Great experience while collaborating within the team
What do you like best about the product?
1. I leverage Miro's pre-built template and drive inspiration to build my reusable templates.
2.Miro has a very intuitive, User Friendly UI/UX. This makes onboarding " a walk in the park," and one can start leveraging the collaboration benefits in no time.
3. There are different User experiences optimized with other gestures. A touchscreen will have different UX vs if u use a mouse or a touchpad, the tool will self adjust
4. Multiple users can work on the same board without much governance still the whole collaboration is very smooth
5. Everybody is used to physical interaction and whiteboarding. Now that it is almost impossible, Miro saves the day.

What do you dislike about the product?
A. There are suttle differences in the way once can access the tool in browser vs app. This causes user experience issues. I get confused when some of the shortcuts in the browser works differently in the app.
B. I think Miro is best used in a laptop, i feel constrained when using it in Mobile

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend Miro for the structuring of thought and collaborative planning. It is an ideal scenario if the organization uses the tool with a premium license. However, I recommend this took irrespective of the organizational dependency.
Freemium version can get u started pretty quickly, and the tool has enough potential to be converted into an enterprise-level tool

Online collaboration even at a distance
What do you like best about the product?
There is a huge range of uses and tools for miro. I use it when trying to think through service and system designs on my own with post-it-notes, and lines, and creating blueprints. But I also use it to facilitate meetings and online collaborative working, either using the templates in Miro or creating my own template and using colour coded post-it-notes to track each of the contributor's activities. It's about as close as you can get to moving a physical whiteboard into an intuitive online space, in some ways better (there is less cleaning to be done and it's easier to save).
What do you dislike about the product?
- Contacting support can be a bit of a challenge if something goes wrong
- It's not always easy to share boards if you are not an admin
- I'd like more shapes to choose from (with inline arrows a particular request)
- the tables can not be extended into as many cells long as I would like for a good service blueprint

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am usually trying to think through new services or systems and how to ensure that a team of people is collaborating on them effectively. Miro helps by offering participants different ways to vote, embedded timers to create time-bound activities. As an admin its relatively easy to mix levels of access and visibility participants have to different parts of the workshop.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's the best virtual whiteboard I have used to date. It's worth trying if you need a virtual collaborative environment.
Amazing tool for collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Miro helped me during the lockdown to work collaboratively with the team, exactly like when we were in the office, and sometimes better. It is a fundamental tool in our workflow for brainstorming, decision making, and co-design activities. We often use Miro boards as addition specifications for sofware developers, both exported as images or PDF and directly linked into DevOps cards.
What do you dislike about the product?
It isn't easy to handle big groups of anonymous users. It happens a lot when we run a big workshop with persons external to our organization that aren't autonomous in exporting information and other activities. The voting system isn't so intuitive to use for first-comers. The wireframe library could be bigger, I usually prefer to sketch with shapes and text. Make it easier to draw lines.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Powerful whiteboard for co-design activities, both with designers and developers
- Make it easy to handle big meetings with a lot of essential stakeholders, making the conversation more structured and easy to manage
- Perfect to collect inspirational material for market analysis, user testing, and UX design

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use a lot the guest access to make it every day in the organization to see Miro boards, and it can be not easy to understand the concept if you never used collaborative whiteboards.
Miro is a great tool for collaboration and ideation
What do you like best about the product?
I can use it for facilitating workshops and the tools for collaboration are very versatile. Also, I'm happy with the AI integration that allow us to cluster concepts by keywords. It's quite good not only for facilitation but for organising other type of data like verbatims from interviews.
Besides of collaoration, I use it for solo ideation when kickstarting projects and for mindmapping.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I have to facilitate workshops where not everyone has access to the tool, and it's quite challenging for them to just to use the comment feature. The basic mode could have some sort of integration for this cases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm a very visual person so it's a great way to display all data and how each concept relates with each other. It helps me a lot also to put together different elements (benchmark, wireframes, visual data) to show a bigger concept to different stakeholders, and to have them in the same space to make a workshop together.
The IA feature helps me organize data by key concepts easily.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend it to cross-functional teams, especially if they involve designers and other stakeholders, also to conduct workshops.
The best free virtual board application
What do you like best about the product?
The customization of the board is quite advanced. You can do everything you would do with a physical board.
Everything is editable in real time with other users.
The app is very user-friendly. You can start to use it without any indications.
Navigation inside a giant board is relatively easy thanks to the map and the fact you can follow other user's cursors.
The app is web-based so that you can use it from any device.
It depends on the usage you want, but the free version might be enough for your company. We use it mostly to share our scrum board, and so one board is enough.

What do you dislike about the product?
I don't see a downside. You can remove the things you don't like or don't use them.
I don't like to see the collaborators' cursors, especially when we are more than ten currently using the board, but you can hide them.
The locking system can be frustrating if someone selects a card and you can't edit it or move it, you have to ask that user to unlock it himself.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With the corona crisis, we needed an online tool to be able to do our scrum board still. In the end, it means less paper and easy accessibility.
Now we also use it in meetings for brainstorming and surveys.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is free as long as you use only three boards. You can use it for your daily scrum, but if you want more, you'll have to pay.
Miro is great for getting things out of your head and in front of your eyes.
What do you like best about the product?
I love the free format of Miro, and how intuitive it is, Miro just gets out of your way and lets you work. I can be as chaotic or as organized with my ideas as I need.
However, when you need to organize and collaborate your ideas better Miro has tons of templates to choose from that you can also be changed on the fly to fit your needs.

What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like how Miro askes me how much I like a template before I even have the opportunity to use it. I would also like to see the ability to control shapes and not be limited to the ones given to us. I would also like to create my own vector shapes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I run problem-solving workshops remotely through Miro. I have helped startups visualized and optimize their workflows in real-time with Miro. The benefit of having a tool to help others visualize their problems and solutions quickly is a huge help.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is great for getting and sharing all your ideas on the most unrestrictive platform ever.
Great tool for remote collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Real-time updates of where people are on the board. Plug ins to connect Jira and Trello so we don't duplicate writing content in multiple places.
What do you dislike about the product?
Could be better at handling images. It's vital for me and my project to have screenshots of our designs on the board to annotate and create journeys and maps. If Miro could somehow compress the image going in to help with performance, that would be incredible. My board has over 300 screenshots on and it's vital for the entire team to work and access this. Many of my peers have older work equipment and slows their machines down considerably. More typography choices and sizing options would be great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're solving the issue of collaborating in big teams while all working from home. Having a real time tool which is as lightweight as Miro makes participation more accessible.
Very useful tool for online collaboration and facilitation
What do you like best about the product?
I like the endless board the most, allowing my team and myself to span around complex projects. Miro helps us to visualize the steps of our endeavors, showing insight into different challenges and goals. The powerful visualization tools help me coordinate team efforts in my projects. I also really like tre "frames" option, when I lock them they provide a good structure to work on.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have purchased a "team" subscription plan, as I facilitate a team of two startup owners, plus their advisors. This plan is limited as it asks me to purchase additional licenses for everybody who wants to do more than comment on the board. Additionally, I've just seen that they now sell "$10 per member/month billed monthly", while I was charged 15$ just two weeks ago per member in this plan.
Also, I am not a big fan of constant reminders that something is new and that I should try it out every now and then.
Also, Miro does have a certain learning curve that should be follwed.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've solved problems regarding visualization and coordination of project steps in my ongoing projects. Miro is mostly beneficial for online work and remote work.
In these times it is hard to collaborate while staying at home, and Miro really helps my clients and myself to get to the goals fast and with substantial motivation.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
It would help if you tried it out. It does make a difference.
Great collaboration tool! especially in current times
What do you like best about the product?
I love that it is a real-time whiteboard tool that I can share with everyone on my team. We use Miro to map out plans for our projects, track progress, generate solutions and ideas with stakeholders, and visualize concepts. It is essential to me in my current role as a Product Manager, and I would recommend it to anyone that works with a remote team.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were more integrations. I use JIRA for managing work with my team but would like to use one tool and have it reflect in the other. I would also like to see more templates that are maybe community-generated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communication. The tool allows me to communicate with a remote team about plans and ideate solutions with them. Stakeholders also use the tool to get updates from the product team as we use it for all our planning
It got everything I got for the workshops with my clients. I try to do sone Design Sprint excercise
What do you like best about the product?
Its SUPER EASY to understand in just 2 minutes. Super intuitive for my clients to start using it. That a really plus for me. Also, there is no need for login, in 2 clicks my clients can be using Miro and in 2 minutes they are already experts
I can draw in a beautiful way all my thoughts and ideas and share it with people in my company or with clients. Visually is awesome. The era of powerpoint is over for me

What do you dislike about the product?
Its not very personalized and informal. That what I like about figjam, the got some cool themes, stickers, ways to use a sticky notes. Thats a +1 in the delightfulness of the product. In conclusion, Figjam is fun to use and Miro is only super useful
Also i dont like the lack of "emojiness" of the platform. In workshops I need to maintain people entertain, so I need resources for that, if the platform is too serious, people might get bored.
Maybe an Product Tour Onboarding might be super useful for any guest that enter my boards. Right now I have to add an personal onboarding chart to make them use miro before the workshop but that can be automated by the platform itself.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Design problems Its super useful for documentig in a visual way results and findings. I facilitate workshops and, contrary to a physical workshop, a remote one in Miro got everything documented. Also, people are tire of looking at powerpoints slides, Miro is a great visual change for my audience in terms of presentation
For example: I been working projects like "how to increase the digital usage of a product" or "how can be improved the customer experiencia in gas station". And in my boarda I add dashboards, study results, customer Journey Maps and much more
Right now Im working in the design of a new app for the medical field. A real challenge, but using tools like miro my clients trust that I know what Im doing
