Useful for collaborative and interactive tutoring lessons
What do you like best about the product?
I use Miro for tutoring, and I think it's super helpful for developing interactive lesson plans for students. Being able to work on the same board and allow students to mark up questions using the pen and highlighter tools provides me with a lot of insight into their thought processes and helps us work collaboratively towards breaking down and answering questions and refining approaches.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm honestly unsure. The only negative experience I've had with Miro was the site not working during the AWS outage, but obviously I don't blame the site for that event. I admittedly don't use Miro for a terribly wide range of functions, but it serves the function I use it for rather well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's solving the problem of finding a space to break down questions visually and collaboratively with students, which serves me in my work as a tutor.

Miro: A Versatile Canvas for Creative Projects
What do you like best about the product?
I truly appreciate how Miro simplifies my workflow, especially in visualizing development work, which makes it easier for my team to plan and collaborate. The ability to maintain an array of topics on the same board without disrupting other sections is incredibly beneficial. I find Miro's intuitive interface commendable; while learning all the functionalities might have a learning curve, spending time with it opens up a world of possibilities as much of it feels intuitive. The templates are a great starting point, and the iconography adds clarity to the features. The post-it notes feature is particularly useful, as it allows team members to provide feedback in a manner where everyone knows who it's from. I love how it acts as a blank canvas, empowering users to create any visual guide necessary to support the team’s goals, whether it be enemy behavior trees or story outlines for game development. Miro's seamless integration with tools like Confluence and JIRA significantly improves my workflow by allowing focused Miro board visuals to be displayed without the need for additional windows. Overall, the creativity and flexibility that Miro offers give our task planning more character, setting it apart from more rigid tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
I initially found the learning curve for Miro to be a bit challenging as I was learning all of the functionality that the boards offer. The zoom/scrolling feature confused me at first, as the default setting for the middle button on the mouse was not intuitive for my use, making navigation cumbersome until I adjusted it. I also wish there were more shortcuts available to jump to specific parts of a Miro board more efficiently rather than having to zoom out and zoom back in, which can be time-consuming.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro solves planning issues, making collaboration easier by allowing simultaneous work on the same board without conflicts. It's accessible in real time, intuitive, and supports creative visual guides, aiding developers by simplifying complex information.
Versatile, Collaborative, and Perfect for Small Teams
What do you like best about the product?
Miro’s flexibility is one of its greatest strengths. The boards are incredibly versatile, allowing multiple people to contribute and collaborate in real time. Our company uses it as a simple project tracker that we project in our studio space. If anyone has a question about the status of their project, it's readily available to them. So, essentially, we use Miro every day. I also really appreciate that the free version includes enough functionality for small teams like ours to use it effectively without having to immediately upgrade to a paid plan. It’s a great way to get started with collaborative whiteboarding.
What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest drawback I’ve experienced with the free version is how sharing works. When I tried to share a board with an external client, it gave access to all of our team’s content instead of just the one board. I had to quickly revoke access, which was frustrating. It would be much better if selective sharing (the ability to share individual boards without exposing the entire workspace) was available even in the free version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro helps keep our project statuses easily accessible for everyone. We use Wrike as our primary project management software, but have found there is not a good way to see projects at a glance. Miro allows us to update the team on our projects in real time and in one place so they don't have to search for the particular project.
We also use Miro for brainstorming and mind-mapping on complex projects. My company does a weekly brainstorm, where the entire team comes together on Thursday to contribute their ideas to a new project. Miro is a great space to organize and categorize all of those thoughts.

Great all-around tool for visual collaboration and client work
What do you like best about the product?
I love how intuitive and easy to use Miro is. It makes collaboration feel seamless, whether it’s brainstorming, building workflows, or mapping out complex processes. The customization options are great, allowing you to create and adapt boards for a wide range of purposes, from quick mind maps to detailed process documentation. It’s one of those tools that makes teamwork genuinely more productive and enjoyable. Miro helps me bring structure and clarity to complex projects, both internally and with clients. I use it to build mindmaps, workflows, and process maps that make it easy for teams to visualize how everything connects. Because a big part of my work involves presenting solutions and walking customers through proposed designs, Miro makes that process pretty easy. I can quickly turn ideas into something visual and collaborative. It’s especially useful for planning across departments or client accounts, where I can share boards, gather feedback in real time, and refine solutions on the spot.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the import options were more flexible. It’d be great to bring in external data, like CSVs or spreadsheets, in order to automatically build mindmaps or process maps instead of having to recreate everything manually. I’ve also noticed that once boards get large or have a lot of collaborators, performance can slow down a bit. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it does make working on complex project boards more of a handoff rather than a real-time collab. Overall, these aren’t huge issues, but they’d make an already great tool even more powerful and efficient to use day to day.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro to define and improve client processes, and it’s become one of my go to tools for visual collaboration. A lot of my work involves mapping out CRM designs, building customer journey flows, and creating or refining data models. Before Miro, keeping everything aligned across different teams and clients was a task of its own. Diagrams and brain dumps would live in separate files/drives, and feedback loops dragged on forever. With this tool, I can pull everything into a single board, walk clients through proposed solutions in real time, and make changes on the spot. It’s so much easier for everyone.
Effortless Collaboration and Instant Mark-Ups for Architects
What do you like best about the product?
As architects, our work relies on a lot of graphics and visual imagery. I like being able to collaborate with team members without searching through folders for the right image or file, and being able to share mark-ups right away.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be easier if annotation tools were more like other software in our workflow (i.e., Bluebeam Revu or Adobe) so that it'd be less confusing switching back and forth between programs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro is proving helpful for internal team meetings during programming and early design stages.
Easy and useful visualizations, but the zoom can be confusing
What do you like best about the product?
I find it very easy to create different visualizations. It is possible to add slides, figures, or even post-its, which makes it especially useful for brainstorming sessions.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not convinced by the zoom in and zoom out function, as being practically unlimited, I find it difficult to determine the size I want. Additionally, it's very easy to lose sight of important elements.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is considerably easier and more intuitive to use than PowerPoint and other tools for creating visualizations.
Visual Process Creation Makes Complex Ideas Simple
What do you like best about the product?
the ability to create processes and explain things in a visual way
What do you dislike about the product?

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
explaining difficult process in a visual way and working as source of thruth
Great Collaboration and Tools, But User Management Needs Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
The ability for users to collaborate as visitors and subscribers is our most important criteria.
Variety of connections and tools
Project management features, such as assignments, tagging, deadlines, etc.
Variety of templates
Most of the features are intuitive for everyone

What do you dislike about the product?
Managing users is tedious. (To access boards, visitors are always confused and request to join our organization's paid subscription rather than collaborate as visitors, even after we've given them directions.)
The calendar template options are very difficult to follow. It is hard to zoom out (sometimes impossible), making it difficult to track a yearlong calendar.
We'd love to have the ability to share parts of a board with users and keep other parts inaccessible/unviewable. When we bring in outside vendors to review our criteria, we love using Miro but having to create individual boards for their tasks, when it all falls under one project, makes it difficult to keep track of who is looking at what.

It allows our global team to collaborate quickly and easily, both with internal employees and external partners
We are able to build out planning documentation that creates clean and clear visuals directing the goals, objectives and deliverables of our projects
We are able to better brainstorm ideas and have an easier place to manage, edit and follow-up on them (in comparison, we have teams who still use physical white boards they have to photograph and then recreate or forget about because they aren't living documents)
We were able to hone in and find our problems and opportunities thanks to the ability to create a visualization of the current landscape and our goals. The ability to add links, spreadsheets, images, and other documents as reference materials has been critical. And this all works within the confines of our security team whereas sharing several files in folders was never feasible.
We built our entire website visual in miro and increased the efficiency of planning on a long, robust project.
I wish we could have multiple boards visual in one web tab! We reference our planning timeline and our content calendar together, but because of the templates, they are in different boards requiring us to have more tabs open to switch between.
