We feel like we are working in person
What do you like best about the product?
We are using Miro throughout our company, from brainstorming to project planning. It serves as a repository for all of our ideals, studies, and insights. The most significant upside is that it allows us to collaborate more creatively within a team and also enables us more easily access the work of proximity teams.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the downsides of Miro include its navigation part, which is not relatively straightforward and can be much more confusing for the new users; also, the screen needs to be zoomed in frequently to read specific texts and diagrams. Furthermore, it is pretty challenging to keep track of all the different boards we have.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All in all, Miro has become a virtual whiteboard that lets our entire team jump into and collaborate, brainstorm, and work on ideas, concepts, and plans. We feel like we are working physically in person due to its remarkable real-time collaboration and communication facility.
Feature rich yet intuitive
What do you like best about the product?
I rarely say "feature-rich" because it usually means bloated, but in this case I think you can get away with using the simple features and just skip the more advanced ones if you don't need them. There are not many constraints and allowing users to do do whatever, like just add post-its to a blank background without first creating a canvas is good.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a bit unfocused with all the features presented flat. Even though you know exactly which features are mostly used (probably post-its?) that icon is just one of many. In essense it's a lack of prioritization and focus, the same trap that editors like Photoshop falls into.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've been using it to share and co-create ideas as well as presenting stuff. The hands on nature makes it easy for other people to just add text och group items and when presenting the non linear and not so polished nature of Miro makes it faster and more intuitive to present. Much like when using a whiteboard.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Test out the different templates to get an overview of what you can do in Miro, just clicking the icons in the toolbar doesn't tie the features together like the templates do.
Collaborate seamlessly even during the pandemic
What do you like best about the product?
The most delicate thing about Miro is that it allows your entire team members to collaborate effectively from anywhere. Furthermore, I enjoy the freedom and real-time user experience it provides, making it feel like we were doing this on a round table. It also ensures that the accomplishment is visible continuously and available to all the collaborators, regardless of location.
What do you dislike about the product?
Miro primarily focuses on better collaboration among the virtual team, so it has an inbuilt video chatting feature. However, it is quite limited in terms of the breadth of functionalities it provides, such as it does not have any option to record the session for later as a reference.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro enables us to schedule, coordinate, decide things, share ideas, strategize, and do a lot more with ease. We finally have a planning tool that our entire team can use together while working remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic.
A digital whiteboard where your entire team can work together
What do you like best about the product?
For me, Miro addresses my needs widely. Being an internet collaboration application, it is helpful for various virtual teamwork such as data analysis, conceptualization, creating customer journeys and user story maps, mind maps, user research, and a variety of other visually understandable projects. Also, it is possible to chat and share comments with collaborators in real-time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Collaborators who have never used Miro before may require some assistance navigating their way around the platform. Because Miro has many features, it does need some learning time to become familiar with them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro has become an excellent way for me to plan things, share them with team members, refine them and finalize them all online during this ongoing Pandemic situation, which is a huge benefit that I have realized from using it. It has also become an excellent way for me to collaborate with others without meeting in person, which is another huge benefit that I have realized from using Miro.
Fantastic tool for sharing design maps/trees with customers and team members
What do you like best about the product?
The consultant plan is my favorite for working with my enterprise customers, and the number of tools at my fingertips is just right. The tools are not too detailed or robust where they're less efficient and you're spending too much time learning how to use them, but there are enough options to clearly (and decently graphically nice) share product visions/designs/maps/etc. I highly recommend Miro for anyone working in professional services, consulting, or freelance roles with business customers (especially the enterprise segment where everything has to be well-planned).
What do you dislike about the product?
I use mind mapping a lot for chat flow design, and there are times where I would like to add a new node on the same path *between* two existing nodes. This is not currently possible, which means I have to reconstruct a flow to make this happen. Graphically, I would like the option to individually change the colors of nodes within a mindmap.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro for quickly and effectively communicating complex chat flows (as an AI Conversation Designer) with enterprise customers. This has significantly reduced friction in the building process (as I was previously relying on spreadsheets or manually mapped slides) and has also lead to a significant reduction in design oversights (i.e. duplicative nodes).
Miro aids online workshop facilitation and collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
During lockdown, the Miro board helps replace the usual workshops with ability to capture input from virtual attendees, ensuring all stakeholder perspectives are captured. Importantly, the ability to print the boards and extract comments as text means there is no transcription of workshop attendee input.
What do you dislike about the product?
Functionality around who can control, move items on a board. Also enhanced features around temporary closure of a board (say with a timer) while workshop participants are presenting. Sometimes attendees are distracted by the board and need to focus on presentations before capturing the next round of thoughts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro has been great for capturing reviews of project designs, plans, reports in an online workshop setting. Paired with functionality like participant surveys through TEAMS, it is a very powerful collaboraiton tool.
Amazing tool for productivity
What do you like best about the product?
I really like how there is an infinite board that you can just freeform populate with ideas and visuals and the fact that you can live collaborate is what sold it to me. I switched from Milanote and I haven't regretted it since. :)
It's really cool to be able to edit things on all sizes so everything fits perfectly and it's easy to overview and see where everything is (thanks to frames also).

What do you dislike about the product?
It would be really awesome to have nested boards like a folder structure because now there is only 1 level. It would be super neat if you could have boards within boards within boards.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am an animator and a designer and I use it for work to show clients storyboards, scripts etc. and to collaborate with other artists.
You can plan, idea, map and collaborate with Miro
What do you like best about the product?
Miro delivers seamless collaboration functionalities, which has been beneficial in allowing our remote team to conduct back and forth sessions with minimal effort. It can become a knowledge base for the product, design, and marketing teams to generate ideas and plan.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost per extra user for the team collaboration is higher than the subscription because it is an additional charge and the subscription fee. In this case, Miro should introduce an affordable pricing plan for startups would be highly beneficial.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Previously we had a hard time creating visuals on Google docs or charts, and we tried various tools that were quite limited in terms of collaboration and other handy features. But now, after getting started with Miro, we feel good as we can collaborate in real-time and create varieties of concepts and designs in less time.
Perfect way to demonstrate concepts and ideas
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is more than a design tool; it is also a complete digital whiteboard. Any notions or ideas are presentable from scratch or by picking one of the many pre-made templates available. Another advantage of this application is that it enables real-time collaboration with other team members.
What do you dislike about the product?
Miro does not have a feature to directly download visuals into various file formats such as doc, pdf, or image; instead, we need to create and capture the frame, which can be confusing for most first-time users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Miro for almost everything at our company, including business planning and preparation, teamwork, idea generation, and finalization, among other things. Thanks to the Miro, that finally we can communicate our thoughts and ideas.
Draw and share what you imagine with Miro
What do you like best about the product?
Among all of its features, the mind map creation feature is the most appealing and valuable as it quickly lets me create entire maps for any idea or plan. Other than this, the maps are seamlessly sharable with other users, leading to better collaboration and productivity. Also, it has a feature to create multiple designs and ideas into a visually appealing format that is downloadable into various file formats.
What do you dislike about the product?
As this software has a breadth of features and functionalities, it can be tough to navigate for first-time users, so I think it needs to enhance its user experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All in all, Miro is a remarkable tool for visual illustrations of ideas and concepts. It saves time and energy on finalizing any concepts or ideas as it allows seamless sharing and collaboration among team members working from anywhere remotely. Though its optimum navigation feels pretty complex and confusing, I hope it will make the overall user experience smooth in the coming days.
