The interface is great to have everything in one place and run sessions that can show journey.
What do you like best about the product?
The open interface where we can create our own flow and that guests have limited access, if I want. I can control the interaction completely.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not too many templates yet to select from. The ones available are too structured. Would love to see some more "Play" or "Fun" features that we can integrate into the platform (maze, puzzle etc)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We got a team of 100 people to share their thoughts in the same place. It was a great way for them to own their work and collaborate with each other in real time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is not connected to Teams, that makes it even more integrated.
Love Miro - probably my favorite software!
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, easy to share and very collaborative
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the controls are a bit wonky until you get the hang of them (selecting items, scrolling on the screen, etc...)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My workflows and requirements are much more visual, organized and easy to create. Turned static content docs of requirements into living and breathing visual workflows and my team is hooked! Cuts time to create business and functional requirements from hours or even days to sometimes only minutes!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take some time to get to learn in and find out how it works best for you. It can do many things, but that does not mean it has to do everything!
Fantastic online tool for real-time collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
So much. Real-time visibility to what everyone else is doing online. The ability to use or create templates that can re-create in-person experiences for familiarity or take advantage of online templates to remove the barriers that physical space would make. I also like that you can anonymize participants to enter information without knowing who wrote what - very useful for honest comments.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a bit of a navigation learning curve which is expected with any technology tool. The learning curve is short but steep. Once you get participants over that initial hurdle, they are fine. Low-tech users sometimes struggle, but a little patience and good planning go a long way in helping them get familiar with working in the MIRO space.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
So many things. Focus group feedback, customer and employee engagement, process improvements. The main benefit, the way we are using MIRO, is that we get great information and contributions because we set it so that people can join anonymously. Participants can write their truth without fear of repercussions. People who don't usually speak up or speak truth to power love using MIRO the way we set it up. We also find that introverts love using MIRO as there is a way for their voice to be heard without being drowned out by the talkers if we were in person.
An indispensable collaboration tool for our regtech startup
What do you like best about the product?
We're a fully remote company, so this is the whiteboard we don't have. We use it for planning releases, for doing business analysis, and UX design. The best thing is the ability to see what other people are looking at, e.g. by following their mouse pointer. Then there's the infinite whiteboard space, easy replication of diagrams and long term storage. Miro is actually better than a real whiteboard!
What do you dislike about the product?
There's very little to dislike. Out of all the SaaS subscriptions we have, this is the most valuable tool we have as a team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Previously, we had trouble communicating visualising online. Now, we are able to workshop online effectively, saving us time and money that it would cost to travel to the same place and hire a venue.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it for a while and see how many uses you have for it. We've been seriously impressed by the templates, responsiveness and easy exports.
Just Miro it! Miro helped us change meeting format forever
What do you like best about the product?
Miro provides enough tools (even with a free plan) to facilitate online meetings and keep all relevant information in front of you the whole time. Visualization helps my Team to be engaged and solve complex problems together. It's crucial today as we work remotely nowadays.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes time to specify how to move elements on a board or avoid ruing all your templates for a meeting for new users. So, Miro might be confusing firstly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro several times helped to conduct kick-off meetings and set expectations within teams. Visualization of ideas, processes, expectations in combination with proper facilitation technic guarantees a great result. Also, it's a vital tool for a Scrum Team to have cool retrospectives and planning sessions.
Miro enhances our brainstorming and planning workflow in a great and collaborative way.
What do you like best about the product?
The fluent collaboration and great templates speed up our creative and strategic processes/meetings. The interface is clean and easy to use, with no tutorial needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
We use Miro on a Samsung Flip 2, unfortunately some menus are not visible (e.g., the bottom left menu bar with presentation mode).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We like to keep working creatively on a whiteboard. Due to home office, this is often impossible as a whole team. Miro helps us to keep up our processes with employees abroad. Of course, we can work way more flexibly and creatively with Miro in contrast to an analog whiteboard.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We've tried several other online collaboration tools, but none met the stability, ease of use, and scope of functions.
Miro in Engineering classes
What do you like best about the product?
Infinite whiteboard, easy to use, elegant, highly interactive for students, compatible with groups and academic communities, multiplatform
I have used it for more than two years now, and It is a marvelous tool for subjects like economics, programming, history, etc.
Why use a traditional whiteboard if you can save that time with an infinite board for your whole semester?

What do you dislike about the product?
the three board limit for the free version limits projects for students
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Changing from a traditional class to a distance education model in only two days, I needed a big white board, easy to use, and the chance to design every class easily with multimedia references and broadcasting.
And each student can collaborate in seconds!

Compare all the available options, get all the info you can. If you are using zoom or meets, you know those tools and maybe a few others, so make your checklist and compare, you will find the best choice

My go-to Digital Collaboration Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is a simple, intuitive, and visually engaging software that makes working on a screen enjoyable. While the templates are great, I often use the software for affinity and mind mapping. The simplicity in connecting elements with lines is my favorite feature. It helps me show concepts as they evolve and develop a functional hierarchy. When working on live documents with teammembers, the voting and timing features also work great and it's easy to get around within the document.
What do you dislike about the product?
I want more options for coloring and working with sticky notes. When working with user data, I often color code each participant by color, but there are not enough colors for all the participants, which leads to many problems. Sometimes I will turn over to text boxes, but because they do not auto-resize, it is annoying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am working on analyzing user interview data. I bring interview notes into Miro and afinitize them to draw insights through a multi-staged process of sentiment evaluation, topic arrangement, and jobs to be done. These categories are combined to craft insights from each section of the research. The benefit is quick and easy manipulation of the data. For me, the best part is simply copying/pasting the WIP data into a new section to affinitize; this enables a traceable history of the data - something that physical notes are unable to do
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out! I have used both Miro and Mural, and I easily prefer Miro because it feels more polished
Excellent visual thinking tool
What do you like best about the product?
The app is super efficient at putting my thoughts to "paper". I can make sticky notes boards and make them into a deck of slides quickly. It gives me freedom in organizing and at the same time it aids to perform specific "thought process" with beautiful visual templates (i.e. Retro, decision boards, mind maps, etc.)
The feature that drove me to it is importing real sticky notes by simply taking a picture. I can work both on paper and digitally.
The app is VERY fast on Mac (slightly slower on windows, but acceptable)
It comes full to the brim with beautiful templates and a ton of resources to get the most out of it. Most of the templates are self explanatory and easy to use. I have learned more than I anticipated just looking at those templates.
Another selling point was the pricing model - I went with "consultant" plan because I share the boards occasionally (for specific task) with different groups of people. It is both affordable and fairly priced.

What do you dislike about the product?
The windows app could be faster. Also, general windows experience is less than ideal - especially scrolling, but this might be specific to the operating system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it to brainstorm and collect thoughts visually. I have performed retros, brainstorming sessions and I keep my thought-maps in it.
The app is fast and unobtrusive - and that is the killer feature for me.
No. 2 are the templates for other processes - one can learn a lot by reviewing them

Try it out. It's as seamless as possible.
A fantastic tool for cross functional team collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
To me, I find the different templates of MIRO to be very valuable because, depending on the context of my discussions with my team members, I can select the desired template and drive my conversation. For example, it has been beneficial to work on a feature prioritization exercise where I have used the feature map template. Another example is to create a product backlog, and a user story map where MIRO boards have been very productive to use in the meetings and obtain feedback immediately.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice if we had more customer journey map templates to select as the ones currently available do not have a lot of swimlanes focusing on technology considerations, opportunities for improvements which are great to have.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MIRO has helped identify gaps when analyzing the current state and future state for product requirements and the gap analysis brainstorming done using MIRO has been very insightful to the business and technical teams in deciding business improvement areas, technical roadblocks, and both product and process efficiency.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If your looking to collaborate and engage every team member in the most effective and productive way, MIRO is the place to get started!
Virtual meetings and in person meetings can become more fun using MIRO :) !!!
