The best collaboration tool you didn't know you needed
What do you like best about the product?
- It works exactly how your mind thinks it works; you don't need any training to use it.
- It has a great many themes to choose from, so you don't have to start from scratch if you're doing a retro, a brain dump, a brainstorm, a team jam etc.
- They allow you to administer voting on created elements on the screen, which is particularly useful for retros.
- You can add soothing background music during a brainstorm, top feature!
- You can add timers for things like voting, having discussion sessions etc.

What do you dislike about the product?
The dialog that pops up when you login, to show you recent announcements. Users should not have to see that every time. They can instead opt to view by toggling their notifications.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it for distributed team collaboration. It gives the (almost) same level of flexibility as to when the team is in person.
Easy to Use - Beautiful Visuals
What do you like best about the product?
Miro's visuals are beautiful. I have a few friends who use Vizio who are looking to switch over after seeing some of my boards.
My personal favorite thing about Miro is how super intuitive it is. I really like how the system adapts to whether or not you're using a mouse, touchpad, or on mobile.

What do you dislike about the product?
It is sometimes difficult to navigate boards when using the Miro app on my tablet. I end up editing things on accident often so now I think of the tablet as a rough draft location and my desktop as the final editor.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a lot of training at my office that consists of boring Word docs and tedious checklists. Miro has allowed us to create engaging visuals and incorporate them into our training.
Amazing platform to create and colaborate with teams!
What do you like best about the product?
I like the infinite possibilities I can create with Miro. It's a fantastic whiteboard that allows everybody in the team to work together and interact simultaneously!
I always use it to make notes of quick ideas and insights to inspire me later!

What do you dislike about the product?
I think it's hard for people that do not speak English to understand Miro 100% without having someone to explain to them. It's my case. It always takes me a lot of time to explain what to do there.
Another 2 considerations I'd like to bring are:
- Prices - It could be in Brazilian Reais to be more affordable (without high taxes)
- I always forget the fast commands and I never know how to find them. Maybe it could be like a tip easy to find :)

For me, the benefits Miro brings are the uncountable possibilities. It's not a ppt, t's not a Word.... It's a lot of things together. The most significant opportunity is to do design thinking sessions with my team and let everybody collaborate in the same board, at the same time.
I feel confortable and secure on creating using Miro, even when I'm just by myself. It's very easy to move , add and change elements everytime it's needed.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is a fresh canvas to be used in various situations at work or in personal projects. Even the free version is already a great deal to start learning and implementing the collaborative approach in your team.
Multi function tool for visualising and designing products and business models
What do you like best about the product?
All the tools I would use for business analysis visualization and wireframing products in one place. I can map out business processes, mock-up potential designs, track general creative ideas and embed other tools on top of it for dashboards.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the way that the product is priced and how you form teams or invite people to collaborate is a bit confusing. On the free plan for instance, you can only have 3 boards, but if people share their boards with you it takes up your board space! I would prefer it if it started from personal boards and that you were not on someone else's "team" by default, so greater separation of personal and shared would be great!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving problems of business process mapping. Understanding data flows through a business (for businesses I am part of and businesses I consult for). I am visualizing insights from customer interviews using affinity mapping and designing product mockups (mostly for software but not limited to this) and tracking notes against it. It becomes one global view, like a dashboard, of every piece or part of a business or a product. Also using Miro for creative projects to brainstorm stories, storyboarding, character and world-building
Miro is the creative visualizing tool I've been needing for my work
What do you like best about the product?
I love how flexible Miro is. And colorful. I'm a visual learner and thinker. It's been amazing to explore all the tools and potentialities with Miro's various assets. My business colleagues have been ecstatic from my first shares of road maps, overviews, brainstorms, webs, Venn diagrams, etc. I'm teaching them how to utilize it as well, but frankly, it's been a game-changer just for me personally, so I'm happy enough with that.
One more thing, I've found multiple ways to use Miro for my personal life as well. The possibilities are endless.

What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were more color options for the sticky notes. I don't understand why we can find exact colors for shapes but sticky colors are limited.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visualizing future paths for our products. It's one thing to put ideas down on a spreadsheet; it's completely another to see it in a visual flow chart.
Expansiveness of the canvas. I love that it can get bigger and bigger. This translates to the visioning of our products as well.

Best engaging workshops <3
What do you like best about the product?
The voting is the best!! No more awkward red dots that fly around :D And I love building presentation slides on Miro - much more user-friendly interface than any powerpoints/google slides, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Inability to make a board editable and request a log-in for external people on Pro(team?) plan - we often have to share the boards with startups and end up having no control of who is using the board and changing data as we have to make the sharing settings 'editable to whoever has the link' :( the other option is adding every startup to the team which automatically gives them access to the whole workspace :/
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We run tens of Product/Design sprints a year and there literally is no other way to do it without Miro. So the main problem solved is letting people from across the globe collaborate and build their products remotely.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's totally worth it :) you can import and export all of the data easily, even from real-life post-its on a real wall :D
My #1 tool for basically anything
What do you like best about the product?
I'm typically quite unstructured and I love to just get my ideas out. Miro helps me with exactly these two things by allowing me to work creatively but still add structure to the things I'm making. Yesterday a colleague complimented me for working so structured...
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not always easy to find back things or have a central place for your information. I tend to create new boards all the time and sometimes lose track of what to find where.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work collaboratively with colleagues in creative sessions, as well as for collaborative note-taking during user research. Whenever I need to get an idea out of my head, I work it out visually in miro.
So easy to collaborate when working remotely
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is a great tool to use when you are looking to collaborate on projects across a team or a whole business. It is easy to use and easy to navigate, you can all work on it together at exactly the same time without your contribution causing problems for other people on the same board as you can work on different parts of the board at one time.
What do you dislike about the product?
You can easily navigate away from the area you are in and easily zoom in and out (which are both good features to have) but when you are discussing specific areas of the board it would be good to lock the board and its contents in that area so this doesn't happen as easily (maybe a double click will allow you to move or edit objects within that specific section of the board?) it can be a hold up when it happens, especially if you are working on a really large board, navigating your way back to where you were could potentially take some time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest benefit we've gained from Miro is the ability to work together on a project or campaign when you are all in different places, It feels a lot more similar to what it was when we were in the office working from a whiteboard.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking for a great tool, that's easy for your whole team to use, and if you're looking for something to bring them together and improve their communication/ collaborative efforts, this is the ONE you want.
Super useful app I always needed
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can organize my thoughts in a natural manner.
I like that I can collect all types of information in one visual place.
I like its templates.
I like that I can present and share the board with my clients and coworkers.
I like that I can sketch inside the board and make notes with stickers.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes when the board is heavy loaded, it takes time to open it. It takes time to generate the images.
I don't like it when I want to connect an arrow on someplace on a large image; it jumps to one of its borders. But I can understand why it happens, and there are a few tricks to overcome it, like placing an additional object on top of the image and then connecting the arrow to this object.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use MIRO for all my design processes. I collect all the information needed for the project on the board; I make the suitable composition of this information. I place there all the visual outputs of my work. It makes it easy to control the chaotic process of creation. And I don't need all these physical whiteboards that I had.
Amazing collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
Miro has been my go-to tool during COVID. It has the best and most stable tool to date to help facilitate online collaboration. It has been game-changing in helping visual ideas and thoughts. I love the versatility of Miro!
What do you dislike about the product?
While I love using this Miro, I find navigating around the board an opportunity for improvement. What I mean by this is that most of the time when I navigate around, it is fine but. However, there are times where I am simply trying to navigate around the board, it doesn't pick up what I am trying to do so I am accidentally moving things around when. This is easily managed via the "un-do" action and then changing the cursor behavior. Another workaround would be to lock objects, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro is great in helping confirm that everyone is on the same page with an idea, problem or solution. Being able to work through this visually has been a huge help. I use Miro to facilitate workshops or as a presentation tool. I also use Miro as a way to just work through something I have in my head in a visual way.
I'm a visual person so Miro has been massive in helping my communicate what I need to in a visual manner which helps me confirm that everyone is on the same page.
