Fantastic for Collaboration, Room for Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
I love using Miro primarily for user research planning and workshops because it facilitates collaboration among multiple stakeholders. Its flexibility makes it preferable over tools like Google Draw, and it offers many useful features such as iframe embeds, bulk note-taking, and a new slide deck creator. The Miroverse and forums have been invaluable resources. I appreciate its ability to ease remote workshops and collaborations, serving as an effective communication tool. The ease of collaboration and quick documentation capabilities are compelling aspects of Miro.
What do you dislike about the product?
I experienced challenges with understanding the limits and capabilities of Miro, particularly around sizing and dimensions. Initially, there were issues with glitching boards that resulted in lost work, necessitating the start of new projects. The tool was quite buggy in the beginning. Additionally, the bulk resizing feature has limitations, as the text doesn't seem to adjust in size accordingly. I would also prefer a more dynamic resizing ability, a feature to set board and text sizes, and clearer, customizable tool or setting side panels.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I find Miro facilitates remote workshops and collaborations, serving as an effective communication tool. It offers ease of collaboration and quick documentation abilities, crucial for user research planning and involving multiple stakeholders.

Great Tool For Product Development Teams
What do you like best about the product?
The collaborative nature of Mira is hugely beneficial for brainstorming sessions, risk analysis, ideation, and many other processes that are part of our new product development process. The interface has proven to be easy to understand and we rarley have issues getting a new user up and running within a few minutes. It has made the above mentioned meetings and others so much more effective in a time when so many of our team members are working remotely.
I also find the myriad of templates incredibly helpful and useful for getting started.

What do you dislike about the product?
Could use more ability to export to other formats. e.g. post-its to Excel. Better integration with SharePoint would also be very beneficial to my team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With so many people working remotely, Miro provides a way for all meeting attendees to actively participate. Without a real-time, collaborative workspace, many tema members tend to just sit and watch a screen share or do other, unrelated work. With Miro's real-time interface, it fosters more active participation since there is no lag and users have no excuse to not participate.

Great for white boarding ideas on the team, struggling to integrate to real world uses
What do you like best about the product?
Love the real time team capabilties - we can be in a conference call and watching each other edit content without delay or version control issues. The interface is very intuitive and user friendly.
What do you dislike about the product?
We've often wanted to translate our Miro boards to web design or graphics to include, for example, in emails, and we end up recreating / translating the Miro boards to Canva, Adobe XD, google slides, etc. in what feels like an unnecessarily clunky process. Tables are a great example; it would be super helpful to have table design be able to tranlate from excel or google spreadsheet to Miro.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Non-linear ideas can be communicated to a team and collaborative input is incredibly easy
Miro makes meetings more collaborative
What do you like best about the product?
Miro has a mirade of tools that make meetings more collaborative and engaging while also making the take aways easily sharable. All of the fun of whiteboarding without all of the hassle of trying to document the session.
What do you dislike about the product?
My only real complaint is that it can be a challenge to consolidate multiple accounts. So if possible, setup a corporate account before bottom up growth makes consolidation difficult.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro has all of the flexibility needed for complex cross team collaboration.
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
