Best Group Study Online Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Studying with friends online and seeing their cursor point to something they don't understand. There is no other free tool that comes to mind that has the amount of whiteboard real-estate and allows for saving a bounded area for a pdf as notes.
What do you dislike about the product?
The newest update to the pen UI makes it hard for a pen tablet user to utilize their macro buttons. I used to be able to just press the macro button to use the pen when I was done using the eraser, now I have to press the Select tool, V, first and then I can press P to get back to pen.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're mostly just solving homework and sample exam problems for engineering exams. It's better with miro as it allows anyone to clear up a misunderstanding that words most of the time cannot describe.
Great way to organize work!
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is very easy to use and it is easy to upload projects from other places and import them into Miro so that I can organize them how I want.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is sometimes difficult to find where I put my projects on the board because I have so much work in there and there is so much space.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using it as an ongoing portfolio of my Graphic Design work and also as a way to show my process from sketvh to final product.

Ability to add users on the fly
What do you dislike about the product?
Little difficult to scale content consistently given the infinite nature of Miro boards
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were able to plan a relatively complex project in a completely new technical area with our teams all distributed. The ability to show people what we are talking about has removed barriers for us and kept our team productive.
We are also able to quickly onboard partners in our work by referencing existing Miro content.

It helps me for remote teamwork in a very easy and esthetic way.
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can do creative teamwork, diagrams, brainstorming, etc; All in a really easy to understand platform, with a lot of templates and the possibility to create your own arrangement.
What do you dislike about the product?
The quality of download of the free products like png and pdf and the limit of boards per account.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Most of the times I use it for brainstorming and to create beautiful boards. I find that it’s really easy to modify and the way you can work with other people at the same time makes this process really dynamic.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Check everything it has to offer like the templates, forms, presentation mode, etc. And
I consider it is better for teamwork but if you want, you can use it on your own and have amazing results.

Working with visual virtual elements enhance your performance
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to construct freely in a board, not necessarily with a fixed structure. For example, when constructing an experience maps for different journeys you can do everything in one board and it helps that you can resize. This resize feature helps when adding extra materials of the same project. We have been able to construct everything smoothly these days with the help of all these features in Miro. When I am looking into the opportunities to improve our work
What do you dislike about the product?
There is this feature that is missing: being able to align elements with automatic references. It would help to be able to structure a well rounded square shape maps as in Power Point that measures the space between elements. It is frustrating to be wasting time to checking if the things are aligned, because it looks not polished work if I leave things unaligned.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working with peers virtually constructing different customer experience journeys and have visual elements virtually. During these days of the COVID19 we are working 100% virtually and we have been using this platform a lot. Performing team spaces activities, mapping of experiences and having the opportunity to automatically share different board to different people is good.
Other things we have been doing are workshops with different stakeholders across the company to gather feedbacks for important projects and that has been a highlight.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use all the extra features like video call in the board, timing for different activities such a retroprespective if you are implementing scrum within your team.
Great tool for brainstorming and visualizing workflows, logic models, and organizational structure
What do you like best about the product?
I like how flexible Miro is. You can use it for so many things!
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish I could snap shapes to place on a grid or with each other. It would also be nice to resize multiple objects more easily.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've collected ideas through brainstorming sticky note activities, designed a logic model, and visualized our organizational structure.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is important to lead new users through several activities step by step. Less tech-savvy folks are likely to need extra support and practice.
The best collaborative whiteboard tool
What do you like best about the product?
Our team works with user experience design, and since march when social distancing started we've been using Miro to keep working collaboratively. It's the best tool to remotely run co-creation workshops and then consolidate all the findings.
We also use Miro to plan, execute, and wrap up user experience research and usability tests.
On another project we needed to analyze the current flow of a user interface, making recommendations, and then designing a new and ideal flow to test with users. We used Miro to upload all the screens of the current flow, then put our comments using post-its and highlighting areas with the pen tool.
We run a design thinking course to enable computation students to apply it to their daily work. We offer this course for 5 years and usually do it in our physical space, but this year Miro enable us to run all the workshops and mentoring sessions online. It has been almost 4 months, the students are finishing their projects after 12 sessions using Miro and Zoom to realize and document them.
All these possibilities are what we most liked by using Miro, so even when we return to presential we will still using, as in some projects we always work with distributed teams.

What do you dislike about the product?
Dislike is a strong word, but we'll be really happy to use other fonts, especially Montserrat, and being able to configure line spacing. Another thing is to export content as images, it would be great selecting objects before clicking to export, this way we guess it will be easier to control the size and proportion of the images, once sometimes we need to import them to Google Slides.
When we started using Miro and creating our team, some people who don't have familiarity with graphic software needed time to learn how to use and organize their work, especially by using teams on the left sidebar.
Another question was validating the budget with the financial area, once we are in Brazil and our currency is really devalued comparing to the US dollar. In our sector, we are 17 people and we have just 14 people as Miro users because of this. We really hope can have all the team at Miro briefly.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When working physically we have a big space with a lot of whiteboards, post-its, pens. The space was projected to be modular and we can build diverse environments just by moving desks, chairs, and boards from a side to another. Miro enables us to do the same online connecting with people from anywhere and creating all kinds of environments we need!
Besides our teamwork problems, we are solving complex problems guided by the design thinking approach. We facilitate sessions to define strategic referential to new business units at our innovation ecosystem (Tecnopuc), planned a new methodology to orient the creation of a business model to startups that are part of our Startup Garage program. We've developed a service design project with a client and their stakeholders at the same meeting, generating and detailing alternatives to a new model of executing professional outsourcing.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would like to say that Miro really helped our team regarding alignment, transparency, collaboration. We just maintained our work as democratic as when working together in a physical space.
The free plan also allowed our team to test diverse ways to work and validate that the tool would support our needs. During the time we're using the free plan we also could teach and incentive our colleagues that don't work on graphic software full time.
The tool enabled us to do funny retrospectives and play some games to support our relaxing moments that seemed impossible to do remotely.
The possibility of creating our own templates to run our projects is amazing, but when we don't have so much time to do it, Miroverse really helps by organizing and sharing what other people are doing and how they are working at Miro.

Userfriendly Tool to improve Efficiency in Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
Intuitive operating within the tool. It is a big digital whiteboard with all additional tools you need in order to conduct jour fixes for example.
What do you dislike about the product?
Free version is limited to a number of different "maps". One the other hand, they have to make money somehow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are doing our jour fixes with Miro.
Furthermore, I am using it for my own organization within my projects. It helps to keep a overview and not to forget anything.

Miro is critical during mandatory WFH
What do you like best about the product?
We started using Miro as a tool in place of the normal in-office things we had like Hoopla boards, and white boards to track daily activity and keep engagement up. It's very easy for people to go into Miro and see what their teammates are working on and help as needed. While it's not a 1:1 replacement for being physically in the office Miro has made the transition to WFH a lot easier and more productive. Additionally, Miro can help my team spark a sense of creativity sometimes when we're trying to organize our thoughts and information, but we don't know what format to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the UI could be cleaner. Would appreciate a way to filter projects and see only the projects that I'm included in, not every single one in my team (which for us is the whole company). Would also like the default settings to keep boards more private until they are shared with a wider audience. As the product improves, would like to see options for creating more templates, having default templates per project, etc. This would help with using the tool on a regular basis with our teams. Would like an option also to include more dynamic data, maybe integration with SFDC.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Daily collaboration and communication are much easier with Miro. We've realized increased productivity as well as a greater sense of team inclusion in daily tasks. The team feels like we all align on common goals with them on the board and we can see our metrics right behind those.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try the free boards with your team and use it to run a few meetings. You won't be disappointed. It's an incredibly powerful tool to get away from powerpoint slides.
Very useful and collaborative tool to cocreate
What do you like best about the product?
lots of possibilities to create different murals
What do you dislike about the product?
video integration i can´t use in a easy way a youtube video
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
cocreation sesions
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Very useful tool to collaborate in teams and very easy to use to work with
