Great whiteboarding tool
What do you like best about the product?
Miro has a wide array of suggested templates for whiteboarding. It's really helpful to have those to draw from when creating a new whiteboard for a meeting. I also like the polling feature; it has been a quick and easy tool to use to get additional feedback.
What do you dislike about the product?
For certain features, I'd like a wider array of color options or the options to input my own so I could keep it branded to my business. Navigation is not always easy if you have multiple components of a board, though the frame feature helps a lot.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have used Miro heavily for virtual collaboration; it really helped when we physically couldn't meet together for our annual strategic planning sessions. Additionally, I appreciate that I can have people join the board outside of the meeting to leave feedback or vote; it has helped prioritize our meeting time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Of the virtual whiteboarding tools, Miro has a fun and user-friendly interface. They are constantly updating it with new templates and tips to ensure freshness. I've found it to be a beneficial tool, both for organizing my own thoughts and facilitating workshops.
Miro Review - Good Experience
What do you like best about the product?
I use the Kanban board and it is great for giving you a visual overview of your projects, tasks, what you have achieved, what you still need to do etc. I like that you can colour code things, set due dates and set assignees. I use it as more of an interactive / combination, online diary / time management / project management tool and it works well for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that there isn't a start / end date. End date can be achieved using the due date feature, but if you have a project running or a task that nees to be done by a certain date, but you can only start it 5 days before (as an example), it becomes complicated. By have a Start date, you can order your tasks etc. in chronological order and know what you need to start on on a daily basis. By have the End / Due date you will also know that it has to be completed by this date.
One small pet peeve - When going to view the width of the board, any stickers or secondly board we have in the same workspace is included and the whole thing is very small. I'd prefer it to zoom to the width of the actual board I am using and not include anything that may be on the sides.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being a Management Consultant, we have various clients, with various projects on the go at all times and each of those projects is broken down via the Kanban board to show the tasks that need to be completed in order to achieve the project outcome. Miro allows us to see at a glance what work is still outstanding on each project, when things are due and who is responsible for each task. It is a visual representation of what is going on with each project and helps us tremendously.
The right tool for team collaboration & brainstorming.
What do you like best about the product?
The ready-to-use templates are available makes it very much easy to brainstorm right on the go without having to design elements and components from scratch.
Apart from the templates, as a part of our organization. we have conducted focus groups to understand our customer segments and have found very insightful results.
In addition to my college-related activities, we had the opportunity to teach school/college lecturers & professors to use Miro after which, there's been a considerable increase in the engagement in the classrooms due to a very intuitive and inclusive environment created.
Last but not the least, the ability to paste anything and everything from the web has been a lifesaver when it comes to quickly paste it on the board rather than taking the trouble of downloading images or videos from the web, store in the local storage, and then drop it onto the board.

What do you dislike about the product?
Primary concerns from my end revolve around the dashboard which according could be way more organized when it comes to an individual being on multiple teams.
In my opinion, I've found it to be less organized and often find it hard while navigating. In addition to this, I also would prefer the thumbnails on the dashboard to be updated in real-time to make sure that as a user it often becomes easy to pick up from where you left off.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As from Miro, I have not only been benefitted by following Industry Standard Frameworks through my design process but also making sure that during these tough times, there is an inclusive environment in the team created, while remotely working.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are a lot of options which has similar to Miro, which would intuit you using their features. If you are someone looking to get a brainstorming and whiteboard application, I highly recommend Miro to anyone and everyone, not because of its features but more importantly how they've built their product keeping the experience of users in mind ranging in various age groups.

What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing policy is not so clear (and quite expensive), there are sometimes double couting of users when they belong to several teams.
Limitation of number of rows in tables is too low for me.
The notification system could be improved (not easy to see all the open comments addressed to me)
Miro is not easy to use without a mouse (don’t rely on your touchpad)
Exports of boards to standard tools (Powerpoint...) could be improved, even if there are some possibilities
Miro can be slow to load for very large boards

Miro help us get communicated and quality deliverables especially when WFH
What do you like best about the product?
Miro helps us get in touch without being in the same room. The remote whiteboard is perfect for working sessions or just to gather all the ideas in one place. The video chat and integrations are awesome and they should be adding more and improving them. There's no one perfect platform to do everything, but if you can connect all your tools this comes pretty near.
What do you dislike about the product?
The new history feature is useful but a lot of our team members are using the kanban board. That just has to be improved, regarding task tracking, start and end date, and progress of each task. Also people get confused and suddenly they want to do everything in Miro, We still have to make the differentiation between an open workings space, a task manager and a calendar manger.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Not being in the same room is not a problem anymore, actually is more convenient.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it as a blank space and watch the tutorials on Youtube, the quality is amazing and it helps a lot to understand how to use the product.
Try the template library there are huge and a lot of the works can be reused. Also, don't spend a lot of time working on your own, it's is a collaboration platform so it's more fun when a lot of team member is working at the same time.
Try using the video chat feature, is super helpful to see your teamates while working on each board or frame.

Miro is a powerful tool for collaboration, organization, and design
What do you like best about the product?
Miro has a clear and intuitive interface which possible to collaborate with teams with different backgrounds. From business analysts to designers, the interface is straightforward for everyone. Other things that I love in Miro:
1. The ready-to-use templates simplify the process of imagining a workshop or ice-break moment. If you are working with Agile or Scrum this gets even better;
2. The connection with other apps as Jira and Notion get my organization faster;
3. Timer, voting, presentation mode are good functions for workshops in a big team;
4. Copy and paste images from various other platforms is very easy and intuitive.

What do you dislike about the product?
Miro is almost perfect for tech people, but I think there are tools as Chat and Video-chat are not too visible at first sight. I also miss more colors (for post-its!) and geometric shapes to do good templates. I am waiting for new templates, too.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro is a good tool to:
1. Provide workshop, brainstorming sessions, agile boards, and fun activities for happy hour;
2. Mapping journeys and product roadmaps;
3. Connect a lot of people in less time and decide more;
4. Connect with other apps to make your personal organization;
5. Work in teams from discovery to delivery of digital products, helping to share ideas in a visual and architected way;
6. It is a bridge to thinking and telling ideas, promoting a safe digital space to share;

Indispensable tool for Remote Productivity Teams & Client Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
We use the Zoho One Platform and I'm loathe to pay for more subscriptions, particularly if it's functionality that we can build or adapt for ourselves somehow. Miro, along with Zoom and a few others, is just indispensable. If you use it and commit to taking advantage of its features, it will prove its worth 10x over what it costs in fees. In a remote world, meetings need to be run-well and engaging and Miro is an incredible tool to make this happen and keep things interesting, focussed and collaborative - with team members and clients alike. As well, if you have a measure-twice, cut-once culture, then you need to be drafting, planning and concepting a LOT. Miro is indispensable here.
What do you dislike about the product?
My ONLY ask: I regularly freeze panes and then forget to unlock when I'm cloning items. Would be handy to have an auto-unlock feature with cloning, so you're not left with stranded items as your copying and pasting with elements. Also, manipulating layers is slightly less ideal than in full-blown vector based Adobe Illustrator. It would be nice to have a "move this item 1 layer back" instead of an all-or-nothing "all back" or "all front" option. Spreadsheet integration could also be reexamined. I find it a bit difficult to work with tables, e.g. columns/rows. Also - imports of excel data into Miro auto-defaults to stickers. This is not bad, but it would be cool to have other options (e.g. if it could default into a table format).
Subscriber admin priveleges need to be improved: I wish, as the OWNER of the product that I could administratively manage all projects, even those created by other members of the team. It's frustrating to have to get an employee who is an admin on a project they created to make small edits. At present, I have to wait for them to rename a project, etc. I should be able to have super-master-admin-master-of-the-universe powers if I'm paying for the software.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're an accounting firm and we have found Miro to be useful to help map out Charts of Accounts, to specify recommended child-parent heirarchies, to colour code team members and clients and to help us in mapping/concepting across a million other applications. Oh, and you can use it for live video meetings. I also love it for social media management. We queue up all our posts, draft to our hearts content and then we can then integrate Hootsuite, Soho Social or whatever else we're using to put the final content in. A lot of applications have some level of queuing support, but they're not really best used for drafting/development. Miro succeeds in unmatched blending of almost any type of content together in a visually interesting way. Need emojis? Need mind-mapping toolls - its all there. The number of templates is also crazy. Chances are, some organization has a methodology or concept map that can help you with what you're working with. Clients also love looking at something you prepped & made professional for a meeting rather than just your face blabbing on zoom. Overall, awesome app, definitely 5 stars!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need to collaborate virtually or run meetings more effiicently and track progress week over week - Miro is your friend. It works seamlessly with a project management tool like monday.com or Zoho Project. You will be blown away by he number of workflows that get better with Miro. But, there is a learning curve, and be willing to watch those training videos and really learn all the use cases. Make sure you train your team to get the full benefits.
Great online collaboration and ideation tool
What do you like best about the product?
User-friendly virtual collaboration for a huge amount of participants. Best for virtual research and co-creation workshops. Great tool for virtual team building too.
What do you dislike about the product?
Board sharing/invitation could get tricky if you want to keep team/board members to a certain number. The "lock" function can get tricky because only board owners can unlock them and you have to unlock them every time you need a small edit.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it for design research, co-creation/ideation workshops, research synthesis, and system design thinking. This is a great tool to collaborate virtually and I like to see that how my co-workers have been editing things while I'm away.

Visual freedom for creation
What do you like best about the product?
The platform allows you to have infinite space for thinking visually and sharing with your peers; analizing and creating becomes easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although it contains tons of information, sometimes when opening up some boards loading takes some time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communicating with my team to create and discuss is easier now through the platform remotely than it used to be while sharing the same room without this tool.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Remember collaborating on a whiteboard? Well, picture it now without the complications of physical mess.
Great for collaborating with your team
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using Miro for a year and it is a great tool for collaborating with colleagues. We manage to carry out an activity in half the time by collaborating with several hands, we plan the work and share ideas. We often use live chat to write comments in real time when we are not on call. Templates for creating customer journeys, tables, kanban etc. are also excellent
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing I don't like about Miro. My experience with this tool is very positive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Miro we can carry out an activity in half the time because we collaborate with several hands. We are able to organize activities, tasks, follow the progress of projects and keep them updated.
