Great collaboration and digital workspace tool
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to organize and share personal research work with colleagues by using ready-made templates or forming my own digital workstation.
What do you dislike about the product?
If I paste an image in Miro space, I need to download it afterward to import it in another document (e.g. google slides). It would be easier if I could copy the item from Miro and pasted it directly anywhere else.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can form my own workstation instantly without size limitations. Plus I can directly share the work with my team and collaborate over a topic directly on the material.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You can transfer much of your research notes on this digital space without limitations, plus you can use many different templates for better set up and organizing your thoughts, notes, and work overall. If you are running a collaborative workshop with people that have not used Miro before, send them the bord invite link earlier so they can familiarize themselves with the tool and have a better engagement.
Practical, easy to use and great for collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Love love love the templates! Love how flexible and autonomous it feels to use. Great for organizing and mapping out thoughts and ideas. Absolutely love how easy it is to crop an imported image and resize. I also love how easy it is to collaborate using Miro. It's very helpful for remote working and team bonding. I think Miro does a phenomenal job at making their product easy to use and very practical, while maintaining user autonomy. I really appreciate the version control features and change log.
What do you dislike about the product?
There really isn't much I dislike, but if I'm extra critical, it would be that there's no option to flip the menu navigation. So when I use Miro on my iPad, being left-handed, the menu nav is on my left side instead of right. It would be nice to have the option for left-handed folks so my experience is more seamless. Also there is a lot going on in the menu navigation and I feel the options could be reduced to reduced overwhelm.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm solving and simplifying complex problems. So being able to dump all my thoughts somewhere and organize them on a Miro board has been a game changer. Having the ability to import images to create mood boards quickly is another great benefit.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is an absolute game changer. They also provide an extensive library of templates for different diagrams and boards to use to organize your information. Highly recommend it.
Best Brainstorming Program for remote teams
What do you like best about the product?
I was introduced to this program as an instructional designer looking for an online collaboration space to do needs assessment with my subject matter experts. Generally we do this in person with sticky notes on the wall and move everything around. My SMEs are not really fans of technology, and so selling them on an online collaboration space wasn't the easiest sell. But, now they're all about using Miro. We use it for: curriculum design (overall), individual program development (mind mapping), program retrospectives (agile). It's a wonderful way for us to work together.
What do you dislike about the product?
So, if I were in house at one company, Miro is perfect.
However, as an independent consultant, Mural has a few features that Miro doesn't like consultant licenses, to help keep the data separated, online timers, and anonymous mode. I think it might be a better option to use Mural for people who ave mutliple clients OR who facilitate a lot of VILT.

Curriculum Design
Brainstorming concepts
Program storyboarding
Agile ceremony notes
I'd previously done this in files like word and then shared to Dropbox or Google docs. Miro is easier to see immediately who is working on what and doesn't have the corruption issues I see with Word/Dropbox.

It helps us to brainstorm on our problems thanks to its large canvas and extensive tools.
What do you like best about the product?
I like the drawing tools, even though they can be improved. It helps us to explain ourselves, like quickly drawing on a piece of paper. However, we would like to see the support for an eraser that can erase a part of a drawing piece, instead of completely removing it on contact.
What do you dislike about the product?
We would like to see a more stable video chat. We want to work on Miro without depending on any other software on our online meetings. However, it almost always forces us to use different virtual meeting software since it frequently disconnects users. Also, it would greatly help if you improved prototyping tools, especially for mobile app development. We tried to use Miro as our primary prototyping tool, but bringing in visual assets is cumbersome. For example, an integration with flaticon.com would be awesome. We also would like to see an option to save text formats for a quick use. Like the three saved pen tips inside pen tool, having an option to save different formatted text input under text tool would be quite helpful. We usually copy/paste the existing texts to use the same format. If we had the option to save the format as a favorite, it would increase our productivity greatly, since we repeatedly use text inside our boards.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is easier to communicate on our work that sometimes requires explaining visually, by writing or drawing. It is a lifesaver through the pandemic since we all work remotely now. We use Miro to discuss on our mobile development. We use it to work on our backend solutions as well as to brainstorm on frontend design.
Miro is changing the way my firm does client engagement
What do you like best about the product?
Miro offers an engaging and interactive way to brainstorm, draw, and discuss ideas in a live virtual environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find it challenging to collaborate with people on multiple projects when I have a Miro license and they don't. The limit of three boards for a free account is bothersom. I would like there to be a step to allow people to swap boards rather than delete and then accept new boards.
There is also a learning curve that people tend to need to overcome before they engage with the software in depth. I have noviced that people tend to be 'shy' at the beginning of meetings, but by the end they are throwing up sticky notes and drawing arrows all over the place. The Miro experience definitely improves the more you use the software.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro allows my firm to engage clients visually, and gives us the ability to record our meetings in real-time. It has been fantastic to watch people enjoy adding information to boards and learning to use the software. It is fun to see people learn the software over the course of a single meeting and then advocate for using it in new ways later on.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I am sorry that I didn't get Miro earlier. It has completely changed the way my team collaborates remotely. Miro allows us to feel more like we are in the same room, around the same sheet of paper, working as a team.
Miro is an great collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
It is helpful in facilitating remote yet collaborative, creative sessions for workshops, brainstorming, process mapping. It's pretty easy to user create visual presentations. The canvas has different kind of templates like: diagrams, mind maps, workflow board, etc. which makes it much easier to create according to the desired visualization for any type of work. Has option for Jira and Confluence integrations.Inviting external collaborators is also as easy as sending an email invitation or sharing a private link. Teams can take down notes and arrange information using the sticky notes feature. There are different colors available for sticky notes for easier visualization and readability. Users can tag sticky notes with custom labels, ensuring that they can be easily located later on. It allows team members to react to sticky notes with emojis and can be used for different purposes such as voting and checking off to-do items. Another great thing I liked is that they conduct webinar sessions to help interested candidates learn about the capabilities and features of Miro. I recently attended one and it was very interactive and insightful. I highly recommend interested folks to attend these.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can't really think of anything as of now. Looking forward for more usable features to be introduced. Integrations with other tools will make it more useful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We mostly use for Kanban boards, retrospectives and user story mapping.

We've run all our client workshops through Miro for last year now!
What do you like best about the product?
The tools are easy to understand in no time at all. Clients can jump into a workshop and participate right away. The board is so large and processes pretty quickly, so we've begun projects in Miro to get rolling and continue to grow that board for months, with every meeting ending up in Miro.
What do you dislike about the product?
The conference tools do work, but they're not easy to find for first-timers, and they don't yet allow breakouts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're bringing together globals teams in workshops to review research, ideate, and review product concepts. It's fantastic that anyone can continue to review the board asynchronously on their time, making our touchpoints more efficient.
The great clarifier
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is an excellent companion to explain schemes in meetings, especially in virtual ones. It is easy to use, and the cost is very convenient. The adoption was immediate.
The templates provided are great, very simple to use and to adapt. The editor is also great.

What do you dislike about the product?
So far, we did not find something that we don´t like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a marketing agency, and we are using it a lot to explain the dynamics behind digital campaigns to our customers. Adding a visual explanation is powerful and helps to increase the understanding of complex schemes. Now our meetings are much more productive using the aid given by Miro.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
My recommendation is to set up a free account. Try the product and then decide what you need. It worths a try.
The best remote workshop tool
What do you like best about the product?
It's remarkably intuitive and they've already thought of all the potential integrations you may need. I've used other remote workshop tools and all of them are clunky or somehow hard to use. This is the best one I've used. The support team is very responsive and the templates are really useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some features behind the paywall which don't seem to make sense to me. I'm not sure why certain features are paywalled and others aren't. But this is a very minor complaint.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Remote collaboration and brainstorming is more or less solved by Miro. It has the ease and adaptability of a physical whiteboard but with the added benefit of being able to connect the whiteboard with digital tools.
Unmatched real-time collaboration board for Workshops, agile Team Meetings and more
What do you like best about the product?
Visual Collaboration with many useful templates and suitable for large groups and anonymous participants, price plans are fair. Free for beginners.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it consumes a lot of cpu power, depending on the pc it is used on.
Some functions are a bit hidden, like changing board owners and it is not so transparent what only board owners are allowed to do versus participants.
