Like Visio, But Good!
What do you like best about the product?
The simple yet effective user interface allows for quick and easy additions, plus the easy way of collaborating as a team means you don't have to wait for updates from colleagues. I also like that the system is clearly under constant development, with helpful changes and additions most weeks - which are always helpfully documented so you know what new features you now have.
What do you dislike about the product?
The collaboration function is excellent, but the license model is a little confusing (very similar names, if nothing else) and can be awkward. For example, a "Free" board can be collaborated on easily, but a board created by a Pro user can't have collaboration from Free users without that being "temporary" - they don't get to save access to the board on their homepage, which is a frustration.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is being used for various forms of design and collaboration, from ITIL process development to the design of AI/ML logic and troubleshooting.
Great tool for brainstorming and general visualization
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Miro provides a real-time tool that you can use to collaborate with teammates remotely. I personally love to use whiteboards when working with teammates, but since we're all working remotely, we can't do that in person. Miro lets you do that. Not just that, but you can also use it to visualize personal tasks and to create your own innovative plans.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's really nothing that comes to the top of mind, but it may be beneficial to be able to collaborate with individuals not on your own Miro account. It may be possible, but collaborating with partners at different companies would be interesting.

Pimp up visual collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Many themes to choose from to have a ready base. Initially very simple learning curve, so it is easy to use. Remote online discussion improved. It is providing inbuilt features to use instantly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Limited shapes are available for Diagram. Standardized UML shapes are not available. There are glitches that sometimes you need to restart your browser. The export settings/options are few and unclear
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro allows you to use a simple tool for remote workshops. Its intuitiveness allows anyone to work on it immediately without having first received training. Miro has all I want in a single tool: - works online - storage for PNG drawings, like a library - works nice with my pen tablet - wide variety of colors - control over background color and contour color - work with text and geometric figures - connect objects - group elements - fix elements and lock them in the background.
Great flexible collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it's pretty much just an open space real time collaboration tool. The miroverse offers lots of useful templates to get started. The UI takes a little getting used to, but there are great online resources to learn how to use the pace of a board, as well as tips for icebreakers to get your collaborators up to speed.
What do you dislike about the product?
Like I said, there's a bit of a learning curve. Not everything is immediately apparent, and you'll sometimes find yourself clicking over and over to select the right item.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's been an online whiteboarding tool mostly. Group ideation, double-diamond activities, and even some activity tracking. Basically anything you'd use a whiteboard for--aside from freehand drawing--you can do pretty easily with miro.
Astonishing solution for online meetings, collaborative thinking and creative processes
What do you like best about the product?
All kinds of collaborative processes as well as creative thinking "on your own" is supported by Miro in a well designed form that is even suitable for using it as documentation for the customer.
What do you dislike about the product?
As a consultant "on the road", the possibility of working offline without an internet connection would be helpful in some places, even though this would mean a throwback for the possibility of working on a board together.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Distibuted team work and facilitating virtual meeting or workshops
2. Supporting creative processes (wireframes etc.)
With Miro, our capability for providing our consulting services digitally has dramatically increased.

A new presentation way
What do you like best about the product?
After using Miro I started to present my projects in a new way, a more accessible and interactive way for my managers and co-workers. Besides that, everyone in the company domain can access and use my work as a reference to build theirs.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like to add my Miro board to the company's Sharepoint, and there's always an error occurring - don't know if it's Miro's or Teams' problem. Besides that, on Miro I can't click twice on top of a form and have a new post-it. This feature is different from Mural which you can block the shape and use it as a background.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My job doesn't have an endpoint, I always have to add new information so my co-workers can consult to complement their projects. Miro helps me to add informations on board easier than PowerPoint and in a more excellent layout.

Miro in consulting
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is quite intuitive. I really love the graphical user interface. We used it heavily when working with clients on solutions. We create system flow charts and charts that make it easier for our team and clients team to implement/follow. There are amazing templates available and they have the ability to embed videos which we really love.
What do you dislike about the product?
While there is a plug-in for Jira integration, there is a lack of enough documentation on setting up the Apps and best practices on how to use them. Setup is a bit cumbersome and I ran into issues where it just kept loading. Hoping improvement here could be a huge help in the industry going forward.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We heavily use Miro while consulting and brainstorming with clients. In this pandemic when everyone is working remotely, this has been a blessing and makes it very easy to communicate.
Miro is super helpful for mapping workflows!
What do you like best about the product?
The product itself. it makes work easier it's easier than using other platforms. I used to work with powerpoint, and worked so hard on fixing the UI, and with Miro its just so easy to create everything!
What do you dislike about the product?
its a bit buggy, I found myself trying to fix the arrows many times and just couldn't work it...so I give up and just do it the way it is. i would also love it it would automatically correct my spacing (align automatically)- would save me a lot of time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
part of my job is to map the work processes of other organizations, and I find it super helpful to map the workflow that way. I can later show my customer what I understndood and when they see it visually they can tell me if I understood correctly or not.
Very useful tool to quickly visualize concepts, collecting Ideas and making mind maps
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use quickly draw and connect shapes with text, navigate and zoom. Creating diagrams with miro is much easier and faster than doing it in, e.g., PowerPoint.
The performance is, overall, excellent (i.e., as good as can be expected from a browser-based application). It has improved since I have first used it. The templates help to get started with specific needs.

What do you dislike about the product?
It is not easy to create elements that have a common font size. The font size adjusts depending on the element types. For example, post-its vary font size by default to fill the shape. They can be set to have a fixed font-size, but this also depends on the dimensions of the shape. What I would rather have is an option to have an absolute font size (optionally with the shape adjusting in size to it).
This might not be a problem for miro, where people are used to zoom in and out, but definitely is for exports (e.g., PDF, PowerPoint), where you only have one zoom level.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
* Visualize ideas and concepts
* Quick planning (visualize flows and dependencies in a project)
You get much quicker to a usable result than with other tools (e.g., PowerPoint) because the handling of shapes and connections is much more intuitive (and just works!). People were able to use miro without any introduction.

Easy to quickly build visual stories and share with colleagues
What do you like best about the product?
It's nice that it is actually one big canvas that you can fill, like an endless whiteboard.
I use it to create roadmaps, create an overview of my research and present Sprint reviews to stakeholders (really like the Jira plugin for this)

What do you dislike about the product?
In the beginning, I was struggling a bit with the navigation, moving around the canvas was such a pain I almost quit using Miro. But then I found out I had to change the navigation from 'mouse' to 'trackpad' and it was way better!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
First problem I solve is making research easy to share and explain to stakeholders; since it's easy to add images and links, you get a good overview quite fast. Besides that we also solved the problem of non-interactive sprint review sessions by using Miro; it's fun to ask people to leave comments on sticky notes with emoji during the meeting
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use plugins like Jira and Figma to create an easy overview of everything you're working on. Tip: use it as well for your team retrospectives, it's fun to collaborate, add pictures and everyone can directly contribute, my team really likes it.
