Finally the tool I need
What do you like best about the product?
As responsible for the roadmap at our company, I need a tool to give me a good overview of the quickly changing situation. The roadmap is a combination of internally prioritized topics and customer requirements for upgrades. Building a consistent roadmap for the single epics, features, I am in continuous sync with different projects and their timeline. Weekly I share this information across the various stakeholders in the company - R&D, sales, management, product management, project.
The MIRO allows me to achieve the best visibility without going into technical details like in JIRA. I use only the Kanban template, which allows moving features and scheduling them very quickly to the single releases. I feel better organized and have better control over the situation.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is the possibility to create JIRA tickets for each card, which is good. It would be great to have also the option to create presentation slides for the boards.
I also tried the roadmap template with resource planning. Not flexible enough to add teams and to add members to the team. Depending on the requirements, we could enlarge a team for a particular release and decline another group. I expected features like "Drag&Drop" or "+" (add a team), (add a member to the team) or add a column to the template.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I described this in the last part. Collect requirements and build a roadmap, which I share with various stakeholders in the company.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try different templates. Learn how to, and I am sure you will like it.
Versatility brought to life
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use. Extreme versatility to get ideas across.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are very few things to dislike about Miro. And they are constantly adding functionality. It just gets better and better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Kanbans for projects. Ideation for problem solving. Workflow illustration. Video scripting. Agile stories and actions. I haven't even begun to scratch the surface. Only limitation is my own creativity.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The free version has all the functionality but is limited in the number of boards and size of teams. As an independent consultant with future work not guaranteed, I cannot afford the subscription, but the free version meets and exceeds my current needs. However, I would recommend that large organisations pay the subscription fees and roll this out to teams collaborating locally, and especially remotely. The real time collaboration is amazing.
Awesome Tool!
What do you like best about the product?
Miro has been a great tool for collaborative workshops for my team. It's extremely easy to use - for folks with varying levels of comfort with technology and has come in very handy while working remotely. It's really great at quickly being able to put together process maps. I really like how you can connect arrows directly to process boxes, and how they track with the boxes as you reformat. It has really decreased the time I spend meticulously putting together process maps, and helps me focus on the actual content / through process of what I'm creating.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were more graphic tools and capabilities. I usually will create visual materials in another program like Figma and then import them into Miro. There is not a lot of flexibility with shapes, colours, etc. But at the same time I guess that's not what Miro is aiming to do. Perhaps it would be helpful as an admin to be able to get contributors to "Follow" you, instead of having to ask them to "follow" you every time you go to another location on the board.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Miro to help us in gathering, synthesizing, visualizing user feedback. It's very beneficial in collaborative activities. It helped us understand pain points, work together to do things quickly but with a rich experience. I find it very helpful to gather a large quantity of feedback at once. Miro is also helpful in enabling those who are less comfortable voicing their opinion to contribute to the conversation in a more comfortable medium (e.g. contributing on a "sticky" to a digital whiteboard.)
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out! It takes very little time to set up and learn how to use it, so there's no hurt in trying. It might be a great tool for your next collaborative project/activity, and it's really fun to get creative with the icebreakers you can do on Miro.
One of the best ways to design and follow up projects
What do you like best about the product?
One can play with many types of structured mind maps, with several team members across the globe, from Portugal, Colombia, Germany; Sweden and Spain.
It's intuitive to select and try out several canvas and interact and create relations between them. The design is seamless to understand.
It is easy to share globally, and with several team members, of different projects in the free version.
I first found it in workshop made by ONU-HABITAT, and it was easy to interact and contribute to new and diferent ideas to solve complex challenges, with diverse stakeholders in several countries in real time.

What do you dislike about the product?
There might exist a few templates or guidance when first doing some brainstorming. For example, in slidebean they guide you with a shared template to pitch the ground for the first try. It would be great if there's also a way to follow up on tasks through a Gantt timeline.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using Miro to solve public policy problems and to follow up on start-up business plans. I first found it in a workshop made by ONU-HABITAT. It was easy to interact and contribute to new and different ideas to solve complex challenges with diverse stakeholders in several countries in real-time.
Also, I am using it to design and execute two business plans with two private companies across the globe. And to sum up, I also use it as my mind map of personal and professional life goals.

So good for whiteboarding that we use Miro even when we have an actual whiteboard in the room
What do you like best about the product?
Seamless collaboration, no different from if you were really in a room with the other people on the board. Easy to see what your colleagues are seeing. Intuitive to navigate even a large board with hundreds of elements, not much lag, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
iPad and iPhone experiences leave much to be desired – slow and it's painful to try to direct the software to understand if you're moving an item or trying to move yourself. Also, I think you definitely need an external mouse to use Miro because using a trackpad for it hurts my entire hand (and soul). But honestly – Miro is still the best out there. I tried a competitor (Lucidspark) last week just out of curiosity, and it was so awful to use that it sent me fleeing back to Miro within a day.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro is the best for breaking down any complicated problem in life. I've used Miro to figure out everything from a software platform (for work) to a new app for a fitness studio (for a friend) to outlining a novel and deciding how to hunt for a house (personal projects). Half an hour on the board helps everyone get their unspoken assumptions out in the open for more effective problem-solving. Love the large template library – some of my favourites include the User Story Map and 2x2 matrix.
Good for collaboration. wfh, remote collaboration. Need more templates
What do you like best about the product?
The kanban board, the frames, the icon library, history checking and comments
What do you dislike about the product?
I cannot import my LUMA template within an existing board. Creating a template from scratch is fine but importing into an existing board is impossible.
It becomes a bit laggy when there are too many items on the board. It can be laggy when using miro on a vpn internal network
copy and paste is weird that I can only use ctrl c/v to copy paste. the copy paste sometimes does not paste what I copied on my working document
Miro does not allow me to import excel sheets into a table
Wish there was a way to group boards into projects within the same team

Powerfull and simple to use virtual white board
What do you like best about the product?
Very intuitive to use and with a lot of tools. Also, a good plethora of external integrations makes it even more helpful.
I also like the voting option, and the adition of the possibility of music during the time is also a small but great idea.
The possibility to organize several boards in projects makes it easier to navigate once we have a lot of boards.
The jira integration is great not only to create user story mappings but also to create tickets in jira after a brainstorm session or after a retro.
Another thing that I like a lot is the miroverse where we can find a lot of templates to use and also share easily our template with others.
The reply time from their support and the time to fix issues when I tried it was also very good and exceeded my expectations

What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing model is a bit expensive, although the possibility of public editing and sharing with a password helps a bit.
It also tends to be a bit more hungry and doesn't cope well when you have too many small elements in one boards, making it rather sluggish

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used it mostly for team collaboration, visual facilitation, asynchronous communication and visual note-taking.
It allows for good team collaboration and everyone is at ease working with it.
It helped quite a lot facilitating remote meetings since it made visible what we where talking about

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use first the free version to try it out. There's also a trial version that allows us to experiment the paid features.
If you plan to use it with huge whitboards with a lot of small objects be sure that your PC has 16 Gb of memory

Miro is the new trace for designers
What do you like best about the product?
Miro lets me sketch with my colleagues, it is better than sketching on trace because we can literally sketch in the same place. The only limiting factor is the size of my pen tablet. I can also leave notes for them when they are not around, with pictures or whatever is useful for giving feedback.
What do you dislike about the product?
Miro can be a little slow, especially when I am sketching and am making a lot of little lines quickly. It can also get slow when the board is full of lots of images.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My teams are able to sketch while working from home! It keeps all of our sketches in one place. I can see what everyone is working on. It is easier to save sketches for referring to later.
Excellent and Easy to use tool for collaboration and communication
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is my go-to collaboration tool for pretty much any collaboration as it enables our team to effectively communicate our thoughts and ideas through visualisation. It has plenty of useful features for workshops (think all the basics plus timer and voting - my favourites ), integrates with a large number of modern tools and comes with a great collection of templates. I love that I have the information I need in one place, and never lose anything.
I started using Miro about 7 months ago and now I use it every day. Super easy to learn and use, their Youtube Channel has plenty of tutorials.

What do you dislike about the product?
So far there's nothing I don't like about Miro.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Strategic direction workshops, planning and estimating in the software development context, brainstorming for educational workshops and Process mapping to name a few.
Miro acilitates communication and collaboration through visualisation.

The Perfect Collaboration Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Many things:
- Ease of use
- Many templates to choose from, saving huge amounts of time for the administrator of the "event"
- Viewing other cursors (brings a feeling of collaboration for a remote team)
- Pricing seems fair, unlike some tools that charge more for the same kind of features
- Simple tools available for getting started immediately, and extensive features for those who want to dig deeper and get the most out of the tool
- Specifically, I like the ability to create mockups of Web Applications using the wireframe
- Sticky notes!
- Commenting on other people's work, which again helps collaboration

What do you dislike about the product?
Not much:
- The default scrolling is extremely annoying because it's "click-and-drag". Scrolling around the page using a trackpad is far more intuitive and easy.
- It took me a while to work out how to change navigation settings
- This could be from my own limited knowledge of the tool and not necessarily an issue for others

Miro brings collaboration back, and dare I say it, I believe this tool is easier to use than to work together in person!
Having worked collaboratively in person and also through Miro, I greatly appreciate the ability to work in the exact same space without getting in someone else's way. Physically, I had to stand in line to move sicky notes around, but with Miro, it's magic!
