Collaboration Tool at its finest!
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Miro allows me and a team of UX designers to collaborate in real time. We have worked on brainstorming, sorting data from research, empathy maps, and personas all in one session. The fact that Miro can allow drawing of shapes, sticky notes, text, etc all in one platform, I feel as if I am in an actual office space doing a workshop. The fact that you can do all this without being on-site is the best part.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, there is nothing I dislike about Miro. If I had to say anything, it would be to create more templates or tools to collaborate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem that I solved with Miro is allowing others to access information while I am editing. The benefits are that while we all can be whiteboarding, it will enable everyone to input information and ideas, furthermore increasing our thinking capabilities at the time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try to open yourself to utilizing it for anything even moodboards for your home design etc. The possibilities are endless
Like being in front of a whiteboard with superpowers
What do you like best about the product?
Miro offers superb flexibility to express your thoughts in any thinkable visual way. It's an "invisible" app that doesn't get in your way but seamlessly let's you collaborate on a project, in a magical, seamless experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
What can be a challenge is getting familiar with an infinite whiteboard, and what zoom level to start off on.
Also boards tends to get heavy over time and require proper cleaning hygiene, which if you don't pay attention to will grow out of control.

Remote collaboration build for visual thinkers
Miro has turned around my Team Management skills
What do you like best about the product?
What I loved about Miro, apart from being very easy to use, is the ability to innovate, control and interact with my team. With the collab tools that the software is providing, there is no excuse not to have fun and do a good job!
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing shines out particularly, but I would like more agile Costumer Support.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ever since the pandemic, we have needed a platform that would keep our integration and interaction at its peak. And Miro has given us precisely that.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider the switch from your current platform. Miro is agile, easy, and concise.
Miro, an incredible tool for collaboration in learning processes
What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility, one of the characteristics of a board, lies in the ability to offer multiple environments in the same space, this is something you can do with Miro. You can define what each team member sees who participates in a learning process. It allows this to be fluid and guided. Additionally, with all the templates available, you can create any type of session.
What do you dislike about the product?
For now, only the fact that after building a set of slides, being able to reuse them in other sessions (it may be because I haven't yet learned some of their features that serve for this). I think creating templates would solve it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The dynamic interaction among all participants in a session allows me to see what everyone is doing. They can exchange information among themselves and with the facilitator. I can use it to leave some kind of assignment, and they can access it whenever they are able to.
The multi-tool of collaborative software
What do you like best about the product?
If I ever have a thought that I cannot work out how to express, I know that I can start brain-dumping into Miro, and I will easily be able to rearrange and refine my thoughts into something clear and easily shareable. As a product manager, having access to so many different templates is invaluable; I am all for re-using concepts that others have found helpful, and Miro has a brilliant way to make this easy. I enjoy using Miro to work with colleagues in real-time and asynchronously; it's a very powerful tool to capture people's ideas and to enable a group of people to work through concepts together to reach a solution. I'm also a sucker for making diagrams pretty or fun so being able to search an extensive icon library or simply copy-paste images into Miro means I can do this in no time at all, and I don't feel like I am spending time on frivolous things. There are so many good things about using Miro that it's actually hard to keep this to a reasonable length! I find creating flow diagrams in Miro so intuitive, the same is true with mind maps. There is an extensive capacity for formatting in this tool, enabling me to make even complex diagrams clear and even attractive. Frames are a great way to separate information into digestible chunks while still keeping it within the same board and making it so easy to present or share with others. Exporting images in different sizes is so useful, and I have used it so many times. I have both professional and personal accounts because I find Miro invaluable in both aspects of my life. There are so many other joy-inducing features, and I can't begin to express how sad I would be if I couldn't use this product.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be very easy to create too many boards and split content across different locations, causing confusion and duplication. It is also incredibly easy to put too much content in one place which doesn't belong in one location. I think both of these issues are the same with things like wikis and filesystems as well, and it's as much about the users as it is the tool. I wish that I could add more icons into the library because I do often find that I don't quite have the one I want, but equally, if there are too many for a specific search term, then they can be hard to sort through - perhaps a different method for finding them would help.
It can be hard to tell who has added content to a board, such as post-it notes, as the tool is so collaborative that anyone can change anything. The purple highlighting to say what has changed between accesses is something that I don't find helpful generally although I do like to know who has been changing things and what they have touched, it's usually too much and makes it so that all I can see is purple, so I just turn it off. I would like there to be a better way to assign post-it notes to individuals for things like retros/workshops etc, so that you can see who created them in perpetuity.

Best online collaboration tool I've used
What do you like best about the product?
Quick to set up a new board. Lots of default templates, but great flexibility to set up your own as well. It has been very straightforward to adapt our business processes to incorporate miro in our day to day tasks, agile meetings such as retrospectives and planning as well as tracking task progress on boards
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like people to be assigned default colors when joining a board as it can get a bit chaotic at first.

The best mind map app on the internet
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is one of the best for creating fast and logical charts and maps.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the elements are clipped by default to some blocks, and moving them becomes pretty hard because they want to stick to that default setting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Since I started using Miro, my workflow for creating presentations and visualizing large quantities of information has become simple and more effective than ever before.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get the full version to extract the most of the platform.
Miro allowed us to collaborate and sync effectively while we work remotely
What do you like best about the product?
It is relatively easy to create templates and organize workshops that empower the engagement of the participants. It often serves as the "history" of how decisions were made and used to develop drafts of roadmaps and timelines.
Miro is also an excellent tool when it comes to retrospectives and feedback sessions. It is extremely helpful that many templates are available to use.

What do you dislike about the product?
While working inside a new board is straightforward, organizing your work has a lot of room for improvement. We use miro as a company and I am able to create a space for my own team using the project section. Nevertheless, after a year I have created more than 50 boards and I would have created at least 50% more if there was a sufficient way to organize boards inside a project. That it would allow me to create cleaner and more targeted boards.
While I enjoy the in-Miro calls feature, it is necessary to have the ability to use blur background since it is the standart in similar tools and working from home has proven challenging for many people.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to brainstorm, plan and sync with my colleagues on different topics using different types of workshops and setups. We are also able to run design sprints entirely remotely. Design sprints are very challenging, but we managed to set them up in Miro, and I could honestly say that the experience of the participant and
their engagement increased.
Working remotely is challenging, and using Miro helped fill many gaps in our communication and improve our flows of creating Product.

Miro makes sense of complex operations.
What do you like best about the product?
I love using sticky notes to plan operations. Using a Miro board takes complex information making a mess in your mind, and allows you to turn it into a clear flow of ideas that form multiple processes. The templates are excellent too, and the icebreakers are fun!
What do you dislike about the product?
Miro takes a little while to get used to as it has specific keyboard shortcuts. But the training videos quickly teach you what you need to know.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro is helping me plan and track marketing campaigns. I've been able to identify gaps in a workflow that I couldn't see before and execute ideas more effectively.
Easy way to plan and visually communicate!
What do you like best about the product?
I really love using the Mindmaps. My chaotic thought process looks so nice and structured anyone is able to follow along.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't add people in my Org to a board till they have signed in at least once.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I did a knowledge transfer/Training for a complex role in about a week. I could make timelines for things that fit timelines, tables to define terms and roles, and flow diagrams for how to manage various workflows. My trainee was able to ask questions on certain areas and I could answer or build out any new visuals needed to answer. Rather than build out a massive training and make clean slides I just send anyone with questions to my board, so much easier! I was trying to push how hard getting a method identified to my project team for months, but a flow diagram from Miro, and suddenly I had realistic timelines and support in the right places.
