The app that made working from home feel less as working alone
What do you like best about the product?
Miro enabled our teams to collaborate truly, get more out of these dreaded Teams sessions and have fun. Going into lockdown for so long, we gradually lowered our expectations of what we could accomplish in brainstorms, design sprints, retrospectives, and other sessions, where genuinely working together as a team is vital. That is, until some colleagues of another department started these Miro sessions.
I have never seen a more 'aggressive demand to have a tool enabled in our relatively closed ICT environment. In no time, we were using the existing templates for all kinds of meetings and created our own. With lockdown continuing to this day, Miro has been a live saver for productivity, engagement and fun. And after lockdown, it will remain an essential part of our collaboration toolkit.

What do you dislike about the product?
The one thing nagging the most is the strict way Miro disables functionality for guests and ordinary users. We often encountered a meeting where the admin of a board was not present, and there was no way for the participants to e.g. start a timer or use other functionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro is used all over the place. As mentioned, its primary function is to facilitate meetings that have a high collaboration aspect to them. By creating specific templates we also use it for standardized meetings in our scrum workflow, like the retrospective. As a quick thought gathering 'system', we also often use a plain Miro board. The real-world sticky note approach of gathering all the collected info by taking photos of hundreds of sticky notes is also taken care of.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just start playing with it, use some of the templates and see for yourself if it works. I bet you it does :-)
Essential for remote design collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
It's just straight forward to use. It may not be able to replace design workshops in the room, but it's literally the next best thing!
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not a lot to complain about. Maybe a more robust set of icons to add to quicky access but that's not really essential
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Remote co-design workshops. Already tricky in person, however Miro manages this wonderfully. I'm not getting the hand cramps writing notes either!
A flexible collaboration tool to track and communicate ideas
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Miro is intuitive and I'm able to easily communicate my ideas to stakeholders in a fun, interactive and professional way.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really wish that drag-click is to drag select, instead of panning around the canvas. Or if there's a shortcut feature where I could change this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I find that Miro can at times more effectively replace presentation tools like keynote. It feels less rigid, and more of a two way conversation.
Great collaboration and visualization tooll
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is easy to use and helps me to create professional-looking process diagrams that we use with our clients. It also is great in helping me to collaborate with my team.
What do you dislike about the product?
After 30min of inactivity, Miro logs me out, and I need to enter in my login info again to reconnect.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Miro to quickly visualize processes by creating workflow diagrams that we share with our customers. We have used several other programs for this, but Miro is simple and easy to use and creates clean, branded and professional looking diagrams.
I love Miro
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ease of use and online collaboration. It is a tool that allows you to carry out dynamics with many participants in a very simple and organized way.
I also like its versatility, you can design a journey as well as a BMPN.

What do you dislike about the product?
I find the accounts a bit confusing. Now that I have assimilated how it goes I see it as simple, but it was difficult at the beginning when the boards were shared with other people to know where they were located.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The realization of remote dynamics for classes has been very useful for me.
Also, as in my organization, we do not use Figma, having a place to map processes and flows helps us as a team to collaborate.

A tool that helps make learning 'transparent'
What do you like best about the product?
I like the variety of templates available. The library for templates is very extensive. I also like how the templates help support my thinking process when I am designing activities for academics. The other things I like are MIRO's flexibility and how easy it is to develop my own templates, and how I am able to track and 'see' 'learning' as it is happening on the MIRO board. I simply love it.
What do you dislike about the product?
When the number of participants is high, it gets a bit chaotic on the board, with people moving things around (items can be unlocked). When developing MIRO activities, I have to be cautious and ensure that things are not too close together.
I also often get the ratio wrong. Things either get to small or too big. But I am learning.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest issue with going online is learner engagement. Many academics complained about not knowing whether their students are engaged, or even listening, or completing required activities. I have introduced MIRO to more than 40 academics at my university (I am an educational developer at a university). Those who adopt MIRO in their classes found that with MIRO, they can 'see' their students working on a problem, sharing ideas, developing a project etc. I have also used MIRO with academics for professional development (Masters level programme), and I could see how they collaborate, support others, and use MIRO content that they have developed as references. So, I think it has help a lot.
Easy and collaborative
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the possibility of having a virtual whiteboard experience that's quite close to the real experience live. Having the possibility to see highlighted things that others edited, the tool to bring everyone to my attention when presenting and to follow someone. I like a lot the smart drawing tool when I use my Ipad and i want to quickly sketch a tidy scheme.
What do you dislike about the product?
I honestly think is really annoying to have the arrows snapping everywhere and to every object. I would like to have a function to avoid it to easily use arrows as simple arrows (like the common "pen" tool with anchors).
By a psychological point of view I feel weird when someone is following me (without my invite), because it feels a bit like shadowing... I know that also in real life someone has the possibility to look what are you doing, but having the pointer physically there and not him or her in presence (or with a videocall), make me feel like I'm missing an open comparison with the persons. The same happens when it's me that I'm looking at someone... I don't want to make feel pressure.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All my collaborative remonte activities. All the workshops I'm conducting or participating in. I tthinkis really uuseful the wireframe library because it helped me to map and draw with the clients a simple user experience avoiding going deep into useless details. I Can save boards and I can consult them later on if I need. I love to have different templates to get inspired for distinct ativities when I set up a workshop because somethimes is really an inspiration source and not just a template to fill or to reuse to save time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
it's the best tool on the market to conduct collaborative works.
The No1 whiteboarding platform for interactive collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
High stability, low latency, interconnection with other apps, fast development of new functions, design mindset of development team, open APIs, fast collaboration with clients, easy-to-use, intuitive UX, very friendly support staff, miroverse, more in-depth templates, saving your own templates company-wide.
What do you dislike about the product?
Video and GIF handling (GIFs do not start automatically, videos can't be uploaded), Link handling (when elements are locked you cant click the link that is directly pasted onto the board, two clicks necessary when opening a link, etc), Lack of proper text formating, intransparent price model (why are some basic functions, like searching content from inside boards only available on enterprise plans? why are external collaborators only allowed on certain plans? that doesn't really make sense), complicated member administration - the backend in general is quite complicated because you have to switch between workspace settings, company setting and so on. this often is not easy to follow for new users. support has become very slow compared to pre-pandemic times
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All workshops and collaborative projects are done in miro. We became much faster in sharing content that is available to everyone in the team. complex strategies can be mapped visually. easy to start with new users because of its intuitive UX. mapping ux flows works great
The Boards That Everyone Needs
What do you like best about the product?
I like the experience of using Miro boards. This limitless board really accommodates my needs who like to dump many things in one place. In addition to that the preset or templates in Miro really help me to do many things like brainstorming, create a product analysis, building diagrams, and many more. All of these experiences even better with the ability to share the boards and collaborate with other team members or other people.
What do you dislike about the product?
The thing that I don't like is the pricing which is quite high.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro helps me to do brainstorming and dump my idea on the boards. Miro and the community also help me by providing a wide variety of templates that I could use to do my task. This really helps to solve my problem in creating that format. Miro also helps to solve my difficulties to collaborate especially in this pandemic time. With Miro, I could easily share the board and work together within the same board.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is a powerful board for all of you. For you who like to do brainstorming, mind dump, mind mapping, or just to store information visually, Miro is definitely a great tool to do this. You can do all the tasks mentioned above in one limitless board or you can create as many boards as you need to accommodate your needs. In addition to that, the community also very helpful in terms of creating many templates that we can use for our needs.
My main tool for remote codesign
What do you like best about the product?
What I like in Miro is flexibility. Compared to other similar tools, you have 1) more options to free involve guest editors, 2) more plugins and third-party integrations 3) Miroverse, a community where you can share and find templates.
What do you dislike about the product?
Notes and cards could be more powerful: they should be integrated with external spreadsheets in a better way. I really would like to import pre-tagged notes and other metadata from external spreadsheets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Remote collaboration. We suddenly started working remotely in March 2020: we were used to physical whiteboards, and we immediately searched a tool to replace it. Miro helps us to work together every day (we also use it for our standup meeting)
