What do you dislike about the product?
I have not found anything I dislike yet (I am still new to Miro, but I really like the platform and the collaborative environment it generates).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro has provided the ability to easily work with team members who are working remotely.
Excellent tool for online collaboration - more than a whiteboard
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is built around a whiteboard app as its primary feature. However it also does some of the things you'd expect from Teams or Slack - such as video conference, chat, etc. The whiteboard is excellent and in my opinion, this feature alone makes the price worthwhile. Whiteboards can be as "fun" (emojis, great colours, stickers, etc) or "business" (clean, professional-looking templates, consistent colours and shapes, flowchart tools, options to export). They are very intuitive to use. There are a huge variety of pre-made templates to help start you out, and users can add their own templates to the library.
One feature that helps a lot is the use of frames. Anything inside of a frame can be exported as a group to a CSV file, which is super useful. So, say you are doing a lessons learned workshop, you can export all the "What went well" stickynotes together, separate from the "What could be improved" stickynotes.
The "Team" plan is only about $20 per month. This comes with two licenses but allows unlimited visitors who can edit the boards they have been invited to. This means that as a project manager I can pay for the license for me and one other facilitator, and invite whoever I'm collaborating with that day to join the board with just a link. This is a game-changer, as you don't have to buy a certain number of licenses and constantly shuffle project members around to free up seats.

What do you dislike about the product?
Where it has room for improvement is that sometimes when you invite someone they get stuck in a dark pattern where they are prompted to sign up for Miro themselves or prompted to log in. Guests do not need to log in and it can be a confusing experience that leads to people needing me to help them troubleshoot having signed up by accident. It's enough of a problem that I don't always use Miro if I'm dealing with an audience that is not confident online. That said, this can be navigated with some careful instructions, and once people are in, the guest experience is very smooth.
When exporting, it's not possible (or at least I have not found how) to export things according to a hierarchical or flowchart order. So you need to go into your excel doc and re-order things if, for instance, you were trying to use it to build an information architecture or org chart. This is a feature I hope they add!

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using MSTeams and their whiteboard is not a fantastic user experience. I wanted to use a more intuitive platform for my workshops and collaborations now that we are online so much. Using Miro most of my team members can just jump in and start using it without too much instruction or orientation. I start each workshop with a couple of tasks (zoom in, zoom out, navigate around the board, place a sticky, resize it, change its colour, move it, leave a comment on it). Once they can do that, they are pretty much set.
Visual and live collaboration - all remote
What do you like best about the product?
Having used Miro for a bunch of tasks, from storyboarding to linking to external documents and images, I like the range of visual options and the ability to collaborate with my colleagues.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lag - especially working in large teams, and the expensive $$ and difficult process of adding people to access the board, technical mishaps and long tutorials.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working with a cross functional international team of game developers + producers to put together the skeleton of a game. We wouldn't be able to collaborate without it!
Easy and compelling
What do you like best about the product?
The results are really nice. Easy to use
What do you dislike about the product?
tricky sharing contents in several boards
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mind maps to explain research ideas
Free play field for business
What do you like best about the product?
It is a great software that allows creating whatever you like. As i mentioned, it is a free play field not only limited to 1 person but open to numerous collaborators.
What do you dislike about the product?
Until now, I haven't experienced any negative side or a part I did not like. There are also updates quite often to improve the tool and bring new functionalities.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps me create an overview of any topic to see full perspective and address the issues quickly. To able to collaborate with collagues and create ideas as a whole team brings more value.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
An added value to your company
Great Workshop and quick mockup app
What do you like best about the product?
I like Miro because it's super easy to use and has many awesome features.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the fact that it logs me out too soon and I have to keep logging in. Just keep me logged in Miro please.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I run workshops and make flow diagrams at the moment
Amazing tool for team work. I recommend a lot!
What do you like best about the product?
Everything. Is very practical and friendly
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing I dislike. But maybe the mobile version should be easier to navigate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Life problems and work
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Explore with joy and patience, and use as much as you need.
Miro is very useful
What do you like best about the product?
Can use as a whiteboard and output items as PDF, image and other files without taking screenshots.
What do you dislike about the product?
The sticky note's color can not be identified by user using color selection tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Almost meetings can be performed online.
Incredible collaboration tool with a very good training and support model
What do you like best about the product?
The free flow ability to go 'north-south and east-west' (a seemingly endless tabletop upon which to work, is especially useful. Without boundaries, I am able to let the thoughts and contributions of a project or meeting or idea flow freely and Miro keeps up.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have found that the limited size of the text box (it's unclear the exact limitations, but suddenly I encounter a warning that tells me that I've reached the limit of the text box size) is limiting. But I work around it by creating another text box.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
So far, my use of Miro is focused on two areas. First, I use it to track minutes and actions (including a connection to Jira) of workshops and projects. Secondly, I use it to quickly create workflows (technical processes, or mindmaps).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly suggest viewing all the training videos and going through the Miro academy.
The perfect platform for "a bit of everything"
What do you like best about the product?
the flexibility to have different types of discussions within the same tool. In my daily job, I need to jump from brainstorming to architecture diagrams to long-term planning several times per day. Miro proved to be such a good tool on all of these and more fronts, that I already open Miro by default the moment I start a video call.
Also, it is very visible how much attention is dedicated to the growth of the platform, and that it is constantly aiming to make it more supportive, connected and intuitive.

What do you dislike about the product?
One of the best things that help me about Miro is how it helps me present my brain regardless of my unstructured way of thinking. This feature is not shared for the management of boards. I find it clunky and obtuse the process to store, search for and look for the different boards I create. I wouldn't know how to describe it other than "is not as intuitive as the tool itself". And the more I use the tool the more this becomes a problem
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visual communication during meetings. Is extremely easy to go from a discussion into something more tangible than an executive summary, in a way that is transparent for a bigger group.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have a hybrid/remote way of working as part of your company, then the adoption of Miro can be an important factor in improving collaboration, communication and transparency, all topics that we know are some of the main challenging in companies of all sizes.
