Awesome tool for remote collaboration, brainstorming and prototyping.
What do you like best about the product?
The best of Miro is its ease of customization and power to quickly get the points across, working collaboratively with product folks and stakeholders. Users can join boards and projects together and draft requirements, wireframes, and more.
I use it a lot for wireframing, quick brainstorming, and even research tracking and documenting.

What do you dislike about the product?
It might be somewhat overwhelming to new users as it has many interesting features, that are at times not really needed to be available to everyone.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Remote collaboration, requirement gathering, workshop facilitation. It helps with being aligned with product, business and desgin. During remote-working times, there's much you could do using other tools, but there's so much more you can do while using Miro.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it and learn; it's great to start with a simple project but can also be tackled with a way more extensive project. Miro can accommodate huge amounts of data within multiple or single board
Miro is the tool which gives more spatial and geographical vision to words and ideas
What do you like best about the product?
As a copywriter, I tended to see space with a vertical scrolling view: Miro has subverted this perspective and offered me a horizontal, more spatial view. Miro helps me the most in the brainstorming process.
Miro as a tool allowed me to have a more spatial and geographical vision of words and ideas, to expand the edges of thought, to make them more elastic. And again: I have noticed a more organic and compact process and, last but not least, I was able to adopt card sorting to apply it to my creative approach.
Card sorting is a practical methodology for sorting thoughts and information. Usually conceived as a collective practice, it can be embraced in copywriting projects to create a conceptual framework and perimeter within which narrative strands and ideas for brainstorming move. And which, above all, counterbalances the hyper-creative and gut thrusts that namings and payoffs (two of my primary services as a copywriter) can have.

What do you dislike about the product?
The impossibility to export it in other formats than pdf or cvs
The cards/slides order is sometimes a little bit messy above all if you're planning to do a keynote or an official presentation. Miro may sometimes take too much resource of my computer RAM and will drag my computer to run slowly.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Remote team organizing has a better and more proactive flow, above all now that we need to work remotely from home. Miro has all the tools we need to collaborate on tasks and projects and work in real-time settings. I am thrilled to adopt this software as part of my work system.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro also is an excellent additional software whenever we have an online meeting and let everyone draw to the whiteboard and sharing ideas to improve the meeting process visually.
Really useful tool for community collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
That all the tools I'd usually use face-to-face are available online!
It's really intuitive, so people find it really easy to pick up, and the colours also make it fun and provide a welcome change from using online documents.

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing!? It's a really useful tool and I can't think of anything that I dislike!
Haven't tried the video function so can't comment on this, been using zoom alongside.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are working on food poverty issues at a borough and district level, so are working with a multitude of organsations across different sectors. As we are at the beginning mainly we have been brainstorming and seeing where interests align.
Have also used it to support community organisations steamline their offers and work out what their next steps are. It's great to be able to quickly copy and paste post-its and then use these for another section of the workshop, while retaining the original layout so you can easily look back and see how the conversation has built over time.
The templates are really useful when setting up a board for a session and also for providing inspiration for new ways to facilitate meetings/workshops.
I've also used it to present information that's been collated off of Miro, as it's easy to pull of .pdfs and is a colourful way to present info.
The cursor tool is also a really useful funciton, it can be hard to get people's attention back in face-to-face meetings but being able to pull everyone to you means that you're able to instantly pull peoples attention to what you need them to focus on.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Set up a practice board for the people you will be working with and let them have a go before you do your workshop/meeting.
Also good to offer a session where you go through the tool beforehand before the meeting, to avoid having to troubleshoot for people that are less technologically able during the session.

Miro helps me to organize my mind
What do you like best about the product?
I really like that the way of working is similar to illustrator which is what I use to take notes because it allows me to slide / move in an "infinite" workspace and create tables.
I also like the fact I can duplicate worspaces and share them with other members. It allows me to choose who I want to share it with and also I can see when they are looking at it. Also the reactions and emojis make a really comfortable space where to work at.
I like the fact that I can divide workspaces into subfiles, as I use it for the courses I teach and also the ones I am student at.

What do you dislike about the product?
You cannot add bold and italics inside notes and
Integrate the clock with music from apple or spotify (although I don't know if I would concentrate) probably if I add a playlist exactly for that moment of study or work
It should be able to be grouped in subfolders, at least 3 classification categories, I want it for my notes of each course
More tools for drawing

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly to organize my ideas for essays and the notes I take during my master courses. I first take handwritten notes on my notebook and then I organize them better in Miro.
I also use it with other teachers to plan the classes for students. It is really helpful as we can then duplicate the board and share it with them.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I was reluctant to use it at first, but once I did it I couldn't be more satisfied. Is is actually very intuitive. I come from the field of graphic design, and the fact that many tools work pretty much the same way, made it a lot easier. I don't know why would I do without it, as my mind is very disperse.
The best collaborative tool, ever! I use it for everything
What do you like best about the product?
The easy-to-use templates + the flexibility to adapt the whiteboard to anything you need. Also, the usability is pretty intuitive. I can get people almost of all ages to understand it quickly.
I need to explore more about the Kanban templates and other resources, but I am still learning some Project Management methodologies. With no doubt, I will consider Miro for any project. I migrated from other platforms such as Stormboard, I feel I got everything I need in Miro. I even replaced Trello for Miro for most projects, this is the closest to having our office whiteboard in the cloud.

What do you dislike about the product?
It can be confusing when creating teams. Especially when you are first introducing the platform to not-so-tech-savvy people. Also, Its never clear to me when are all boards or just some of them shared with any given team. So, Im a bit concerned people get access to the information on other boards.
Also, sometimes It takes way too much time to buffer, specially when sharing the screen at meetings. Is there a way to make this better? Does it have to do with the hardware itself? (Do i need to upgrade my computer? haha)
It would be nice to be able to add deadlines for follow-ups and tasks.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I primarily use it for brainstorming and project planning. The best benefit is that you can easily drag and drop videos, links, documents, images, everything; so it makes it really useful for meetings with different stakeholders at the same time.
Also, I like to make timelines and export it to pdfs to share, or print.
For all visual learners, is a great tool to brainstorm and engage.

Miro makes every co-work better, faster and intuitive
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Miro has lots of templates, which gives me many insights on how to conduct facilitations. It is easy to collaborate, even with dozens of people in one session. The features that have been released in the past few weeks seem to develop the interaction experience inside the board.
One of the most important thing nowadays is integration, and Miro fulfill theses needs perfectly.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I struggle to work with data on Miro, being a challenging task to import or export the content that isn't visual alike.
In my opnion, the dashboard in the home is a little bit confusing, many times in a teamwork space, lots of boards are created without a cover, making pretty hard to search the board you want. Besides the fact that you can create folder to organize your job, the boards could have tags to make filters more powerfull.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
First of all, I think Miro is an excellent place to centralize information during creative work. I feel significantly more comfortable using Miro stickers where I can separate themes by tags having a clearer vision of the whole.
When it comes to make collaborative sessions, I use Miro often to make onboardings of new members of the enterprise, conducting ice breakers, team build activities and make design think jobs. I also use to make presentations because I think is far better to make the audience engaged when they have to participate activily.

My advice for those who are considering using Miro is to use templates and Learn & Inspire session.
The easiest online whiteboard
What do you like best about the product?
I can run a remote workshop with people who are entirely new to using an online whiteboard. Miro is intuitive to use, so we don't waste time on getting the hang of the technology.
Unlike a physical whiteboard, I never run out of room - the ideas can just keep on coming!
I love the template library - lots of good inspiration there.

What do you dislike about the product?
The cost for a couple of users is really accessible, but when you have larger teams, it can get pricey. The control of guest users can be a bit frustrating at times. Miro encourages guests to sign up, and then I have to remove them again in order to manage my subscription costs.
Sometimes it's easy for inexperienced guests to move around background items, like table grids, which can quickly get messy. You can lock them, but guests sometimes manage to unlock them. It would be great to be able to lock items permanently to anyone except the creator.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro as a whiteboard while working with people in different locations.
I tend to use it in customer experience work, e.g., journey mapping, empathy mapping.
It's handy for delivering training exercises too.

The go-to tool for anything visual in remote teams and presentations.
What do you like best about the product?
We use Miro in many different ways in the company. It is excellent as a collaborative whiteboard on our meetings with our mainly remote staff to quickly share ideas. I use it also as a presentation tool where I can sketch the concepts and then take the others along my thought process with follow me feature. Its simple yet powerful set of primitives are usually fine for most of our needs, but there are always plugins and extensions when needed. One can add almost anything with drag and drop. Last but not least, comments can be added anywhere, which makes refining anything to be presented to the client very easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's simplicity means it's not the best tool for complex drawings like UML or circuit diagrams, there are better tools for that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The most common use cases we use Miro for are shared whiteboard during meetings, collaborative presentations creating, and UX/UI sketching. But over time, it has become the go-to tool for anything visual. For us, it has completely replaced vector drawing programs, Powerpoint, UI sketching tools, and we even use it for planning and scrum on smaller projects.
Best co-working tool to organize team brainstorming
What do you like best about the product?
- Stable and fluid experience even with relatively large number of people on the platform
- Mind-mapping tools and pre-set templates to organize different discussions
- Lots of extensions - especially the Figma plugin
- Ability to play music during the brainstorming timers

What do you dislike about the product?

- Locking objects is not very intuitive and takes time getting used to

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Can imagine a future where remote work is truly possible because of Miro (and gets better if you own an iPad)
- Free brainstorming discussions where we can collaborate together

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Explore if you can access Miro through partnerships with accelerators etc. or through the personal plan to understand if its right for you and your team. It's truly best if you can experience Miro with a team. It gets better once you learn how to use frames and lock objects so people don't inadvertently move things around.
Next level collaboration tool !
What do you like best about the product?
That you can collaborate in realtime just like in a rooms
What do you dislike about the product?
I sometimes slows don the computor when using teams and Miro together. When sharing the screen with Microsoft teams and running Miro with a large (more than 4-5 people) it quickly eats your memor and everything gets slow. The voting process could be improved a bit. If you have use it to vote on stickers that have been grouped together and you want the group to be the thing you vote on thats not possible. Now you have to vote on only the single individual stickers within that group. Sure you can add upp the nyber of votes to see the totality but a feature to group a number of stickers would be nice. In the beginning it was hard to know the exakt tips and trix I use today to make my life easier. For example knowing that you can select multibple items by holding down the shift key and then draging the mous was something I had to google to find out before knowing. This is now a lifesaver for me and I cant live without it. Having this as some sort of tool tip in the beginning would have been nice.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The retrospectives are perfect to use with Miro and I have realized that in Covid times you can still have collaborative sessions even online

Look through the templates, there are so many good to choose from!
