Great tool for brainstorming and visualizing workflows, logic models, and organizational structure
What do you like best about the product?
I like how flexible Miro is. You can use it for so many things!
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish I could snap shapes to place on a grid or with each other. It would also be nice to resize multiple objects more easily.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've collected ideas through brainstorming sticky note activities, designed a logic model, and visualized our organizational structure.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is important to lead new users through several activities step by step. Less tech-savvy folks are likely to need extra support and practice.
Userfriendly Tool to improve Efficiency in Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
Intuitive operating within the tool. It is a big digital whiteboard with all additional tools you need in order to conduct jour fixes for example.
What do you dislike about the product?
Free version is limited to a number of different "maps". One the other hand, they have to make money somehow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are doing our jour fixes with Miro.
Furthermore, I am using it for my own organization within my projects. It helps to keep a overview and not to forget anything.

Miro has enabled us to run remote brainstorming sessions, which is helpful during these times.
What do you like best about the product?
I like its real-time collaboration features. For instance, in our agile team, we can host our ceremonies on Miro (i.e. story-pointing exercises, kanban boards, etc.) I've also found it helpful for card sorting and design thinking sessions to gain insights on taxonomies and site navigation.
What do you dislike about the product?
In all honesty, there's little I dislike. There's a slight learning curve to using Miro if you haven't used it or similar applications before, but Miro does a good job of walking you through the interface and different functionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working with fully remote teams and getting stakeholder feedback and alignment when it comes to design direction can be challenging when only relying on video conferencing applications. With Miro, there's an interface where everyone actively participates, making it both practical and engaging.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I'd recommend exploring Miro and all it has to offer. There's a ton of stuff that can be really useful if you're aware of them beforehand.
My experience with Miro
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the ease of use of Miro and the ability to collaborate simultaneously with my colleagues. In this way we are able to carry out our tasks faster and in a more organized way.
What do you dislike about the product?
The thing I like least are the arrows, too small! (and sometimes they don't connect well) and maybe the chat notifications sometimes go unnoticed.
As for the rest I like and appreciate everything!

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows me to work with my colleagues during this quarantine period and continue to design my products. With Miro I also solved the problem of organization with my colleagues and I improved the quality of my works.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start using it without fear, it is really comfortable and useful. I advise you to experiment a lot at the beginning using all the tools available on the left. It will make your life easier.
Virtual facilitation without boundaries
What do you like best about the product?
The diverse range of shape tools, icon libraries, video embed options, presentation and facilitation functions make this such a versatile platform. The tool is deep for a workshop facilitator while also being simple enough for the basic first-time uses. The ability to share boards and create co-creation spaces has been a game-changer during COVID and fast-followers like Microsoft have a long way to come to cover this gap.
What do you dislike about the product?
On occasion, performance has been sluggish but this has been improved lately. The lack of public/annonymous boards was an issue before but is now made available. I look forward to the ability to force password use on public boards going forward as a company admin for cyber risk protection. Archiving and board organisation capabilities are limited. Slightly complicated enterprise pricing plan with lacking usage analytics tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Workshop facilitation was a real challenge before. Miro makes it possible to make space and visualise any conversation.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider how you will organise, distribute accountability for administration and archive your documentation as part of your roll-out plans. This has been something we have had to come back to retrospectively to ensure sustainability of our use of the platform.
great collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
- user interface
- it has various tools i.e icon finder, image search which makes the online experience to lively
- smart drawing and white board drawing using pencil is very helpful in hand drawing activities

What do you dislike about the product?
when there are too many templates or frames in the board, it takes time to load, take backup. Sometimes it even hangs and does not backup the data properly
It also does not have word suggestions when you mis spell the words, however it does underline if words if they incorrect

Recommendations to others considering the product:
i would highly recommend Miro for any online workshops whether its interactive or not. Miro covers almost all the aspects of virtual experience. It is so far the best alternative to face to face communication/interaction which brings all the elements on table to make your online collaboration richer.
A Whiteboard That Does It All
What do you like best about the product?
The things I like the best about Miro is that it is easy to use and the sticky notes don't run out of space.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I would like to change is the way they have set up their template selection.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sticky notes and a whiteboard are very visual. For us, most of the staff are visual people so we needed an online whiteboard we could all have access to while we are working from home.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is an excellent storyboard and can hold a lot of information. This information can be easily manipulated and edited. We are using to plan long term programming and it has been a wonderful addition to our online tools.
Using Miro as a product designer for 2 years
What do you like best about the product?
I definitely like to use Miro to share flows and concepts with different stakeholders. It takes less time than crafting a prototype in early stage of development so during the design development stage, I'd like to use Miro to share my design.
What do you dislike about the product?
I must establish the use of Miro for concepts and development because it's not suitable for a final hand off to developer. After finishing several projects, I experienced that other stakeholders got confused about the final spec. The single source of truth is important to avoid miscommunication.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I get to share and collect feedbacks from peers and other stakeholders easily. I can also illustrate flows by providing key screens with arrows.
Great for all virtual teams in this era
What do you like best about the product?
- Ability to see live changes
- Color availability
- Smart alignment of shapes
- Fast copy with one button
- Timer and voting apps included inside

What do you dislike about the product?
- I continually accidentally move objects if they're not locked, and it's hard to come back and lock things after the board is in use.
- The ability to scroll left and right in a panel view would be nice instead of having to drag the screen. The bottom right navigation panel is usually too small to be able to get things into the view I want, especially if I just want to move to the left a smidge.
- Also, if things are locked I can't copy one object. I have to unlock everything to copy one item of an entire board of locked items.
- When I unlock items, the previous groupings are removed
- When voting, it puts ALL the stickies as options instead of if I only want 3 stickies to be voted on
- Moving horizontal lines is difficult. The line doesn't stay straight because the left side is a fixed point

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a great visual for whiteboarding and alignment. We use it for our Agile PI plannings, and being able to see all team dependencies on one board has been a blessing. We also use it for retrospectives, which MIRO was a great tool to pivot to when we had to all be remote due to COVID.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great for virtual collaboration
Amazing collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
It's an easy to use self-service platform to create, generate, compile, and prototype ideas.
What do you dislike about the product?
The onboarding process could be more customized according to my profile.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mindmap creation, insight compilation, brainstorming sessions, "paper" prototypes, flowchart creation, presentation, communication, collaboration.
