Miro is an excellent tool for online collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Miro makes it easy to facilitate a workshop with a large number of people. It works seamlessly without lag with collaborators on the board and provides many ways for collaborators to follow along and get creative with contributions. I really liked the ability to integrate my presentation slides directly into Miro and be able to navigate between frames very easily. I also like the ability to be able to track anyone on the board or direct them to where I am on the board when talking about specific items. I can see this becoming very useful as well as we learn how to integrate our other tools with it, such as Jira. Miro has quickly become our go-to tool for all things collaboration. In some ways, I can see it become even more efficient with brainstorming than physically being in the same room with everyone. Also being able to see what has changed on the board since the last session has also been helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some suggestions for improvement: It would be great to be able to turn off the ability to draw arrows to connect between objects. I have often accidentally dragged out arrows from sticky notes when I simply wanted to move them around. I also struggled with dot voting in the past because I would prepare the dots beforea workshop, but as participants placed down sticky notes and it came to voting, participants would take a dot and try to put it on top of a sticky note, but because the sticky notes were created after the dots, the dots would automatically be hidden underneath the sticky notes. I know I can circumvent this by just properly using the voting tool, so it's not a big deal. I simply wasn't aware that would be the behavior at the time and ran into that snag during the workshop.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest problem Miro is solving for us is the ability to collaborate and brainstorm with our teams while being remote. We have slowly been exploring the many features Miro offers and have found that it can be very easy to communicate things to our teammates by copying screens in our browser or web apps and pasting them into the Miro board. This is how we were able to quickly identify UI elements in our organization's existing products and compile them together on the Miro board.

Collaboration made easy
What do you like best about the product?
Simple interface and easy to have many collaborating visually at once on workflows
What do you dislike about the product?
Took me too long to figure out how to connect boxes with arrows !
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Dispersed teams brought together to collaborate visually and get shared understanding far easier than traditional methods
Recommendations to others considering the product:
go try and save loads of time and deliver far better products
Great remote collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
I love that you can see the cursors, making it feel like you are all together, a challenge of remote work. The fact that we can link it to Jira, use Planning Poker and a timer, use the same board for more than one frame (similar discussion topics all in one board, for example), make use of the templates, and create as many boards as we need are all key to Miro's usability.
What do you dislike about the product?
The controls are sometimes clunky, like when trying to add text to a sticky but accidentally creating a new one instead. There has been a learning curve for everyone in not grabbing the wrong thing and moving it, adding the wrong type of sticky by accident, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In our new all-remote work life, without the ease of standing around a whiteboard together, it's really important to have a tool like Miro where we can brainstorm and plan, and then record and keep a record of what we discussed. We've used it for Sprint Planning, Retrospectives, Kanband and Scrum Boards, story mapping, roadmapping, and more.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are having any trouble using Miro, keep at it, as it really benefits from trial and error and repeated use. You can always fix something if you move it by accident.
Amazing for digital collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
So easy and intuitive to navigate and share.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish pdfs loaded faster, I love loading in drawing sets (we're an architecture firm), and the pages take a bit to load.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaborating on design while working from home. Extremely quick for fast presentations.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do it! It's amazing.
It’s superb
What do you like best about the product?
Easy, flexible, worked with over 200 people.. amazing
What do you dislike about the product?
Tables are annoying and locking can be difficult too!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Large and small scale collaboration, training, and just getting really creative
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's amazing, very flexible and you can pretty much do anything
Great Digital Whiteboarding & Flow Diagram tool
What do you like best about the product?
MIro has an amazing user experience giving the user complete flexibility to put your thoughts down on "paper" so that it can be shared and iterated on. The templates offered are great starting points.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much to dislike. It solves all of our team needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro helps our team put their processes and thoughts in a sharable place, either for presentation to the rest of the team or for their own personal projects and tasks. The benefits are keeping all of those flows in one centralized place that is super flexible
Best Collaboration Product
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Miro is the ability to synchronously and asynchronously work with your team anywhere in the world at any given time and everyone is on the same page, always. Email, chat, task tracking software always means something gets buried in the long chains of back and forth, Miro is totally different. MIro makes everything visual instead of textual, placing your company in the seat of the customer vs the strategist. Miro helps clarify the objective of a project so the final product reflects the team's goals, not just the loudest person in a meeting or the person who spams the inbox the most. Miro keeps adding features and they deliver them in a really nice way on the platform. The new video tool allows everyone to just be on miro instead of searching through email for the call invite.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a lot of templates available on the platform but Miro could be even more powerful if there were thousands of more templates available to the users. This would really help users who want to use Miro for everything be able to instead of not having the time to set up a board from scratch.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Brainstorming, Product planning, team collaboration, efficiency with the timer, process documentation, yearly and quarterly planning.
Miro has a timer feature and it keeps everyone on the call on task and present. Virtual meetings are meandering at best without the Miro timer.
We were working remotely for about 2 years prior to finding Miro. Miro energized the team around creating and launching products.
So many employees would create documents and processes in their heads and nobody could fill their seats on a sick day. Miro helped us document all the job functions in the company with easy to read visual aids and endless notes. The limitlessness of Miro allows for small and massive projects all to happen on a single platform.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
The user base of Miro is very collaborative by nature. Reach out to other users if you need help, they are your best allies.
Seriously the best white-boarding app I've ever used.
What do you like best about the product?
The app has a super intuitive design, and they update it regularly. I love that it feels like actual whiteboarding but better because you are not wasting postit notes and cards. Also the dot voting is super simple. I like that i can call all the users on the app to my location and we can turn on voice and just talk about it. I also love how simple it is to see the changes that have taken place while ive been gone.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's hard to get someone to talk with about your plan. The plans can be confusing. I keep having to add people and remove them. They make it easy enough, but it's hard to get a handle on how many users you need and when you should use the flexible people plan or what. I cant wait for them to make the boards available offline. Thats one issue I've had for a while. Other than that there are some small improvements they can do but its I feel like we need to give them time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can hold meetings with different teams, do all kinds of design and product planning with Miro. I have personal and business boards, and it's easy to share boards. We use it for idea generation, sharing ideas and designs, there are so many areas taht we are working in and with Miro all of those ideas can live in one place and be linked to, so sharing them and editing them is super simple. It even allows for bookmarking to the originial site. I have used a bunch of other apps before this, but none have been so intuitive.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just try it and you will see that its the best white-boarding app on the market. Its simple to use, easy to onboard and collaborate. You will wonder what you were doing before Miro. I have turned a bunch of people onto it and all are satisfied.
Powerful, simple, logical
What do you like best about the product?
MIro enables real-time collaboration via a "smart whiteboard" type interface. And it is wicked smart! The tools are intuitive and alway operate as expected even though you may have nested and grouped diagrams and text. It's expansive canvas allows huge diagrams and supports more than ample room to express ideas, status, results and so on. Also, the free tier is plenty powerful for all but the most demanding teams. I honestly don't know how they do it. Bravo.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's hard to come up with something that I would request a change on. Sometimes the background moves when I want to move the foreground, but they have handy locking features for this and I doubt one could come up with a more obvious interface.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I design apps with miro and coordinate teams based around the world. It's a big win.

What do you dislike about the product?
some shortcut keys are difficult to remember
some things seem to act differently for different users. Mouse scroll zooms in and out for me while for others it scrolls board up/down.
I tend to click on a sticky and try to type, but I need to double-click on it
Wish it would work in IE11
I wish adding a thumbnail of a region of the board as the cover for the board was quick and easy
I would like to see a 2-minute tutorial that would step new users through some basic functions, and maybe additional tutorials accessible for intermediate & advanced users.
