Great for remote brainstorming sessions
What do you like best about the product?
It was effortless to get started with Miro as most controls are straightforward. The real-time collaboration features work great and really helped us capture and share ideas with our clients. The graphic tools provided for diagramming are enough for quick documentation during brainstorming sessions. Templates and icons for wireframes also proved very helpful for early prototyping. The presentation mode is excellent for professionally showing results.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is no way to access previous versions of the boards, which meant that we lost some of the older ideas along the way. Arranging the frames on the board during a busy collaboration session is not automatically supported in any way, so you have to do quite a bit of "tidying up" afterward. We couldn't find a way to export only selected frames in pdf, so every time, we were forced to export the whole board and then edit the file ourselves.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro made remote brainstorming and prototyping sessions much more efficient. Moreover, documentation of workshop results has proven easier due to having everything already in a clear digital form (no need to decipher poorly scribbled notes and post-its)!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Worth considering if you hold remote collaboration sessions. Use the free version first, then see if you need a paid plan.
Do you miss the physical whiteboard when you are in remote training or workshops? Try Miro!
What do you like best about the product?
Infinitive whiteboard. +25 people are working simultaneously. Connection with Jira and confluence. Access to edit to all participants without the need to buy a licence for each one. Drag and drop of videos and pictures.
What do you dislike about the product?
The usage of frameworks is not flexible. I have tried using the roadmap framework, but I can not change the text size, for example. It happens with all frameworks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As trainer and coach, I perform workshops and need to work with others with giant whiteboards. We do not have a whiteboard now; then, we use Miro to solve the problem. Other problems we solve are timekeeping, comments, voting, estimating, etc. Miro give the opportunity to make the event interactive and full of life.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
When you deliver training or workshop and there are participants with no experience with Miro, add an ice breaker exercise in Miro to allow them to understand how to use it.
Intuitive, Versatile but slower loading on larger diagrams
What do you like best about the product?
I love Miro's intuitive nature that made setting it up easy without much training. I appreciate its ease of use, allowing me to effortlessly share diagrams globally and streamline my discussions by converting complex ideas into visuals quickly. The integrated search helps find necessary resources like icons and pictures effortlessly. I also value how Miro stays ahead by recreating components, offering excellent price-to-value.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find that it is lacking some speed now and then, especially on larger diagrams. Additionally, i had an issue when components were all linked and start resizing and moving all together, which seems to require optimization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro to translate words into visuals, saving time and facilitating clear communication. It allows me to share diagrams globally with ease, enabling immediate discussions on actual issues rather than lengthy explanations.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Dont think to long about added value vs cost. Try it and find out if it works for you and your teams.
A powerful space for any task
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is a core tool in our collaborative workspace, supporting both online and in-person sessions. We use it extensively for design discovery, with a dedicated discovery template that allows each designer or Product Owner to quickly kick-start a project. This approach ensures consistency across teams while still giving the flexibility to adapt and expand using Miro’s vast canvas.
Its built-in tools integrate seamlessly into our workflow, helping us capture ideas, structure projects, and accelerate delivery. The balance of structure and freedom makes Miro an essential part of our design process, enabling collaboration at speed and scale.

What do you dislike about the product?
While project grouping helps, keeping boards organised at the top level remains difficult. Navigation feels unruly, and it can be challenging to quickly locate the right board. There are tools to organise better, but I feel they could implement a journey to help with this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our use of Miro centres on tackling design problems. We start by defining the problem, gathering input and resources, then wireframing and displaying the design outcomes. The tool makes it easy to show our process clearly—from early frames through to final UI.
A key benefit is the ability to keep previous designs and iterations on the board. This not only helps us tell the design story later but also allows us to revisit ideas that may have been overlooked. Stakeholders can review and contribute asynchronously, meaning discussions and feedback aren’t limited to a single meeting.
One of the most valuable aspects for us has been writing and refining user stories directly in Miro. This collaborative process enables the team to shape both the problem and the solutions together, which has been hugely effective.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get people onboarded with something fun, like a good retrospective. But I think people will come to the platform naturally, It's just got the tools you need to think in a space.
Miro is a great tool for sharing ideas and collaborating with your team.
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is easy to use and extremely effective when it comes to bringing your thoughts and ideas to life. It makes it fun to work with a team whether you are planning sprints, project timelines, or hosting a brainstorming session.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the MindMapping function. It was a bit hard to use compared to LucidChart.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro makes it easy to visualize and compare designs across multiple campaigns. You can import from multiple different sources and it makes it easy to download and export your creations. It is also easy to create shareable links with others, so they can view, comment, or edit what you've created.
An absolute must in your toolbox
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to set up and facilitate workshops. Miro is also very useful to secure ideas and work them out. What I love the most, is that you can create boards with all kinds of inspiration, canvases, plans of action, and so on, and share it with others.
What do you dislike about the product?
Folders don't have a link (you can't link to folders) and you can't add (little) text documents.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organize workshops and secure ideas. For this last one, the ideas, the benefit is that you can place images, video's, PDF, bookmarkts and ideas on post-its all toghether. Too bad there is not a really good way to stoer advanced notes (for documentation).

It won't let your MacBook run wild (CPU and its cooling fans)
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.

I recommend it to cross-functional teams, especially if they involve designers and other stakeholders, also to conduct workshops.
A Solid Teaching Tool with Room for Improvement, even if you still use NPS ;)
What do you like best about the product?
I use Miro primarily as an online whiteboard for teaching and organizing my thoughts. I really appreciate its interactive teaching format, which is ideal for developing ideas with colleagues. Miro offers a shared space where participants can engage by moving sticky notes, sorting information, and working with templates, making collaborative work much smoother. I find it particularly user-friendly and straightforward; even a brief five-minute introduction helps others navigate it effectively. It's a clean, efficient online whiteboard that enhances collaboration significantly.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find it challenging to locate my boards within Miro, especially since I work on multiple projects across different accounts. It's often difficult to find the specific board I need, as the organization and visibility of my most important boards, or collections, don't always align with my needs. Some of the main collections or folders tend to become invisible for unexplained reasons, whereas others that I rarely use are easily accessible. Additionally, there used to be no way to search for boards across different accounts or folders. This lack of comprehensive search functionality is particularly frustrating, as it forces me to manually jump between accounts or folders to locate what I need. I wish there was a seamless way to search and access all my boards in one place, at least by title.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro for teaching and organizing ideas, benefiting from a shared space where colleagues can interact by moving stickies and using templates. It's easy to use, making online collaborations clear and efficient.
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.
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.
