What do you like best about the product?
It's pleasing to look at. You don't have to create an account to use it as a visitor. I love the bulk mode. The follow me option is great.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have difficulty with understading the percentages at the bottom. I'm never sure why it's a certain percentage.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm working on developing activity programs. I also use it to map out my own research privately.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Play around with the different functions and get to know it well before using it with clients.

The best tool for creative team work!

  • May 04, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
This is an amazing tool for creative teams. The fact that you can have a video call and work on the boards in realtime works so well. In our organisation we produce large, complex exhibitions and Miro helps us all have the same understanding of where we're at. We can work both with text and visual production, and when work gets intense, like in the run-up to an opening, the fact that we can send quick comments or confirmations to each other on the board makes the workflow seem supersmooth.
The presentation-tool works really well - you make frames directly on the board, and you can custom your frames to suit your presentation needs. This was everybody is looking at the same area of the board when you are working remotely.
Collegues who are not involved in the main project production are able to have a look around on the Miro-board and quickly get an understanding of both core-elements and an overview of the complexities of the project, and pick out the bits that are relevant to them.
Yeah, cannod reccomend this enough.
What do you dislike about the product?
If there was anything to dislike is the cost. But it's worth it! You pay for a yearly subscription and after that per seat on the board.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problems we are solving has to do with the various levels of large scale exhibition-productions. Without Miro it is difficult to get a grasp of the complexity and many levels of understanding, but in Miro you could do a quick sketch on a board to explain your meaning. Just like picking up a pen and paper to explain an idea in 3D quickly. This is essencial in our workplace.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would reccomend people in the museumworld to have a go at using Miro as a collaborative tool. It is so vísual so it serves the purpose really well when you ar working with visual production.

Unearth real insights through Miro collaboration

  • May 04, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The ability to create frameworks easily using simple graphic tools. This then provides a fantastic opportunity for genuine collaboration. As an Innovation Lead, it's easy for me to visualise ideas and then bring the team through them. Working together it's easy to keep iterating in the Miro platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not being able to see everyone on the video call option makes running workshops a little tricky sometimes. It would be great even to spotlight the person speaking if we can't see everyone at once.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Visualising ideas
2. Roadmapping innovation
3. Iterating ideas
4. Workshopping remotely
5. Developing product frameworks
6. Hands-on collaboration digitally
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would absolutely recommend Miro.

It has enabled us to do everything from run remote workshops to full week-long sprints with clients. This was the primary reason we adopted Miro but now members of the team use it daily for their own individual purposes like idea generation, mapping, diagraming and road-mapping.

It's incredibly powerful. The one watch-out on workshops is that you cannot see all users at once, i.e. if you have more than four users on a call. However, Miro also keeps adding new functionality like the recent addition of "reactions", which also helps with running workshops.

If you're someone who needs powerful but clear and nicely designed diagrams or mindmaps, then Miro is the right tool for you. The important thing about this too is the ability to simultaneously work on a mind map with multiple people at once. Happy diagraming!

Priceless for remote work

  • May 04, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Super quick and easy to work together on all kinds of collaboration from initial ideas, through to detailed designs. Super smooth usability and helpful shortcut keys let us get stuff done. The shared templates are handy for indicating what can be done with the system.
What do you dislike about the product?
Few niggles on linking lines and selecting across multiple layers. Plus some shortcut keys differ from other standards I use which causes confusion. Font handling when zoomed in / out can be painful - eg, defaults to small size (8) but is actually large on the screen (have to create a group and scale it).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solution creation for users, collaborating on ideas across the team. Having a shared digital workspace makes it easy to all stay in sync and come u with interesting directions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Highly recommended. Well worth the time to get going and use across your teams.

Miro - a great collaboration tool

  • May 04, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Being able to collaborate work with my colleagues and the fast and intuitive User Interface. Additional, the many templates are a great way to get started and onboard new users. The Fremium version offers a solid range of features and is a good starting point for working together with your team and sharing whiteboards.
What do you dislike about the product?
A small detail I dislike is that sometimes users drag items around unintentionally when multiple users work on the same file. Furthermore, the fact that recent changes are highlighted is not very convenient for me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using Miro mainly for remote and interactive workshops with multiple users. Additionally, I have switched some meeting notes completely over to Miro, which makes the interaction way easier. We have also used Miro for our brainstorming sessions since going fully remote. That involves customer journey maps, mind maps and scamper.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would suggest just get started and give the tool a try. It is super easy to understand and with the many templates you even have a starting point.

invaluable resource for workshops during lockdown, and now our go-to platform

  • May 04, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's intuitive and easy to work with. I have run online workshops with groups of people who are not necessarily comfortable with this sort of thing and they all got the hang of it quickly. This is really important because when you are running a workshop, it's the workshop subject matter that you want people to focus on, and the tools should simply be serving to assist with getting everybody's thoughts and opinions recorded and shared, and should not take over. MIRO does this, and in fact allowed us to create new workshop exercises that really got people's interest and attention in ways that you might not achieve in face to face. I can see us continuing to use this platform for workshops even as face to face meetings become possible again
What do you dislike about the product?
One annoying issue with writing text - which I can't quite get my head round. The size of the text box and the size of the font are connected, so when you write the box just gets wider and wider rather than wrapping, and if you try to resie the width of the box afterwards, the text shrinks down instead of wrapping. The only way to get it to wrap is to put line breaks in. This is daft - the functionality should work the way text boxes work on all other programs (Word, Pages, InDesign, Acrobat etc etc)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MIRO meant we were able to carry on with what we do for our clients. Hard to know how we would have run our strategy brand reviews without some sort of online collaborative tool to use - workshops are an integral part of our process, and we needed something that replaced the flipcharts and post-it notes of our face to face meetings. MIRO does that brilliantly.

This is a great tool and amazing value!

  • May 04, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The functionally is amazing, it has a really diverse range of templates and so easy to use as a Whiteboard in meetings, but we mainly use it for graphic representations for change management and strategic development. We use this tool to engage a wide range of stakeholders across the organisation.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only issue we've found is the flashing ad's for external viewers (those that don't have a Miro log in) are very distracting and have been flagged by viewers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visualising the Theory of Change of Our Organisation
Developing work process maps for all our departments
Scoping and Designing of our new CRM system
Visualising the architecture of our new CRM system for staff learing
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Jumping straight in with a project is frustrating but by taking the time the learn the basics you'll get so much out of it.

Miro - Mesmerising, Intuitive, Reliable & Open

  • May 04, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The user experience - it's so intitutive ! It's also amazing for large group tasks and exercises as you can use Miro as a bridge between nations and people. I love that url's have a preview as well - this is one of my favorite features as you can quickly and easily identify information to click into - I now use these instead of bookmarks on my browser. It may be good to look at connecting bookmarks in someones browser to Miro? Or have some form of extension add-on to quickly add them in to a project.
What do you dislike about the product?
Viewing who's in your team could be made easier!
I can be difficult to keep things the same scale - usually we use a sticky note as a reference but it would be amazing if Miro had some form of automatic scaling system to retain a productive and reasonable board size !
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I study Innovation Design Engineering at the RCA and we have been using this for our course connecting students from all over the world working on really diverse challenges and projects. It has allowed us to literally take on anything and collaborate between ourselves no matter where we are in the world.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need to pour your mind into a medium to direct your thoughts this tool is one of the best thing that will allow you to do exactly that!

Very good platform for remote collaboration

  • May 04, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Possibility to collaborate all my tasks in one comprehensive tool. Additional, this tool is straightforward to understand for all my colleagues during all of my workshop and brainstorming sessions.
I can use Miro boards and frames as a metting notes what is very readable and clear.
What do you dislike about the product?
Post-it, possibility to edit and format text. I use post-its to share any comment on my board and text formatting is not very friendly - however, it is slight disadvantage ;-)
Some performance issues when I'm working with a lot of screens and files (both online and desktop versions)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Daily workshops and brainstorming sessions. Additional I use Miro to sketch processes and Value Stream Maps
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider how many colleagues may work with you on one board. Additionally, consider how much information you are using during sessions - too many files, screens, etc., causing some performance issues. Security aspects are also fundamental because Miro is mainly used for collaboration, and revealing some confidential data may be dangerous

A game changer for e newly-remote development team

  • May 04, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The ability to get the whole team to collaborate online.
What do you dislike about the product?
When a new guest joins a board they are prompted to join a team - this is not necessary for many of our users and can be confusing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Moving the team from office-based to fully remote, we lost the ability to whiteboard, which Miro has not only replaced but also enhanced.
