Miro has changed the way I work
What do you like best about the product?
I like the countless possibilities to live out my creativity and to be able to use it for my clients and workshops. I also work much more interactively with my clients today. I use Miro very often to collaborate with my clients asynchronously. This opens up new possibilities for collaboration and increases the quality of the results.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it happens that my clients also use a Miro account. In such business relationships we work on both accounts. Unfortunately, I cannot temporarily connect these accounts even though both participants are licensed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro to collaborate with my clients. As an alternative to flip charts and face-to-face meetings. This involves different problems such as simple brainstorming sessions or more complex workshops for retrospectives or, for example, the development of strategies. I also use it for trainings, which I conduct online in groups. It provides an excellent opportunity to start the collaboration before the actual meeting. This increases the quality and is more efficient.
Great platform for collaborative team work
What do you like best about the product?
What I like the most are the templates. Still, I like almost all the features. I've adapted my work to digital since the pandemic and Miro is that platform that helped the most on this adaptation. The best part, there is no physical post-its overuse.
What do you dislike about the product?
Maybe sometimes I can't find a template I want but that is really an opportunity to design it and share it.
Also, taking your work from Miro to Excel, Docs or Slides should be easier.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working collaboratively online. Making our work more dynamic and easy. Being efficient. Definitely, I'm more productive.
Miro is a fantastic resource!
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is such an intuitive and easy-to-use tool, which in my role as Head of Customer experience, makes customer mapping so straightforward!
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, depending on how big the board is I've created, it can be tricky to include this all in an easy-to-share photo or PDF format.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Customer mapping has been such a win since using Miro - it keeps all of the team on the same page, ensuring that our efforts are placed in the right places in order to prevent churn and ensure engagement.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try and integrate this into your organizational culture so everyone is using the same tool and productivity can be increased across the board.
Collaboration space that works
What do you like best about the product?
Planning a meeting that shows complex concepts in diagram form is a breeze with Miro. A recent online workshop went well because of the meeting timing features that allowed me to keep things on track.
Diagramming tools like snap to grid and connectors between objects make for legible diagrams with little effort.

What do you dislike about the product?
The terminology around projects, teams, and accounts is somewhat confusing but a minor irritation in the grand scheme of things.
Table rows are limited at 50, so when creating a tabular year plan for a week-by-week view of the year... 52 weeks and a header row were not possible.

A must for online collaborative design thinking
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is easy to use, intuitive and best of all, comes with an app for both mobile and desktop. Even the mobile app has most of the functionality of the desktop app. Easy to invite others to collaborate and a complete library of free templates to get you started from workshops and ideation to use cases. Search works well for any text captured on the board and the "bring to me" function brings users to the correct spot on the board in record time.
The extent of the tools within Miro is great - text, stickies, symbols, IconFinder and a firm favourite from a design perspective - the Wireframe library. Mind map works very well and being able to make connections between the respective elements is useful. Visually, it is appealing and modern and it has helped tremendously in preparation of design sessions.
Miro integrates to Microsoft Teams, which is a huge plus.
A must for all design thinking lovers, project managers, business analysts, strategists and anyone having to facilitate team sessions these days. The upside for facilitators is that all input is captured and you no longer need a project administrator to sit and tediously capture stickies after a brown paper excercise. Boards can be shared, saved and exported for later use. These are just some of the basic capabilities.

What do you dislike about the product?
After signing up, the code took a while to arrive. The Google image search is currently disabled, which is a pain as text, icons and emojis no longer fill the need. Having to copy and paste from Google slows down the brainstorming process. If you do set your navigation mode to use either mouse or trackpad, you need to remember to reset if you changed. I still need to find my sweet spot in terms of zoom % when setting up a new board, but this will probably come with time and use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been able to gather input from a large team in a very short time using the sticky notes and what normally would have taken a few sessions over a couple of days, were achieved in an hour or 2.
Keeping to the time allocated with the use of the timer is effective to stay within the allocated meeting time. Participants who have missed a collaboration session could easily access the board after the fact and at a glance, pick up and add input. Recap at the next session is easy with all input being available from earlier sessions. It improves productivity and it sparks ideas being able to visualise the discussions throughout. Using the content from Miro in later presentations was very helpful and nothing had to be re-captured. Content remains familiar throughout the collaboration process to design & product.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't just look at Miro, sign up for the trial version and use it in a real collaboration session. Use it over a couple of days and with that, the benefits of the application will be evident. Read some reviews and input from current users and have a look at some youtube videos to see the extent to which Miro could be utilised in a variety of circumstances. Having worked with it for the first two weeks, I could not imagine working without Miro in the future. Uptake from others in the organisation has been great as a result.
A great whiteboard
What do you like best about the product?
I love using Miro to create detailed process flows and project timelines. The templates are a great help when starting a new whiteboard so I don't have to start from scratch every time even if I want a different look and feel to the flows/timelines.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd add more universal icons, so it's easier to group them according to look/feel instead of various icons, which doesn't add value or design quality to my presentation materials.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quicker to actions, I like to be quick and efficient while creating my materials since I am working in a time critial environment and the project are always time critical.
Meets everything that is required by an early stage tech startup
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use, the collaboration and the intergrations to jira.
The variety of templates that is available can help us think and build products and design GTM strategies

What do you dislike about the product?
At the moment , we haven't seen / explored much, so it would be a bit early for the same.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are just getting started,even then I see two to three fabulous use cases
1. We are constructing our NA GTM strategy
2.We are collaboratively working out CFT goals
3. We will be shortly collaborating with clients on building our next software solution

Great product vision mapping and collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
It is extremely easy to use with great UX. The ability to collaborate with peers is perfect for product boarding and vision mapping. I used miro extensively in my product planning.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing as such that is missing. However I will definetly love more feature capabilities related to tables in miro. Right now, it is very basic and does not allow using tables effectively.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mainly being used for product planning, user story mapping, etc. But we have used miro for almost all phases of product dev, from sprint planning, to retro. This has helped in improving the alignment between teams.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great tool. I have used mural, jam board and others before, but this would be the best bet.
Game-changer in the remote facilitation space
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is so intuitive that everything becomes clear as soon as you use it. I love how modular Miro is with a wide selction of templates or through the community Miroverse which allow me to create highly engaging workshops. The timer (with music!), voting and summoning features are all my go-to's and I'm starting to use the selection of easily integrated apps available one workshop at a time!
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish we could have a "release followers" feature to stop people you've summoned.
I wish we had more visibility on which elements of the board are heavy and might cause longer load time or automatically resize them.
But nothing I dislike!

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
User Journey analysis to understand the user better, Product Ideation to get the most from your team at the same time, User Testing to easily capture feedback, User Onboarding flows to identify pain-points, hackathon/event planning, client/project planning, strategy development through mind-mapping to organise multiple information streams, Design Sprints to test ideas quickly on target users.... and campaign planning.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it to get to know the tool - start with a Lightning Decision Jam for a meeting or a team-building excercise with Build a Monster or Board Race it's the quickest way to get your team hands-on!
One month in and I have a team of over 30 using a Miro Board daily
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can create templates and load them to the board on frames. It makes building the board each day more streamlined.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not being able to update an Excel spreadsheet live within the board.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Miro for teamwork collaboration, process improvement, process mapping, clustering to enable actions using sticky notes and tags and the "clusterizing function", and enabling a collective location to onboard new team members quickly and effectively.
