Best all-around work tool!
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using Miro for over a year since we moved to a work-from-home setup. I absolutely love using and find it essential for all types of work that I do. As a student leader who is also taking internships on the side, Miro has become my go-to work tool for both school and work, especially since I am pursuing Research. Not only does it help me organize my data and thoughts better, but I am also able to utilize it for quick and easy collaboration with my peers and co-workers. Work has never been easier with Miro.
What do you dislike about the product?
With how I utilize Miro, I don't see any downsides to it. I am able to work with other people on one board, and export boards later on. At the moment, Miro has everything that I would need for it to do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a UX Designer and Researcher, I mostly use Miro for collating and analyzing data that I gather. In the same way that I would use a physical whiteboard and sticky notes in person, Miro makes this more convenient and accessible from anywhere. Being able to archive my boards also prove to be very useful as I could always just come back to them in the future without starting from scratch.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It has a small learning curve when you first get started, but once you get the hang of it, the possibilities of Miro are limitless.
Real-time collaboration powerhouse for strategy sessions and client engagement
What do you like best about the product?
Miro has transformed how our team collaborates, especially for stand-up meetings and client engagement sessions where real-time collaboration is essential. Everyone can contribute simultaneously, which makes brainstorming and strategy sessions incredibly productive. The prototyping feature is particularly handy for our design work. What really sets Miro apart is the comprehensive engagement toolkit - features like the timer, voting system, and presentation mode keep sessions focused and interactive. It's packed with everything you need to run effective collaborative workshops, whether your team is distributed across different locations or working together in the same room. The ability to access and continue working on boards from anywhere means our ideas and progress are never locked to a physical location.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some features could be fleshed out more. The document functionality would benefit from more formatting options and proper table support. While the grid function in Frames is useful, it can sometimes mess up the positioning of elements when toggled. Overall these are minor issues compared to what the platform offers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro solves the challenge of collaborating over long distances during high-intensity brain activity like strategy mapping, customer journey workshops, and planning sessions. Even when teams are in the same room, having an interactive digital board is incredibly handy - you don't need to drag whiteboards around or worry about photographing notes before they're erased. The ability to access any whiteboard session from anywhere, at any time, means our strategic work is always available for reference and iteration. It's become our central hub for visual thinking, from sales funnels and customer journeys to production processes and organisational charts. Everything stays in one logical, visualised place that the whole team can access and contribute to.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It will be hard when thinking about what to put on the Miro board initially. I would recommend starting with the simplest chart as Sales Funnel or Customer Journey of a particular product.
Mirro is a great, intuitive, tool for our company to quickly collaborate.
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ability to be able to not only share my boards with others from my company but also the ability to be able to work together remotely on the same boards—amazing connectivity when it comes to working with a team to document processes or create workflows.
What do you dislike about the product?
If I have to choose something I dislike, it would be the template selection. It doesn't match the variety of template selections from Excel (not the same types, I know but just as an example). Excel tends to have whatever template I could want to use Excel for, but when it comes to Mirror, they don't always have an excellent match for something I'd like to do within Mirro.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Documenting process flows. This has been the most helpful tool I've used to document process flows and be able to share them across the company for when we are thinking of implementing changes. I've also used this Mirro to create value stream maps and address waste within processes.
Change Management facilitation
What do you like best about the product?
The versatility and user friendliness of Miro. The Miro verse is a great library that saves me tonnes of hours of preparation for complex processes. All the trainings and processes with facilitation guides makes it worth a lot more than other whiteboard tools.
The integration to a wide variety of systems such as Trello and Teams is a helpful addition.
I have ensured that Miro is used enterprise wide at my company, and we are happy with the strong encryption.

What do you dislike about the product?
The table function is lacking a lot of functionality. If it could do filtering and simultaneous changes while not moving the table around it would be a lot more useful. Coloring columns and rows to make it easier to navigate more complex tables will also help a lot.
I would like a change setting where the boards are locked for everyone else than me. Then I can always change formatting, but no one else.

I'm conducting Retrospectives with various teams.
I'm doing ice breakers.
And a lot more.
All of what I'm doing makes online collaboration a lot more valuable, ensuring that I always reach a strong outcome that can be shared right away.

Miro, an incredible tool for collaboration in learning processes
What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility, one of the characteristics of a board, lies in the ability to offer multiple environments in the same space, this is something you can do with Miro. You can define what each team member sees who participates in a learning process. It allows this to be fluid and guided. Additionally, with all the templates available, you can create any type of session.
What do you dislike about the product?
For now, only the fact that after building a set of slides, being able to reuse them in other sessions (it may be because I haven't yet learned some of their features that serve for this). I think creating templates would solve it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The dynamic interaction among all participants in a session allows me to see what everyone is doing. They can exchange information among themselves and with the facilitator. I can use it to leave some kind of assignment, and they can access it whenever they are able to.
The multi-tool of collaborative software
What do you like best about the product?
If I ever have a thought that I cannot work out how to express, I know that I can start brain-dumping into Miro, and I will easily be able to rearrange and refine my thoughts into something clear and easily shareable. As a product manager, having access to so many different templates is invaluable; I am all for re-using concepts that others have found helpful, and Miro has a brilliant way to make this easy. I enjoy using Miro to work with colleagues in real-time and asynchronously; it's a very powerful tool to capture people's ideas and to enable a group of people to work through concepts together to reach a solution. I'm also a sucker for making diagrams pretty or fun so being able to search an extensive icon library or simply copy-paste images into Miro means I can do this in no time at all, and I don't feel like I am spending time on frivolous things. There are so many good things about using Miro that it's actually hard to keep this to a reasonable length! I find creating flow diagrams in Miro so intuitive, the same is true with mind maps. There is an extensive capacity for formatting in this tool, enabling me to make even complex diagrams clear and even attractive. Frames are a great way to separate information into digestible chunks while still keeping it within the same board and making it so easy to present or share with others. Exporting images in different sizes is so useful, and I have used it so many times. I have both professional and personal accounts because I find Miro invaluable in both aspects of my life. There are so many other joy-inducing features, and I can't begin to express how sad I would be if I couldn't use this product.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be very easy to create too many boards and split content across different locations, causing confusion and duplication. It is also incredibly easy to put too much content in one place which doesn't belong in one location. I think both of these issues are the same with things like wikis and filesystems as well, and it's as much about the users as it is the tool. I wish that I could add more icons into the library because I do often find that I don't quite have the one I want, but equally, if there are too many for a specific search term, then they can be hard to sort through - perhaps a different method for finding them would help.
It can be hard to tell who has added content to a board, such as post-it notes, as the tool is so collaborative that anyone can change anything. The purple highlighting to say what has changed between accesses is something that I don't find helpful generally although I do like to know who has been changing things and what they have touched, it's usually too much and makes it so that all I can see is purple, so I just turn it off. I would like there to be a better way to assign post-it notes to individuals for things like retros/workshops etc, so that you can see who created them in perpetuity.

Miro allowed us to collaborate and sync effectively while we work remotely
What do you like best about the product?
It is relatively easy to create templates and organize workshops that empower the engagement of the participants. It often serves as the "history" of how decisions were made and used to develop drafts of roadmaps and timelines.
Miro is also an excellent tool when it comes to retrospectives and feedback sessions. It is extremely helpful that many templates are available to use.

What do you dislike about the product?
While working inside a new board is straightforward, organizing your work has a lot of room for improvement. We use miro as a company and I am able to create a space for my own team using the project section. Nevertheless, after a year I have created more than 50 boards and I would have created at least 50% more if there was a sufficient way to organize boards inside a project. That it would allow me to create cleaner and more targeted boards.
While I enjoy the in-Miro calls feature, it is necessary to have the ability to use blur background since it is the standart in similar tools and working from home has proven challenging for many people.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to brainstorm, plan and sync with my colleagues on different topics using different types of workshops and setups. We are also able to run design sprints entirely remotely. Design sprints are very challenging, but we managed to set them up in Miro, and I could honestly say that the experience of the participant and

Great for people who have a hard time organizing their thoughts! (ADHD friendly)
What do you like best about the product?
I love that the different boards are created with specific organizational needs in mind. There's always a board that will work best for a particular project. It's also super user-friendly by helping with alignments and the tools follow your clicks rather than being locked at the top of the page. It helps me know what I'm editing.
What do you dislike about the product?
It took me a while to decide which board to use. I ended up using the board that looked the easiest to use rather than what may have been the better board for what I needed to do. I got a little frustrated with some boards because I couldn't figure out how to use them. I may have been asked if I wanted a tutorial on how to use it, and I clicked out of it,
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am an extremely disorganized person. I have severe ADHD, and my desk is always covered in sticky notes and full pages of writing that I never look at again. Miro helps me keep my thoughts and processes organized, they turn the full pages of writing and sticky notes into structured and concrete thoughts that I can connect to one another.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
In this remote world, Miro is a great tool for team collaboration without being face-to-face. I've been able to review work from my peers at ease and on my own time, as well as been able to effectively communicate my work to my peers in a way that is organized and tidy with the different editing and alignment tools Miro offers.
Miro is the best online whiteboarding tool I've found
What do you like best about the product?
The way it balances allowing freeform expression and the right level of constraints in interaction with elements. Most tools sit in a spectrum of allowing freeform expression the same way a physical whiteboarding tool would and some rigidity, allowing itself to be more opinionated and solve very specific problems. I feel Miro lies at the exact middle and allows for enough flexibility that people have found it to be more than just for drawing diagrams, but I've seen it used to host games, facilitate workshops, and so much more.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lacking specialization, as mentioned above, there are specific diagrams that are much harder to draw with a mouse. As a software engineer, for example, it's challenging to try and connect elements that weren't intended to be connected the usual box and lines that Miro supports. There are add ons available for some of them though. For others, I just do them in the specialized tool and paste it back to Miro.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The collaboration is another strong point. It's become to whiteboarding what gmail is to email, or google docs to collaborating on documents. I can just as easy jump in, share the Miro board link, and invite people in to the board. Them having to make an account is probably the only barrier to this. There are also a number of neat features for facilitating meetings, like timers, and draw people's attention to your cursor.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's an amazing tool for collaboration that sits neatly between flexibility and an appropriate level of constraint between elements in the board.
Excellent Living Whiteboard Wall
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is a far superior tool to the traditional whiteboard that we used in the office. Previously when in the office, we would write words and add sticky notes to a wall while brainstorming or project planning. At the end of a traditional session, we would either write down the final decision or take a picture to remind us of how we arrived at the decisions we made. With Miro, we can collaborate the same way virtually, and the "wall" lives on, which allows additional asynchronous and synchronous discussions to occur. Miro also saves time as it is quick and easy to review past brainstorming and decisions along with adding new thoughts to the Mior board. Additionally, the highlighting of changes since last time is helpful to see what other team members have added asynchronously.
What do you dislike about the product?
Navigation: I find navigation within Miro tricky and often frustrating. More often than not, I accidentally move information on the board when I intend to move to a different area on the board. I have identified the "undo" button, which allows me to fix any unintended moves, but it causes additional time to correct errors.
Screen share: Although external links relevant to the project can be included in the Miro board, with the Miro meeting, I am unable to share the screen so that all meeting attendees are looking at the same external information. The lack of external screen share causes me to use google meets more frequently than the Miro "meeting" functionality.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro when aligning visions to define a project. It is an excellent collaboration tool, as it allows everyone to voice (write) their thoughts, which in turn allows more enriching discussions including clarification of ideas. The voting feature is great for ensuring alignment on ideas. It alows everyone a "voice" at the meeting to share their ideas. With proper documentation, those who have not attended the synchronous meeting are able to review the Miro board and contribute to the project asynchronous. As a result of using Miro, we have been more successful in aligning the vision and scope of projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Appoint a Miro champion internally to encourage others to use Miro and provide examples to teams where Miro can improve current practices.
