I've used many diagramming tools. I find Miro the most user friendly
What do you like best about the product?
There are two main draws for Miro for me - the ease of use and the design language. The ease of use of Miro has been instrumental in creating architecture diagrams, charts, and other assets that are critical in my role. Adding new components and editing them is fast. Moving around the board is also very intuitive, with a left click to select and right click to pan. I rarely have to fight Miro to get it to do what I want to do, which I can't say for other diagramming tools.
The second draw is the design language. It looks good out of the box, which enables me to create presentable, customer facing boards without doing too much work. Navigating around the UI is also very pleasant.This is really critical because the learning curve is very shallow.

What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest pain point with Miro for me is the Text box component. I have to always fight it to get it to work. Resizing is not easy, and changes the font size of the box by default. And the lack of markdown support makes formatting any block of text very manual. Text is a large part of diagramming so it'd be great to see an improvement on this component.
A second pain point is that the set of icons that are available out of the box are very limited and basic. I can get more via adding integrations, but that process is not seamless in my opinion - I haven't been able to truly get it to work and it's unclear if I add an icon pack if it adds it just for me or the whole workspace. It would be great if more icons that are commonly used are available by default, similar to how One Model does it.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a Solutions Architect, I create architecture diagrams, process flow diagrams, and lifecycle diagrams routinely. These need to be collaborated on internally and also shared externally to customers. A tool like Miro is critical to create these diagrams, and collaborating and sharing these is made possible with Miro's acces controls.
A powerful, but sometimes overwhelming tool
What do you like best about the product?
I've been using Miro for a while and it's definitely a solid tool for collaboration. It’s super versatile, with lots of templates, easy integration with other software, and a simple interface. It’s great for brainstorming and team projects, especially for remote teams since everyone can work on the board at the same time.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a bit overwhelming at first with all its features, and the free version is quite limited.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro has been super helpful for me in tackling remote collaboration. I’ve used it for mind maps, project planning, and even building ER schemas. It’s great for working with colleagues in real-time, letting us organize ideas, share feedback, and keep everything on track. It’s definitely made team projects smoother and saved a lot of time.
Easy collaboration for remote teams
What do you like best about the product?
As a designer who loves to use a whiteboard to think and process ideas, Miro has been excellent. While working with my remote team, I will regularly spin up a new Miro board to start sketching out designs, drawing up the user workflows, organizing research insights, and more. We keep our whole org chart in a Miro, so it's easy for everyone to access and understand the shape of the org. Over the holidays, we created some templates so we could use Miro to play board games virtually, and it was so fun! Honestly, I wouldn't get through the week without it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Miro can be fickle when it comes to user permissions. When anyone creates a new board for a group, we always have to ask everyone "Do you all have access?" If they don't, it can be a pain to track down the right place to invite users to edit the board. I wish they would use a simpler permissions system similar to Google Drive, where you can just look up anyone in your org by name and add them directly to the board. No need to go find the list of people in the project and add them to it by their email address.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Analyzing user research insights and customer feedback. Miro serves as a great place to create affinity maps and see what themes emerge. It feels a lot more natural to move things around as opposed to working in spreadsheets
- Customer journey maps. Whenever we have a big journey map, the easiest place to create it is in Miro. Mutliple people across departments can easily view and edit, so it always stays up to date and relevant. And there is no constraint on how big the map can get, because people can always pan around and zoom in on details
- Simple whiteboard. The most common use case we have is to just pull up an empty board and start putting ideas on it. They may start as small as a few sticky notes to represent the phases of a user workflow, but they will regularly grow to include all sorts of details. The open-ended nature of a whiteboard makes it easy for the mind to explore

An excellent tool for collaboration and project progress tracking
What do you like best about the product?
We use Miro to establish schedules, keep a record of progress on projects, and collaborate on presentations
What do you dislike about the product?
Drawing in Miro is clunky and could be made more useful for scale drawing (see Morpholio Trace for example)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro creates a virtual pin up space that is accessible at all times and from diverse locations. It allows us to archive documents, photos, drawings and progress from earlier in the project - as well as organize presentations for the present.
Director - Strategy
What do you like best about the product?
I have been a user of Miro for over 1 0 years - I have used Miro on multiple projects and have used a lot of templates that you have. I like Miro because of
1. Ability to share the document with the client with ease and also collaborate with them very easily.
2. Ease of use - We can create mindmaps, process documents, conduct workshops, etc. the capability and the ease of use sets Miro apart
3.Number of users - Its ability for a number of collaborators to work on a common issue

What do you dislike about the product?
From a corporation perspective - MIro is an external application and sensitive data can be moved out of the coroporate network since the application can be accessed from a personal laptop or personal account.
Ability to print to pdf - I recently had a large project and it was very hard to print it off into a pdf to share with the client. May be I have the free license and I assume that the ability will be enhanced with a subscription service.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ease of use, provides a collaborative space with proven data security standards, and mind mapping techniques - are the top benefits I am reaping from MIro.
The perfect canvas for team work, you can adapt it to all purposes
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is very complete regarding how much flexibility it allows you to use. It provides you with many tools that you can adapt to your workflow as you please. It's perfect for team brainstorming ideas or even work sharing with clients.
What do you dislike about the product?
The snap grid system is very helpful but can be improved. I sometimes struggle to align elements when they are not the same size (e.g., text with images, shapes with text, etc.).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
sync feauture of Miro - mirroring boards to others is very useful for our workflow - con right now is that the copied board can only be visible to users that are invited to the mother-canvas
Go to canvas tool
What do you like best about the product?
Excellent tool for collaboratively capturing ideas on the fly then subsequently organising them eg laying out post-its or pulling AI generated summaries.
Large range of templates with clear instructions and worked examples.

What do you dislike about the product?
Formatting individual irems of text in text boxes. You can do some things like apply bullets to selected paragraphs but not others eg if you increase font size for one piece of text, all text is increased.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visibility of work in progress. Rather than offering stakeholders access to a folder of docs and spreadsheets, I can give then access to a canvas where everything is visible; which, if required, can link through to individual files (when it is more appropriate to have them as docs or sheets). Though, of course, often this isn't necessary as the info is in the canvas, or, otherwise I have started the new generate a doc within Miro feature.
Very good app to help your workflow
What do you like best about the product?
Simultaneous collaboration, teamwork, easy reviews and brainstorming. Easy access to other team members work
What do you dislike about the product?
Slow when the wall gets too big. Slow loading images. Some image formats not supported.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
brainsotrming made easy and digital. Accessible from anywhere
Great tool for collaboration and digital workshops
What do you like best about the product?
Great tool to collaborate with a remote team and run retros, workshops, brainstorming sessions.
What do you dislike about the product?
The sizing of the items on the vast canvas is often different depending on who builds the frames with content. There is still some formatting to be done every time you work with Miro to make it presentable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a team to usually works and collaborates remotely. This is where we document customer feedback, structure and prioritize it. We are even using Miro for on-site workshops as the tool allows for easy summarizing.
MIRO - The fast moving collaboration tool for all types of teams.
What do you like best about the product?
I like the different - easy and accessible templates that can be used to save time in the 'preparation required' to setup a session for my teams.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some features like voting and collaboration with many team members starts to become buggy when the number of people increases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MIRO makes it easy to work with virtual teams in real time. It also takes off the overhead to work out the tools required to do different activities and merges it into one platform. additionally, it makes it very easy to draw, make notes and then even summarize the meeting.
