My experience with Miro
What do you like best about the product?
Highly collaborative and flexible platform. Easy to access and use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Maybe sometimes it lags and needs to refresh browser.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using it as a tool for running DT projects and sprints, especially to increase participation and capture maximum inputs on ideas from all. It also serves to aid agile ways of working, if facilitated well.
Miro - My One-Stop-Shop for All Things Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Miro is the ability to collaborate over virtually anything! As a Strategic Business Analyst and Project Manager, I often have to brainstorm, conceptualize and facilitate discussions around strategies, plans and concepts within the business. Miro is my go-to whenever I have to start something new because if I am stuck and do not know where to begin, there are tons of templates and suggestions which I can build off. The interface and elements are intuitive which makes it so much easier to edit and adapt any existing templates to suit my business scenario.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have been using Miro for a number of months now and I guess sometimes, the choices at my disposal make for a stumbling block with getting started. However, this is something that time, practice and experience will eventually solve. In a recent webinar, I was introduced to the Miro Academy which is a trove of information that is helping me get acquainted with the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am predominantly solving conceptualization and facilitation problems with Miro. The visual element of this collaboration tool makes it very easy to work with others on brand new concepts or ideas, especially considering the Work From Home situation we have come to adapt to. Being able to visually depict abstract concepts, at times simultaneously collaborating with my colleagues, helps speed up the process and bring everyone onto the same page.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would advise those considering Miro to go ahead and sign-up for a basic (free) user account and get to experience the app/platform before signing up for a full account. Because of the vast amount of things you can do on the platform, it would be good to know your way around before you sign up.
Simple but powerful.
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to learn. Have all tools for build stuffs withs others and working on boards.
What do you dislike about the product?
Maybe would be more powerful options for working with images, figures, and texts. Include animations for slides would be awesome.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Make a Brainstorming. Build collaborative stuff. Presentations. It's fast to get a good design.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's not Figma or Photoshop.
Great for online collabs. Brings back all the feels of working with physical post-its :)
What do you like best about the product?
Makes visualisation a breeze for online collaborations, especially for collabs where alot of Design Thinking, User Journey Mapping etc processes are used.
The sticky note function and ease of clustering or moving it - i think it mimics real-life usage of post-its for ideation sessions and feedback sessions. It was fast, seamless and an all-round pleasure to use for clustering and further analysis of the responses. Stickies could also be easily resized.
The lock function - i think some may underrate this but for me, this was one of the most helpful functions available when collaborating online, especially with people who are new to the platform. Being able to lock items on the board (frames/diagrams/stickies/pictures etc) to prevent accidental shifting by collaborators was a huge plus and a total time saver. The time that i would have had to spend on moving the items back could be channelled towards other things in the collaboration.
The templates - they were very helpful and there is quite a variety to choose from as well.
Creating frames and being able to present these frames as slides directly from miro was very helpful in having to double the work of creating a google slide deck for it.
The "bring to me button" - this was super useful in bringing any group member who may be lost in the navigation of the boards over to the specific frame you are working on. Saves time from having to "hunt down" the collaborators and guiding them to go where you want them to. Used it often during my collabs when working with new users.

What do you dislike about the product?
Screenshots - Somehow when taking screenshots and copying it to another software like ppt/google slides, significant resolution is lost.
Switching between the pan mode vs normal cursor and edit modes. Am accessing Miro via a web browser on a Windows laptop. The shortcut that the Mac users have to switch between these 2 modes does not seem to work for me, which makes it tougher as i have to remember to click on the side icon menu to make sure i am in the correct mode while navigating the miro board.
Spacing between frames - thought it would be good if Miro could advise on the ideal spacing between frames such that neighbouring frames do not show up in presentation mode.
Lack of simulataneous editing within the same text box. Sometimes users who edit text within the same text box forgets to unclick the text box when they are done. As such, i will not be able to edit that text box until they unclick it, which is frustrating
Lack of ability to edit background of the pictures/icons i paste in.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As part of my studies - a slew of projects relating to user journey mapping, experience design, design thinking, empathy map with users etc
I think miro is great for capturing everything in one side, via a flat layout. Depending on how you would structure the information needed, miro can serve as a great tool for presenting your ideas and research.
Miro is also a nice tool to use for workshop/class engagement, where all participants can come onto the same board and work on their projects/discussions in different frames. It is chaotic at times but it is great to see all the work come together in various boards.
Miro shines when doing analysis and clustering of results. The ease of moving and grouping the sticky notes is my fav feature of this platform. Saves us from wasting paper too compared to real life postit notes clustering. Plus everything is captured digitally so its just a matter of exporting the work to share about it on other platforms.

Try it. There may be some initial confusion as you get started, but it is worth it. Unless there is a better tool, i foresee myself using miro for quite my work/studies/personal projects.
Miro our Visual Collaboration hero
What do you like best about the product?
The most astonishing thing about Miro is that the team can work more seamlessly on creative things from project planning to execution through visualization. I also find its inbuilt communication feature quite helpful as we also regularly conduct meetings and real-time discussions using its real-time chatting and video conferencing feature.
What do you dislike about the product?
Because the new user onboarding part is quite limited compared to the breadth of features, new users may find themselves in an uncomfortable position while attempting to use the possibilities of this great productivity tool fully.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We consider Miro to be an essential member of our team, regardless of whether or not we are working from a remote location, since it is so helpful in fostering creative team communication. We are now able to interact more realistically and creatively, thanks to the Miro.
Great tool for collaboration and creative workshopping
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is very quick to pick up - there are helpful onboarding tutorials but the tool is pretty intuitive. Using the tutorials and documentation would help to get the best out of it. The interface is largely drag and drop, which replicates the experience of using post-it notes on a board very nicely.
What do you dislike about the product?
Formatting gets a bit fiddly sometimes if you are seeking to theme by colours. It's not always clear who has commented and where.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Miro in lieu of face-to-face creative workshops, which have not been possible during the pandemic. It is very satisfying to have an interface that eeryone can play with to give people a sense of participation.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider exactly what kind of format you want your online collaborations to take.
the most amazing online whiteboard
What do you like best about the product?
i love the easily way to create a mind map, a flow chart and a brainwriting
What do you dislike about the product?
i dont like so much the app in my android phone
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
in our bussines we use the brainwritting to create new ideas for the web page
Recommendations to others considering the product:
i recomend to use miro for your braingstorming and whiteboards, its the best
Amazing online collaboration tool!
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to create dashboards and track KPIs
What do you dislike about the product?
Importing data from spreadsheets as cells
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a Product Manager, I use MIRO to track my business health and KPIs and share the boards with my peers and leadership teams to enable them to look at the same metrics. The board helps them provide feedback, ask questions, and suggestions as notes, so we can discuss the topics during a standup meeting, and help resolve the roadblocks. This avoids sharing multiple versions of the documents across the teams.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great tool that can make collaborations easier, especially during these tough pandemic times. Highly recommend this tool.
