Great tool for collaboration across multiple teams
What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility. This tool is AMAZING to work async with other teams and enhance collaboration to a level I have not yet experienced before. As a PM, it has lots and lots of use cases and is used during all product lifecycle stages. It supports better communication and alignment. And since it covers my needs well, I tend to keep all my work on it, which facilitates my organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I find it hard to find a given function the feature has - the UI is clean and it's just a matter of spending some time trying to find out what you need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Making collaboration and workshop facilitation fun and easy
What do you like best about the product?
Best part of using Miro is it's ease of use. Creating post its to jot down thoughts is quickly done, and it's a small learning curve for new collaborators in my team who have never used such a tool before. The pre-made templates are also a great start when constructing the type of workshop I want to facilitate, and the possibilities really seem endless. It's cool that Miro has also implemented some tools that help gather people together when the canvas is so big and vast that people get lost, i.e. Dictating the First View when people land on the board for the first time, or even being able to bring everyone to one person in the board. I also like the react features that bring a bit more of delight in the experience of collaborating together. The Share feature also is really flexible with options.
What do you dislike about the product?
Elements move unexpectedly, because users don't know if they're dragging an object, or dragging the canvas to shift their view from another part of the canvas page. Seems like the cursor icon needs to be selected first in order to actually move things, but it's not very clear. Could a default "hand" cursor help with this to differentiate these actions? Font choices could be better, because most of them are just display fonts that can't be used for long texts because they're unreadable. The "Only I Can Unlock" elements feature is actually really cool but during a workshop some people were able to move them anyway, so unclear to me how this works.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Facilitation and ideation sessions that I normally have in-person are seamlessly carried through with Miro now that we are working remotely! Having a visual platform really helps with bringing people together in the same page, literally.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Let people move things around for fun, create post-its, just to get a hang of the physicality of the tool before starting your workshop.
Very intuitive, beautiful and fun to use
What do you like best about the product?
The several templates and nice design. I just keep creating things.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it is hard to change control mechanisms, such as zoom in, zoom out or to know if I am using the hand to grab the board and change the view. I am always choosing the wrong control.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using in design thinking workshops, to build figures for papers and also as a teaching tool. Before I didn't have access to a platform where I could easily build boards that also looks very cool - so, I spare time and brain cells.
The app that made working from home feel less as working alone
What do you like best about the product?
Miro enabled our teams to collaborate truly, get more out of these dreaded Teams sessions and have fun. Going into lockdown for so long, we gradually lowered our expectations of what we could accomplish in brainstorms, design sprints, retrospectives, and other sessions, where genuinely working together as a team is vital. That is, until some colleagues of another department started these Miro sessions.
I have never seen a more 'aggressive demand to have a tool enabled in our relatively closed ICT environment. In no time, we were using the existing templates for all kinds of meetings and created our own. With lockdown continuing to this day, Miro has been a live saver for productivity, engagement and fun. And after lockdown, it will remain an essential part of our collaboration toolkit.

What do you dislike about the product?
The one thing nagging the most is the strict way Miro disables functionality for guests and ordinary users. We often encountered a meeting where the admin of a board was not present, and there was no way for the participants to e.g. start a timer or use other functionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro is used all over the place. As mentioned, its primary function is to facilitate meetings that have a high collaboration aspect to them. By creating specific templates we also use it for standardized meetings in our scrum workflow, like the retrospective. As a quick thought gathering 'system', we also often use a plain Miro board. The real-world sticky note approach of gathering all the collected info by taking photos of hundreds of sticky notes is also taken care of.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just start playing with it, use some of the templates and see for yourself if it works. I bet you it does :-)
Perfect tool for team collaborations (especially during remote times)
What do you like best about the product?
The most helpful features of Miro are the "following" people on the board, timer, and having specific links to the created frames. With follow functionality, I don't need to share my screen, which limits the colleagues to stick to my view the whole time. It gives them the opportunity to follow me but also roam around the board if needed. The timer feature is fantastic for timeboxing, where everyone knows exactly how much time is left (additionally, having the background music for the timer made it even more fun!). Lastly, sharing the link of a specific frame helps a lot when I work on big boards; then i can refer my colleagues to particular areas.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not too fond of the sharing functionality; somehow, it's confusing to the whole company which colleagues and group of colleagues have access to which board.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro solves the problem of remote collaborative work on ideation sessions, workshops and retrospectives. I don't know how we worked before Miro!
Essential for remote design collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
It's just straight forward to use. It may not be able to replace design workshops in the room, but it's literally the next best thing!
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not a lot to complain about. Maybe a more robust set of icons to add to quicky access but that's not really essential
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Remote co-design workshops. Already tricky in person, however Miro manages this wonderfully. I'm not getting the hand cramps writing notes either!
My thought fixer upper
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use. A lifesaver for me as I used to scribble my thoughts on paper and notes everyone. There was no way for me to share my ideas in the first place. It gives me clarity in my own thought process, and it also helps others to see when is going on in my head.
What do you dislike about the product?
Does not have a cheaper yearly plan for a long time personal user like me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
remote team communication and management
A flexible collaboration tool to track and communicate ideas
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Miro is intuitive and I'm able to easily communicate my ideas to stakeholders in a fun, interactive and professional way.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really wish that drag-click is to drag select, instead of panning around the canvas. Or if there's a shortcut feature where I could change this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I find that Miro can at times more effectively replace presentation tools like keynote. It feels less rigid, and more of a two way conversation.
Everything I always wanted in an online shared board.
What do you like best about the product?
Real-time collaboration works beautifully
What do you dislike about the product?
Some interface elements can't be disabled
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro as a whiteboard for everything I do. I use it to brainstorm, catalog projects, write as I study, create professional presentations, develop a business model canvas, and a lot more. It's a platform that allows me to put everything in my head in a very organized and visually appealing way, and I use it for my professional and personal projects.
A life-changing app!
What do you like best about the product?
Using Miro is a true pleasure! I love how easily using stickies is and structuring information using the numerous templates. The connectors automatically adapt to the positioning of the stickies and shapes which is very convenient when creating flows. I also love how easily you can visualize files found in Google Drive links pasted in a Miro board, including pasting YouTube videos. Having access to a consultant plan is also extremely helpful! I'm a happy-paying customer and use Miro daily for everything! As a project/product manager it really has become my go-to tool daily!
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't say there is anything I dislike. Perhaps the only thing that would be cool is the ability to creating prototypes on wireframes
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I mainly use Miro for planning, diagraming, and product management for remote teams, so this tool really makes collaborating in real-time easy and fun!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't hesitate on using Miro, just make sure to train staff on how to use it, they'll learn quickly, it's a very intuitive tool!
