So far I love using the program
What do you like best about the product?
It is very intuitive and pleasant to look at. It is easy to make charts on the spot during a meeting. It is very easy to track all the changes that the different team members made on the charts as well.
I used Miro both as a board owner where I created flows and charts, but There were times I was a participant in group training sessions where Miro was used as a platform for collaboration. It had some handy features like timer, background music (if needed), embedding videos. It is great to see that our training sessions use tools like this and gradually getting away from the dry powerpoint presentations.
I really like that different templates can be dropped to the board at any time, as I do not need to invent the wheel if I want some cool additions to my boards.

There are some features which would be a nice addition. The link below refers to one I would like to get implemented.

As someone who grew up using MS office and tools related to that, I sometimes struggle to find what I am looking for. That is less of a problem with the interface itself, it is still very intuitive, I just need to get used to it.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it for brainstorming sessions as well as planning out processes. I am not financially benefitting from Miro. Collaboration between different team members on virtual calls is a great option.
To be honest, I enjoy using other programs such as Powerpoint and Visio, but I find them clanky in group exercises. The ability to have multiple users build something together is great, and the built-in templates are saving me a lot of time.
I am still finding new problems that I could tackle using the program. I did start with simple charts, but now using them for:
- Process planning
- Mapping system architecture
- Redesigning the internal ticketing system
- Creating user journey maps
- Building out Business requirement Documentations
All in all, I think that the tool looks really slick and easy for the eye. Even when the board gets humongous, there are easy ways to navigate across the board. I am not sure if there is a feature to bring all the users at a given point in time to one slide/point on the board if you are doing a presentation and they get sidetracked and wander off.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try watching the instructional videos. It is a great help to understand the capabilities of the tool. It is not overwhelming but still very informative.
Very good collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
A complete team can be working in the same boards/diagrams/template at the same time.
The user interface is very friendly and very flexible. The "post-its" or diagrams in which we are working can be resized to fit best what is needed.

What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the fact that I can't copy stuff from other boards and that only some of the shapes are available in the "free" version. I would also like to see easier ways to grab printscreens to share with other people.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro to visualize flows in my daily work, to explain the organization of our teams visually, and to run the Scrum ceremonies. The templates available in Miro are useful.
Great whiteboard for preparing my language classes
What do you like best about the product?
Miro (online whiteboard) helps me to prepare my Brazilian Portuguese classes with fun first of all to myself.
Most of the people do not know that to teach is most of the time a lonely process. You are not always surrounded by people and talking.
As a teacher you do a lot of research, reading, writing and collecting data in order to make our classes more enjoyable for the students and for ourselves in the long run. We also do not want to get bored talking the same way as in the past 10 years!
I got to know MIRO through Google research during the pandemics in May 2021. As I was giving classes with Zoom and Skype, I tried to make it more enjoyable with images and to give structure to my classes.
Now I am going through my papers, because I am moving out, and I see how much we accumulate with papers. Then I am digitizing my documents and class material and I will use some of it with MIRO.

As I am not a full-time employed teacher, I cannot afford the premium version.

Tried many but loved the smoothness & friendly tools . Even my students prefer it than any other.
What do you like best about the product?
The copy and paste option. The smoothness, concept maps, templates, the ppt preparation, moving around the board .... It's an excellent magic whiteboard.
What do you dislike about the product?
Still the tools for math teaching like a compass, ruler, bisector , equation writing options missing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Peer teaching, Assessments, PPt presentation. Sharing, annotation, copy & paste. Hide and tell with sticker, link sharing, locking the slides & history.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Please try the friendly collaborative whiteboard platform for teachers and, most importantly, for students. Found it very good in peer teaching, assessments, presentations, reviewing, checking history, disciple, a delegation of tasks, innovative methods for assessments by sharing the links for google forms, the use of sticky notes, chats, feedbacks, the slides sharing, brainstorming and endless whiteboard. I have used other apps, but they do not hold this level of performance.
There is no other collaboration tool i would rather use than Miro - it's so easy and intuitive
What do you like best about the product?
It's honestly the easiest software i've ever had to use and most of our clients can pick it up in minutes. They almost always love it. Even old timers can get to grips quickly
What do you dislike about the product?
There could maybe be a better selection of fonts and other 'clipart' or 'icons'. I also feel there could be more music choice selection for timers along with easier access to gifs
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Any workshops, particularly in our ideation space, we use Miro and its brilliant. Having a digital capture of post its is infinitely better than the old approach of a million post-its on a wall.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do it, it is infinitely better than Mural and Whiteboard
My meetings are 100x more productive (and fun) with Miro
What do you like best about the product?
I love the templates. They've actually taught me new brainstorming techniques and given me ideas on how to run my meetings. Also, the UI is slick, clean and a joy to use. Much prefer it to Mural.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really want a private workspace! I know you can technically make boards private by not sharing them, but I'd prefer a dedicated space for them. Every time I make a board, I'm thinking "is someone going to stumble upon these shitty half-baked ideas by accident?".
Also, I don't love that I have to be redirected to a browser to see all the templates. When I was browsing the template gallery, I almost missed the CTAs at the bottom: "Discover more Miro templates" and "Explore community templates", which made me think you didn't have any more. Basically, I'd like to see all your categories within the template selector, without having to leave the tab.
Lastly, I don't like that you have to type in peoples' emails if I want to give them editing access to the board. I want to be able to give everyone at the company editing access through the "anyone with the link can..." dropdown. Right now, I can only let people comment or view, which is a bit annoying.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I don’t just use Miro as a dumping ground for existing ideas—I use it to spark entirely new ideas.
I'm new to running brainstorming sessions, so I rely on Miro's templates to inspire me. I'm confident that my meetings and brainstorming sessions would be way less productive without Miro.
Miro also helps me organize my own thoughts and conjure up new ones. I'm not a designer, I'm a writer, so I always assumed my brain digested words better than shapes. But Miro's easy-breezy interface has opened up a new world of visual brainstorming that's never been accessible to me, a non-visual person with zero design skills.

Great collaborative tool for remote work
What do you like best about the product?
Miro allows users, particularly non-linear thinking users, to be able to quickly visualize and share their thoughts in a virtual whiteboard. Has more icons and functionality than mural, but the UI stays clean.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing that I dislike. It would be great if it eventually has an offline mode for working on airplanes though
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Brainstorming with colleagues, putting together documents that are not written, creating tech stack maps for sharing and documentation, and for creating user journeys and flows.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would use it, it helps with remote work.
Using miro for group dynamics
What do you like best about the product?
I used miro for a group dynamic to identify what is the role of the QA in the development process. Miro was really easy to use and all the people enjoyed the experience. We could define topics for the roles using post-its and the idea of the meeting become really clear with this action.
What do you dislike about the product?
I found some trouble using that feature where no one can see the names of the other viewers for that meet. But I confess that I have low experience using miro, so probably when I start to use it more I will have no troubles.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problems solved:
Designing flowcharts to understand how a feature works.
Understand the attributions of someone inside a role in the company.
Understand the flow of an android app.
In the past, used to design mindmaps
Benefits:
Good design
Fine colors
Easy to use

Great Collaborative Tool for designers and non designers
What do you like best about the product?
The thing that I like the most about Miro is its simplicity. The design is user friendly, which means that colleagues that are not designers, feel comfortable using the tool and are not intimidated at all. It's interface is user friendly and has very cool features like adding tunes or voting.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am struggling to think about what I dislike. I probably would say that normally when you select templates, the preview looks very nice from a design perspective and once it is converted in the Miro board it does not look as pretty.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am enhancing collaboration, promoting transparency in the company and a place that is easy to access.
An indispensable, unique, workflow-essential diagramming tool
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is a best-in-class tool for collaborative whiteboarding. As a software product manager, I use this tool extensively for analyzing business logic, transactional flows, technical architecture, and process maps. It can also be used for lightweight wireframing. Miro has had an incredible impact on my ability to communicate creative ideas to teammates from across functions – engineering, design, and operations/business. It's just really indispensable and I recommend it for all product managers.
What do you dislike about the product?
My only downside is that Miro's user experience for announcing new features in-product is a tad aggressive (a modal that comes up over the whiteboard). I wish it were more in the background.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Clarifying data models; clarifying business logic; clarifying system and software architecture design; user journey and user persona mapping; thinking through edge cases.
