Very helpful online collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to collaborate online with "whiteboards", text entry, comments, chat, brainstorming, etc.
Very helpful vs. in-person to reduce travel expenses, include others around the world in different time zones, minimize language barrier challenges, etc.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes confusing to know where you are on overall large board as well as how to use product.
Definitely suggest doing a training session prior to 1st use.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
On-line collaboration (due to COVID, reduced travel expense, travel time availability, etc.) as well as include various time zones
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Works really well for on-line collaboration, whiteboarding, brainstorming/design sessions, and documentation of output.
Captures all notes and input on huge board and allows easy zooming to specific sections.
Quick on-boarding process.

Really nice collaboration tool.
What do you like best about the product?
I like how simple to use Miro is. I like the several connections with other apps.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like of how long it takes to load and that sometimes it updates itself and things get a little crazy. Maybe add a notification saying that there is an update available and giving the user the ability to skip this update.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With lockdown we used miro as our daily board, white board, retro boards, story telling, etc. Pretty much all the agile ceremonies can be used using Miro.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend using Miro :)
Great collaborative tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to use. I learned the main functionality in less than an hour. I also like how you can make links public so there is no need for clients to create an account or sign in. It has a lot of templates to start from but you can easily make your own boards and navigate. I also like being able to choose the color of the stickies I want, which is nice for creating categories, priorities, or differentiating users. Also, I really like the many formats you can export too. Our top used ones are Excel, PDF, and JPG.
What do you dislike about the product?
Occasionally there are some glitches with moving around the board, but overall it is solid for our purposes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use this tool for remote collaboration since COVID has prevented us from doing in-person workshops. It is also really great for documenting requirements and not having to re-type them as you can easily export to Excel or PDF.

Workshops, collaboration and brain dumps - never going back
What do you like best about the product?
Allowing me to continue my work remotely.
- It's really easy to use, I was able to drive engaging workshops even with clients that weren't digital savvy.
- Being able to share boards through a link (and not needing to create an account)
- Having all your thoughts digitalised while you go
The last couple of times we met physically (on save distance), we were still using Miro.
Giving us best of both worlds: look each other in the eyes and having all your outputs digitalized at the same time.

What do you dislike about the product?
Since I use Miro also for project brain-dumps, adding too many files can impact performance.
Experience between browsers is different (always ask which browsers your participants are using, this will explain a lot when something isn't working properly).

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro allows me to continue driving workshops and creative and strategic sessions.
Actually more efficient than before, since all is digitalized at once.
Compared to other platforms it's easy and functions like "bring every one to me" really allows you to drive engaging sessions even with e.g. elderly (when working on patient-interviews to create journeys)

Intuitive platform
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is very intuitive to use, it is the first tool that I have used where I can literally map my thoughts the way they come to me and organize them in a way that can be easily communicated to others. I also like the visuals of the templates, there are pleasing to look at.
Miro is a beautiful collaboration tool.

What do you dislike about the product?
The print to pdf function doesn't work very well. For some reasons, the fonts are out of place.
Some of the tools (template, pen, etc.) of the same family don't allow the same type of formatting, it feels a bit restricted, but it could have been the developers' choice to keep the platform lean.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I think I am solving multiple types of problems. The first one is to communicate what I see to others. Hinging on visualization has been a big improvement toward it. Then, it's also about engaging people in the conversation and having them contributing to the vision.
Fast-paced tool
What do you like best about the product?
The most exciting part about working with Miro is its amazing flexibility and adaptability to every task, from architectural diagrams to UX storyboards.
What do you dislike about the product?
After all these years, I still don't understand how board access rights work. Who will see the board I have created? Why do I see some of the other boards and some I can't? And - finding some board I created a year ago, is possible only with the link at hand, it just sinks somewhere in an endless page of boards.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- The ability to keep all project materials on one borderless page
- A huge number of templates for any task
- An priceless tool for online workshops

Great collaboration tool for UX writers!
What do you like best about the product?
Cloud-based collaboration. The ability to overlay copy onto images so as writers, we have a feel for how much space we have for copy, the visual hierarchy of the page or screen, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some minor flaws like the ability to add outlines around imported images, the way text can (or can't) be formatted depending on the "box" type. But overall, there is much more good than bad.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Copy recommendations for web pages on desktop and mobile devices. The ability to export specific sections of the Miro board into high-quality PDFs is invaluable for communicating recommendations that are easy for non-UX teams to understand.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the plunge. It's well worth it.
Good substitute for - and sometimes even enhancement over - physical workshops
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use: even new users will get the hang of it quickly (even though navigation needs a little getting used to).
Beautiful results: The developers thought of many details to make the result look prettier and more clutter-free than for instance designing a slide in Powerpoint

What do you dislike about the product?
Navigation is a little difficult at first. Also, I still don't understand their membership model, which is quite complicated. But now that I have a premium membership for some of my boards, I can work with everybody I need to, so I don't care too much anymore.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ideation; visualising complex systems for which Powerpoint is too ugly and paper to cumbersome & unflexible; to collect all of our workshop results over a couple of months in one place.
Great collaborative experience
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to quickly spin up a new board and start collaborating for so many things.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's something funky about selecting and moving objects.
It feels clunky when typing notes and then needing to move them.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to visually explore customer flows with stakeholders cuts down on so many cycles of back-and-forth revisions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use Miro for what it's good at; don't try to bend it to everything.
