Quick, intuitive and creative collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
Most helpful for me is the possibility to visualize processes quickly. I can add specific colors, which fit our corporate identity. There are dozens of templates to use.
I can easily share the content and work with my colleagues on the boards, even if they are "just" guests.
I really like that the frames can be extended to any size, so it's great to fit also complex processes on the board. Having the board unlimited is a real bonus, as many frames as you like can be added and shifted around. With the presentation mode you can adapt the order of the frames during the presentation, still they stay the same order on the board, which I think is very helpful for presenting to different clients.

What do you dislike about the product?
Exporting content seems a bit tricky sometimes as it goes wrong or doesn't save. Unfortunately, you cannot export to PowerPoint which makes it complicated as I work with both of them and sometimes I need to re-do a layout as not everyone uses miro.
The zooming is a bit ennerving as it's sometimes to close or to far away or moves around.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's very adaptive, and there are a lot of quick tutorials. There are a lot of helpful integrations. For it's great to show processes and work together on the improvement.
The biggest problem I could solve was the limited space I had with other tools, that was a great improvement.

If you need an easy collaboration tool to visualize processes and work together with your team without a big intro, I can recommend miro!
I used Miro since it was named Realtime Board, happy with it since then.
What do you like best about the product?
When I found about the tool years ago, for me, the most crucial part was to bring and store digitally all workshops that I was conducting in a physical environment, so all those stickies that were placed all over the wall could be revisited in the future so it wasn't a matter of a fun day exploring or an ideation session, but I could use them to share the knowledge and decisions taken that day and revisit whenever was needed.
Nowadays, for me, the best is the collaborative way of working in Miro and also the fact that you can align with multiple stakeholders over the same board without being in the same room.

What do you dislike about the product?
The different projects are stored because, by default, they all go to the dashboard in an immense list. I know now you can create projects but still...
I would improve the way of importing screenshots from Figma to Miro. Sometimes annotations get mixed between the actual "Comments' functionality, and some other participants make comments directly on a sticky, which makes the communication to be held in different channels within the same tool and also normally, the comments on stickies usually are more taken into account, and the ones under the comments functionality go unnoticed

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Remote workshops, aligned with Developers and product teams. It helps us (UX designers) to be involved during the decision making and ideation together with the rest of the stakeholders and we sometimes create wireframes quickly at the moment of ideation so stakeholders can have more visual ideas

Long time user, and it has done nothing but improve
MIro is THE collaboration for technical teams in the new WFH and offshore era
What do you like best about the product?
Miro's workspace is infinite. It has every type of template for mapping, ideation, notes, diagramming, etc., AND, best of all, the arrow connectors work between every type of diagram - genius. As soon as we get approval to move to the corp plan, we're looking forward to integrating with Jira - I've always disliked Jira for its poor handling of diagrams and sketches. Now we will be able to move the requirements out to Mira and track the stories in Jira. The Mira 3 boards trial has made it possible for us to work with the tool extensively, including testing Teams integration, Kanban, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
It seems to be missing some generic icons for networking and apps such as servers, switches, and databases (yes, there are various packages for Cisco, AWS, Azure, etc., just no generics.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before I was always creating maps and diagrams on my Mac during calls with my offshore team - the problem was I'm the only Mac user - so no one else could interact. There are no Windows tools that work as fast as Mac tools in this space (i have both machines for work). Now my entire team can create and collaborate visually as well as create reference documents that are more easily accessible than Sharepoint
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are a lot of collaboration tools available. If you and your team think & communicate visually, have both logical and abstract thoughts, or handing off to different timezones, as my teams do....this is it. For us, having Jira integration wasn't a must, but it was the icing on the cake. The template options are expansive AND very useful. We can go from a brainstorm concept to something valuable in a matter of mins compared to using a whiteboard option or powerpoint.
Collaborate on almost anything
What do you like best about the product?
The sheer number of possibilities of what Miro can be used for and the ability to collaborate efficiently in real-time on any of them. it’s one of those tools where you are unsure how you managed without it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the output cannot be controlled visually and you are reliant on the objects in their toolset. If you are a control freak then you may not like the fact you are reliant on the shapes, fonts and colours that are pre-built into the app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Miro for so many things it’s impossible to list them but here are some examples:
Design thinking workshop collaboration
Service blueprint visualisation
Documentation for wireframes and UI design
User flows, screen flows, process flows (so many flows)

Recommendations to others considering the product:
You may need to reconsider how you work and allow yourself to give in to the collaborative tools here instead of relying on old individual ways of working. There are tools that do some of what is available in Miro but there are very few tools that do everyhing.
Overall it's pretty good!
What do you like best about the product?
The real time co-working part, and the quick prototype part
What do you dislike about the product?
The format sometimes is hard to adjust when people are working together.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Group working project and brain storming
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I like the sticker notes, but try not to click around too much cause you might accidentally change something your teammates created..
Great tool for team collaboration and individual brainstorming
What do you like best about the product?
Love the ability to do live collaboration sessions. Love the ability to keep expanding the board, i.e. do a quick sticky note session then move straight into wire-framing in the same board. We use Miro both for live sessions, but also as an archive of past planning sessions.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost can add up if you need to bring in large numbers of outside contributors. But very cost efficient within our internal team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest problem we've solved with Miro is having our team collaborate in whiteboard sessions while working remotely. We haven't found another tool that comes as close to replicating the in-person whiteboard experience as Miro.
I also like using Miro for individual brainstorming/mind-mapping. Sometimes it is just easier to throw all the ideas in and be able to arrange and rearrange, vs. working in a doc on or paper.
We've also created a board with all of our website elements as blocks, so our team can use Miro to do quick wireframing sessions.
Overall, I would say that Miro has been one of two tools that have been most instrumental in our team making the switch to working remotely / partially remote.

Best tool for digital pinups and creative timelines
What do you like best about the product?
Miro lets you see everything you want to at once and lets you edit it in real-time, super easily. For studio projects, group and individual, I have created displays upon displays of work with images, texts, videos, and links, with absolutely no problem. I am convinced there is no better product for this service.
What do you dislike about the product?
Exporting sections of Miro can get a little bit difficult if you have such large boards with so much content.This may not be possible, or may have since been implemented without me knowing, but it would be nice if Miro boards would keep a running list of the corresponding files on your laptop, or even update in real-time. like Adobe is able to do with special objects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro has helped my creative process in model building and additional exploration as an architecture student. I can record any tangents I choose to investigate, from varying graphic representations of models to the work of artists covered in studio. Miro also makes casually sharing things digitally possible. I don't have to create a final set of pinup boards to share what I'm doing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think Miro is a valuable product when working between physical and digital mediums. I think Miro is best used as a. tool for both visualization and documentation of things that may not otherwise be simultaneously viewable– keeping up with documents and digital versions/scans however is really important to perfect this sort of work flow.
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.

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.
