What do you dislike about the product?
- Need a team to truly get the most of Miro
- 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
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look through the templates, there are so many good to choose from!
Just what we needed
What do you like best about the product?
Miro has many templates to choose from. When we needed the functionality of a physical whiteboard to manage day to day projects and move items around, Miro had what we needed. Since WorkFromHome began for our company, we use Miro on a daily basis because of how easy it is to move the items on our virtual "whiteboard" around and how much it looks and feels like our physical whiteboard in the office. It is easy to use and figure out as well - we got Miro up and running in one day.
What do you dislike about the product?
You can be pretty clunky in Miro, but sometimes if you're not too careful or moving too quickly, you can easily select an item from the board that you didn't mean to.
Other than that, we haven't had issues.
Other than that, we haven't had issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro is helping us function exactly the same as we would in the physical office, but virtually as our team works from home.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly recommend Miro if you want the look and feel of a physical whiteboard but in a virtual environment. Also, if you're working on any kind of project that includes collaboration and visualization, this is a great tool.
An enjoyable program
What do you like best about the product?
I used this board to share with a number of people in a workshop remotley to do some problem solving and found Miro to be an excellent tool to navigate and faciltate around this. The sharing and interactive aspects of this were probably my favoutite feature of Miro alongside the aesthetics of creating good slides too.
What do you dislike about the product?
we had to share the link of the MIro boards to all the people on the training and I would say around 20% really struggled in some way accessing the screen or using the board features for the first time. The scroll and and move functions seemed to create barriers for some.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been trying to do some Theory of Change problem solving, using a SWOT analysis and PESTLE models as well as an evaluation framework
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Spend a bit of time learning how to make basic presentations and use the community to support with any aspects to develop a better understanding of the capabilities of the software
The ULTIMATE collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
It's very easy to use and has a rich set of features, including numerous templates and tools that are useful for agile teams as well as general collaboration. It's unlimited whiteboard size lets whatever you're working on grow organically without constraints, which is a boon for creative and collaborative work.
What do you dislike about the product?
Organisations are typically resistant to use it in my experience, out of concern that they will be putting sensitive information on a platform that is outside of their domain. It can take a few seconds to show that there is content on a newly loaded space, which might be confusing for those new to the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration - particularly post-Covid-19 - is increasingly between remote participants, making online tools an essential aspect of any facilitator's approach. The suite of tools and templates provided within Miro, combined with its incredibly intuitive user experience, means that Miro is now arguably BETTER than in-person collaboration for many situations. I've managed everything from 2-person brainstorms to hundred+ participant planning sessions, doing everything from mindmaps to PI planning, including photos, virtual post-it notes, and even embedded JIRA cards and it all just works! It's painless, easy, and effective.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a go; you can use it on a small scale for free and that's definitely the best way to get to grips with it. Only you will know if it will work for you, and trying it is the best way to find out.
Incredible tool. Online collaboration is now engaging
What do you like best about the product?
The "infinite" space to work on. It allows boards to grow indefinitely as our engagement with clients continues over time, without the need to add more and more links to different boards; this also allows you to look at the team's own journey from the beginning. I also love the new functionalities on Video calls, chats and reactions.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be awesome if we'd have the option of making the video calls full screen from time to time. Sometimes you just want to see each other and not the board, and for that reason, we are still using Miro while having a call using another app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaborating virtually
Great collaboration and brainstorming tool which I recommend to everyone!
What do you like best about the product?
I love how fluid and intuitive the interface is. It means I can brainstorm and diagram and map out things myself and work in a collaborative context with others without being delayed or hindered by the program. The pop-up editing tools and quick grips are especially useful, I used to always prefer pen and paper for initial mind mapping and such, but with Miro, I can be almost as quick and end up with a result that others can read!
I also love that I can add multiple templates onto one board, as I don't always know when starting what will be needed.
I like that you let people have 3 free boards. This allows us to try it out prior to paying for a team account for our work area. And, it's great that we can still have three free boards after that, as this helps me make some personal maps without them having to be in the main project team space.

What do you dislike about the product?
I was going to say difficulting in window selecting objects but thought I should quickly google that and found out that yes, indeed, Miro does that (hold Shift when using the Select tool)
The other trouble is that while frames work well, if you want to print out multiple frames into a PDF in a certain order, that doesn't work.
One other thing that is sometimes irritating - when I drop post-it notes in an area that already has, for example, a mind map laid out, they appear some large default size and do not take into account the size of the shapes in the existing map. This means I have to

Mapping out high level flows
Conceptual Diagrams
Grouping of (post-it note) ideas as a team, to determine priorities and next steps
Benefits include doing these things easily and in visually clear and attractive ways, doing multiple things in one space, and live collaboration which works great for team meetings.

Miro, a wonderful tool!!!!!
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is simple to use and powerful in the tools it offers. It is important to note that it allows us to synchronize our work on other devices and even on the web.
It softens our writing, makes it clearer and allows us to do many, many things. There is no limit!!!!
I use it a lot for my classes and they get better and more creative thanks to Miro.

What problems are you solving with Miro?
Thanks to Miro, I am managing to teach my math classes remotely (from a distance), due to the COVID pandemic.
Before, I used my cell phone as a WebCam and it was very bad. In addition to not getting sharp, using the cell phone, I had to use applications, supports, etc., which made it very difficult for me.
What benefits have you seen?
Like Miro, I managed to solve several problems, reducing the amount of things I used before, and now the digitizer, Miro and the computer are enough.
In addition, I gained in clarity, class time and preparation time to start classes. Practicality when integrating with my students and, importantly, allowing a more pleasant and creative interface.

The ultimate tool for online collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is easy to learn and use, and it becomes more powerful as long as you keep using and exploring it. Miro is rich of templates, both pre-filled and blank, that also help you drive through understanding and using different brainstorming or planning methods, as well as tools to manage and organize information.
Its interface is friendly, quick to understand, and contains mostly all the elements needed to pursue a wide range of visual representations.
Pricing is average if compared to other competitors; though, with a 1-person account you can exploit a large amount of features - I actually still did not exploit Miro at its full potential.
Sharing and collaborating is made simple; when I use it in my training sessions, people love it and get to use it very fast and easily.

What do you dislike about the product?
I actually DO NOT DISLIKE anything. If there's something I would improve, I'd say:
1) Text features in "sticky notes": they could be better and exploit the same features of text boxes;
2) Image export: when there are Frames on the board, it could be easier to export images directly by means of frames.
3) In some cases, people may have difficulties in using Miro through firewalls or VPNs. It is recommended to tell people who will collaborate on Miro to disconnect from VPNs and/or to ask their network administrators to enable people to use Miro within their companies' networks.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I could draw and export several diagrams for my presentations (concept maps, flowcharts, org. charts...).
As a trainer, it is crucial to help people collaborate on a wide range of topics during my online classes.
Also, using Miro during online classes makes them interactive and "animated", what makes them be well accepted by people and gain high grades in training satisfaction.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I'd just suggest to try all similar products. I discovered that Miro had the best interface, was the easiest to use, free features are a lot more than other competitors, and pricing is average - even better in most cases.
The best visual collaborative board so far!
What do you like best about the product?
Miro allows you to design complex or simple boards without having to go through an intense training. The tool is user-friendly and full of inspiration in the templates section. I took me a day or two to familiarize myself to the tool, which seemed a little complex at first, but wasn't in the end. There are juste so many possibilities it can be a bit overwhelming, so taking a concrete example to apply your learnings to directly was the best solution I found. After over a year of use, I still haven't explored 30% of the features and capacity of the tool, which offers new features about every week!
What do you dislike about the product?
The Help pages contain a lot of tips, but some specific points are sometimes a little hard to find about. An instant chatbot could go a long way helping us get to the proper solution faster. There are a few features I'd like to see in the tool to make it even better, but it's really super technical stuff, which don't change my global experience, and I'm sure they'll appear in time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro allows me to do several things:
-Store information in an oraganized and visual way - completing the use of other tools such a Drive
-Make information visual to share with my colleagues and clients: especially project timelines
-Offer collaborative space during workshops for clients and partners to be creative on, on both "fun" or more strategic topics

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking for collaborative tool for your own use or to share with your team or clients, making information viusal and supporting your remote workshops, this tool is for you! After comparing several tools, we settled on this one and even convinced our partners to get on board:)
