Used for years, always great experience
What do you like best about the product?
I must say I love the looks. I enjoy using Miro for my workshops - it is intuitive to use, it is colorful, it is super fast, it has so much functionality that each time I use it, I learn something new.
I like using it to ideate how I can work with my team for months ahead and restructure anything at any time without losing the big picture.
I use it for personal projects as well - it was the best tool I found for planning the game with my friends.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it gets hectic on the board, but that is usually solvable by locking the frame.
The other small thing, the person's name can sometimes block parts of the text, so we have to ask the person to move their cursor.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Planning (all sorts of planning for events, team workshops, training, gifts, etc.)
- Workshops (I love to use it right now in new normal, cause we can easily share everything we do with those who choose to be remote)
- Team retros
I also like that all the boards stay there forever as documentation we can always come back to.

Give it a try, I fell in love with it after my first use!
An awesome experience
What do you like best about the product?
I can collaborate with other people in a way that is more fun than ever. I could do this for all of my days because it's like a game for my team and me. I never see something like this in the market.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it takes a lot of my internet capacity. Nothing that a little patience cannot resolve, but I try not to use in presentation, though. I think I need to improve my internet provider.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Planning has become a game, which is excellent. It improves my time consuming with this kind of work and, of course, I can make more money while I'm more productive.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking for a productivity tool, better consider Miro. Despite being a collaboration tool, your productivity may skyrocket. Seriously.
Great for documenting complex code flow
What do you like best about the product?
infinite canvas, ipad support, apple pencil support, ability to track and resolve comments from teammates, ability to search across the board, excellent performance smoothness
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not too fond of the lack of collapsible elements. If I want to document complex code, I don't want my diagrams to look complicated in the first look. I want them to be able to click and expand part of the diagram. Just like in Google Maps, we get more details when I zoom in more and more.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Miro to solve the knowledge transfer of our codebase. We document code flow, data flow, state diagrams, user scenarios mapping, etc., in Miro. We also use it to figure out how to refactor a complex code in our codebase
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't come here with the expectation of a "do it all" solution. It will work superbly for you if you look at it for solving a particular use-case like diagramming, brainstorming, project visualization, etc.
Nice and very usefull templates and tools
What do you like best about the product?
Building a project using wireframes is so easy with the wireframe library it helped me show my stakeholders how the product would look. Also, the templates for UX research are well diagramed.
What do you dislike about the product?
I had some trouble in the past leaving a team and preserving a copy of the work, even creating a new board. I had to create a new account and start from zero. Maybe a export feature would be helpfull.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I save a lot of time using UX research templates, making a low fidelity prototype is very easy, I feel like I'm more productive and can focus better on other tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you, like me, are users that mostly code but need to fast prototype or make diagrams well presented, Miro will save you a lot of effort making templates, selecting colors, spacing elements, and more.
A feature i look fordward to use is the scrum poker, I have been triying to use some websites that are suposed to help with that but did not worked well, hope Miros way work way better even with a free version.

Miro is the best tool for collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
People can simultaneously work in the same Miro Board and collaborate on whiteboards, mindmaps and diagrams. You can also pin people to your view, making it fantastic to present inside Miro without sharing your screen directly.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Miro Application makes my MacBook run wild - but the online version works the same, so that is nothing to complain about. It would only be a shortcut for getting faster to your boards.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In the past, we have discussed topics in Teams and Zoom sessions. The difficulty in here is, that only one person can share and it gets more and more complicated to follow when multiple persons are speaking up at the same time. With Miro they can choose whether they speak or directly make adjustments on whatever you are working on.
The app can be used for virtually every area of life and work!
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about using Miro is the lightness of the application, even with the immense amount of functions, it doesn't weigh the computer down and so it can stay open without problems while working. In addition, the availability of templates with different methodologies greatly speeds up the creation process.
What do you dislike about the product?
As much as it is a complete application, I believe that it should have focus. So, I think the presentation, chat, and video call functions can hinder the application's development since they are pretty bad compared to those already available in the market.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problems regarding the construction of ideas with the team, where the tool enables centralization of activities developed in different frames on the same board.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need a lightweight tool that takes on the role of many other tools and is easy to use, use Miro.
Miro got me my Master's Degree, and is now helping me at work!
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to collaborate over Miro. Boards can be private or public, and anyone can contribute (regardless of age and technology experience). I used Miro to present my graduate architecture thesis, and my thesis committee members were able to help me by reviewing my drawings on Miro ahead of time.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that pdfs could be uploaded containing any font. As a creative, it messes with a presentation when Miro changes the fonts after I have uploaded them. Could this issue be due to copyrights?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was able to solve all design decisions in school and now at work. I've realized how easy it is to work with a team remotely. Our team uses Miro even when we are all in the same room together!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Learn all the tips and tricks because they're beneficial. It can do more than you think! (Cropping, uploading, frames, etc., however, it isn't overly complicated).
Improved Product Team Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
It is great how more collaborative our team calls have been since we implemented Miro. We are able to brainstorm more effectively, share ideas more smoothly, and work together in real-time as if we were in the same room together. Since sharing it with our different teams, like marketing, we have had better cross collaboration as well! Would recommend it to anyone looking for more creative and smooth ways to work together remotely!
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't much to dislike about Miro. The templates provided in their gallery are ok, but more often than not we end up creating our own boards for our specific project or call initiatives. I have not downloaded the mobile app or explored the mobile capabilities, but that is something I will have to do as well, I'm sure it would be helpful!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Since we have started working remotely, we have been looking for more ways to collaborate in real-time together. Especially now that we are working to be more PLG, this has given us much more bandwidth to work together on ideating and new feature initiatives. I would also recommend using the polling feature to make quick decisions when a lot of people are on a specific call. Makes it easy to think of a solution and brings up potential roadblocks you may have not originally thought of!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start with a template, but customize it for your own needs. Don't be afraid to start from scratch. Introduce Miro across different teams for some great cross-collaboration. Use the polling feature to make some quick decisions within your team.
Versatile and evolving tool for collaboration, presentation, and productivity
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is versatile. I can use it at every stage of my projects (brainstorming, drafting, analyzing, presenting, etc). I appreciate that the company is continually making updates to make the tool better and fit for different needs. I not only use if for my work, but also for personal purposes. The vastness of the boards allow me to be flexible and creative-- knowing I can always re-order, edit, or adjust how I'm thinking about my data.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a way to organize folders within Miro to organize boards that you've starred. Currently, they're all in one section "starred boards" and it's getting a bit crowded and disorganized. I enjoy using the "projects" feature to organize boards, but I use that feature for organizing miro boards shared across teams.
I would also like to be able to link miro boards in my google folder. There's a way to do this now, but unfortunately, I can only add each miro board to 1 folder at a time.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro is helping me, as a UX Researcher, analyze interviews. The boards give me the flexibility to organize customer needs in a way that's accessible, understandable, and actionable to the rest of my team. Sometimes a google doc or PowerPoint doesn't cut it. Miro lets me work with creative and visual people in a more fun way.
Great for remote teams and solo thinking
What do you like best about the product?
It is instant. I can collaborate with my colleagues in real-time, no matter where they are located. We can brainstorm effectively without any noticeable delay. I also use it by myself when I need to organize my thoughts. It helps to be able to spread the information out and rearrange my ideas. And it is always there. I can share the link with colleagues or reference back to it at any time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much. One thing that I recommend when doing a brainstorm or workshop on Miro is to have a moderator who kind of controls the board. This person should be the only person moving stickies around and setting the timer otherwise, it can get a little chaotic.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it for workshops. It helps with design thinking and general ideation sessions. Unlike a real-life whiteboard, the most significant benefit is that it is always there. The file stays organized the way it was when you last left it. With a whiteboard, you always have to take a picture to see it exactly as it was.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
As I said above, have a moderator control the board to minimize the chaos.
