What do you like best about the product?
ease of use and features, can be exported as different format
What do you dislike about the product?
should be open source and should have more graphics
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
architecture diagram and flow charts
Pretty decent, best for real-time collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Miro makes it super easy to grab the right shapes, stickies, and lines with helpful guiding lines and snap to grid-like support to create visualizations that aren't super haphazard. I love watching multiple users zooming around a board as they contribute to the questions posed to them - it really highlights the best way to collaborate with team members.
What do you dislike about the product?
The value stream mapping toolsets aren't as robust as it should be for Lean/Toyota Production based experts. They could really be improved, but we make do with what is provided. I also wish it would have some capability to download the data that is usable, not just as a flat PDF, but something like a .csv file that allows us to organize the brainstorming inputs that are provided.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps us with literal problem framing and problem solving, from root cause analysis to brainstorming and prioritizing the best ideas.
One of the best collaboration tools post-Covid
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is very versatile. As a Product Marketing Manager, I can do a myriad of things on it. I can collaborate on roadmaps, facilitate cross-functional workshops, and participate in working sessions with my distributed team.
When new features are released, I find them easy to use without too much searching or changing my workflow.
I use it about 2-3x a week on average and I like using the "Board updates" section to see if things have changed since I've last been in the board.

What do you dislike about the product?
The Team spaces are a bit difficult to organize in terms of privacy. If I want to share a board with specific people outside my team but save the board in my space, I have to ensure that they don' t have access to the other boards in our team space.
Another thing that I found difficult recently was making sure everyone had the right integration to Google Meet in order to embed the Miro board within the call. I find that there could be better instructions related to the tech setup of these integrations in Google Meet when it prompts you to share directly within it.

Needing to have a workshopped source of truth that is also easy to update, that is visual without resorting to Slides or Docs.
Miro for Software Engineers: A Powerful Collaboration Tool with Room to Improve on Scale
What do you like best about the product?
Miro strikes a balance between ease of use and powerful features. It’s quick to adopt, rich in functionality, and integrates well with the tools in a modern software engineering stack.
The drag-and-drop functionality, real-time collaboration (a boon for remote workers) and infinite canvas make brainstorming and sprint planning seamless. Features like sticky notes and voting are easy to find and use without much training.
From an implementation standpoint, since it's cloud-based and SSO-enabled, it's very easy to use and onboard new people onto it.
I use this tool almost every other day as it has good integration with tools like JIRA, Confluence, which makes it a go-to tool for sprint planning especially when the team is distributed across different geographies. I like to build flow diagrams in MIRO and tag each step of this flow as a work item in JIRA, the smooth integration allows easy tracking how much of the end to end work is done or pending.
Overall, I love this tool, and for now, I never had to reach customer support for any assistance as I find this tool very easy to learn and the UI is very friendly.

What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I find a bit problematic right now is when the board grows in size, Miro can start to feel laggy and resource-heavy which affects loading times and real-time collaboration. Well, this is not a blocker, as we can always split the charts and boards, but sometimes it helps to keep everything as part of one board.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The team is distributed across different geography and working remotely, Miro is a must to collaborate on brainstorming sessions, architecture design sessions and sprint planning. This make things a lot easier both functionally and visually.
Versatile, User-Friendly with Outstanding Collaboration Features
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy Miro's collaboration features, like multiple people typing simultaneously, voting capabilities, and linking parts for pre-reading. Miro's ease of use stands out as it makes creating visual plans feels natural and intuitive. The availability of templates enhances my ability to create diagrams swiftly, aiding in effective storytelling.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find it challenging to organize content within the Miro boards, especially when there is a large amount of information. Searching and structuring content feels hard, and I end up resorting to workarounds like creating separate boards for different tasks. The lack of inbuilt structure to specify the purpose of each board means that content management can become cumbersome. Additionally, while integrating tools like Figma and Confluence, I encounter difficulties in displaying actual items within Miro, which leads to unnecessary navigation and disruption in workflow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro for easy brainstorming, collaboration, and personal task management. It enhances my storytelling and documentation, allowing seamless data uploading and slide creation for presentations. Miro's versatility and collaboration tools improve team interactions and strategic planning.
Use Miro to enhance productivity.
What do you like best about the product?
It offers a wide range of templates and rich functionality.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be even better if object controllability were more flexible.

Enhance productivity and results.
Miro for designing
What do you like best about the product?
We use Miro for different purposes: to conduct our scrum retrospectives, to create high level and low level design diagrams, create sequence diagrams using the Miro templates, for collaboration within the team by involving others. For all these use cases, Miro works excellently for us due to its intuitiveness and ease of use. The flexibility that Miro provides in the whiteboard is great for collaboration.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have the enterprise license for Miro and we use different cloud services, communication channels when writing software. Sometimes I feel that Miro could add more official icons to its library so that we can easily use them in design diagrams. We can still do that by looking them in google and then using directly in Miro whiteboard but in-built collection would be great. For example: include all icons of all services provided by Google Cloud, AWS, Azure and others. Other thing that could be improved is the search feature when looking for the icons and symbols.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ease of use when working with Miro makes it our go to tool for diagramming. We are able to effectively convey our intent and can freestyle at the same time when creating a diagram. We do not feel bounded or constrained when using the application. The export feature works very well without compromising with the clarity of the diagram, and we can use easily them in our confluence pages.
A Must-Have Collaboration Tool for Remote and Hybrid Teams
What do you like best about the product?
I’ve been using Miro for over 4 months now, and honestly, I can’t imagine running workshops or brainstorming sessions without it anymore. As someone who works in tech consulting, I’m constantly collaborating with clients and internal teams across different locations—and Miro has made that process so much smoother.
What I love:
The interface is super intuitive. You don’t need a manual to get started just jump in and start creating.
Real-time collaboration is a game-changer. Whether it’s sprint planning or mapping out a new solution architecture, everyone can contribute at the same time without stepping on each other’s toes.
The templates are a huge time-saver. I’ve used everything from customer journey maps to retrospectives, and they’re all well-designed and customizable.

What do you dislike about the product?
A few things to improve:
When boards get really large, performance can take a hit. It’s not a dealbreaker, but something to be aware of.
Pricing can be a bit steep if you’re scaling across a big team, especially if not everyone uses it regularly.
Navigation can be clunky: Zooming and panning around big boards isn’t always smooth, and it’s easy to get lost.

Visualize complex ideas whether it’s system architecture, user journeys, or project timelines—in a way that’s easy for everyone to understand and contribute to.
Keep momentum going asynchronously, which is huge when working with global teams or clients who aren’t always available at the same time.

Miro Review
What do you like best about the product?
I recently used Miro for one of my clients, I found it user friendly and was able to build the HLD and LLD's for AWS. I also liked the presenter mode of Miro which helps you present architecture diagram interactively with all the participants. I also tried import and export feature and it was really helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Need to refine AI feature, could not get the diagrams as I wished. Tried with multiple prompts but did not create HLD as anticipated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One platform to create various diagrams, it has good integration with other tools so it is easier to import and export without doing the rework.
I liked the collaboration features, it was easier to present the digram, participants can also share add their comments, nice way to collaborate with multiple stakeholders.
