Indispensable Platform for Everything
What do you like best about the product?
My company uses Miro for everything. For hours every day, I am using MIro. The expansive collaborative workspace allows for unrestricted work. The dynamic tools within Miro allow for working in different ways: planning, system mapping, workshops, etc.. The UI allows for working quickly and it is beautiful to boot.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish Miro would restrict the number of characters in a sticky note. It is so obnoxious when people write novels in one. It gets in the way of the one-idea, one-sticky note principle we try to use in workshops.
I wish I could choose the direction and style of tiling when I expand the pages from a PDF. Same with copying in cells from Excel.
I wish that Miro would automatically change the board preview section to a snapshot of the most-used area of the board.
We like to use the link-to feature for break-out rooms. It is sometimes difficult to explain to guests that they need to click the tiny arrow in the upper right-hand corner of the object. I wish there were a more expanded button section. This would help with break-out rooms, UX/UI wireframing, and self-guided workshops.
I wish I could import SVGs
It would be cool to have a window in miro that scrolled, so you could use a multi page document without having to expand it.
It would be cool if pressing space bar brought up a floating tool menu like in CAD programs.
I use the ntoifications tab to see what comments are left for me. I wish there was a button right up front that I could click to go to the comment. Most of the time I want to see where the comment was placed.
Why is the searching board content only an enterprise feature? Thats lame.
I wish I could create parent/child elements like in UX/UI software so I could create branded elements and make changes throughout a board.

Miro is fantastic and beats competitors.
Great tool for teachers
What do you like best about the product?
I've been using Miro in my classes since schools were closed in Germany. It's an excellent tool for working together in groups, collecting and organizing information, and presenting it to the class. It's easy to use, and students of all ages had no problems understanding the different features and the various ways to communicate and interact. Scrolling through the change history of a whiteboard is very useful since students sometimes delete items by accident. So it's easy to restore these items. I also plan to use Miro when students come back to school again because it's easy to use on mobile devices like tablets or smartphones.
The most helpful feature is the different shapes which can either be inserted pre-filled or blank. With just one click, you can add more aspects to the page and shape it individually.
Students can communicate very easily when working simultaneously through the chat, but they can also leave comments for their classmates when they work at different times or at different speeds.

What do you dislike about the product?
I don't dislike anything about Miro. I've been using it in different scenarios for different age groups, and none of them had any significant issues using Miro.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In homeschooling times, it was hard to find interactive ways to work in groups or teams and present results for everyone. Miro helped solving this problem.

Miro has been offering easy access to the education plan. See their website for further info.
A great tool for creative collaboration for design agencies
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility of tools makes it incredibly easy to collaborate between creative teams. Miro makes it easy for newcomers to use a digital whiteboard even if they have never tried a similar application before. You can use it on desktop computers or phones and tablets, and it's best on touch screens.
One of the great advantages of Miro is that it allows you to create a digital work environment that allows you to collaborate with your teammates in real time.
Once on a board, you can see where each team member is (through a cursor with their name), while everyone can modify their content at the same time.
In addition, you can make a video call from the same platform and share a screen.

What do you dislike about the product?
The onboarding process can be a little overwhelming for non-tech people. The only problem is that its free version limits many of these features, making it perfect for singles or very small design teams. If you have more than three people who need to use a whiteboard app, consider paying for Miro.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro helps us collaborate between our designers without the need of being on-site in the studio. The main board has a variety of templates you can insert, such as kanban boards, flowcharts, mind maps, etc. The rest of the whiteboard space remains empty and you can insert various templates. This is a fantastic way to use different brainstorming methods on a whiteboard.
Collaboration is a key element of Miro. You and team members can chat and send messages, add comments, leave sticky notes, and create a centralized note for meeting items. You can also link and embed into other team apps such as Slack. The premium version also includes video chat, voting and screen sharing.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro can be adapted to the needs of your organization, if you find a way to integrate it into your work processes.
A great example is the Kanban board that allows you to visualize the flow of tasks, prioritize them and assign them to different members of your team. The cards allow you to add comments and mention other users.

Broaden integrated popular collaboration tools and great academy content
What do you like best about the product?
Visualization ideas and collaboration between teams, add-on/extension and integrated to popular business/creative apps to maximize productivity. Save time, cost, and effort.
What do you dislike about the product?
Difficult move objects, resizes and format via Web based; a little different between windows app and web base.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Get more ideas about saving (somethings) via reflect opposite games/ideas (saving energy in this office); benefit with the Miro was collecting some weird ideas but very useful in the other ways of viewing the problems.
We got solution by implementing controls to resists all ideas (not saving energy) case-by-case and get priority to get comprehensive solution.

Miro change how I collaborated!
What do you like best about the product?
Since the start of the pandemic and being sent home to work remotely, I was searching and searching for something to help with collaboration. I wanted something for the team I led and to work with others outside of it. Miro gave me that! It is where we brainstormed ideas, mapped out projects, and much more.
What do you dislike about the product?
I honestly don't have anything I dislike about the app. I'm not just saying that either. I checked it out when it used to be called Realtimeboard (or something like that) and it has come a long way. Even last year they were working on new feature after new feature and it really shows!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As I previously stated, I was looking to solve the loss of working in an office and having that collaboration that came with it. In Miro, I have everyone on the same board sharing ideas. This is what was missing. Even when we occasionally were in the office last year, we still used this across departments or if someone was working remotely that day.
Great tool, I just love it!
What do you like best about the product?
Very intuitive, visual, collaborative, I love that the boards are borderless and that you can easily rearrange all kinds of elements (post-its, pics, diagrams,...). Also, the templates are great! The tutorials (Miro Academy) are quite helpful to move to a more advanced usage.
Very useful to brainstorm as an agile team building software solutions.
I even use it on a personal level to collect screenshots and articles worth keeping for later analysis.

What do you dislike about the product?
A detail: CMD + K shortcut not available to link a single word.
Sometimes a board can bet a bit laggy (but that is probably because I have one with a LOT of stuff, I'm impressed it doesn't get slower).
Boards only load when you're actually on the tab (you can't just open the tab and wait for the board to load while you're doing something else in a different tab)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro helps me brainstorm with the teams, define product specifications, and gather valuable visual information for later, all in one place! It also helps to organize ideas and draft presentations.
MIRO has let me keep working collaboratively with clients virtually. It's a life saver!
What do you like best about the product?
The flexability and access to top-tier templates.
What do you dislike about the product?
The space switching on the left caused confusion for some of our internal users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We initially used MIRO as a process mapping tool to replace whiteboards during lockdown. We have since adopted it for nearly every meeting we have. It provides structure to virtual calls and acts as a record of the meetings. It's also replaced multiple tools such as VISO, Trello, PowerPoint, and various wireframing tools.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
When rolling out the enterprise or organization level accounts be careful of rogue users that create their own organizations and invite people. I found 2 additional MIRO instances once we began the rollout of the enterprise accounts.
Miro enabled me to work in a completely new way.
What do you like best about the product?
The infinite canvas allows me to feel comfortable in putting all ideas in one place. Another of my favorite features of the product is the well-designed tool UI. At first glance, it seems simple, but at a deeper look, there are a lot of features available. This helps to not overwhelm the user when they start using it.
What do you dislike about the product?
The desktop app could have more functionality. Additionally, I would like to have more options to collaborate with external tools, such as Google sheets and similar.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For me, Miro has been most useful in making very complex problems simple. It allowed me to break down difficult concepts from my daily consulting work into manageable pieces while having all the information available on the same canvas.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is useful to spend a good amount of time preparing boards in advance and make sure that different groups of users are comfortable using them - especially those who are not experienced.
Another common mistake that I've seen is forgetting to lock the items before sharing - it is a good practice since mistakes can happen and collaborators can edit items by accident.

Miro Review
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to create mindmaps and layouts for presentations, particularly for photography. I can upload my photographs, see the relationship between the images and make a selection of the ones I want as finals. Miro also allows me to resize images and be able to get an idea of the image proportions in relation to one another. I can duplicate images in order to arrange them into a series of what the final presentation of the photos will look like. Being an artist and designer, miro is crucial to my process as it allows me to break down my entire process by creating a roadmap. I can map out different stages of my process to keep track of what stage I am currently in and how much more work I need to do to complete a project. Most importantly, Miro allows me to share my work with other people, and I am in control of whether the person I invite onto my board can edit, comment or view. This feature is beneficial for collaboration as it allows all group members to work on the same project from different locations.
What do you dislike about the product?
The usability can be difficult to understand at first. The images appear small and the user has to adjust them to their liking. The select button can be confusing as well as it is interchangable from being a move tool and selecting tool. The user simply has to click on the cursor button on the left hand side of the screen. All of these issues are minor and only need explanation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro helps me break down art and design projects and simplify them into subtasks. It is also beneficial in creating a layout of the presentation.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is the best platform for collaboration as it allows one to create boards that they can use to communicate or break down ideas for themselves and others. For me, it is helpful because of the freedom it allows me in my creative process. Miro also has various templates for people who wish to work with ease and do not want to create their format. They also assist should a user need assistance. I have written based on my personal experience with Miro as an artist, but honestly speaking, it is beneficial regardless of the industry that one is working in.
Miro is very intuitive, easy to share boards with participants of meetings and workshops.
What do you like best about the product?
New features are frequently adding. It has nice and intuitive interface. Pricing is school-friendly. Timer is very usefull, way to manage frames, activity log, pen (especially when i use Miro on iPad). Miroverse is a great idea to build comunnity and share free templates. Locking and hidening frames is very useful. I'm using very often voting feature, is easy to use. Embedding external objects like google documents, forms, youtube, prezi, pictures, web pages and many others and I can run them directy from the miro board. I love "bring everyone to me" when I'm providing workshops.
What do you dislike about the product?
Memory usage, when I have more than one tab open, occure problems with slow working computer. What I would love to have as a feature to prevent meeting participants from seeing the Frames List panel while in presentation or split-screen mode. I propose to increase feature "Pen" and the possibilities of drawing like brush effect, blur. Would be usefull to have possibility to transfer the ownership of boards, because without it, even if I'm the admin I'm not able to remove old boards, because I'm not the owner.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm conducting online workshops, meetings when we had to switch to remote work. I'm saving time when using templates. Thanks to Miro, I have inspiration how to facilitate meetings, warmups and it helps integrate people in whole over the company and world. Miro can replace power point :) I can keep order thanks to project, where I can catalog and group boards. "Bring everyone to me" helps a lot participans to stay focused and not lost on board. I don't have to pay extra when I invite workshop participans just for one time. It is also saving time when I'm preparing documentation after workshop, just simply do export to needed format. I think I can do all my work on Miro, just my imagination is the limit :)
I recommend Miro to everyone who works with teams in any industry, public service, education, as well as for those who prepare business analyzes, architecture, presentations.
