It is very useful to work remotely; it is like being all at the same large virtual table.
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to have several people working at the same table and between them can see their movements in real-time, without delay.I do not know many other competitors, we only compared it with Paddlet, but we opted for Miro because it is easier to use, and has more functions.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it is not possible to download the entire work table in a jpg; you have to make more petite frames. It would be helpful to be able to download in pdf, so as not to lose quality.
It would also be useful to be able to load videos and preview them directly in Miro, (or to generate a sequence of frames like a storyboard, or at least a thumbnail of the video) Currently what we do is put a link to the drive where the video is saved. You have to click the link to see it.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Miro to solve the contingency of teaching graphic design at the university virtually and remotely due to the pandemic.
But we discovered that it is equally possible and has its benefits: For those who live far and not so far away, virtual classes save them travel time (Nowadays, virtual classes allow us to work with a teacher who resides in France, although the university is physically in Buenos Aires, and it also allowed most of the students stay in their hometown, so they are connecting from different parts of Argentina); To save the collective process of the class, so that our superiors can see it whenever they want; To have an express follow-up of the process of each student. It is also convenient to be able to leave sticky notes with comments and corrections. And it also allows students to see their peer's work, and generate an exchange of feedback and ideas and collaborate with each other.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is an excellent virtual platform to create visual projects collaboratively.
Miro is one of my main tools as a product designer
What do you like best about the product?
I like the free-form essence of it. I can quickly create a mind-map while it's fresh in my mind. I use it at least a few times a week to get ideas out of my head and onto "paper." Then I have boards where I collaborate with my teammates to brainstorm everything from branding sprints to mapping out a system for marketing and design to collaborate. It's just really sturdy, and I've used it for many years since it was initially called "Realtimeboard." Fantastic UX.
What do you dislike about the product?
The freemium plan is very limited. I'm used to Slack and Figma, which really give you a lot as a personal user or freelancer, and they make money off businesses. I struggle to come up with any other negatives.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it for our design sprints. That could be for a feature or for branding itself. I recently used it to develop a process mindmap that details how our marketing and design teams can work together. WIthout a visual, it's almost impossible to explain to somebody else. With Miro, I can do it all pretty quickly and effortlessly. Lastly, I love to use it for moodboards.
To Miro or Not To Miro (that is the question)!
What do you like best about the product?
I was a little late to MIRO! I was the "person" that other people shared their miros with. Times have changed... now all 40+ people on my team share their miro on a weekly basis. It is a great way to have a visual representation of their work/progress and to be able to share with The Verse team at large. We use miro for ideation, product development sessions, and onboarding.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sharing of miros across free plan. I wish I could share more miros with others who have a free plan.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visualization of products. Visualization of community. Visualization of game narratives and game mechanics.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I have used a number of whiteboards and visual tools... Miro is the best! Miro is a great collaboration tool!
How Miro is effective for Brainstorming and Record Keeping
What do you like best about the product?
I am a huge fan of how many functionalities and customizations Miro has to offer. Whether it be the ability to present within tjhe board or to collaborate with others, it is an all around great tool. Frames have been particularly helpful when it comes to showing othe rpeople testing results and doing patient interviews.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that there is no way to save a "template" for a cluster of shapes. For example, each day I use the same combination of 3 squares connected by lines (the top square is for the date and test method, the middle square is for the picture and title of the feature we are exploring, and the third bottom square is for the numerical results). The next day I have to copy and paste the previous day's squares and erase all of it's content, then start again which is very time consuming. If there was a way to save a blank cluster of shapes and words that would be awesome.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving the problem of organization and collaboration in our team. With the pandemic, a lot of the engineers who did admin work and not testing like the interns were working from home because their work did not require being in office. This caused a disconnect between WFH staff and in-person staff. Miro helped to breach the gap and provided us with a solution to stay connected. It is also great for record keeping becauyse boards never expire.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is a great collaboration tool, especially for large groups doing a brainstorming session (where the timer, and calling people to where you are on the board comes in handy), presentations (where frames and ability to google image search come in handly) and record-keeping (where arrows, links to files, and timestamps come in handy). I would suggest not over-crowding a board as it will eventually become very laggy due sto many different sections having to load.
Amazing Experience
What do you like best about the product?
As a UI UX designer I utilize Miro a lot for whiteboard discussions, collaborative work, design planning, design feature analysis and a whole lot;
What I love about it is it easy-to-use and low learning curve;
Their helpful tooltip, their very helpful FAQs, the straightforwardness of the tools and how simple but powerful it is.
It even provides wireframing capabilities.

What do you dislike about the product?
My only dislike for miro is how the free version is only limited to three active boards at a time and how I personally feel its pricing is relatively a bit expensive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a UI UX developer Miro is a powerful tool for collaborative work with stakeholders, fellow designers, and clients;
it allows me to undertake my end to end UX research, ideate on product features and develop UI wireframes as well.

Not just a great tool, but invaluable support!
What do you like best about the product?
I love how I can set up a collaborative online session for and with others: the templates are great, and it nonetheless allows me to use my own stuff, too. What I really value most though is miro´s outstanding support team: whenever I have a question, they get back to me in a helpful AND friendly matter. Amazing!!!!!
What do you dislike about the product?
Whatever I have not found so intuitive in the past, was fed back and changed accordingly. So not much to dislike, honestly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work with remote individuals to train them on their entrepreneurial journeys. The benefits were better understanding of startup processes AND peer learning, thanks to the miro boards we were using.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it, use it, and on your way to routine, seek help from your peers AND from the great support team!
Miro - The best!
What do you like best about the product?
I love how I can easily adapt the board to fit my needs and how I want to organize my content. For example, the post-it's feature makes it easy to brainstorm and come up with all the ideas I need for my team to succeed!
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the mouse cursor difficult to use, but that being said there are tons of articles on the community forum that are helpful and can solve my issues. I would also like a bigger selection of templates!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am finding ways to display products we designed to clients in one document in visually appealing way. Beforehand, we used pdfs that took hours to edit and adjust, whereas Miro provides an easy to use platform.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use templates! You will find them super useful. Also, feel free to play around with the sizes of items. The limitless nature of the board means you can go as big or as small as you want!
Start Up Design and Media Studio in the middle of the pandemic - Going great with the help of Miro
What do you like best about the product?
The performance of the service from anywhere on basically any device has been amazing. We collaborated as a team, alongside clients, and consultants virtually for over a year now with people from all over the contiguous US and with our talented artists in India. It made visual communication a pleasure, considering we were working together for the first time, within our brand new startup. Miro is incredibl intuitive with simple and powerful tools for visual thinkers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Since we are making lots of animated content, it would be fantastic to embed video files directly into Miro. I completely understand that it would need to be a premium feature just due to file hosting sizes, but I think it would be worth it to us. It pairs nicely with Vimeo or youtube, so we still can do what we want, but the pure convenience and time saved with draft content for internal review would make Miro more valuable to our organization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use miro for our ideation phase, storyboarding, draft graphics, and posting conceptual sketches, inspirational content as well as scripts. It allows transparency and collaboration in our processes in a non-stressful way on our own time in multiple time zones. Miro is a hub to many of our processes and it's gauranteed to contain the latest information shared between teamates.
Best mindmapping and collaboration tool on the market
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is an easy-to-use cloud-based system has allowed me to represent ideas, create flowcharts, canvas, sitemaps, and customer journeys for my everyday work. It has also allowed me to conduct marketing and technology workshops efficiently, in real-time with collaborators all over the world. The fact that it is also easy to integrate with productivity tools like Jira, confluence and google workspace is also excellent. Its the workshopping tool we use in our company and has allowed us to translate our proprietary methodologies into visual planning tools that everyone can use, share and collaborate on with little to no training.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not anything I dislike about Miro. Everything works as expected and has tons of tools that deliver more than expected. Power users can get a lot out of the software, while basic users can achieve tasks quickly a with great results.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro has allowed online team collaboration with remote employees, co-workers and customers enabling my company to sell marketing and platform developing services worldwide while increasing overall productivity by decreasing back and fort emails and unnecesary meetings. Boards serve as documentation for future projects and onboarding processes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is a powerful tool that can be a part of everyday tasks and procesess like a workshopping tool or as part of planning processes. Its ease of use easily translates popular methodologies (like AIDA, Value Proposition Design, Business Canvas, User Personas, Customer Journeys, etc.) and proprietary ones into a visual way of getting work done.
Excellent and versatile tool to boost productivity and collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
I love the preset templates, it makes it so easy to collaborate with teamates on a wealth of projects amd initiatives. I also love how it's cloud synched, so I can save it and access it anywhere
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the presets are too geared towards product building- this means some of the customisability is limited in alternative applications. I'd really like if I could put photos in and set a vector clipping shape for them (e.g. circle)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've tackled a lot of process refinement initiatives on Miro, which has been a great experience. It has the functionality of competitor solutions like LucidChart, but also has capabilities beyond that. For example, the other day I used Miro to make graphics for a presentation.
