Miro is the best tool for the job!
What do you like best about the product?
I absolutely love the integrations with other apps for Miro, but the best thing about Miro is how easy it is to pick up for all kinds of users. You don't have to be a pro to create and edit, but there's plenty of opportunities to create messy, neat, organised, disorganised chaos, whatever floats your boat! This app/web app is so versatile, I'm obsessed!
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the integrations can be clunky, but this feels more like a problem with the supporting parties rather than Miro. Microsoft Teams for example was a long-winded setup that didn't really make much sense, but Miro's guides were on hand to assist!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
User research analysis is at the forefront of my work, but even hashing out team and squad organisation and planning helps by using Miro. I love the ability to share this work so seamlessly!
The BEST flowchart / workflow diagram design app: great looking, easy to use and collaborate
What do you like best about the product?
- Intuitive and easy to use: both for experienced or beginners users creating diagrams (mind maps, flowchats, workflows, funnels, and so on) it's incredibly easy to use. The overall user experience it's amazing. You can easily move around combining your keyboard and mouse for zooming in, pan, duplicate and connecting items or groups.
- Contextual menus gives you additional control for styling, creating links or arrangening items with layers control.
- Fast: never lags, no matter how big your diagram and how many items it has, always workf very fluidly.
- Looks great: suggested color palette and shapes looks consistent and you don't need to work too much on styling the items. As a Design Manager, this is a plus, since many other diagrams apps I have used in the past looks a little bit outdated.
- Shareable and easy to comment and collaborate: for me, one of its beast features. As a previous user of offline apps (like xMind Classic, which I used for many years) Miro allows you to easily share and collaborate in real time. Clients and team members can add comments, that can be used as tasks, or just to mention anyone in the team.
- Frames: excellent option for showing or hiding certain parts or segments of your diagram, very useful for presentations.
- Not just for diagrams: and finally, Miro's great not just for diagrams; you can also use it as a wireframing tool. Includes a library of UI items that the wireframing process, both for Web and Apps design.
I've been using Miro for about 6 month's now, and I know it has so many other features I'm not even aware. More than a mind map app, it's a full ecosystem to support your planning, thinking and design process. Very happy so far :)

What do you dislike about the product?
Not that I "dislike" but things that could improve the experience:
- It would be great if it could include some sort of auto-alignment option. You can align your items manually, but when I have too many items, I could use some feature that could arrange all of them using some sort of rule for separation, vertical and horizontal alignment.
- Wireframing library UI items could be a little bit more extensive and include more components.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Mind map diagrams creation: flow chart, sales funnels, launch phases diagrams.
- Structure ideas and team collaboration
- Wireframe creation, mostly for web design

The experience is very clear, objective and has many organization possibilities.
What do you like best about the product?
What I most like is the sticky notes, because it helps me to remember and organize my ideas. In addition, it helps with team planning and insights. I also enjoy to use the agile workflows, because it helps our volunteering projects to be clear and full of collaborative ideas.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I don't like is that sometimes when you drag the board to go to another part out of your sight, it just messes everything up. I think it's the only experience that wasn't clear to me at first. Now, I understand that I need to go to settings and enable the navigation mode to do it properly. I think it could be better, so I don't need to check it all the time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problems with organizing the team in specific projects or on our daily work. What we should improve, continue and stop to evolve our work. Miro has a significant impact on our work cycles, volunteering projects and on ourselves as professionals.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Always check settings first to enable what you want in the experience. On the other hand, the platform is already quite intuitive and full of possibilities to help youand your team to be organized.
Very versatile and useful collaboration tool for planning, brainstorming, training...
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is an incredibly versatile tool that I've been using in a professional setting for a bit less than a year now, and it has been extremely helpful for several of our internal workstreams and projects. Whether we are planning a brainstorming meeting to conceptualize a new project, we want to keep other team members updated on our current activities, or are implementing virtual trainings for stakeholders in a different continent; Miro has done wonders to helps us visualize, clarify, conceptualize and present ideas and thoughts. I'm pretty confident that I will continue to use Miro in the future, both in a professional and on a personal capacity!
What do you dislike about the product?
You definitely need a mouse to use Miro, and unless you are working with a larger-than-laptop monitor, the tutorials and helpful messages will make it hard to view the board. Also, when using the sticky notes, I frequently misclick the option to create an arrow when I only want to change the sticky size!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Planning projects, letting my colleagues what I'm doing, capturing the thoughts and discussion of a group, teaching
Miro is miles ahead, it's faster than my brain, unlike Lucid or Mural that just slow me down!
What do you like best about the product?
It works at lighting speed, so intuitive
What do you dislike about the product?
Struggling to import big PDFs from lucid
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are running full service design, discovery, remote workshops, problem framing, service blueprints, design thinking workshops, collaborative workshops, retros, roadmaps, low-fi collaborative team wireframes, user testing analysis. It just works, it's smooth, sleek, mega fast, we can onboard easily and scale without being punished or blocked. It's secure, and after 1.5 years using Mural, and 4 months struggling with Lucid chart/spark, it's honestly lightyears ahead. I can load multiple files, massive complex files that in competitors, I would have my memory eaten up, crashing computer, ice-age speed loading. There's a reason almost everyone out there uses Miro, it works how it should do and support don't tell you that your breaking it because it was never intended for heavy use, Miro asks for more! It's taken a lot of convincing to switch, but so enlightening to see something so responsive, something that fits like a glove to everything you do and everything you possibly could do!

What do you dislike about the product?
day passes, the reason being is sometimes our teams are sharing boards that are to viewed only but when one of our members click on it we are then charged for them since they do not have a full licence and only need to view boards not edit.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've used it to solve alignment across the business, for example making flowcharts for a particular issue and having the team adhere to it so we are all reading from the same book and all customers receive the same level of service

Making Remote Workshops a Possibility
What do you like best about the product?
I find Miro exceptionally easy to use, and there are so many use cases. Initially, I started using Miro purely as a whiteboard tool (the Skype and Teams option was rubbish), and this provided a great user experience to both colleagues and clients. I then found more and more use cases for Miro, such as mind mapping and wireframing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing springs to mind as Miro does everything that I need. Or at least expect from the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest challenge was "How do we run remote workshops with our clients?". We use Microsoft Teams, and when we investigated the whiteboard for Teams (Skype), it was really sub-standard. We've now made Miro the standard for facilitating remote workshops. Colleagues and clients love it!
Collaboration is the key
What do you like best about the product?
I love the way we can work together with our teammates, even if they are not designers. It's a simple but effective tool.
My most common uses vary from design presentation to charts, team calendars, flows, voting sessions, and much more.
I've used another software with the same functions, but it was not handy as Miro.
The interface is also very intuitive, making non-users adapt to the tools quickly and creating the perfect environment for workshops with clients.
Yet, I also use Miro as a personal organizer: I can create my work schedule, vacation planning, etc. I love the way we can work together with our teammates, even if they are not designers. It's a simple but effective tool.

What do you dislike about the product?
It is not a dislike, but it could allow us to create different shape masks for pictures, like circles or stars.
Sometimes the connection can be unstable, and the autosave doesn't work as it should.
A helpful feature for the future would be embedded videos and the possibility of playing them on the interface without the need to jump to another page.

Great for ADHD people,
What do you like best about the product?
As an ADHD student, miro helps me to structure my thought and keep me inside of some crazy Rail trail

What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve, sounds not comfortable for me in the first hours.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Engineering problems as complex projects and big ideation meets. I see it as a tool that works as a second brain, with free style
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its a really useful app, with new ways to structure your thoughts.
Fantastic platform for team collaboration, process documentation, and much more!
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is incredibly slick with a modern design (compared to competitors like Mural). It's also very easy to navigate, the platform is intuitive and robust with a bunch of features. It can be used for a number of cases such as team onboarding, workshops, brainstorming sessions, wireframing etc.
Additionally, the tool is ever-evolving with new useful features being continuously added.

What do you dislike about the product?
- The pricing plan is a little steep
- As robust as it is, the platform itself is not enough for the whole task management. One would still require tools like Google Suite, Jira/Trello etc.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro helps me visualize processes, which is incredibly useful to see the whole picture. I love that the canvas is infinite.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Familiarize yourself with all features Miro has to offer, watch a quick demo, dive in, and play around to get the hang of it.
