A powerful tool for creativity
What do you like best about the product?
I am a teacher in a high school and a formator in different kind of seminaries for educators. I have used Miro to collect the experiences of the participants.The result was great, very clear, and at the same time, pleasurable to be viewed
What do you dislike about the product?
I had at the beginning some problems about the use of templates: they are really many and maybe it is required a little bit of time and experience to use them properly. Obviously it is a richness but, especially at the beginning, it is easy to get lost.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The major problem I have solved was to find a way to collaborate in real time, an accessible tool, not too challenging to be managed by the participants. Miro offered all these features together

Best White Board solution I know
What do you like best about the product?
As a facilitator, moderator, and coach I need an easy to access whiteboard tool. Miro is exactly that. It allows true collaboration and has a myriad full of options and tools to make the board work just the way you want. Of course this comes with one disadvantage: you’ll have to teach your participants a little bit, how to use the tool. But I found a ways to do that in under 5 minutes and even with some learnings outside the sole Miro experience (e.g. “Introduce yourself with pictures and emojis”.
What do you dislike about the product?
As mentioned already, introducing fresh participants into Miro takes some time. Still it’s 100% worth it, unless you only have less than one hour time. And some tools are not yet as functional as I wish they were. But knowing the development speed of the Miro team I guess this is only a matter of weeks until it all just works fine.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used Miro for an international workshop series that wouldn’t have been possible in these Corona times. And furthermore I do not expect to have this conference in the next years in presence, because it saved us so much time and money to use Miro instead of bringing 200 people from all over the world to the headquarter.
Great Organizational & Collaborative Tool
What do you like best about the product?
There are tons of templates to choose from, so I can find something for every need. I'm a PM, and I can go from a brainstorming session to a team's task list.
What do you dislike about the product?
There aren't predecessors for Gantt charts. That's the one downside. I can do pretty much everything in Miro, but I have to use a separate tool that allows predecessors to update the timeline.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Brainstorming sessions are an essential part of our business. Since we can no longer meet in person for a whiteboard session, Miro provides the tools we need to be effective.
Business Consultant
What do you like best about the product?
Miro has been very effective to allow for productive and fun teamwork and team-building exercises for our remote team. Our organization recently used Miro to plot our business model canvas, and we all use the boards for various project workflows and brainstorming. It is a perfect solution to visually map our thought process, and stay connected as a team. The boards also serve as a record of our projects and workflows which has really helped with keeping the team on the same page, onboarding new members, and optimizing project elements. I have tried other virtual whiteboards, but Miro seems to be the best in terms of the range of templates (we especially love the startup templates through our work with entrepreneurs), functionality, and aesthetics.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I dislike about Miro is when someone has an entity selected on the board it grey's out and is hard to read. I think it makes sense to show when someone is selecting something, but greying it out makes it tricky to collaborate in real-time because it hinders visibility for others. There is also a bit of a learning curve to get used to all of the functionality of Miro, but that is to be expected, and most functionality is intuitive. The only other issue I have found is that it's hard to navigate to the events page, or Miro home page once you have an account. I would add an events/ community/ webinars button to the dashboard page so teams can easily access and know about that valuable content.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving teamwork, brainstorming, and project management hurdles with Miro. We used to work in the office and since being remote Miro has helped with keeping us all connected.
Excellent collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
Miro has an intuitive UI which new and guest users can pick up in a matter of minutes and this really helps us when running remote client workshops. There is a comprehensive and regularly updated suite of templates, third party integrations (like Slack and Jira), and tools to support remote collaboration and Agile ways of working. I prefer the desktop app over the browser and the user dashboard is an excellent way to organise our Miro boards across projects and teams.
What do you dislike about the product?
Over time, boards can naturally grow very large (especially if using lots of images and attachments) and navigation becomes unwieldy if not organised. Performance can also slow down slightly at this point, given the amount of information to load in.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro with all my project and products teams to improve our collaboration and for client facing workshops of any kind. There are so many types of remote activities you can run in Miro, including ideation, voting, retrospectives, backlog refinement, user story mapping, release planning, etc and also as a long term digital wallboard for our projects, products and continuous improvement activities. I would say the two most benifical aspects for me personally, as someone focussed on Delivery, are firstly the abilty to make work more visual and interactive and the ability to ideate and brainstorm with colleagues and clients using digital post-it notes and quickly convert that information into Jira issues directly from the Miro board.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There's plenty you can do on the free tier to get yourself accustomed to what's possible with Miro. I would encourage those thinking about adopting Miro to dive in and play around with some templates like a personal Kanban or try a retrospective template with colleagues to get used to the features and functionality.
Great for remote collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
miro is intuitive and easy to use. We love that it works with images, text, and seamlessly helps you collaborate. Direct links make gathering references easy. Both our clients and students find it an invaluable tool. Love the free education offer.
What do you dislike about the product?
It does take up a fair amount of memory and you need high speed internet. We're ok, but some mind find that a problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Brainstorming remotely is easy. The templates help me get things going quickly so I don't need to overthink things. Collaborate with clients is easy and fun. We used to use design software but then we'd fuss about the way things looked which distracts from the content development and only one person could edit at a time, and the graphics do generally look great. This tool allows us to focus on the content first which is great. With the free trial, it's easy to have clients join without major barriers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Super easy to use, great collaboration tool. Seamlessly links to other similar platforms like google docs. Love that it works with visuals, words and links.
Best Collaborative Tool We Use!
What do you like best about the product?
I like that my team can work in real-time together. It's intuitive and fun to use when brainstorming.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would love if we could play music while we work through MIRO.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are scoping huge projects. We use MIRO to plan out all of the content on our app. It's been really helpful to visualize the work and dependencies that exist in our planning.
The BEST tool for engaging, transformational, effective online teamwork
What do you like best about the product?
Miro has made it so easy to move my organization's trainings and workshops online. The user-friendly functionality, interactive tools, and "infinite possibilities" whiteboard allow us to collaborate just like we would in a room together.
What do you dislike about the product?
One improvement I would like to see is the ability to separate and organize my various boards more thoroughly. I have dozens and dozens of Miro boards and while these can be organized into projects, I haven't seen a way to more clearly put them into different "workspaces" for faster navigation to what I'm looking for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have solved the problems of making Zoom trainings interactive and engaging. In a time when many have said they are tired of Zoom/online meetings, we receive consistent feedback that our meetings are "the best....better than any other online meeting/workshop I've ever been to." There are also wonderful integrations with to-do lists, calendars, google search, and other tools to make syncing between tasks and objectives seamless.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is best in community! When taking a look at Miro, give it a spin by working on things with others/in a group. This way you can explore some of the best tools, like brainstorming, collaboration, timers, voting, etc.
Useful, especially for those who like to process things visually.
What do you like best about the product?
I map out processes, and also do some mind-mapping.
What do you dislike about the product?
A lot of features are geared toward software development, which I don't do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to map out processes for multiple projects helps me stay organized, while not confining me to a task management software.
Miro — office not required
What do you like best about the product?
Our go-to software for almost everything digital. Miro has been truly one of the most important tools in our company.
What do you dislike about the product?
Occasional downtime, especially during live workshops
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is literally replacing our physical office while erasing international borders. We use Miro for workshops, notes, ideation, mind mapping, prototyping, and even project management.
