Makes Design Thinking accessible to all, in a fast, reliable and cooperative environment.
What do you like best about the product?
Templates. Helps me a lot when starting a project. Also the number of templates being added every day. Awesome. Really helps me.
Presenting with it. The frame sidebar is a life-saver when having to present to larger groups. Wonder if I could rearrange the frames in an easier drag-n-drop way.
Having people automatically following my mouse. Sometimes, it's better to have everyone seeing what I see without sharing my screen at zoom.

What do you dislike about the product?
When using a tool, sometimes it does not go automatically to the Select Tool (V) right after using.
Makes me go click there. Feels not polished.
Pasting images, sometimes is weird, because images are pasted super small. I actually lost track of where they were pasted and pasted it again.
I know this will feel contradictory, but there are too many updates on the software shared with us when opening Miro. Feels like you're sharing too small upgrades.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
By using Miro, I've been able to spread the 'Design Thinking' word in a company that is not prepared for that.
It helps me sell the idea to stakeholders that cannot abstract enough in certain projects.
Then having them in a brainstorming session, in Miro, makes my life way easier.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think Miro is a great tool for people that already do brainstorms with an audience.
And now, in a pandemic state, we had to move to full remote. Miro is a lifesaver.
If you're considering Miro, I'd recommend taking some Brainstorm leading sessions before asking people to jump in Miro. Because it takes some time to set everything up (as does in a physical environment).
But, at the same time, I use it to create wireframes for the UX's I'm designing. It's the only platform I use these days. Does all that I need.

A very efficient, easy and seamlessly designed white boarding tool to create the best products.
What do you like best about the product?
Instant launch, detailed templates, easy collaboration and integration. Mobile app makes it easier to add an idea even in the middle of the night. Real time collaboration help work efficiently and increases workflow productivity.
What do you dislike about the product?
No downsides ideally. Just that if we had a mutiple account switching feature, it would be really helpful to manage and work more between personal and work miro accounts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating quick brainstorm boards for teams to view, edit and update instantly. One can easily share progress on idea building methods, wireframes, concepts etc. Adding media helps in comprehensively working on one single platform.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a one stop app, website, web app and anything simple which you can consider to help you start your ideas, build through the process, share in a jiffy and colaboratively grow!
Excellent for team collaborations
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to invite collaborators to a project board and work through ideas and come up with designs
What do you dislike about the product?
As an architectural professional it would be great to have a few additional tools to allow for area takeoffs and scaling, I also find the embedded ability to create data charts clunky in that they can not be adjusted for text size or colors or more complex data
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The inability to meet with clients in person- this has been an effective way to keep interactive meetings during Covid. Also, it has allowed me to continue hosting summer internships virtually by giving me somewhere to work with my students
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A great collaboration tool for both internal design work sessions and client presentations/workshops
A must for remote collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
It's a very intuitive tool — it took me very little time to learn how to use it (especially because it includes shortcuts and actions similar to those a designer performs when using the Adobe suite). The onboarding of new members is easy. And you can customize it all the way to match your (or your clients') brand guidelines.
What do you dislike about the product?
Very rarely, when we use it in research stages to share discoveries and there is a lot of visual content, video content, I have the feeling it moves a little slow. Still, it is the best tool on the market if you ask me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We deliver remote client workshops and we use it as a space to collaborate within our teams. We used it prior to 2020 too, but it's been indispensable during the pandemic. Nowadays we also use it for presentations, because it has fewer glitches than a Keynote/PPT shared on Zoom.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would choose Miro.
Everyone can become a designer with Miro.
What do you like best about the product?
The great usability to add, arrange e edit artifacts that were built in meetings and workshops. Another good thing is the possibility to create freely a big variety of objects on the big board. Maybe, the best is the simplicity.
What do you dislike about the product?
The lack of integration with Figma and the high cost for a big team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am a strategic designer and I have been using Miro as an important tool to support explanations e decision-making in several projects. Important to say that Miro brings a perfect way to become abstract concepts in something that can be visualized.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I have not found the option to lock a board with a password. I really recommend the password option or access to be used in confidential boards.
Favorite tool in my collaboration toolbox
What do you like best about the product?
Miro has enabled simultaneous interactions of all participants in training workshops with clients. That is priceless for their engagement and for me to evaluate what concepts they can apply fully.
Miro helps our internal team plan projects and streamline processes. I love being able to upload parts of spreadsheets to become editable sticky notes!

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I create connecting lines accidently, but it is easy to get rid of them with a click.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wanted:
• To keep all notes digital and in one place for the entire team
• Editable sticky notes
• To translate paper sticky notes into editable ones in a flash
• Go from spreadsheet columns/rows into editable sticky notes (no kidding)
• Synchronous or asynchronous collaboration with your team
• Breakout areas for small group or independent work
• To be able to share reference documents right on the board

Perfect for my clients
What do you like best about the product?
I faciliate team development workshops and strategic planning sessions with my clients. I chose Miro over the other similar products like Mural and Stormboard for 2 reasons 1) Flexibility - Miro infinate board creates a fantastic open whitespace for easy access. However, the template libarary gives great examples of possible uses and of course quick start up for some exercises. The ability to create and save your own templates makes setting up repeat activities. Drag and drop of slides from your existing PowerPoint presentations makes easy work of upgrading existing files. The ability to simplify the menu for my workshop participants keeps them from getting confused by too many options.
2. Pricing - Miro's flexibility extends to something very important for the independent consultant. I can have my participants attend as guests and I don't get killed with small fees that add up to big recurring charges. Mural had possibilities for consultants if requested but I never received a response to my requests.

What do you dislike about the product?
Customer Support. Miro is relatively straight forward and has very good helps. ..but when you need a quick answer on a tech question that's not in the helps it can take days to get an answer. The pandemic swamped services like these but of the four I tested there were differences with Stormboard having the best customer support for me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In the past few months I have delivered numerous multi session High Performance Team Training workshops; Employee focus groups; Problem solving and planning sessions. Using Miro allows for great engagement during group activities but also allows for a 24/7 workspace for participants and team members to "drop in" and review or read notes. I can leave notes with instructions and links easily created to take individuals by the hand and guide them through reviews of topics previously discussed and give them specific ations to complete to prepare for upcoming sessions.
The greatest benefit has been delivering remote group work activities that in many situations enhance or improve on the previous "in person" experience. Recenly, In my first "in person" physical presence activity we still used Miro instead of the post its and wall charts used before. I see this new hybrid of virtual and physical being a great leap for workshop engagement going forward

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Jump in - study the available templates to get ideas of how to make use of Miro. If you have a graphic artist available you can do some pretty fantastic and professional looking results - however you don't need this to look good with Miro.
How a white-board tool can improve organizations!
What do you like best about the product?
The visualization and collaboration features are incredible. Our team started immediately to get used to the tool due to its high user-friendliness. We saw already in the first months how this tool improved team organization and planning, just by using it on a daily basis.
Our team is part creative-driven, and part analytics-driven, and this platform is suitable for both of them, despite the strong difference in approach. Actually, in this specific tool, the differences in approach tend to enrich the final output itself.

What do you dislike about the product?
The video call feature is not so performing, so my team abandoned it after some weeks due to the high confidence in the usage of Google Meet
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration is now visible to everyone, any time. That is something we weren't used to doing. Planning skills of the team leaders improved significantly, having them a much clearer picture of on-going and future activities.
Moreover, a much faster meeting management has been reached. In fact, this tool enabled the possibility for us to get documents, images, analyses and ideas in a faster way than before, having everything in the same (and accessible for everyone) place.

What do you dislike about the product?
While miro is an excellent remote virtual platform, it is difficult to find a con in a product you like.
However at times it may take new users some time to get onboarded.

Superb collaboration tool that speeds up projects
What do you like best about the product?
It is versatile and visual. You can get to work with a team or on your own quickly. Notes turn into diagrams, turn into presentations, turn into project plans. It has become how me and my teams get things done. It's become how I think my way through a project. Shared Docs and Project Planners are good, but nothing beats the freedom of being able to draw and paste and link ideas together in a shared space. I love how intuitive it is and features like being able to paste spreadsheet cell contents in as post-its are brilliant. And they keep adding more features week by week.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the odd glitch can be disproportionately annoying. Like if someone highlights an object or text they don't know that you can't see it either. But it is small stuff set against the benefits of the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's like having multiple whiteboards that spring into life when you need to get on with a project. So you haven't worked on something for a week or two, you go back to your post-it session or mindmaps and bingo! you're back in the game where you left off.
Collaboration is its superpower though. During lockdowns we have been able to build notes and whole plans as we go while chatting on Zoom or Slack. It cuts out lots of jumping between apps. Often I work with someone to agree the framework of how we will solve a challenge, and then we invite everyone else to come in and leave their thoughts in comments and stickies. It's actually more efficient than in person meetings for some kinds of working.
