Perfect for Remote Team Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
I use Miro for brainstorming, mapping out projects and roadmaps, results tracking from user interviews, retros, and collaboration with teammates in workshops. It's great for so many things! I find Miro perfect for easy remote collaboration, as it provides a fast way to lay down ideas and thoughts. I like that it's easy to use, has so many great features, and is nicely designed. Tools like Miro help make working seamlessly together as a remote team possible and even enjoyable.
What do you dislike about the product?
There genuinely isn’t anything I dislike about Miro. It remains one of my favourite remote tools for over the past 6+ years.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro for easy remote collaboration, quickly laying down ideas, and collaborating with team members. It's perfect for brainstorming, project mapping, and results tracking, making teamwork enjoyable.
Interactive and seamless collaboration with great built in templates
What do you like best about the product?
I like how interactive it is. As a virtual training producer, my favorite feature is the timer which allows our students in their breakout rooms to have a sense of the time and the fact that i can change that from out end is great. I also like that so many people can work seamlessly together and there has never been any issues with performance. I also like that i can insert design elements and use the templates and the AI feature to enhance my boards.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't lock the boards locations without locking the whole board. So sometimes I want the boards to stay in place while students can edit and work on them but right now that is not possible so it makes it a bit hard at times because students end up moving boards round accidently.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's helping virtual trainings, engagement sessions and other external and internal meetings become more engaging. We used to use Google jamboards and after they discontinued, we needed to pivot and Miro has been a great replacement which is better in a lot of ways.
Essential Tool for Product Management & Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
I find Miro incredibly useful for product management and design thinking. It's great for brainstorming, customer journey mapping, and gathering ideas, which makes it easier to synthesize and align them. Miro is surprisingly good for both internal and external validation, though it's better at internal alignment and collaborative information synthesis. I appreciate the small, delightful experiences it offers, especially the ability to copy sticky notes into a tabular format and then pull them back out, which respects that not everything starts in Miro. The tool makes bringing information in and out easy, which is really valuable.
What do you dislike about the product?
AI sidekick is garbage.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro for product management to solve the whiteboarding problem. It's easy to bring people into a shared space for brainstorming, making idea collection low friction and intuitive. It improves internal alignment and collaborative management throughout the development process.
Miro Makes SEO Workflows and PRDs Easy to Align Visually
What do you like best about the product?
Miro makes it easy to map SEO workflows, site architecture, and PRDs visually. It helps align teams quickly without long docs or back and forth.
What do you dislike about the product?
Boards get cluttered fast on large SEO projects and performance slows with heavy use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro helps me turn complex SEO ideas into clear visual flows that teams can understand quickly. It speeds up planning and reduces miscommunication during execution.
Miro Templates Make It Easy to Get Started and Keep Everything in One Place
What do you like best about the product?
Honestly, i think the template aspect has been the most valuable part of using Miro. The last time i worked an extended shift, i wasn’t going to start building every single layout for our board from scratch. Being able to pick a layout and then just begin was something i didn’t realize i needed until i had it. Everything we’re working on exists in one place - including links, images, videos, comments from other people and you can either share the entire board with someone or a specific section. As it turns out being able to direct multiple people to different areas of the same board is huge.
What do you dislike about the product?
I love the number of options available as much as i hate the fact that there are so many options. At some point the flexibility of Miro becomes a problem because you spend too much time trying to decide how to arrange your setup versus simply arranging your setup. And (this may be a minor complaint) the boards can become visually cluttered quickly if more than a few users are inputting content at the same time; i’m not aware of any method to clear the board of content in less than individual item-by-item movement.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
So the main thing for me is that not everybody wants to speak in front of others in a group setting, and Miro provides a space for those individuals to offer input/contribute without having to “perform.” shy individuals will make posts; individuals that tend to ramble will make posts; and everyone’s thoughts/ideas are displayed simultaneously rather than only hearing what the loudest voice in the room is saying. It also replaces the whiteboard that would get erased anyhow… why throw away the information you’ve already created when you could maintain access to it later?
Intuitive interface, excellent integration, and fast and reliable performance
What do you like best about the product?
The most useful aspect is its interface, as it allows the tool to be used intuitively with a short learning curve. The integration with other tools is an excellent way to maintain the connection between different platforms, allowing for traceability of what is done on it. Its performance is excellent: it is fast and reliable.
I would dare to pay for a better experience; I consider its price to be accessible and, as it is a very useful tool in many ways, there would be a return on that investment in what is managed daily. I have not yet had experience with support because the tool has not required it.
The incorporation of AI helps to perform some tasks more quickly that can be repetitive, such as generating dashboards. In general, it is a very useful tool.

What do you dislike about the product?
Actually, I don't have a bad opinion or anything in particular that I don't like. Both the free version and the paid one seem very good to me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Increase in productivity: The time spent on explanatory meetings is reduced, as the board functions as a "single source of truth."
Better decision-making: By clearly visualizing the data and dependencies of a project, it becomes easier to quickly identify risks and opportunities.
Frictionless creativity: It allows for rapid iteration of ideas without worrying about the format, facilitating more natural and less rigid collaboration.
Time savings in documentation: Everything worked on during the session is documented and ready to be shared, eliminating the need to transcribe notes after the meeting.

Facilitate Collaboration in Diverse Teams
What do you like best about the product?
I like the creativity in the pre-designed templates and the community collaboration with shared creator templates, both free public ones and some that are very affordable. Additionally, Miro helps me integrate teams in different scenarios—onsite, remote, and hybrid—allowing interaction without issues regardless of locations. I found the initial setup very simple and user-friendly; it is intuitive in at least 80% of the functionalities, then it depends on individual creativity.
What do you dislike about the product?
They could improve the design of some objects to have a modern and fresh presentation or image.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro helps me integrate teams in in-person, remote, and hybrid settings, facilitating interaction regardless of their location.
Miro Makes Remote Brainstorms Effortless with an Infinite Canvas
What do you like best about the product?
The whole “infinite canvas” idea sounds gimmicky until you’re in the middle of a messy brainstorm and realize you’ve never once hit a wall. That’s probably my favorite part: I can dump everything out of my head without worrying about space or forcing a structure too early.
For remote workshops, it’s been a lifesaver. I run design sprints with teams across different time zones, and Miro handles the chaos pretty well. The sticky notes, voting, and timer features also mean I’m not constantly screen-sharing and pointing at things like an idiot. I use it on a weekly basis.
The integrations with Figma and Jira are decent—not perfect, but good enough that I’m not copy-pasting screenshots every five minutes. The Figma embed, in particular, is something I end up using almost weekly.
Where it starts to wobble is when boards get really large. Performance takes a hit, and sometimes collaborators (especially non-designers) get genuinely lost trying to navigate. I’ve had clients message me asking, “Wait, where am I on this thing?” So the learning curve isn’t zero, especially for people who aren’t used to spatial-thinking tools.
As for customer support, I honestly haven’t needed it much, which is probably the best thing you can say. Setup was straightforward—I had my team onboarded in maybe an afternoon.

What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing is the first thing that comes to mind. The moment you actually need the features that make Miro worth using—unlimited boards, advanced integrations, proper guest access—you suddenly end up on a plan that feels steep, especially if you’re freelancing or managing a small team. The free tier also feels almost deliberately frustrating, like they want you to hit the ceiling as fast as possible.
Performance on complex boards is genuinely annoying. I have a few boards that have grown over months of project work, and they just… lag. Scrolling gets choppy, and loading takes longer than it should. On a decent MacBook, that really shouldn’t be happening.
The template library is a mixed bag. There are hundreds of templates, but honestly, a lot of them feel like filler. Finding something that’s actually useful can take longer than just building it from scratch, which kind of defeats the point.
One thing that low-key bothers me is that text editing in Miro is still surprisingly clunky. For a tool that designers use heavily, formatting text boxes feels like an afterthought. I shouldn’t have to fight alignment this much in 2024.
Guest/visitor permissions can also get confusing. I’ve had clients accidentally move things around when they were only supposed to be commenting. Setting up the right access levels isn’t always intuitive, and I’ve made mistakes with it more than once.
It’s not a dealbreaker by any means—I still use it constantly. But sometimes it feels like they’re focused on adding new features before fixing the fundamentals that are already there. Classic SaaS problem, honestly.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest benefit for me is keeping distributed teams on the same page visually. I work with people in different locations, and before Miro there was a lot of “let me screenshare” or emailing Figma screenshots back and forth, which was a mess.
Now I can run a workshop or a design review asynchronously, and people can actually react to things, leave comments, and move stuff around. It often feels more collaborative than a Zoom call.
It’s also replaced a bunch of random tools for me. Whiteboards, basic flowcharts, brainstorming docs—those things all live in Miro now instead of being scattered across four different apps. It’s not a perfect consolidation, but it’s good enough that it’s simplified my workflow in a noticeable way.
The time savings during early project phases are real. Getting alignment from stakeholders used to take multiple rounds of back-and-forth. With a shared Miro board, that gets cut down because people can see the thinking laid out spatially, and it clicks faster for them.

Empowers Collaboration with Flexible Integration
What do you like best about the product?
I use Miro for facilitating trainings, coaching sessions, and team artifacts as an organizational coach and Scrum Master. I really like that Miro allows multiple people to work together simultaneously without dictating how they work. The base feature set is powerful and accessible, yet it has a depth of features available for more complex use cases. I like the kanban board and Jira integration as it allows Miro to be a viable actor in companies that mandate tools like Jira. The initial setup of Miro for my team was very easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Board visibility and sharing is often convoluted to find and set. The board settings UX could be streamlined.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro encourages collaboration by allowing multiple people to work together without limiting how they do it, offering powerful yet accessible features for complex use cases.
Quick, Easy Whiteboarding That Makes Remote Brainstorming Simple
What do you like best about the product?
Quick and easy tool to pull up and "whiteboard" with my team. With my team working fully remove, as software engineers, we really miss the days of having whiteboards in every meeting room. Now it's easy to brainstorm and share ideas.
What do you dislike about the product?
Personally, I clunk around some of the available squares to just do quick concepts. But that's a personal learning curve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Virtual Whiteboarding. Huge for remote work and sharing ideas.
