Obvious why this is the go-to tool for project planning and where organization is required
What do you like best about the product?
Hands down is flexibility. Having come from using Visio, Lucid, and a variety of competitors, Miro is definitely the tool to use today. It "just works". We use Miro for many things...
* collecting thoughts/opinions from cohorts of people
* flowcharts/decision trees
* infrastructure diagrams
* retrospectives
* UX designs

What do you dislike about the product?
Three biggest downsides.
1. I had to pay up to get the icons/shapes i needed (GCP, AWS)
2. Hard to tell what the right zoom level is when starting a new board. This is especially true when the board is has many people contributing in a semi-stream-of-consciousness manner. In some places, sticky notes seem too big, other places the same sticky notes seem too small
3. I have a few colleagues that experience cognitive overload because there are no "guardrails", "guides", "lines to say within". They freeze up so can't readily use Miro. Thankfully, the mermaid integration helped

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visualization. Where Notion, Confluence and wikis capture text, Miro does a far superior to visualize. Miro really helps express "a picture with worth 1000 words", if not more
It´s an excellent tool to create and collaborate with other members team
What do you like best about the product?
Importing templates is very straightforward, and I can edit them at any time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I get lost when I have several boards and projects to manage.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm a very visual person, so I need something colorful and visually engaging to help me easily understand everything in my projects.
Ideal for Collaboration and Students
What do you like best about the product?
I love the clean and user-friendly interface of Miro, which makes it easy to adapt and start working immediately. The ability to work in a team in real-time and collaborate is especially useful for my architecture studies. Additionally, the integration with other applications like Google Images, Google Meet, and Google Drive is a great benefit, as I work a lot in the cloud. I also appreciate the large size of the board, which allows me to avoid the accumulation of many files.
What do you dislike about the product?
The size of the sheets that can be imported is very small, and when you zoom in, they are not very clear.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro for real-time collaborative work and plan review, easily accepting applications like Google Drive, facilitating my academic process without the need for multiple files.
Miro is the perfect collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is the perfect collaboration tool for working with students and for teams in my workshop sessions. It is incredibly easy to use, so I don’t need to spend much time explaining how it works – everyone can get started right away.
Another big advantage is that Miro constantly improves its platform on a regular basis. Every new feature that is introduced is designed with simplicity in mind, which means it integrates seamlessly into existing workflows.
For me, Miro combines ease of use, continuous improvement, and great functionality – making it the perfect tool for collaboration and creative teamwork.

What do you dislike about the product?
The free version is limited, and advanced features can get expensive if you want to use it with larger groups.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In my hybrid class, one student is located in Shanghai while the rest are in Switzerland. Without the right tool, it would be very difficult to create a shared learning experience and keep everyone equally engaged. Miro solves this problem by giving us one central platform where all students can collaborate in real time, no matter where they are.
It brings everyone together on the same digital whiteboard, so distance and time zones no longer create barriers. Students can contribute ideas, visualize concepts, and interact with each other just as if they were in the same room. For me, this has been a huge benefit because it makes hybrid learning truly inclusive and dynamic.

Useful tool for collaboration with distance
What do you like best about the product?
Possibilities offered such as : creating diagram, put ideas like in a whiteboard
Invite people easily
It helps in some case the participation

What do you dislike about the product?
Some diagram are not so easy to use even you spend time. Such as orgchart, it as to be mor flexible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Conserving ideas and gathering them all in one place is very helpful. When I share my mind maps, it reduces misunderstandings and makes it easier for others to understand my points, which in turn shortens the time needed to find solutions. This not only saves me time at work but also helps me persuade other stakeholders more effectively.
Good for what it's good for
What do you like best about the product?
Miro fills a gap in our toolkit. It provides an intuitive and flexible space for brainstorming, planning, and collaboration that isn’t covered by other tools in our company’s software suite. It's a go-to tool when:
* Mapping out ideas visually, especially when collaborating with visual thinkers
* Collaborating with groups of colleagues, synchronously or asynchronously, in a shared workspace
* Building out processes in real time
In short, the ability to collaborate easily and see everyone’s contributions unfold on the board adds a dynamic element we don’t get elsewhere.

What do you dislike about the product?
Challenges we've encountered after using Miro for several years include:
* Finding old boards can be difficult, especially as teams and working groups shift or reorganize.
* Overloaded boards created by power users can feel overwhelming without a clear talk track or someone to guide you through them. Because Miro is essentially endless and boundary-less, it offers few natural guardrails to nudge users toward organizing or structuring their work in a way that makes sense for collaborators or consumers of the project.
* Integrations (for example with Jira) occasionally change in ways that aren’t well-communicated, which can disrupt workflows at critical moments, like during sprint planning.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro makes it easy to bring people together in one visual space, no matter their location, so we can quickly get on the same page.
Everything we need lives in a single canvas. That makes projects move faster and keeps collaboration smoother.
It’s also much easier to run workshops, retros, or planning sessions without being tied to a physical whiteboard, and we have a born-digital artifact of the meeting to refer back to after the fact.
Miro is flexible, which means we use it for a wide range of needs, negating the need to switch between multiple tools.

Best tool for instant and remote collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Miro makes it incredibly easy for instant collaboration for remote teams. We are able to work seamlessly together and see updates in real time. It has made "white boarding" for our remote teams to work together across the globe. You can follow where someone is working immediately when you locate their name. Miro allows you to be both zoomed in on specific work as well as zoomed out to see the bigger picture. We used this for pre-production for getting ideas down on paper, as well as post mortems for teams to share knownledge from all departments. It has helped eliminate chat messages, emails, and opened opportunities for all teams to feel included in the process and have their voices heard and shared to everyone on the team.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can get a little overwhelming if the board starts to get too big, but that is a problem of our own internal workflow, not of miro specifically.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration from remote teams across the world to jump in and see things in real time. It allows us to work quickly and eliminate both meetings, emails and chats to getting all the information from all teams together in 1 place quickly and easily.
Efficient Collaboration Tool with Room for UX Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate Miro's intuitive setup, making it straightforward to use, despite some initial challenges in discovering all functionalities. Collaborative work is seamless with Miro, enabling efficient teamwork while working remotely. The ready-made templates are particularly valuable, significantly speeding up my workflow.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't always love the user interface of Miro; it feels less inviting compared to FigJam. Even though I found a way to remove the dots from the background, making the experience slightly better, it's still challenging to integrate Miro with Figma effectively, which is crucial since we primarily use Figma.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro facilitates collaborative work, allowing my remote team to coordinate efficiently on the same board, and its templates speed up our work by providing ready-to-use frameworks for various sessions.
Miro supports asynch workshops
What do you like best about the product?
I find that Miro is useful for facilitating flow-based thinking and for bringing together various types of information. Unlike Confluence or some other software tools, it doesn't impose as many strict structures, which I appreciate.
What do you dislike about the product?
Also based on the lack of structure, it is easy for Miro's to become a mess. Information can be scattered and it is hard to know what is the source of truth. Governance and rules are hard to enforce on the company.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mainly digital white boarding and diagramming.
A great collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
The online whiteboard is excellent and use friendly tool to use in workshop and team meetings. I particular like that the boards can be made very interactive and colourful with spinning wheels, clock & music etc so each board can be adapted to a specific needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes a while to get to used and to know where all the features are in order to create a board. But there is lot of helpful hits & tips on the Miro website so it can be easily self-taught everything.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro helps us to implement our training course.
