Collaborative Powerhouse with Room for Improvement in Sketching
What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate Miro's ability to facilitate collaboration with lots of people, especially since I work remotely on a team. This real-time collaborative space allows me to work effectively with my colleagues and store information in a manner that isn't constrained by traditional documents, encouraging a more exploratory thinking process. The platform's fun elements, such as stickers and music, add a playful aspect to our projects. I find the variety of features very useful, particularly the timers, the ability to create slide decks, sticky notes for brainstorming, and the option to remove backgrounds from images. It's valuable to me that I can easily create sticky notes, boards, slides, and timers with music, and the platform allows us to upload images effortlessly. Finally, I value the near-unlimited space that Miro seems to provide, which is incredibly beneficial for expansive and intricate projects. This diverse feature set not only enhances productivity but also makes using the tool a pleasant experience overall.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find that drawing or wireframing in Miro is not very easy. I wish it was a bit easier to sketch. One of the things that I really appreciated with InVision's freehand was that you could sketch by easily creating squares and circles by holding down a button like command and dragging the pen across. It allowed for a very quick creation of frames, which I miss in Miro.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro facilitates remote collaboration, allowing real-time teamwork and flexible information storage. It provides a limitless exploratory space and is enjoyable with features like stickers and music.
Great for Technical Overviews, But a Bit Pricey
What do you like best about the product?
It can be very helpful when creating technical overviews
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a bit pricey, and a lot of useful functions require third-party purchases
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro helps with creating overviews of technical infrastructure
Best features in its category!
What do you like best about the product?
It is the only digital whiteboard / collaboration tool I want to use and I recommend it to others all the time. Our globally dispersed remote team can't do what it does without it.
What do you dislike about the product?
A lot of changes, sometimes I feel they change things that work perfectly well. Adding new features is great, moving all the existing features around to make space for them, not so much.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We primarily use it as a collaboration tools, we run workshops with it, hold our stand ups with it, plan our increments with it, map out concepts and ideas with it... basically anything that we would use a board for in a physical space, we do in Miro. And Miro makes it easier than a physical board ever could.
Great for Team Brainstorming, But Lacks Intuitive Design
What do you like best about the product?
Collaborative features for brainstorming
What do you dislike about the product?
Could be more intuitive in terms of controls
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro solves the problem of disjointed communication and lack of alignment in terms of project end-vision
Straightforward Project Planning, With Room for Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate the flexibility that Miro offers for creating project tickets. During COVID times, this flexibility was particularly beneficial as it was introduced by our organization to streamline our workflow. Creating high-level project tickets and structuring project plans, especially for long tasks, has become more manageable. This has transitioned us from relying heavily on Excel-based planning to a more online, collaborative approach with Miro. While we used to use physical spreadsheets to manage tasks, Miro's online capabilities allow for the easy creation of a rough timeline without needing to elaborate immediately on task details. This accessibility and ease of use are significant benefits that enhance my project planning activities.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find it challenging to perform basic tasks like crossing out a ticket or altering the thickness of lines. The line tool is difficult to manage, with lines often appearing uneven and lacking customization in terms of thickness. This becomes particularly problematic when attempting to visually represent task completion in project planning. Additionally, the process of using certain functionalities, such as the shape function to create straight lines, is not intuitive. The integration with Microsoft Excel could be improved, particularly for importing spreadsheets into Miro. Also, creating tables is cumbersome and could benefit from enhancements, possibly by taking cues from Excel.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro facilitates online project planning, making it easier to manage tasks without manual labor. It allows creation of high-level project tickets for long projects, eliminating the need for physical prints and manual updates.
Custom Templates Make Design Effortless
What do you like best about the product?
The custom templates you can easily access on your design board (matrix, to do list, etc.)
What do you dislike about the product?
Miro crashes and lags a out a lot for me
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro is solving my problem of having unorganized work.
Versatile and User-Friendly, But Geared Toward Business Users
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is very simple and easy to use, but has a very large repertoire of additional functionality for people who need it. My other two favourite features are the unlimited writing space, and good integration between desktop and tablet apps. It is relatively easy to shuffle between different boards which is perfect for someone like me who uses it to teach. I have multiple students and each has their own Miro team, which I can connect to. I use it regularly, and compared to other alternatives I've tried (the integrated whiteboards on Zoom and Microsoft Teams), it is significantly better.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the focus on business and presentations, in how the product is advertised and what features receive the most focus. I may not be the target audience here -- I use it exclusively for small-group teaching and one-on-one tutoring, and not corporate uses. I also think the team selection screen could be streamlined, as right now it is a little too complicated to get somebody to sign up and invite me to their team. Finally, the iPadOS app sometimes lags or disconnects, despite a strong WiFi connection on my tablet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to write in real-time during an online lesson. I teach Maths and Physics to high schoolers and undergraduate students, and the ability to talk and simultaneously write makes the lessons far more effective -- very often we are discussing problems where drawing a diagram, or writing down equations is necessary, so an online tablet + whiteboard is necessary. From my experience, Miro is the best platform to facilitate this.
Great tool for collaboration.
What do you like best about the product?
It makes it easy to make boards and collaborate with others.
What do you dislike about the product?
Planning poker cannot be pinned and saved for next time you open the board.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro to do release planning for projects. For example, I make a user journey map to make the backlog.
Intuitive Workflow Planning, Needs Better Selection Mechanics
What do you like best about the product?
I love how Miro helps me and my team visualize data more easily. It's incredibly useful for planning out workflows and designing various processes within my company. I appreciate its capability to allow us to see the big picture all at once which is essential for content planning and any project where a comprehensive view is needed. Additionally, for personal projects, I find it excellent for non-linear storyboarding, helping me organize thoughts and keep track of various interconnected pieces. Overall, Miro provides a crucial platform for both professional and personal tasks by making complex visualizations simple to manage.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find it challenging when clicking on an object in Miro, as it often selects the entire frame and moves everything instead. I prefer to select the text or smaller objects within the frame first, rather than the entire frame. This disrupts my workflow, as I typically focus on smaller details and work outward. Additionally, I wish Miro had more seamless integrations with tools like Google Docs, allowing me to view documents within Miro without opening new links.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro to visualize data and organize thoughts, making complex workflows and nonlinear projects clear. It helps me and my team effortlessly communicate ideas and structure plans, transforming abstract concepts to visual models.
Excellent for Collaborative Brainstorming, But Tracking Changes Can Be Tricky
What do you like best about the product?
its a great brainstorming tool. i could collect all the data together at a single page and then keep filtering it until it makes sense. i find it fascinating that it has the rough work area or a space for brain dump and i can have a presentation worthy page at the same board. Also me and my team can work on it live. its almost like physically working together even when we are working remotely. I also like the way Miro integrates with google meet, and we can project and work simultaneously on it. me and my team uses miro for almost all our projects often . It was easy to create the team acccount and add team members.
What do you dislike about the product?
sometimes its so much data all together that it takes some time to streamline and process. Also when various team members are working on it, sometimes its difficult to locate the last made changes, and also to know who made which change. Also, anyone who has view access can copy the board and make edits to copy without knowledge of the original creator. This could cause data leak in some cases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
mainly solving the problem of bringing a lot of data together at one palce, accessible and editable in realtime by all team members including the ones working remotely.
