The ultimate playground for collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
What I love most about Miro is the flexibility and freedom. I feel like an artist with a blank canvas and a full set of tools to get the job done. Miro is far from boring and encourages users to collaborate in their own way. I've even had members of my teams draw actual artwork next to a collection of sticky notes, just because they can. It keeps people engaged and makes things fun. The possibilites seem endless and make it feel like everyone is standing in front of the same giant whiteboard, no matter where they actually are in the world.
What do you dislike about the product?
This is a nitpick really, but I've had a couple people that struggled with the interface and were contstantly accidentally dragging elements around. I gave them a quick lesson on how to use Miro, but it just didn't seem to click with them. The vast majority of users have no trouble with the interface, though, after just a couple minutes of playing around. I'm not a big fan of forced tutorials, so I'm not entirely sure how to fix this issue, since I think the interface is pretty good already.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've used Miro for road maps, retros, choosing a team name, and as an artistic playground during Team Fun Time. Basically, any time a task would call for a physical whiteboard, I'd much prefer to use Miro instead. It's 2021 and so many users are working remotely. Whiteboards should be a thing of the past.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get in and really play around with it. There's so many wonderful things it can be used for. If you don't know where to start, use a template.
The Unlimited Whiteboard!
What do you like best about the product?
Definitely everything! It is an unlimited whiteboard. I use it for sketching, project development, prototype creation, prepare presentations, taking notes everything. It is super easy to use and manage. It is also good for working from home teams, where you can draw or develop everything with your teammates. Collaboration part is the most important part.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing! It could be a little bit cheaper but it's okay, you've one board where you can use it for everything. Sometimes we face some crashes but then they fix it.
Drawing pencil is not super easy to use it could be developed too
It will be good if we see some integrations with other tools, like Slack, Hubpsot etc.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- It definitely helps me to be more creative. It also helps you to see all the data on one board so that you can develop your project or presentation properly
-I use it for presentations, I develop all the things at Miro and share my screen while presenting.
-New website prototypes, structures, basically the stages before design teams.
-Taking notes for everything
-Event planning: I draw the venue area and add all the related things for planning, table arrangement etc.
-Collaborative whiteboard: working with my peers to develop projects together
-Mind mapping, great for marketing teams.

I will absolutely recommend Miro for everyone! It is one of my love brands. I can't think of a regular day without Miro.
Life with Miro
What do you like best about the product?
A large whiteboard allows us to work with our team efficiently and effectively. Not only with the team, but I also use it when I try to read the long and complicated documents by preparing mindmaps. And whenever we are having an online meeting with our team, I am opening the Miro board to take the notes, and we are using it just like we are in front of the whiteboard in the office.
The other thing is the similarities of the gestures with other design programs. I never feel surprised when I am using it. It is always like how it should be.
Another thing is when i am using the tables, I can quickly put an image in a cell, and the cell is resizing according to the size of the image.

What do you dislike about the product?
The price could be more affordable for an individual user. It is not that I dislike it, but I wish to see the history of the board. Who accessed and when? What changes the other users made on the board?
Also, It would be great if I could reshape the table format like the color of the lines.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro helps me to be more creative. I am collecting all the data I need and creating my own template. Also easily sharing and getting feedbacks from my colleagues. The great thing is when we are using the board as a team I can see who is working where easily.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I do not remember how I was dealing with all these works before Miro. It's in the center of my life now. I appreciate the team behind it. The template library helps me to finish my job quickly when I have limited time to prepare something.
Most intuitive and professional collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
That all skill-levels can easily find their way around, as well as the smooth and proactive layout assistance.
Using Miro has tremedously improved our workshop capacity, especially during Covid and remote-working context, since we can now work in the same space with people from around the globe.
On top of that it let's you design differnet form of workshop experiences: from quite thinking exercises, to interactive brainstorms and in-board presentations.
The platform looks pro and friendly at the same time, which makes clients instantly feel at ease and willing to use it.

What do you dislike about the product?
The thing I struggle the most with is finding the best "starting zoom" perspective. I know usually take a first screenshot, drag and drop it in to know where I have to build from.
It would also be great to know how to integrate comment mentions directly with Slack. The cross-platform integrations are not easy to find and understand. Most companies use other text-based tools like Slack for general project management.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Facilitating remote (international) work sessions and client workshops across time zones.
It has also become my go-to tool to gather all information in one place. Ex: it's way easier to have a competitor audit in such a visual form. THe best thing is that it's not static and that you can always go back to it.

Look at existing use cases and best practices to learn about additional ways of using the platform.
Experiment until you find the right logic for you.

Flexible, full-featured collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Miro is the full set of collaboration features, many integrations, and the Unlimited boundaries on a whiteboard.
The ease of using, such as drag n' drop, URL uploads, video embeds, task lists, chat, frames, presentation mode... all add up to a great collaboration tool that meets my needs when putting together a project or campaign.
The pricing options are thoughtfully set as Miro recognizes its users can be solopreneurs to enterprise and so there is pricing that fits for whatever size business you are. This is unique. Many other companies do not recognize the solopreneur or consultant in their pricing plans.
Miro has become an essential tool for me whether I'm collaborating with clients or subcontractors.

What do you dislike about the product?
Project planning using calendars or more standard task tracking is probably the only downside for me; however, I haven't explored the integrations yet that may be available for onboard project tracking.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Consulting calls with prospects have been converting for me 90% since using a Miro Board on the first call. Using this board enables me to present content to prospects in a way that's easy for them to understand. They value my offer to have access to the board as a reference tool whether they sign on with me or not and the majority have signed on.
Other benefits have been having unlimited boundaries so that I can create a sandbox for each of my skill areas, hoarding content at will! I have even used my boards for home remodeling projects, keeping URLs and images in one place.

Best software development companion!
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is the "jack of all trades," whether If I need to prototype something, document software, pitch ideas, brainstorm; Miro is the way. I like its UX/UI, very intuitive and user-friendly! You won't waste any time learning how to use the platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are sometimes that my internets won't work fine, and when that happens, miro won't allow me to work offline. Either way, that's just a minor issue to me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro has really helped me a lot with software documentation; I needed to have a tool to document the software architecture in a more "fun" and easy way than traditional (E.g., README, Confluence, Wikis). I can draw all the architecture diagrams and have them structured with the align tools. And if I need to explain a concept further, I can embed everything I need to have the idea/concept well grasped.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have a startup and you're a part of an incubator or accelerator, make sure to check if they offer credits for Miro.
Awesome tool! I use Miro to map my funnels and build my landing pages mockups
What do you like best about the product?
The "infinite" white board and the fact that you can always use a bigger space if you need. I used to work on powerpoint/Google slide before but my problem was always the same: I was limited by the space of the slides
I also like the fact that when you "paste" elements, they appear where your mouse is!

What do you dislike about the product?
There is no "line" element!!!! Just arrows, it's so frustrating becauseI could use some lines when designing my landing pages on Miro. Also, I find it really inconvenient not to be able to easily select several elements with the mouse only => having to click on each one + maintain CTRL is a bit time consuming when you have 100 elements to select
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows me to have only 1 work space for all my needs: marketing funnels, facebook ads campaigns plan, landing pages mockups
Recommendations to others considering the product:
TRY IT OUT. Seriously, the free version already allows you to gain so much time!!
Great experience with Miro
What do you like best about the product?
I like the option to create different boards and to share them with different people. I also like the combination of creativity and organization tools that Miro boards allow. It creates a great space to work and collaborate with others. While other boards allow some of these options, the Miro is the only platform that I found that combines all of these useful tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like it when Miro has technical difficulties and doesn't load. It is not happening a lot, but it might be a big problem when it happens just before you are going to work with others and collaborate on this platform. For example, it might happen just when you are starting a workshop or a meeting that you are going to facilitate. I always have a backup plan, but when you worked hard on a workshop or a presentation, you really want to use it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro boards for mapping and planning my strategies, brainstorming ideas, and developing workshops and materials. I also use Miro to facilitate workshops and to collaborate and work with others. Another use is to work with clients and to provide them a wide picture of different materials and opportunities. It's also a great place to store workshop materials and things that I want to come back to and to continue building or working on later.

Miro is a great platform to work with!
Miro - one of our primary day to day tools enabling collaboration in this new virtual world.
What do you like best about the product?
Each Miro board provides a virtual canvas that is shared in real-time amongst associates. The ability for all users to use the board at the same time, everyone can visually see what each other is creating and editing makes it feel like all participants of a meeting are in the same physical space when in fact we are not.
The canvas allows almost anything to be uploaded and provides various tools and app integration. For example, want to mind map? There is a tool for that. Want a chart? there is a tool for that.. want to include a picture? There is integration with Google images..
Miro also provides prebuilt templates that allow you to create a board with content to get you productive faster. Need to have a retrospective? There is a template for that, you can even create your own template if needed.
I highly recommend giving Miro a try the next time you need to collaborate, you will quickly become dependent.

What do you dislike about the product?
We have had challenges with very large Miro boards specific to performance and loading times. If we do encounter issues related to performance, Miro is always very responsive and is consistently improving performance as they go.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As our team continues to expand globally having a collaboration tool like Miro allows for improved communication between locations and associates. It enables the UX team to collaborate with other groups within Cerner such as strategy and development. This collaboration reduces overhead (elimination of meetings while making required meetings more productive) while increasing speed and flexibility in deliverables by having a single medium for design conversations. This provides Designers, Product/Business Analysts, and Developers with the ability to review a complete context of the UX design without the need to review many individual documents.
Amazing resource for UCD and UX research work
What do you like best about the product?
Miro has made virtual workshops AMAZING! Has been absolutely crucial for making remote, collaborative research feasible. The templates have also helped our team learn and grow and expand how we present data (whether it's research or planning or strategy). MIRO has become a CRITICAL part of our daily work as a product team and has been especially useful to keeping lots of disparate data in one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
Organization (project page) is not ideal. It makes it hard to find/re-find boards when collaborating with other team members. I think related is the sharing functionality isn't super easy to get right. Almost every day our team is like, "eek I can't find that board," I know it's on us to implement some kind of organization, but it is hard to keep track of the permissions and folder structure.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are synthesizing and hosting workshops/ideation in a remote setting. We also do a LOT of planning using MIRO (roadmapping, project-specific planning). We have project boards that have our research plan, our designs, feedback on designs, presentations to stakeholders all in one place-- It's been a huge time-saver in that respect.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There is a learning curve for using the tool day-to-day and for some people this visual mapping comes super naturally and less so for others. It probably would have benefitted our team to have a session with a MIRO rep when first implementing or a training of some kind.
