More than I expected from a whiteboard tool
What do you like best about the product?
The simple interface is an easy way to dump my brain into a visual. Great templates and guides to make everything easy. Great integrations.
What do you dislike about the product?
not much. I've been using it for 6 months with results that have exceeded my expectations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly cloud architecture, UI/UX designs and Product planning.
Planning ahead saves lots of rework and expense later.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
What are you waiting for? Visual communication made easy. Multiuser real-time editing.
The best collaboration tool I've ever used.
What do you like best about the product?
Miro flexibility allows me to utilize it to fulfill a wide range of UX design jobs, from research to prototyping. I really like the fact that you can share your boards or designs with individuals who do not have a Miro account and they can still engage with your boards and provide comments. This is especially beneficial when working with stakeholders who do not want to register an account for things they will never use outside of meetings with me. The interconnections are also really beneficial. The ability to import Google Drive files and Asana tasks during our team's brainstorming sessions has enabled us to collect ideas that had previously been distributed across platforms and interact with them in more innovative ways.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you need a tool to produce high-fidelity mockups or prototypes, it's not as comprehensive as Figma or Adobe XD. Miro, on the other hand, has shown to be more beneficial than other tools in collaborating with stakeholders and coming at a judgment on the general path a design should follow. I also wish Miro could design shapes using the Pen Tool and then fill them with the Paint Bucket Tool. There have been several occasions when I'd like to be able to produce basic artwork without having to use Illustrator, export it, and then submit it to Miro.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've utilized Miro to interact and connect in ways different than the traditional video conferences. I'm resolving to receive stakeholder input as quickly as possible, and I enjoy how simple it is to build lo-fi wireframes. It makes it simpler to develop a large number of ideas and communicate them to stakeholders in a form that they can comprehend and see. When I use it as a planning tool, it also helps me to illustrate how different pieces or concepts relate. Previously, I created flowcharts using Diagram.IO or a standalone diagramming application. Miro is fantastic because it allows me to generate a wireframe and then, on the same dashboard, a flowchart that depicts what happens on the backend when a user interacts with the website.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The quickest approach to get through the first learning curve is to get right in and experiment with the software. Many aspects are extremely straightforward, especially if you are familiar with popular keyboard shortcuts, but it may take some time to become used to them. Take use of all of the templates available in Miroverse. I would recommend starting with the free version since it has a lot of versatility in how you may use it and interacts with a lot of other tools and platforms.
Useful tool with some billing/customer support difficulties.
What do you like best about the product?
The program is userfriendly and highly adaptable. The templates are powerful. The collaboration potential is fantastic. Visually very attractive.
What do you dislike about the product?
No customer support. Accidental change in my service led to doubling the subscription amount. This charge went directly to the business credit card, causing us a lot of internal problems. It would have been nice to have better communication from Miro, as well as the possibility of calling to rectify the problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Miro for a wide-range of educational applications, including meeting facilitation, project design, and evaluation.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is an excellent tool, which I really enjoy using. I accidentally made a change to my account, which triggered a billing change. My the price of my subscription doubled, which was a surprise to me and my business manager, and we had no way of changing that after it happened. I have been unable to find an email or phone number to contact to help me with this billing problem, which is frustrating and unforgivably bad customer service.
I definitely suggest this app to anybody.
What do you like best about the product?
Miro sets the standard for remote work communication technologies. It is simple to use, feature-rich, and intuitive. It's a whiteboard collaboration tool at its most basic level, and it does it exceptionally well. With its virtual post-it notes, text editing, visual effects, and multi-user collaboration capabilities, this program is a standout among its peers. With some basic navigational guidance, most users can get up and running in Miro within a few minutes at most. Even yet, there are many more complex capabilities that make it a great tool for more experienced users. Miro's built-in templates are also a big plus for me. They're excellent places to get started when working with remote teams.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are so many features in Miro that it might be difficult to keep up. There are a number of features that aren't as simple to use as the basic navigation. In addition, Miro largely depends on icons rather than language to describe the functionality. Many of them elicit a great deal of clicking as individuals try to figure them out for themselves. In order to develop super users, it would be ideal if Miro included more sophisticated, guided walkthroughs within the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Moder work settings, such as those that are partially or entirely remote, can't function without the use of Miro. Highly recommended for everyone who appreciates the importance of working in teams, especially if visual impact is critical for cooperation. Miro is one of a kind!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I get what you mean now. Make use of it as a project management tool for monitoring meetings and workshops, or even as a standalone application.
Easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
The most helpful thing about InVision is that in Freehand you can import various assets from different applications like Figma and Sketch.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that you can not import prototypes directly from Figma to the prototyping space. The only place they can be imported is in Freehand.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using the tool to solve problems around brainstorming and problem-solving remotely where the teams are not co-located.
Best tool for quick feedback and collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Quick sharing design mockups without the need to create prototypes, You can zoom out to see the bird's eye view of the user flow. I welcomed the feature of comments and alignments.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see an option to distribute selected screens, some better way to scale the typed text, like a slider or dropdown with point sizes.
There are 2 things that really bother me as a user:
1. screens are blurry most of the time when uploaded via Craft plugin from Sketch, so you can't zoom in on the details (not. always but most of the time) we tried many ways - one hack we found is to export the screens to file and upload them manually - but it's a headache
2. Really annoying one - once you deleted a screen from Freehand you cannot upload it again. Why??

Quick mockup for stakeholders' approval. Time is valuable. Saved me a lot of trouble, and I can be more productive.
Great collaboration tool in the time of remote working
What do you like best about the product?
Decent UX allowing users to pick up on all the functions in a short time.
Love the sticky notes and the new present mode to allow everyone to follow your pov!
Toolbar is easy to use as well :)

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing major really.
Small suggestions:
1. Looks like every guest vistor has to take up one account space in order to edit. Hope we can do temporary guest accounts, let them edit just once and their access will be expired.
2. Onboarding could be better (the problem: we, designers, need at least teach first time users how to navigate in the space using keyboard + mouse. First time users usually wont noticed "keyboard shortcuts" in the menu or they just dont have time to do so) :
Either, for first time visitor, show helper guides (using overlay to focus on areas to teach ppl how to use. *this may be already implemented that i totally missed)
or with very short and sweet onboarding videos, 1-2min max, that we can share to participants beforehand.

Well thats simple, in today's world, this is way better & easier than jamming 15 ppl in a small physical space with only 3 ppl got their mask on (you dont have to order lunch as well lol )
It's a multipurpose virtual collab space that can be used for a lot of occations. (design review, affiliate mapping, crazy 8 sessions etc)

Miro is the best online whiteboarding software there is!
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to share and store information for a team as big as mine. It allows the normal information to be stored all in one space instead of across multiple mediums.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a clearer way to link different notes, the feature that they have already is a little clunky but gets the job done. Another thing I wish I could change in the collaboration setting, where you see other cursors, I want to be able to set smaller teams on one board.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With a team as big as mine, app development can be very unorganized, miro allows everyone in the space to easily see schedules and deadlines, as well as plan their paths on task while putting everyone on the same page all in one software.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get it! It will be a life saver if you have large teams.
We use freehand for discovery exercises
What do you like best about the product?
its flexibility and ease of use. Like the different templates available.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be good to tie the freehand board to an existing space. It would be nice to include pages from an existing prototype in Freehand.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've been using it more and more for ideation and project discovery. We have used Miro on some occasions but like Invision simplicity.
Ease of collaboration. I like the "share with link" option for users who don't need Invision access and its password.

Using less and less
What do you like best about the product?
+ Freehand can be created directly from Sketch
+ Features for adding stickies as votes
+ Adding comments
+ Creating frames and exporting as an image
+ Ability to copy and paste directly into Freehand

What do you dislike about the product?
- Comments and notes made in Freehand are not viewable in Sketch
- No version history, so saving and syncing multiple versions of an artboard from Sketch just overrides previous version, or you have to create a new Freehand
- Can't copy/paste from Freehand into Sketch...have to export
- Can't rename frames if synced from Sketch
- Can't show interactions or animations

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its an good way to show mood boards or WIP from Sketch. Collaborators or stakeholders can add comments without moving through multiple pages.
