Great collaboration and whiteboarding tool
What do you like best about the product?
Miro has been great for our teams to collaborate while being remote and distributed. There are various ways to whiteboard and brainstorm, and it's been the closest way for us to mimic what we used to do in person! I like the flowcharts to easily and quickly map out processes/flows and the mind map to jot down ideas.
What do you dislike about the product?
Minor - but it would be nice to have additional creative flexibility in the formatting of various boards
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are first and foremost solving virtual collaboration via Miro - having teams across many different time zones and locations has been a bit hectic and grown stale with just virtual conferencing. Adding Miro into our collaboration toolbox at work has been a helpful way for us to engage teammates creatively that we haven't been able to since we have become remote.
Miro is helping our team get its work done
What do you like best about the product?
Miro has been a helpful space where our product designers have been able to do a wide range of work. We use it as a space for exploring ideas individually, between peers, or as a whole group. It's also a useful self-documenting tool -- that is, no need to create a separate Confluence page to describe the outcomes of a meeting. For example, today I was onboarding a new team member, and it was easy to pop into a Miro workshop board from several months ago to discuss how our team had worked toward an OKR objective/result in the Q1 of 2021.
What do you dislike about the product?
I struggle selecting an item to edit it and then inadvertantly selecting another tool with a keyboard shortcut. That's because I can double click on an object and think that it's in an editable state, but it's not immediately clear that whether the object is or not. If it isn't, but I think it is, then as I start typing, keyboard shortcuts will change the tool to something unintended. I run into this issue repeatedly, even though I try to avoid it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro often to clarify thoughts that I have swirling around in my head. I use a mind map to get my ideas out of my head, and then begin to structure them. I've used that approach for project planning, or simply organizing my day.
Initially difficult to grasp, yet a stunning visual board
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is one of my favorite apps because it is readily available on all platforms and accessible from anywhere via an internet connection, regardless of whether the device is a mobile phone, a laptop, or a desktop computer. Furthermore, I can engage visually with my coworkers while working from home, as if we were all seated at the same workstation at the same time.
What do you dislike about the product?
The versioning of Miro boards is one of the biggest problems I see. It's mandatory to replicate panels if I need to retain a copy for reference before making a substantial change to the board. Also, downloading the files into different formats can be complicated because one must first pick and capture the frame before downloading the file into the desired format.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We appreciate how effortlessly Miro allows us to plan, develop, and collaborate on our complete customer journey maps, business models, and project management. We especially enjoy how seamless it is to plan, create, and collaborate on our entire visual plans.
Amazing collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
MIro's templates, both user-created and built-in, are great! Visually organizing ideas and work information is far better for my brain than simply writing it down. I also enjoy sharing boards with others. It's fun to see others collaborating in real-time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Miro has a bit of a learning curve that makes it difficult to get other non-Miro users on board quickly. Despite the many ice-breaker activities and exercises, it can still take a fair amount of time to get new users comfortable with the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro to organize and ideate workshops for my business as well as share ideas. It has been fantastic for sharing information with my friends and business partners.
Perfect space for consultants running virtual workshops
What do you like best about the product?
I'm a consultant running strategic workshops. Since 2020, for obvious reasons, I have switched to virtual workshops. I can create separate spaces for break-out sessions. It was critical I have control over who can access whiteboards. With the Consultant Plan, I can control who can view the boards and who can collaborate.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would love to see better functionality in giving edit rights to collaborators. If I have a list of 30 people, I need to do that one by one
I cannot create templates that I could use across different accounts (Consultant Plan) . The template is saved under one account. Then I have to create a new board or duplicate and then move to another account. It should be more straightforward!

Quite useful but faced difficulties get started
What do you like best about the product?
I found two most potent and valuable features of Miro, and they are:
1. Our team can create various boards and work on them together, virtually and in the most productive way possible.
2. We can also conduct live chat or video sessions and discuss any projects we work on together, making us aligned and intact.

What do you dislike about the product?
As per my experience, getting started with Miro can be pretty challenging and even confusing in some cases due to its overwhelming features and functionalities. Rather than adding so many features all at once, I think they should refine each of them to better user experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All-in-all, Miro has been a wonderful experience for me. It has become my one-stop tool for brainstorming, documenting ideas, and collaborating more visually. It gives the impression that our entire team is working together in an actual workspace because we can conduct live text, audio, and video sessions simultaneously.
Ideate, plan, collaborate and communicate in real-time
What do you like best about the product?
I greatly admire the wide variety of features Miro offers. From creating a business model canvas to mind maps, everything is possible with Miro digital board as it also has a category-wise library of pre-built templates. Apart from that, our team can work together from anywhere and on any device, as it is cross-platform compatible.
What do you dislike about the product?
Through Miro also has the diagramming and sketching feature, it is pretty limited and is not like other more advanced and flexible tools such as Adobe Illustrator and Freehand.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To summarize, I have a better experience with Miro. It is not merely a digital board; rather than it's an entire workspace for a team working on visuals, plannings, brainstorming, and idea validation. I've realized the huge advantage it is for our whole team to communicate in real-time while collaborating virtually through this software.
Miro is Visio on steroids
What do you like best about the product?
The upsides of using Miro are collaborating live on the virtual whiteboard to create a chart or diagram. I've used other programs, and real-time synchronous collaboration is not as they say it is. I like the fact that there are many templates of diagrams to choose from and a good set of training videos to help you along the way.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UX is rather cluttered. For someone who has expert use in other collaborative software, initially, there is lots to figure out i.e., how to share the whiteboard, how to get help, what all the buttons and functions do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are creating storyboards for online learning collaboratively. Also, the opportunity to share ideas virtually with a geographically disparate team is useful synchrounously.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro has myriad ways of drawing charts and diagrams, and with that, you can collaborate with peers, so all the better.
Great tool for teams, consultants & enterprises
What do you like best about the product?
I've been using MIro for almost 4 years, first with a consultant profile. I was impressed by the ease of access for the external collaborators I invited to use Miro and the close to the non-existing on-boarding time needed.
The tool is equally suitable for wireframing, diagramming, brainstorming, and product discovery. My customers loved it.
2 years ago, the company I work for purchased Enterprise licenses after a comparison with Mural, LucidSpark and FigJam. The flexible licensing model of Miro is really good, and allows us to grow the usage on a pace that fits our budget and needs. After 2 years of usage, we are still happy about this product and especially happy about the constant user-centric development that always keeps the product fit for our needs.

What do you dislike about the product?
Miro offers everything that could be considered a must for virtual collaboration. Nevertheless, there are several areas of improvement that Miro team could work on to make their product even greater:
1. Jira Cards integration is done on a team level, not on Enterprise subscription level. We have 15+ teams in our enterprise subscription, meaning we need to do the integration 15 times.
2. Some competitors are more focused on Agile flow support & Jira integrations and offer Dynamic backlog management tools (LucidSpark and Stormboard), so it will be great if Miro focuses on this in the near future.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Miro in several directions:
1. Goal Setting (Objectives and Key Results), their set-up and tracking in a collaborative model;
2. Quarterly planning events and workshops;
3. Product discovery sessions.
4. Roadmap planning & Roadmap updates.
The main benefits we get from Miro are ease of communication, visualization of progress, transparency, and enhanced collaboration between teams.
The integration with Jira helps us automate part of the flow of planning, removing the need to transfer information from a whiteboard to the planning tool!

White boarding tool that you can access from anywhere
What do you like best about the product?
The significant upside of Miro is the ability to quickly onboard multiple team members and collaborate into its carefully designed digital whiteboard either from scratch or by simply selecting from hundreds of pre-built templates. Another benefit is that it has an inbuilt real-time video communication feature that aids in better team productivity. Additionally, it supports cross-platform, which means it is accessible from almost all internet devices and operating systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
The primary issue that I faced while using Miro is that I cannot seamlessly download the designs, diagrams, and visuals into printable pdf format; instead, I need to capture a frame and partially download it all the time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
While working from home, Miro has found to be an excellent visual-based team collaboration tool that keeps everyone on the same page, increases team efficiency, and produces better work outputs. This tool has been a fantastic way to create a proof of concept of any ideas or solutions.
