Amazing collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is an excellent tool for immediate online collaboration. The "infinite" whiteboard, the easy-to-use interface, and the simple but powerful tools it provides all make working with it a joy rather than a struggle - which is too often the case with powerful tools like this. One of my favorite features - which coincidentally, is also the feature that sometimes annoys me the most :) - is the ability to see each other mouse cursors while we're editing the same document. Although distracting, it can be instrumental in certain situations.
What do you dislike about the product?
Because Miro tries to be an all-purpose tool, its user interface can sometimes feel overly complex. Some features are overly emphasized (e.g. creating a Jira issue from a card) while others seem to be a bit neglected (e.g. manipulating the z-order of elements). We've also had some issues being able to see the results of a voting session. Having said that, these are very minor issues overall and can be easily overcome with a bit of practice.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Miro for various team activities like brainstorming sessions, mind mapping, sprint retrospectives, software designs, flowcharts, gathering user feedback and even doing simple presentations. Even our organizational chart has a Miro board (although obviously, it's not the source of the data) simply because it makes view the organization - or parts of it - at a glance, a breeze.

Give it a try; it's easy and free.
Why I choose Miro
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Miro is the never-ending feature set that allows you to do just about anything. Most importantly, because I work on an all-remote team for software development, a whiteboard is indispensable. Miro does an amazing job at this. I can collaborate with my co-workers in real-time to quickly and easily express complex ideas that would never make sense with just words alone. Back to the feature set that Miro offers... Because it is so feature-rich, I can use it for a variety of tasks, from quickly sketching up ideas that are meant to only last the brainstorming session to drawing up complete system maps that get embedded in the documentation of the software. I guess to sum it all up, just about any activity that involves collaboration takes place in Miro: Class maps, sprint planning, user journey, story maps, or just plain whiteboarding.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish they had better shapes to create class maps. I still use Miro to do this, but it takes some effort to make the correct boxes that are required for a UML class map. Other than missing some pre-built shapes to make various types of diagraming easier, I think Miro does an excellent job.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem we solve with Miro is how to effectively collaborate with team members when everyone on the team is remote. Miro is perfect for this because it allows everyone to share and collaborate and plan simultaneously. And it just works. The most impactful aspect of Miro is that we can have a planning session that starts with whiteboarding, and then come back later and continue to refine what we are working on. Unlike a real whiteboard, you don't have to erase everything before moving on to planning the next feature. Having everything stick around helps us plan further out in advance and not lose anything that was talked about.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro works really well and you won't have to worry about data loss or the app crashing on you (has never happened to me thus far). Given that it's reliable software, it completely solves the problem of remote collaboration. Also, it is feature-rich; there are honestly features in Miro that I have not tried yet. I have been using Miro since it was RealtimeBoard and have gotten two different companies to purchase company accounts when they saw what I was doing with it. I always recommend Miro for a collaboration tool because I have been using it for so long, and it has never failed me and has all the features I need and more.
Amazing tool for collaborating online!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the simplicity within Miro - controls are very intuitive, and there is not much of a learning curve.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not much to dislike - some minor things like the ability to drag & drop images, from browser to Miro directly would further imrpove the user experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using it for all my whiteboarding needs, such as brainstorming and running collaborative workshops.
Excellent tool for organizing thoughts and research
What do you like best about the product?
As a student, I'm always looking for new ways to visualize the connections between ideas that I learn in lectures and through research - and Miro is perfect for this kind of big-picture learning.
What do you dislike about the product?
I often wish to integrate online worksheets/PDFs I need to annotate into my work on Miro, and there's no easy way to do so without separately uploading each PDF page.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Linear notes don't work very well for me when I'm approaching a new topic, so Miro helps me organize what I learn and structure papers in a more free-form way. Collaborative ideation is also a plus.
Definition of the perfect collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
Easiness of use. Continuous improvement. Collaboration enabler. Shared understanding.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have anything negative to tell, the improvements are regular and everything runs smooth
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration with remote team players. Centralized tool to contribute whenever we are available

Don't hesitate!
Awesome tool for visual collaboration in real time
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is the best tool I've used for visual collaboration in real time. The features just keep getting better and easier to use. Miro makes it possible for all team members—regardless of skill level—to participate in any project.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the features aren't as intuitive as they should be. For instance, I couldn't figure out how to get back to the simple arrow select tool from the hand tool until a colleague told me; this should be a quick and easy task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My team and I can collaborate on wireframes and other projects in real time. Anyone can start using Miro right away. It's mostly intuitive and user-friendly to the point that very little prior software knowledge is required to realize a range of benefits.
Everyone can see the whole project on one screen
What do you like best about the product?
I love that all teammates and stakeholders can see all the various bits of a project on one screen. Instead of storing sections of a project in lots of different docs and folders, I can add everything to one whiteboard, organise it neatly and share one link to everyone involved. I especially appreciate the freedom to choose from many different tools, shapes and post-its so that it's easy to customise content to suit each individual project.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's easy to accidentally move things without realising, especially when lots of people are collaborating. I also wish I could embed videos on a board.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's made it much easier to plan and organise projects, and keep all stakeholders updated. Stakeholders don't miss out on any important sections and don't have to keep track of multiple links.
Stunning Collaboration Experience
What do you like best about the product?
Working with colleagues simultaneously is great so far. Problems can be understood and solved easily by seeing and reaching every aspect of them. We have finished so much work by using Miro.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing could be cheaper, couldn't integrate many people as we want due to budget constraints. There is no bug or errors so far, nothing to report about negative side.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a team, we have the ability to see these understood projects before us now thanks to Miro. Working on projects collaboratively without any problems is a huge must now.
Awesome tool
What do you like best about the product?
As a service designer, I can't imagine working without this tool anymore. For some activities, it even replaced some Adobe programs. It's an excellent tool for workshops and online collaboration.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not a particular thing that I dislike about Miro, but sometimes clients don't want to work with it due to security reasons (and that's a problem since I believe there's no good alternative that is more secure).
What would make Miro even better:
- When you bring people to you on the board, there's no 'release button' to let them unfollow you (competitor Mural has this feature)
- The Adobe XD plugin is a nice idea. However, I don't use it since the resolution is not good enough. It would be great if Miro could improve this, so that I can start using this plugin, which would make my work a whole lot easier.

Facilitating online workshops would be much harder without Miro. It's a very accessible tool, which makes it great for online collaboration.
Great experience with Miro
What do you like best about the product?
It's a very intuitive and colaborative tool, that even the least experienced people in our team can easily learn. It's great to be able to share documents that everyone can work on and edit in real time.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are so many templates to work from, which is great, but most of the time I usually go with a blank one to start from. That being said, I find it hard to look for templates that ajust to my needs (but maybe I just need to look more into it?).
One other thing ir that I would like to costumize the size of the sticky notes,

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The need to have a collaborative tool where everyone can work on, share and discuss ideas at the same time. It's very quick to open and work from, even with more people working on the same document. That way, we can be having remote calls while everyone is working on Miro, and not be sharing the screen to show some specific document (that helps with connection issues and the trouble of having to not down ideas from everyone, as each person can write down their own inputs).
