Miro for collaboration outputs
What do you like best about the product?
I use Miro as a collaboration tool with clients. It's so important to be able to capture input from people and have a low barrier to entry with a whiteboard tool. I like that it's relatively easy for people to jump in to a board and start using it. Voting, comments, timers, and the project management tools (kan ban cards etc) are all major parts of what I use on a daily basis.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think that Figma has a leg up on miro in many ways. As a designer, I wish that I had more control over the fonts and shapes. Because I do not have this control, the outputs from miro are considerably lower quality than outputs from figma. The security features are what keep me using miro over figma. In addition, the way the type changes sizes in a post it is annoying. When exporting, it's hard to control the readability when the content of post its vary.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro creates a common space for people of all different roles and tech experience to contribute their thoughts and ideas. As a designer, I have a lot of ability to design the frameworks that shape the input needed and it's easy for folks to jump in and offer their thoughts without a lot of onboarding.
The indispensable place for online collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
This is the easiest platform you'll ever find if you're looking for an online creative canvas onwhich to develop, design and test ideas. It's intuitive; it's fun; and it is constantly evolving.
The AI apps that are available make work analysis and creation so much faster. The planning apps mean work can quickly be mapped out and shared with clients. The voting capability makes it a perfect place for testing ideas.

What do you dislike about the product?
There's little to dislike about the platform. Other than a few short-sighted organisations placing it beyond the firewall, it's brilliant. And event for client that do that, when I share Miro boards via Zoom and Teams, they are blown away.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaborative working is key to everything we do. And working in an agile fashion, carving work packages up into simple steps that can be completed with the client. All this can be done so well on Miro.

What do you like best about the product?
The ease of participating in a team, the ability to connect with many people at once and in real time
What do you dislike about the product?
The price and limitations of the free option
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Carry out activities together and make it useful to connect with the members of the company at the same time
Miro has drastically increased team efficiency and engagement
What do you like best about the product?
Miro has enabled me to have virtual meetings with actively participating team members. With the recent integration in MS Teams, it makes is very easy to include attendants in the Miro Board even if they don't have an account. This has made it drastically easier to implement Miro in your Team meetings, even just as a whiteboard.
With Miro everyone is assigning tasks and providing input themselves, which empowers the team members and helps with ownershiop of the agreed tasks.
With the numerous templates, there is always something fit for your purpose. Within 5 minutes you're ready to conduct a retrospective for example.
The recent addition of AI tools has been a complete game changer. Where previously it would take longer to categorize retrospective input than to collect it, the categorization is now completed within seconds (and it's very accurate too).
The option to embed other documents such as Word or Powerpoint files, makes Miro very useful as a single source of truth.
Because of this, we use Miro very frequently. The team can check at a glance the project status and any open actions they might have.
Recently, we've had a Miro representative present the useful functionalities of Miro in Project Management. I think this is a great initiative since Miro has so many use cases it's hard to be aware of all if it's not shown by an expert.

What do you dislike about the product?
Within our organization, we value standardized documentation within projects a lot. I'm missing handy exports of certain things in Miro.
e.g. when I create a project plan in MS Project or Excel, I can upload that file in our database for future reference. This file can also be edited in the future. With Miro I'm missing such functionality where I can save a project plan, process map, mind map, etc. as a "Miro" file to be edited later. It would be amazing to save it as a file that's viewable in multiple programs (like a .JPG), but to still be able to edit it in Miro.
There is still quite a learning curve for new users to start working with Miro. This is due to the enourmous possibilities that Miro offers, but I think that the pictograms are sometimes unclear. That said, Miro has improved a lot since I started using it 4 years ago.

Good software for quick-and-easy visual collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
In our company, we use Miro on almost a daily basis for everything that's "visual" collaboration, e.g. creating mock-ups for applications, pipelines, etc. It is definitely very quick and easy to start with Miro. Just add a new board, and start collaborating. There's a bunch of drawing options to choose from, whether from scratch or using templates. You can easily create a data pipeline graph, a data architecture review, a roadmap, etc. Sharing is easy, either by inviting specific people or sharing a link. It's also very easy to export a graph from Miro in a picture or even SVG. There are many integrations available with different 3rd parties, though to be honest I never really used them so I can't judge.
What do you dislike about the product?
Miro can be sometimes long to load, and I find it annoying that everytime you want to just use it for quickly drawing something, you have to create a new board, give it a name, etc.
I feel there should be another way to just do draft things very easily, but that's my only opinion. Sometimes it feels Miro is too powerful for very simple things, and a bit overkill.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As I said in my review, we're mostly using Miro for quick-and-visual collaboration, whether it comes to brainstorming around new ideas, doing some mock-ups for what our applications can look like, or even doing fun retros, etc.
My experience with Miro is successful, I love all the flexibility and fluidity of the tool.
What do you like best about the product?
I use Miro for creating diagrams, preparing offsite agendas, presenting content, organising sticky notes into action items from a picture and creating org charts. I love the flexibility, the expenssion and the eas of share with others. My favorite feature is the photos to sticky, it have been useful for me a lot.
What do you dislike about the product?
In some cases on Mac the app freeze and it's hard to move around witout changing by accident the tiles and the content. It would be awesome if there's an easy way to block everything when moving accross the board.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Presenting complex diagrams and collaborating with others to update them is a huge benefit for me in my work and day to day tasks.
Great for the creative, still difficult for clients
What do you like best about the product?
It's an amazing tool to structure your project work, where you - with practice - can add a lot of fun and well thought out exercises to reach your goals. I love the miroverse where there's a lot of knowledge to learn from. It's a nice way of collaborating - definitely the best compared to other similar tools like Mural.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's sometimes annoying getting others started in Miro, as I'm always an external consultant.
Though I find it very intuitive, you still notice a big gap when I work with older clients (50+) which costs a lot of time.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working together when (physically) apart - also across timezones.
Not having to digitize physical workshops anymore (large drag)
Having 1 visual overview space of all research and work done for a project.

Very useful for organisation
What do you like best about the product?
It's perfect for laying out all the tasks I need to do and prioritising them
What do you dislike about the product?
The mobile app is sometimes a little clunky and doesn't allow me to edit text in tables or post it notes
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro is helping our team work together more fluidly by allowing us all to share which tasks we are all working on. It also helps us lay out all our ideas and plans for the future which we can then discuss and decide how to move forward
Great tool to facilitate remote workshops
What do you like best about the product?
As an Agile coach, Miro is a great tool to facilitate remote workshops with a high level of interaction. Really visual, easy to use, with a high number of increasing new features. I love having an infinite board to prepare the workshop dynamics, with lots of visual elements. Make my work much easier. Wonderful tool!
What do you dislike about the product?
With big and heavy Miro boargs, sometimes Miro gets blocked and delays quite a bit to sync again so that you're able to keep on working.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Unlimited space to compose my workshops. Lots of supporting features.
Miro is the default, for now
What do you like best about the product?
Everyone's used to it. Has a bunch of features that are useful. Seems they're still evolving/growing/adding more, but yet to explore them!
What do you dislike about the product?
Not integrated with other tools. Not quite as 'delightful' or engaging as Figjam.
