Effortless Real-Time Collaboration with Versatile Templates
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate how simple it is to collaborate with others in real time. I also enjoy the freedom to create whatever we want, and the templates are extremely helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
The amount of resources this software uses can be a problem, especially on computers that have limited memory and CPU. When running it on less powerful machines, I notice it consumes a significant portion of the system's resources.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In a remote work environment, Miro brings everyone together and helps us collaborate effectively.
Empowers Remote Collaboration for Design Teams
What do you like best about the product?
I like the simplicity of being able to share the link and have everyone looking at the same board at the same thing. I also appreciate the ability to collaborate over a video call. The feature helps us by enabling us to collaborate over something visual, and we can use some of the elements and tools on the application, add notes, and just talk about where we are taking the design. This is the key value that we get from using Miro.
What do you dislike about the product?
Just some of the smaller interactions, the audience has a hard time learning the ways that Miro works as compared to other applications. There is a bit of a different way of navigating so that takes some getting used to. And when creating or drafting tables, or other elements, some of the snapping causes some pain points. You can't group shapes or elements inside of a table cell, and need to first drag them outside. Also, drawing lines, for example, they auto snap. And, it would be nice if you could have a bit more manual control over how lines are drawn.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro for remote collaboration in service design, allowing us to gather input from diverse experts. It simplifies sharing, letting everyone view the same board and collaborate over video calls effectively.
A great UX research and workshopping tool
What do you like best about the product?
Its biggest strength is how collaborative it is. I can easily bring in stakeholders who have no experience with Miro and conduct workshops, set up workshops quickly, and easily synthesize data from research. My favorite feature is copy and pasting data from Excel cells as stickies in Miro, which speeds up clustering/affinity mapping process.
What do you dislike about the product?
The tables are really frustrating to work with. If I need a clean table I use Figma, if I need to work with raw data or lots of data I use Excel, but I use Miro a lot for UX research projects and need organized info to reference. I like that the table feature was added (as opposed to just grids) but it still feels clunky and hard to work with.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I mainly use it for UX Research projects to sort raw data and theme/cluster. It's a reference point for different projects since I can dump text and images, quickly create diagrams to pass onto PMs or UXDs, and work out thoughts before I generate research reports. A secondary use is bringing stakeholders together to come to a consensus or tackle an issue in rapid sessions. Workshopping, especially with Miro templates and timers, facilitates organized discussions that lead to actionable outcomes.
Simplicity and Speed Make Miro a Collaborative Must-Have
What do you like best about the product?
I use Miro for almost any group work, especially in my university architecture studies. I really like having a common, always accessible whiteboard for ideas, mindmaps, and moodboards, and for defining a common design philosophy. What stands out to me is the easy and fast interactivity, like being able to upload link images and text, and then draw on top of that or add comments. The power of Miro is in its simplicity. I can quickly upload a lot of data points, group them, comment, and share. That's what I use the most. Although I know there are many presets and other, more complex tools, for my workflow, the ease of use and speed are what matter the most.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not that it doesn't work well, but I find it a bit annoying that I have to take a screenshot from some website I want to share and then add a link to it. So if the page is really long, it can be difficult to find the exact place I took a screenshot of. I would like to see an implementation of an interactive screenshot where you can 'import' an image of a part of a webpage, but then when you click on it, it gets you to the exact spot of the page. Also, you can only have 3 boards if you use the free version, and I found the concept of 'teams' a bit confusing, like how that works and how to leave a board or the group. Maybe it would be nice to be able to save a board as a file if you leave the Miro board.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro provides a common, always accessible whiteboard for ideas, mindmaps, and moodboards. It helps in defining a common design philosophy.
Streamlined Workflow with Easy Usability
What do you like best about the product?
I like Miro's usability and ecosystem. It resolves the manual need to create a flow because the preset templates set it up for me. I appreciate using blueprints and templates, especially for the ease they provide when doing lots of the same sessions. This ensures sessions are streamlined and follow the same repeatable process. The initial setup of Miro was easy enough and very user-friendly.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the select function - it can be jarring to press this to not move around notes on the page.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro resolves the need to manually create flows with pre-set templates and streamlines sessions with repeatable processes using blueprints, improving usability.
Interactive, Secure, but Occasionally Laggy
What do you like best about the product?
I really value Miro for its interactivity and seamlessness. It's so easy to use in design, which is something I appreciate. Plus, it's aesthetically pleasing, which makes working with it enjoyable. I enjoy having a variety of options for elements to add to a board, and the security features give me confidence that our space is protected. The initial setup was straightforward, and I found the account creation process simple, with no issues since.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think it struggles handling lots of content and lags quite a bit sometimes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro helps us collate various elements like notes, blueprints, and research, linking them effectively. It enables collaboration in a shared space, supporting agile workflows and team effectiveness.
Smooth Real-Time Collaboration with a Simple, Accessible UI
What do you like best about the product?
I like how simple and intuitive it is to use. The UI is very straightforward, sharing boards is super easy (even with people who aren’t registered), and everything works directly in the browser without any installation. Real-time collaboration is also a big plus - it feels like everyone is in the same room working together.
Miro is quick to start with since there’s no setup or installation needed. It has plenty of useful features, integrates well with other tools, and I use it regularly for planning and collaboration.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the boards get slow or glitchy, especially when they become large. It can feel a bit unreliable at times. Customer support is okay, but onboarding for new users could be smoother.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro solves the problem of scattered ideas and unstructured discussions by giving a single space for planning, diagrams, and teamwork. It helps my team collaborate in real time and keeps all our workflows visually organized.
Miro: Simple, Flexible but with Complex Diagrams
What do you like best about the product?
I like the simplicity of use of Miro and the fact that it is immediate. I don't have to seek perfection and I can find a little free space on the worksheet and start working on it.
What do you dislike about the product?
From my point of view, a feature that I have used but did not find valuable is the one where the diagram is generated. I believe it can be very useful, but it tends to overcomplicate the flows, creating graphs that are unreadable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro solves a flexibility problem for me, allowing me to create charts and presentations in a unified way that no other tool offers.
Excellent for Wireframing and Brainstorming
What do you like best about the product?
The instant wireframe templates and the ability to quickly interact with teammates make this tool ideal for fast brainstorming sessions using sticky notes. I mainly rely on it for brainstorming, as it allows me to easily and rapidly organize my references, ideas, user stories, wireframes, and timelines. One of its best features is the ease of sharing with the team, even if they don't have an account, which also simplifies sharing with clients. Since it's a universal tool that almost everyone is familiar with, it has become our company's top choice and frequently used.
What do you dislike about the product?
One issue I have is the lack of control over the design process and the inability to create my own design templates. Since I use this tool primarily for wireframing and brainstorming within the design industry, this limitation is quite noticeable. Additionally, I find it challenging to guide the AI prompts to achieve the specific results I need, especially when requesting it to design a flow. Often, I have to craft the ideal prompt using other AI tools first. It would be much more convenient if there were a 'chat' feature available before generating the final output.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before we started using Miro, our biggest challenges were collaboration and maintaining transparency between teams, as well as in project operations and delivery. Miro has now become our preferred tool, allowing us to integrate with MS teams, keep all project documents, ideas, wireframes, and timelines in one centralized location. Most importantly, it gives every team member access, which has significantly improved our collaboration. I also appreciate how quick and easy it is to insert GIFs and videos and play them directly on the same canvas—this feature is truly brilliant.
Effortless Collaboration and Seamless Integration with Miro
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Miro is how easy it is to use and implement. The interface is intuitive, so teams can get started quickly with almost no learning curve. It also offers a wide range of features, from diagramming to real-time collaboration, which makes it versatile for many types of projects. I appreciate how seamlessly it integrates with other tools in our workflow, reducing friction and keeping everything connected. We use it frequently because it fits into our processes so well, and whenever questions come up, customer support has been responsive and helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike about Miro is that while it’s easy to use overall, some advanced features can feel a bit complex at first and require extra time to learn. Integrations are strong, but occasionally certain apps don’t connect as smoothly as expected. The platform is powerful, but with the number of features available, the workspace can sometimes feel cluttered, especially in large boards. I’ve also noticed that performance can slow down when boards get very large or when many people are collaborating at once. Customer support is helpful, but response times can vary during peak periods.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro helps solve the challenge of collaborating effectively across distributed teams. It gives us a shared space where we can brainstorm, map processes, and plan projects without needing everyone in the same room. This has improved our workflow, reduced meeting time, and made our planning more visual and engaging. It also centralizes information that used to be scattered across documents and tools, which has boosted alignment and made it easier to keep projects moving. Overall, Miro helps us work faster, communicate more clearly, and stay better organized.
