Incredible collaborative tool for the first steps of design process
What do you like best about the product?
The way I can create a lot of boars and put things integrated, links, etc. And work in a collaborative way.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like so much the tool for prototyping, it is too limited and has some problems
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use miro to see everything that I gather from each new feature I'm building in the same place, as I could do in a wall, but better because I can put links, videos and quickly revisit everything about that. But the thing that I most love about it is to manage those boards together with other designers, PMs, engineering and use it also for presenting what I found, the open questions and my ideas.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is like an intelligent wall on your remote work. It can really help you in your work. Use it to visually see everything you know about a product, competitors, features, ideas, questions. It's easier to work when you see everything that was in your mind, in a board.
A very flexible and collaborative tool
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility to design clear visual items, add post-its, and so on. And it is fun (easy to add images, colors,...)!
It is very easy to use, to navigate in the virtual workspace, by swiping and by zooming in and out.
There are a few useful feature like a timer, a feature to bring everyone's screen to the same location of the virtual workspace (very useful when you get lost).
It is also possible to define the landing page for collaborators to automatically arrive where you want in the board (e.g. an "introduction" space).

What do you dislike about the product?
It is an additional tool that comes on top of other tools like OneNote, Teams' whiteboard,... but its features are worth it.
I regularly accidentally moving an object without meaning to, sometimes without noticing what I did.
The downside of the number of features is that it can feel a it overwhelming. It takes a little bit of learning time to know where the useful features are.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows collaborating in real-time on a same visual a little like we would at an in-person meeting.
For example, as participants you can put up your photos with a bit of presentation. This point is even better than in-person meetings where it can be challenging to remember everyone's name and their info, whereas on Miro, you can go back there and look at the photos/names/presentations.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking for a tool to help compensate the distance between collaborators, especially in this time of WFH and lockdowns, Miro could be the tool to help create proximity for real-time collaborative work.
Easy to use, constantly being updated and good support and community
What do you like best about the product?
Super easy to learn and use but not lacking features. Integration with tons of apps make it even more powerfull.
The large community and shared templates provide with inspiration and tons of examples to quicky start a new project
Free account also provides enough features for small and ocasional users.
Very good performe either in the webapp and windows aplication.
Smarter than most other option, with the formating and default option being intuitive and easy to use.
exporting is also great, the only improvement would be to sort stick notes by color when exporting to excel.
tables are great and also easy to manipulate and timers are very usefull.
Voting works well, but still could be improved
Mindmapping i also usefull in some situation and is very capable.
overall very happy with my consultant plan. tons of options for a good price

What do you dislike about the product?
As a consultant working with clients and organizing large workhop I miss the fact that there is no "god option" so you block the canvas and everyone just sees what you see, you can still bring people to your "screen" but they can still go off and get lost in the canvas.
One option to temporary block the canvas and make everyone follow you would be a great add to the presentation mode
blocking elements on the canvas is still a cumbersome process especially if you have a lot of elements. would be nice to have a filter to select all the stick notes or all the non editable elements for examples. also i feel that it would be easier to have a layer approach instead of elements.
Videochat works good but still no option for rooms creation

Extremely useful & versatile brainstorming software 💪🏻
What do you like best about the product?
So many different options, possibilities, templates, ... to be used to address so many different types of business situations
Also totally FREE as 'single use' allowing newcomers to really dive into it & use it for personal use.

What do you dislike about the product?
Not sure I've gotten there yet ;-)
Perhaps the only thing is that there's sooo many types & templates to use that it's sometimes difficult to figure out which one would be best for what you're trying to achieve. But that's merely a 'luxury problem' ;-)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently using it (by myself) to work out a completely new business concept. Once we will start with the development of this new concept, will DEFINITELY be switching to multi-user to involve the (initially external) developers & the team to further brainstorm & work out the more fine details of certain aspects.
But Miro REALLY helps in visualizing all of this!

Simple to use and collaborate
What do you like best about the product?
I use Miro to create complex workflows. It has a rich collection of elements that help me create an easily understood workflow. It can be easily shared across the team. We also use Miro for online collaboration. The latency is almost zero even when a large team is working in real-time. Overall, it was of great help to me to running whiteboard sessions for group meetings while everyone was working from home. We use Miro even when I was at the University to have brainstorming sessions for our group projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
The export and download option of Miro is not intuitive. There should be an import option where non-miro content could be uploaded. I do not like its pricing model. For e.g. Free plan users can collaborate on 3 of the most recently created boards.

Good for creating user flows and flow charts
What do you like best about the product?
This platform is so Awesome! It is so easy to collaborate with team members and cost-efficient. It offers so many features which are fully customizable. Few things I like the best are:
1. The facilitators can bring everyone to the same place with just one click. Given that miro offers a pretty huge board, it's normal for the team members to wander around. This feature makes it so much easier
2.Provides a user-friendly interface and great user experience when you want to create a new board or flowcharts. It also offers pre-defined templates like a kanban board, mind mapping, quick retros.
3. Can create multiple workspaces and the onboarding access is so simple and intuitive.
4. It really does not need any technical skills to use this platform.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the export option to PDF and word documents does not work but it's not necessary to import every time.
It would be really good if miro introduces the paint feature and tools for creating simple wireframes.
It can have few other collaborative tools integrated like slack, teams etc.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. I am getting very intuitive insights from the miro app with the upgraded version. I am able to make business decisions in an easier way.
2. I am able to collaborate with other tools like Google Images and icon finder which makes it easier to import other images.
3. This has ownership rights which makes it easier to collaborate with other external team members if I have to give them the "Only-View" option.
4. So easy to add connectors, sticky notes, frames which are helpful in making my sketch look neat.
5. There is an option for writing a "note" or "to-do" list.

Not a perfect product, but powerful and continuously improved!
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is highly versatile and powerful in terms of features - it is perfect for product management. What really impresses me is, that Miro constantly takes user feedback into consideration and works hard on adding value. I have been using this tool since 2017, when it was still realtimeboard and it has improved A LOT! Also the customer support has always been extremely nice and helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
A lot of usability issues in handling of on board elements (esp. post it's, tags & arrows). Unfortunately Miro does not yet handle very big (a lot of elements) boards very well. It tends to be somewhat slow and laggy at times. Also, if you decide to scale things to different sizes usually it is not very easy to keep the same shape. Tables and graphs are a little too basic in my opinion. The color system should be widened and based on hex colors to personalize properly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
User Research (interviews notes, task modelling, proof of concept testing, affinity mapping etc.), Road Mapping (a lot of great templates!), Prototyping (sufficient libraries for most basic purposes), Workshops (interactive and exclusive organization is really easy like this and a lot of tools and templates make it fun, fun, fun!) - It is remarkable, how for a product manager you can use Miro for so many things! I is one of my favorite tools.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take your time to explore and keep discovering Miro has tons of gems to offer! And really consider to use the desktop version - it runs much faster and is way more stable!
Great Experience using Miro
What do you like best about the product?
The best of Miro is the freedom that you have to organize your things. Also, all the templates that you have, all the tools are handy.
I like all the tools for colaborating like share access to a board, presenting, or even follow someone on your team.
I like all the tools for colaborating like share access to a board, presenting, or even follow someone on your team.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think something that it can improve is that you don't have a scale of sizes, like what's the right size for a presentation or for any activity. Also something that I think is missing is status of things, I mean you have the cards but they have a lot of information, and if you need something like a check, it could be a good thing have a button or something like that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The process of start designing, doing mood boards or looking for references. The communication of everyone I think is really good, the way you can share things, or doing a sketch is really easy.
Tonic for a 'virtual' business world
What do you like best about the product?
The infinite canvas is great for people who just want to get stuck into a project. The vector based graphics allow for almost infinite zooming. The keyboard shortcuts are very useful to get ideas and concepts down quickly and the large number of templates make it easy to build on other frameworks. Its a must for visual thinkers. The smartphone app is quite usable also. Integrations with Monday.com and other CRM software make this easy to fold into existing workflows. Miro is the best tool I have found for collaborative outlining, whiteboarding and most importantly, visually explaining projects and concepts. It allows everyone in virtual meetings to get to the same page quickly and makes focusing on stuff easier. The real-time collaboration and input features are very well implemented and executed and the various input types allows me to understand which visual method resonates best with certain staff and/or clients.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the mindmapping feature should be fleshed out. We don't use this aspect much because you cannot hide branches etc. What could initially be perceived as a downside is the "yet another digital tool to learn how to use" argument. However, the pros here outweigh the cons on this. Getting others on board with tools will always have challenges. Other than that, there is very little to complain about here.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro solves a core issue which is getting everyone focused on the same stuff. A lot of staff are visual thinkers and miro is directly replacing our office whiteboards, post-its etc in a virtual capacity. The infinite canvas allows to to quickly build out projects, or copy these en-masse to new boards. The key benefit here for us is the way a tool like Miro can break down complex project items to simpler next steps from which we build our actions list. Its 'open' structure means you have a lot of control over how you visualse work. This is important for the afformentioned visual thinkers amongst us. Once we have something presented in a way which resonates at staff or board meetings, we make this a template. Its really that simple. great!
Fantastic tool to on-line collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
What I like the most is the simple way to create content and interact with teams of professionals. It allows you to make very good schematics, diagrams to structure complex systems. You can create many types of tasks and activities to collect and share ideas from many professionals to move forward together. Being a huge blank slate, you can design everything you need on it. The templates are also very good, canvas, schedules. It may seem silly, but the timer is very useful when you have many people distributed, working at the same board, but communicating by video call, divided into smaller rooms.
What do you dislike about the product?
When working with many people at the same time, I find it difficult to prevent other, less experienced members from unlocking and moving items on the board. I miss being able to block content, that only the creator of the board can unlock.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were able to move our annual strategic planning process, super-fast, online. The results we obtained, despite the improvisation, were rated by the participants as excellent (none of us knew the tool and we learned to use it very easily). It is also very easy to extract evidence of the work that is done in miro, to have information, to remember and review next year.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro has been a great discovery for our organization :) It has been key to addressing the change to online management of some of the most critical activities in our organization's leadership. After the Covid, I do not doubt that we will continue to use it to share knowledge, gather ideas, and collaborate between teams.
I recommend that you try it in the free version, you will quickly realize its value, and you will want the paid version ;)
