Top-tier collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is one of my favourite collaboration tools that I use on a daily basis. It's easy to use, powerful and very capable. I use it both on a personal level, on a team level and a company level.
Miro drives creative thinking. It's a tool that has been a key part of some recent projects, whenever I invite users to a board to work on something they always find Miro fascinating and enjoy using it. Miro is the enabling factor in our workflow and is our go to place to generate ideas.

What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside that I can think of is that you only have access to 3 boards under the free plan, but that's not a big issue for me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creative and agile thinking. Miro is our go to place for ideas.
Planning. We use Miro to plan out projects and milestones.
Ideation. Before we'd be doing this through a Teams call, now we can all collaborate at once in one unified place.
Research. Miro's built in templates let us quickly, easily and professionally produce personas, journey and empathy maps, etc.

Overall, I and my team is very satisfied with Miro and have little to complain about.
- Auto format in the text input, font setting does unnecessary formatting while editing the text.
- Nice to have more collection in the object library

Great for group collaboration, idea gathering, whiteboarding
What do you like best about the product?
The live steam sticky note/whiteboard capabilities for use with group brainstorming sessions! We get loads of ideas together with them.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not every function is super intuitive to figure out how to use, so it is helpful if you are planning on diving right in with a brand new group, if one person on the call/in the group knows how to use it already. Then they can explain to others when they get stuck. For instance, we had to create tiny colored dots to put on the stickies, and it wasn't all that easy for people to figure out how to do that!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Group collaboration/brainstorming virtually is a must since we have all been remote during the pandemic.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out if it fits your budget and you have a remote team.
Cool, agile and shareable!!
What do you like best about the product?
The timer is really helpful when I do workshops for my clientes. And Miroverse is great because I can get inspiration from another people. I like when other facilitators share the content of their workshop because I can see blindspot in my workshop strategy. I would like that Miro adds facilitation skills at the Miro university.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like that the lines do not have a function to avoid the conection with other elements. Because some time I just want to add a line that is not a conection is more a line aesthetic and the system do not let me do it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My workshop and management issues. The benefit is that I can easily share my ideas with friends and team parthners.

What do you dislike about the product?
- browser version is lagging: I'm using macOS Big Sur 11.4, had to switch to the desktop app only; tried with Safari & Chrome, both lagging & crashing down
- exporting as pdf sometimes doesn't work: needed to export a huge table, just stopped working
- lack of fonts, especially cyrillic
- lack of editing functions for images: would be amazing to be able to at least rotate & crop uploaded pictures
- limited drawing tools: I'm using iPad + pencil, and it takes time to choose the proper scale; additionally, it's only three active colors and one pen & one highlighter

Way more than just a virtual whiteboard
What do you like best about the product?
It's a super versatile software. At our company we use it for brainstorming sessions, planning meetings, debriefs, kanban boards to track tasks and progress, collaborating on video scripts, sharing early ideas, documenting user research ... pretty much everything. It's also great for onboarding new empolyees, because all information is there and linked.
The team behind Miro seems to be super dedicated - continuously shipping new features in really short cycles.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some of our boards are very big in terms of size and number of elements on them and that makes them slow and not very responsive even when using the dedicted Miro app.
Also: The designer in me wants to be able to add drop shadows and gradients to elements :)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaborating got infinitely more easy and convenient with Miro. Sharing powerpoint or keynote files is still quite the hassle in comparision and doesn't offer as much flexibility as Miro's infinte canvas does.
What I really like is how well it works for doing interviews and even remote rapid prototyping sessions with our users and potential customers.

Great for collaboration!
What do you like best about the product?
I love that it's a powerful way to have real-time collaboration with colleagues in a remote setting! We are a fully remote company, and having Miro allows us to simulate whiteboarding and helps us.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do wish that it was easier to align shapes, lines, etc. They don't consistently show when items are lining up, and if you are using a line, it can be challenging to see if it's straight.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving real-time collaboration issues, particularly when we need to brainstorm, ideate, or be more creative. We also use it to help map out plans, lean canvases, flows, etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would say to go through some of the tutorials at the beginning to get a good sense of how to navigate the product. Then check out the templates! They have been really useful for me in getting started on boards. Also, when using Miro for the first time, be sure to leave time at the beginning of any session to make sure everyone can get in, knows how to use the functions, etc.
The one and only tool for remote workshops and collaboration – wouldn't use anything else anymore
What do you like best about the product?
Best option to brainstorm ideas, collaborate with colleagues, teams, clients. Working with Miro is way better than using classical whiteboards, as they are super flexible, from a small gathering of ideas to complex sketches of context.
We started using Miro during the pandemic, but will stick to it even though we can now go back to the office.
We use it for:
- brainstormings
- retros
- client workshops
- onboardings
- infrastructure documentation
- games and social
We did start off with the competitor Mural, but found Miro to be better in performance, especially with larger groups, to be more flexible, and to have more/better templates.
Besides the whiteboard options (sticky notes on an unlimited board) there are handy features like timer, background music, even video call for collaboration.

What do you dislike about the product?
The sounds available for background music could vary more. It becomes quite repetitive. Integration of Spotify would be superb!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We solve collaboration in a time where we cannot be co-located. It has never been this easy to get together and work digitally. Miro is one of the reasons we will probably always remain a remote-based company.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
No way around it, seriously!
Not a perfect product, but powerful and continuously improved!
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is highly versatile and powerful in terms of features - it is perfect for product management. What really impresses me is, that Miro constantly takes user feedback into consideration and works hard on adding value. I have been using this tool since 2017, when it was still realtimeboard and it has improved A LOT! Also the customer support has always been extremely nice and helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
A lot of usability issues in handling of on board elements (esp. post it's, tags & arrows). Unfortunately Miro does not yet handle very big (a lot of elements) boards very well. It tends to be somewhat slow and laggy at times. Also, if you decide to scale things to different sizes usually it is not very easy to keep the same shape. Tables and graphs are a little too basic in my opinion. The color system should be widened and based on hex colors to personalize properly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
User Research (interviews notes, task modelling, proof of concept testing, affinity mapping etc.), Road Mapping (a lot of great templates!), Prototyping (sufficient libraries for most basic purposes), Workshops (interactive and exclusive organization is really easy like this and a lot of tools and templates make it fun, fun, fun!) - It is remarkable, how for a product manager you can use Miro for so many things! I is one of my favorite tools.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take your time to explore and keep discovering Miro has tons of gems to offer! And really consider to use the desktop version - it runs much faster and is way more stable!
