Online Whiteboarding made for a successful thesis project
What do you like best about the product?
Frictionless user experience and easy for guests to use. Much better than Docs or any other online brainstorming/collaboration platform I've used as a student. Easy to collaborate within a group as well as working with outsiders to aggregate information and address issues. Helpful for visual learners and those trying to "put the pieces together" more than any other platform. Quick responses whenever I've reached out for customer support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Very few downsides. Core concept is simple and easy to use, and I've found features for every idea that I consider implementing on a board. I think they have space to improve the templates or make them more modular so getting started is as easy as plug-and-play, but that's just opportunity for upside!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Used Miro in a process improvement project with a number of distinct teams all working together. Miro allowed me to aggregate their ideas and questions along a project timeline and allow them to build off of each other. I worked to faciliatate their discussions and found that Miro was very fluid and easy for all parties to understand.
It's the main tool I use for brainstorming and quick workshops with my team.
What do you like best about the product?
How fast it is for me to grab any template and start adjusting it for all of the different purposes: collaborative whiteboard, roadmapping, scoping, brainstorming sessions, retrospectives, planning, even for presentations.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some minor functionalities are not as intuitive or efficient as your regular Figma or Sketch user is used to. (Being able to select multiple objects at once, color palette is restricted, the color eyedrop functionality doesn't work), fonts are very limited.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaborating and working remote, being able to set up any type of planning file real quick with all of the existing templates.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's not a tool for high fidelity design mockups, it's a tool for quick sketching, quick mapping, brainstorming and collaborative whiteboarding. For that it is perfect.
Does So Many Things Well
What do you like best about the product?
It's a little bit of a jack of all trades, which might make you worry that it's master of none, but this far I have found that it does everything I want ro a very high degree of capability. From retrospectives, to brainstorms and mindmaps, it's handled all my needs with aplomb.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although it does all of the things I need really well, sometimes it feels less intuitive than I might like...for example the mindmapping has some quirks that feel like they are intentional but I cannot see why. One example is that if I move nodes around, other nodes will sometimes nudge up/down in response, as if to stop it things overlapping, but the space between the nodes is huge so it cannot be. It's certainly not a prolem I cannot work around, but it definitely has caused the odd exclamation of annoyance.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it in my workplace for planning and retrospecting, and in my university studies to gather data and plan my research.
Very exhaustive all-in-one tool that really changes the game for remote & in-person work.
What do you like best about the product?
The collaboration features, timers, bringing everyone to your view. It's a very thorough digital whiteboard that's more than for just taking notes. It also has a lot of great integrations with several other apps.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be quite intimidating for new users, especially if you're working with clients. Instead of having everything accessible, I would reduce the amount of tools & options to only the most common handful, and have the rest accessible via an 'advanced options' view of sorts for power users. I would also look into having a more restricted viewport for 'basic' users so that they're not completely lost on an infinite whiteboard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Remote work brainstorming & alignment- much better than to use a doc etc. We sometimes even use it instead of a physical whiteboard in the office because it has a permanent digitized record.
Product Designer
What do you like best about the product?
I'm on the product design team where I have to collaborate with my cross-functional teams on a daily basis so it's extremely important that there is an efficient way of communicating and leaving feedback. I would have to say that Miro is by far my favorite tool that I currently use on a daily basis because it allows me to collaborate effectively with my colleagues. (especially the comment tool where you can tag your colleagues)
We have weekly internal design reviews with the UI & UX team where we all present our work and also have the ability to visually collect notes on the same artboard so that everyone on the team is aligned.

What do you dislike about the product?
So far, not much actually. The only thing I was trying to figure out is how to go back to a comment history once you resolve the issue. But other than that, everything else is pretty intuitive and easy to use.

I would highly recommend this tool to not only designers but companies that work with cross-functional partners.
Best online collaborative white board platform
What do you like best about the product?
It is currently the best online platform to create and visualize information collaboratively. Working remotely has brought many challenges for professionals all around the world and, without a doubt, Miro is one of the platforms that truly helped this migration. It is very user friendly and just overall easy to learn and navigate through. As a creative professional who works with a lot of corporate people (that are used to sheets and docs) , "the Miro experience" is a breath of fresh air, an opportunity to have different insights and to participate more actively. I cannot see myself conducting workshops without Miro, at least not while working remotely. It is also the definitive online / remote way to analyze and extract valuable information from a large amount of data. The templates are great as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
It sometimes takes a lot of time to load and it can become slow once you have too many post it notes. It would be nice to have more color options for post it notes. It can be a bit overwhelming for newcomers, considering all functionalities available today. It would also be nice to "hide" certain bits of the screen, some of its interface like the toolbar and zoom options
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly solving business and design problems. However, we are introducing Miro today to some developers and trying to insert it to help them solve their problems as well. As a UX Designer and Researcher, the problems are mostly about user interaction and mapping users needs based on research
The Next Level for Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
There is an amazing amount of flexibility on the base application. Add the plugins, and it becomes an even greater productivity and creativity beast! I'm using it almost every day for meetings and general creative work. There is also an amazing amount of information on all of the templates from so many different providers. It almost becomes a knowledge library in it's own right.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like to see more text formatting functionality, with that I would even consider it as a full replacement for Google Slides. I also wish there would be a multi-language introduction that helps unregistered users to learn the tool without me having to facilitate it and that the users can use at their own pace. Locking the templates can also be some what frustrating. Also I think there should be a feature where admins can limit what users can do. So, for example, if you just want people to put stickies without connectors or text boxes that would be great. Some less tech savy users have a hard time with that. Also I wish you could change the orientation of the video call boxes either horizontal or vertical.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am collaborating, creative mapping, work material creation, presentations. I'm able to do all these things in one place. I can see my work more visually and communicate it much easier in this virtual world.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are other options out there, but in my opinion, Miro is the best. They keep getting more and more features and content. Honestly, I like it so much, I'd love it to become part of Google's Workspace! That would just be AMAZING and fantastic boost to Google Jamboard.

The best collaboration tool during and after remote-working period
What do you like best about the product?
Basically, all use-cases and things that I and my team ever need were already there. My favourite ones are: blind time-limited voting, a bunch of pre-ready templates, timers, batch option for sticky notes, what's changed in the meantime...
What do you dislike about the product?
There are no downsides I can come up with. It's pretty easy to collaborate with peers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
During the pandemic period, it was pretty challenging to find a way to collaborate with team members without writeable walls in the office. Having brainstorming via some shared Doc and video call had its limitations, then we have realized how easy it is to use the Miro and have a limitless whiteboard :D
It's even better than writeable walls in the office since it's digital and we can come back to it at any time in the future and do the follow-up. I also find it useful for mind mappings either for individual purposes or for team's ones.

Easy collaboration, working from anywhere
What do you like best about the product?
Miro has a ton of powerful tools for collaborative visual thinking. The ability to click anywhere and start creating is useful and so is the seemingly endless canvas. Unlike a competitor product I'd used, Miro is easy on system resources so the browser version is not a problem to use, although I prefer the native app. The learning curve is minimal, being able to have participants contributing in a matter of minutes with a few simple instructions.
The product is also constantly being updated to improve what users care about.

What do you dislike about the product?
Version control is still a bit lacklustre, even with the new update. I'd like more options for stickies colours.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping teams have deep discussions about what is important to them in a guided, structured process that Miro enables. Additionally, Miro allows asynchronous and synchronous working in and outside of these sessions so we're able to think together in flexible ways. Being a visual tool, some of what may have remained conceptual or otherwise ambiguously interpreted with dialogue alone is enriched as people are able to express themselves in creative ways such as spatial expression of ideas.
