We have been very pleased using it for creative collaborative work since we started working at home
What do you like best about the product?
i like that many people can be working at the same time, it helps in creative reunions in presential and virtual mode. This is an intuitive platform so its easy to invite to work people who has not used it before. Also i like he colors and editing posibilities in the platform, the minimal design and the typografies. Finally the possibility of mannaging bords in workteams
What do you dislike about the product?
It should have more options and designs in the same diagram. fot example when i make a mind map by hand i like to include pictures as titles an change the settings of the subtopics to higlight strategic points but eith the mind map template of miro that is not possible or at least i don´t know how can i do it. Also its not possible to work offline and sometimes it is neccesary.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mainly in ideation of projects,hen i am tryinf to find out what is going to be the spots to work in a project i need to define the context, i do that with a brainstorming with the team members, since the pandemic started las year and th work at home strategies begin at my office miro became a necessary tool in the daily work
Recommendations to others considering the product:
you should try different templates to find the one that works better with your needs
Miro's template library is fantastic
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is very intuitive to use and has a great template library to choose how to display the information to make collaborating online more efficient.
What do you dislike about the product?
If Miro could develop a way to embed videos into the workspace, that would improve communication.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Miro for brainstorming, storyboarding, flow charting, and general sharing of ideas with and from remote employees. The benefit to Miro is the ease of collaboration across the country.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just try it, they have a free option to use to find your way around, and you will quickly see that there are features that make buying it worthwhile.
Switching from Onsite Workshops only to Remote Workshops only
What do you like best about the product?
Since we started working with miro about 2-3 years ago, we tried to switch our onsite workshops to remote workshops. Basically, to reduce travel costs, make it easier to find a fit in busy calendars and more accessible documentation. The pandemic situation that came up early last year forced us to handle the workshops remote only, and our experiences as well as the new features that miro released made this so so easy. For us facilitators as well as for our clients and partners. By now we can not think about going back with all the benefits that this platform has given us. I love the easy handling and onboarding for "newbies".
What do you dislike about the product?
We had some trouble choosing and setting up a proper account for our organization, partners and clients. Especially with legal and privacy focussed restrictions, we have over here in Germany in corporate contexts. This got better over time and will hopefully improve more and more, so we can set up workshops, accounts, etc. much quicker.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
miro as a Tool helps us on every ideation process and discovery phase, as well as nowadays prototyping solutions and products. In addition it became the common ground and single point of truth for communication in a lot of projects between us as UI designers and UX consultanst and the partners and / or clients. Regarding the workshops, having those fully remote cut a lot of costs on all sides and reduced travel time to nearly zero.
Amazing workshopping / collaboration tool which makes getting things done fun, productive & valuable
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of sharing links to boards with other people.
How people don't need an account to contribute to the boards.
It's an open ended space of organic problem solving.
My favourite feature is the templates feature. Because I can learn how other people go about solving problems.

What do you dislike about the product?
It could be a little bit pricey if you want other users to be involved.
Sometimes the embed element is a bit clunky, We shouldn't have to launch an overlay thing.
Sometimes load times can be too long.

The perfect tool for remote workers that think visually :)
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is the most constantly used software that we have since the pandemic hit our country. It's key to our working remotely from home.
We are really happy adopting this software as part of our work system, even after the pandemic is over.
I personally admire its core features: friendly viewing Canvas, Custom template, screen sharing, Mindmap and Video conferencing.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are some bugs with the screen sharing, like it won't load my audio file and failed to play it... but it works correctly with the video file. I'm sure it's something that will be soon fixed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Online meeting and project discussion in online settings is the strongest feature that Miro is offering to orur team. I'd say screen sharing is the most important and critical feature that me and my team need when we are doing an online meeting for our project discussion, as it will help us to visually showing the computer screen for others to see the point that I'm presenting. And at this, it's really a great tool.
Work Habit Changing!
What do you like best about the product?
Collaboration is incredibly easy within teams. LESS MEETINGS! Plus, less meeting notes. When we can visualize and all contribute during the meeting, there is less weight on the meeting organizer to send out detailed notes after - it's all right there for reference.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like to be able to bring in collaborators short-term, but for more than one day. We almost went back to the free version because it wasn't such a hassle to invite short-term collaborators to a project (marketing to a product meeting for example).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Product Management stuff - brainstorming and collecting ideas for new features and products - to sprint retros with the development teams. We also use it to map out things like SDLC and workflows within the apps. There's even a Design Sprint template that's really user friendly.
Miro keeps our designers connected like never before!
What do you like best about the product?
The seamless collaboration is our favorite! It's almost better than being in the room together.
It's easy to teach and get a session going between those familiar with the program and newbies too!

What do you dislike about the product?
There is very little to dislike about Miro.
It would be useful for the text in the sticky notes to have bold/italics option.
Also, if there was an option to snap lines to be straight.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We solve all kinds of problems with Miro. From compiling research to brainstorming. Miro seems to do it ALL!
Visualization when working with a team of industrial designers is crucial, and Miro has become our favorite place to come together.

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.
Easy Collaboration and Great User Experience
What do you like best about the product?
I have already recommended Miro to many colleagues.
I like the brainstorming with stickies functionality. I typically work with 20 participants and have developed a frame that contains four working areas where each can hold up to 120 stickies.
I also use Toasty which integrates with Miro. This allows me to have breakout groups to sort, group, theme and drill down in the brainstormed comments. I was doing this face-to-face with management teams before COVID-19, and I plan to continue using these tools after COVID because of the ability to have participants from multiple geographic locations which saves time and travel cost.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few inconsistencies e.g. "Bring everyone to me" was working but no longer. Also, the scroll wheel on the mouse used to be able to zoom in and out, now I have to hold the command key while scrolling.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My work is in change management, cultural transformation, and leadership development. My undergrad is behavioural and developmental psychology and literature, grad degree in comparative literature, structural anthropology, semiology and Jungian archetypes, and my post grad research contiues in studying "how" language means vs "what" it means. I develop neuro-linguistic algorythims which are syntactical structures that, when used, will create a predictable behaviour. Culture resides in conversation and Miro allows my participants to collaborate, and while doing so, develop "people" skills.
Better than a physical whiteboard even though you are all in the same room
What do you like best about the product?
What impresses me the most is that MIRO is quick to come out with new features that solve any problems you might have. Every time I think there should be a feature for this, I realize that the tool already has it. For instance, we many times have workshops with quite many people on the board. When someone is presenting something, doing a screen share, it's quite distracting when everybody can't sit still and keeps moving their mouse pointers arounds. Looks like a swarm on the screen. Rather than asking people to stop it, you can simply hide other peoples pointers. Voila, elegant way to solve the problem.
What do you dislike about the product?
I know it would help you guys a lot if I had a list of problems that you can work with, improvements that I'd like to see in the product going forward. But I'm actually very happy with it and it's hard to come up with something that would be needed at this point. The new JIRA integration is something I wouldn't have asked for, but it's fantastic that you have it now.
The only thing would be the way you setup your projects and teams. You have teams, where you can have X amount of projects for.
It's hard sometimes to structure all the boards and get them to reflect your own organisation. Like having Teams, with sub-teams for instance. Adding people to MIRO in general and adding them to the teams always requires one and the same persons approval. Would be great to have several admins like you can have in JIRA where several people can do it. A bit problematic when someone is actually too buys to help or even on vacation.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's a great collaboration tool. We use it for Retrospectives, design workshops, team buildings, plannings and many others. It's a very liberal tool which let's you do pretty much whatever you want and super easy for people to get started with. I don't need separate sessions to teach people the tool before they start using it.
We many times use it as documentation sometimes. Where the MIRO board becomes our source of truth rather than Confluence. As it's so much easier to get the layout and look you want in MIRO compared to Confluence, many times we just keep the board we workshopped around as documentation. Not sure if there are, but if there is a way to version control and things to use more like documentation, perhaps that can help with some future business opportunities ;)
