Simply indispensable
What do you like best about the product?
Whether I'm collaborating in realtime with colleagues or working solo, it is my go-to tool when I need to think critically through a problem.
The amount of templates are staggering and are super-useful to hit the ground running right away and they're adding to them all the time.
Most importantly though, the tool is incredibly easy to use and for a product that requires an internet connection, I'm impressed as it really feels like you're using an offline tool even when collaborating with others remotely!

What do you dislike about the product?
The app can be a little flaky at times, but it's improving. What's really encouraging though is how frequently the product is updated. The folks at Miro are clearly listening to and learning from their users.
I'd also like to see more choices of shapes (eg. not many arrow types) though I can understand them wanting to avoid turning the product into bloat-ware, it's a tradeoff.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've solved a productivity problem and improved my written communication too as a result. I'm not anti-powerpoint, but with Miro I'm only restricted by my creativity. The tool lets me get on with what I need to do. I've previously always reverted to pen and paper or a whiteboard to think. Miro is the first tool where I haven't done that.
Further, there's nothing more empowering than a big blank canvas and a bunch of tools to do whatever it is that you need to do.

More than a whiteboard
What do you like best about the product?
For years taking notes on paper or stickies was fruitless. They would either get lost in the shuffle or I couldn't easily make meaningful connections to content days or weeks later. I love that Miro allows me to collect & reorganize my thoughts & information in a way that is meaningful to me. Miro has become an absolute staple in my personal & professional life.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would love some basic drawing tools, like InVision Freehand. The shapes tools are nice, but I prefer working on a drawing tablet/iPad, & drawing is an intuitive way for me to work. Drawing also communicates the "roughness" of a concept, which can be very beneficial in my line of work.
I wish there were more repeatable elements (ie; the ability to create symbols).
Tags are also a place of untapped potential. I have a hard time using the Kanban boards etc in any extensive way because the tags seem largely ornamental.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration & Organization. As a long time Mural user (I still have to use Mural at work) I find that Miro is far more intuitive, fluid, & flexible. I'm using it to share work with friends & peers, get feedback on work, map experiences, collect ideas & notes, make connections to notes & thoughts from months ago.
Everyone should use Miro!

Most of our business problems we workshop and ideate with miro. we use it for visualizing complex flows and processes for better communication and transparency across the company
Miro is an excellent tool for online collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Miro makes it easy to facilitate a workshop with a large number of people. It works seamlessly without lag with collaborators on the board and provides many ways for collaborators to follow along and get creative with contributions. I really liked the ability to integrate my presentation slides directly into Miro and be able to navigate between frames very easily. I also like the ability to be able to track anyone on the board or direct them to where I am on the board when talking about specific items. I can see this becoming very useful as well as we learn how to integrate our other tools with it, such as Jira. Miro has quickly become our go-to tool for all things collaboration. In some ways, I can see it become even more efficient with brainstorming than physically being in the same room with everyone. Also being able to see what has changed on the board since the last session has also been helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some suggestions for improvement: It would be great to be able to turn off the ability to draw arrows to connect between objects. I have often accidentally dragged out arrows from sticky notes when I simply wanted to move them around. I also struggled with dot voting in the past because I would prepare the dots beforea workshop, but as participants placed down sticky notes and it came to voting, participants would take a dot and try to put it on top of a sticky note, but because the sticky notes were created after the dots, the dots would automatically be hidden underneath the sticky notes. I know I can circumvent this by just properly using the voting tool, so it's not a big deal. I simply wasn't aware that would be the behavior at the time and ran into that snag during the workshop.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest problem Miro is solving for us is the ability to collaborate and brainstorm with our teams while being remote. We have slowly been exploring the many features Miro offers and have found that it can be very easy to communicate things to our teammates by copying screens in our browser or web apps and pasting them into the Miro board. This is how we were able to quickly identify UI elements in our organization's existing products and compile them together on the Miro board.
Miro has come at the right place at the right time for helping our remote teams develop effectively
What do you like best about the product?
We like how it updates love on the board as users edit and create designs. I love how easy it is to use. It works exactly like how you expect it to work. I like its click and drag feature functionality. The snapping mechanism also works wonders and works better than any other tool I have used!
What do you dislike about the product?
I want to alt-tab to other boards easier. Short cuts, please! I think there are many ways to mature this platform, like zoning areas, so that when you drop a ticket in a location, automated actions activate on it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can create workflows and wireframes of complex applications live and together in 5 separate rooms. Miro is extremely valuable for a remote workforce and can cut "design doc" sprawl down since you can keep everything in one place.
Miro has also helped us create a complex workflow for automating federal infrastructure and reduce a manual process into a button press solution.
Miro has helped with road mapping Program Increments for Software Development and tracks feedback and ownership.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is much better than Mural. Mural is clunky, slow, and non-intuitive. Miro blows it out of the water by empowering users with precise controls and better UI. If you have remote engineers, this is a must-have for collaborative working.

Visual Management to support Digital Transformation
What do you like best about the product?
Miro gives me infinite possibilities and tools to conduct quality meetings, where visual management is making a total difference in the digital transformation movement we are going through
What do you dislike about the product?
How an "https://miro.com/app/dashboard/" is organized. The structure we have to use Miro is not by teams, with that, some users find it difficult to find frames of ongoing initiatives
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visual management. Give me tools to create any type of board, according to the needs of each situation
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Create your own templates based on those available in the community
Multi-purpose platform that keeps getting better
What do you like best about the product?
I like how versatile it is, how easy it is to use for Retrospective with one team, User Journey map with another team, and just any kind of logic mind maps that one might need when visualizing. In the current times of working from home this is invaluable. Plus I love that platform just keeps getting better, providing integrations with other services to create eco system.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike 2 things:
1. Paid plans. I don't mind paying, but in my specific case (am a Scrum Master in an IT company, working with roughly 25 people) 90% of my colleagues use Miro only twice a month - when we have Retro. It makes no sense for me to pay for that many people on a subscription basis if they just use it twice a month. I would love a plan where I can pay to have more boards, but will not have to pay for every single team member. Maybe a fixed amount to add more boards? e.g. $25 to add another board or something. For now I just stick to my free plan because it has unlimited users. Doesn't make much sense that once I start paying users become limited. Again - not against paying at all, just need a more flexible model
2. Not my complaint but a lot of my team members are unhappy that every time they go to Miro (once in 2 weeks) they have to sign in again AND they are showered with an update popup. Maybe give an option to not see those notifications as popups and just have them on the background.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using Miro as a convenient cloud solution for Retrospectives with my IT teams, and recently for user journey maps and even some design mockups when we're discussing designs on the call. It helps that the board is unlimited, so I keep all retros in one place and can very fast see what we wrote in previous ones without switching documents, etc. It also allows for some creativity as you can easily post gifs, pics and emojis which helps lighten the mood.

How to collaborate remotely and organically, like you're in the room
The digital whiteboard for everything
What do you like best about the product?
Miro provides in the digital world what a large wall in a physical workshop room used to do: it's the space for everyone to collaborate, create, organize, structure, visualize. I even use it for my brainstorming and organization, which came to me as a surprise. And even better than a natural wall, it is infinite and provides numerous ways to add elements. Plus, there are some useful features like a timer and voting capabilities built-in.
What do you dislike about the product?
Depending on your use case, it's not cheap. And some companies are not willing to use it due to GDPR and data security concerns - I'm not sure how much this is an issue with Miro, but it can make working with Miro in a client's company impossible.
