Customised space to work and create
What do you like best about the product?
I love how I can create customized designs according to my needs. I also love the available ready-made templates, and I can use them if I don't know where I want to begin.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not much I dislike about the website. I like all the features. My manager and I also used the video call feature, which was very clear, and it was pretty surprising.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am editing a framework for our pre-existing online course, and I present the data that was already there and add to it as needed. So, I need a lot of flexibility.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Voting icons can be more significant. They're hard to be seen sometimes.
I still haven't found the reason why I cannot use my desktop app. It wasn't easy to use, so I had postponed it to some other time when I was free.

The best part about this platform is its wide of variety of features, whether it's the infinite canvas or the workflow integration, it helps a lot in brainstorming and ideation.
What do you dislike about the product?
As for now, there is nothing that I dislike about the platform but still, there is a bit of scope of Improvement on the UI/UX part. Also, if they can add the content calendar would be a plus.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am easily able to coordinate with my team on different projects and also ideate and brainstorm by centralizing all the communication via miro, the digital workspaces are Indeed awesome!

What do you dislike about the product?
I would suggest increasing the minimum features available before requering an upgrade

This is a very collaborative tool with your team, so it is really easy to do retrospectives and create shared & tailored boards
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Absolutely
Great tool to remote team work
What do you like best about the product?
The huge possibilities you have, you can add pdf, screenshots, leave comments, mention people on an infinitive whiteboard. You can personalize a lot of the style so, a miro board can look super designed, like a .ai file! Last but not least, the new integration with video calls in teams is just amazing.
What do you dislike about the product?
The chat could be better, I've been using the product for a long time and when I tried to use the chat my team never saw the notification so, we keep using other messages applications instead of Miro. Or maybe integration with other teamwork apps like teams or slack.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I started using Miro for more visual tasks, right now we use it from everything even user research analysis instead of specific applications for that goal. We use it for all the phases of a design project.
User-friendly experience
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use of Miro is fantastic. The previous company I worked at used it, and it took me a few minutes to understand and use the platform to communicate the needs of my project effectively. I loved working with it so much that I brought it to where I work now, and everyone loves it so far!
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see a more attractive package for single users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Customer journey visualization on our e-shop has been easier to explain using Miro.
I have also used the tool to develop a personalized Gant-type chart for my projects.
The main benefit of using Miro is that it provides a user-friendly experience to put your ideas together in a fun and easy way to understand. It's a great tool if you are a visual person.

Love at the first sight
What do you like best about the product?
I really like Miro and the possibility that the platform gives users to create anything. I started using Miro 2 years ago and when the pandemic started it became my everyday working tool. I like the flexibility, the versatility, and the possibility of discovering inside templates how other users are using them.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really don't have much to complain about Miro. I just sometimes feel uncomfortable in appearing visible in a board.
Also, I feel that Miro has a learning curve and for this reason some people in a workshop/ brainstorming (at the first time using it) don't feel comfortable in editing something.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
At this moment I have been using Miro to document my design process combined with Notion.
So, I use Miro to show visually all the stages: discovery, define, ideation and deliver... in a way that I can share with my peers to give an understanding of what our team have been working on.
Some examples: CSD Matrix (Certainties, Suppositions & Doubts), user story mapping, task and workflow, user requirements, mood board, benchmarking, low fidelity wireframes...
For me, the best benefit is the possibility to concentrate everything in one place and work collaboratively.

Versatile App for Agile Teams
What do you like best about the product?
Miro works very hard to make the user experience both useful and pleasurable to use. This is very evident in the layout and design of the application but also in their prioritization of features. One of my favorite pieces is the wire framing kit. It allows users to create low fidelity mock-ups but they're so easy to use that it's great for visualizing what you're talking about as you're designing a user interface with colleagues.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it's easy to forget that miro is primarily a whiteboard. They do so many things excellently and that can cause you to compare these pieces to fully fledged competitors in those spaces. But if you remember that these are just components in the miro ecosystem and not full competitive products, it's very easy to appreciate the hard work that miro has put into their product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro makes it easy for remote teams to have the convenience of a whiteboard and really make good use out of screen sharing. Oftentimes screen sharing isn't used to its full potential because people just show the same ui that everyone else could see on their screen. Instead miro allows everyone to collaborate in real time. Their iPad app is great too for writing notes
A WOW product
What do you like best about the product?
Freedom to create anything on waste canvas. Integration with multiple application will also give a clearly edge to Miro.
What do you dislike about the product?
All are so prefect in Miro .... Nothing dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Some time lagging and collaborating with my geographically distributed team might respond slow.
Enabling better collaboration with others and brainstorming!
What do you like best about the product?
Three big reasons why Miro makes me more effective and happy.:
Miro is fundamentally designed for work together with others. You can very quickly invite either members or guests into the board and even add passwords for a little extra security. I find this aspect of co-creation very important when facilitated workshops or other meetings as if you're the only one writing things down, it either slows things down,, or you're not getting everyone's voice. In these days of constant virtual meetings, if you're not getting them involved, you're probably going to lose them.
Anything key aspect of Miro is that it's incredibly nonrestrictive, just like a white board. This gives me more flexibility to add notes and other details in the stress of a workshop. It also has so many options to customize the look and feel that you can design what the experience will be for the participants. This designed experience can be extra helpful when working with those who are not comfortable with newer technologies. Keep it as simple as just stickies or start creating complex exercises. You get to choose. And also, this freedom helps with trying to break down concepts that you're trying to unpack and learn something complex.
Finally, one aspect of Miro that stands out is the commitment to the end-user. On one side, there's the constant trickle of new functionality to continue to improve the usage of their tool. And on the other side, there's the commitment to learning and community. There's a massive amount of learning content available for everyone, and they've created and nurtured a community to allow then people to share their templates and their learning with others.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are only two things that I wish Miro were able to do a little better. (I assume they'll get there eventually.)
I adore mind maps as a tool to brainstorm and document a lot of information effectively. While Miro does an ok job with their mind map functionality, I find it gets hectic and large quickly. I was spoiled by another product that allowed me to collapse branches which is a game-changer and hard to go back to anything else. This missing feature means that I can't easily leverage the power of mind maps when working with others, as navigating them gets too messy.
The second item is the lack of export data out of the tool as I need*. I understand that this makes sense since it's primarily a visualization tool. Still, I wish I could export my information into a structured CSV to ease the time it takes me to leverage the collected data in another device. In a similar vein, it would be nice to have more ways to tag data. The task object is an excellent step in the right direction, so I have a lot of hope they'll continually improve.
* They do have promising integrations towards tools such as JIRA or Azure DevOps but I don't have access to those tools and can't leverage the integrations. Would be nice to have a simple CSV extraction tool.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Most problems I need to solve involve getting information from others through facilitated sessions. The benefit is that I get richer information more pleasantly through better collaboration from the participants. They can play more of an active role.
Miro brings us closer and together
What do you like best about the product?
Miro's approachable, everyone can join and feel like they are contributing. We can get stakeholders and team members involved early and often.
Templates help a lot with getting started quickly.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes hard to find things when we go crazy with the amount of "post-its." It might feel overwhelming for someone that was not part of the journey if they jump in a populated Miro board.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mainly using it for 1. User research & synthesis and 2. Getting everyone on the same page when kicking of projects.
With Miro, it's easier to bring non-designers in our design process.
