do you like best about the product?

I don't use miro all that often given the nature of my role but I have always found it easy to use when I need to or when jumping into a brainstorming session with others. It is intuitive and the help centre seems pretty good also

What do you dislike about the product?

I feel as though the help centre could be better integrated into the board view - i.e. instead of having to pop out to a new window/tab, having some free text chat bot / AI help eg 'how do I create X' that returns an answer would be helpful for people that do not use miro very often.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

given my role is more technical I do not use miro often but it is useful for mapping process flows and the like
