An amazing platform to work, think, and play!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the collaboration features available in Miro. The ability to create boards and give access to others is what sets Miro apart from others. No other platform I have used combines an intuitive virtual whiteboard/mindmapping interface with live collaboration features as seamlessly as Miro. Work asynchronously and simultaneously with ease.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost would probably be the main issue with Miro. While they do have a free tier it can be limiting. I hope with scale, prices can come down. Third-party plugins also can give you some trouble sometimes. While this is not Miro's fault entirely, I think better developer documentation and support would help eliminate these rare incoinviences.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As someone who works entirely virtually, Miro solves many of the collaboration constraints of not having a physical office space and not being able to interact with coworkers in person. With Miro, my organization is able to brainstorm, project-manage, share ideas, and celebrate in a virtual space the same as if we were sharing a board room together.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Evaluate your need and users to determine what tier you would likely need. Use the free tier as much as possible to help get users comfortable with the features and interface. Check out the many templates to help you get started. You should also see what plugins are available and which correspond with other software you currently use and how you can integrate the two. Don't for get to use the features that make it fun like the emojis.
Miro - a great tool for giving form to ideas
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is a great tool to EASILY give form to ideas. I was a little skeptical before I jumped in but a believer after using it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the navigation and organization withing Miro can be a little disorienting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro allows me to easily design and present ideas, flow, and logic to groups of people.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking for an easy to use solution to diagram and bring ideas to form, use Miro.
As close to being in a room with a whiteboard as you can get remotely
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is easy to use, share and collaborate. With remote work being a new normal, this is as close to being locked in a room with a whiteboard as you can get! Other competitors, such as Figma and Mural, are good, but Miro, to me, is more user-friendly and more robust when it comes to what you can do within the platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
I love using this with my software development teams, and the Jira integration is helpful, but it isn't as robust as I would like (syncing comments, etc.). Also, having some more pre-built shapes would help create more robust designs within Miro and minimize the need to use other tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Remote collaboration is challenging, especially with each person wanting to engage differently. With Miro, we can collaborate before a call, while we are on a call, or without a call entirely. You can have remote brainstorming sessions and workshops with ease. Miro being a virtual whiteboard also means that team members can go off to the side, work something out, and then bring it the group.
The amount of collaboration that can be done with Miro is amazing

I would like to have a way to create quick tables to put some simple data on it, like a little spreadsheet
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro helps me run better meetings and use known tools to develop new things for our business

Innovation at Miro keeps the product relevant, and leaves the users amazed
What do you like best about the product?
How it is adaptive to how users might want to use it on tablets with styluses; I was pretty amazed. It is now handy when I am working remotely, and we are trying to collaborate and have some quick brainstorming sessions. Having the ability to capture "writings" opens up the collaborative-ness.
What do you dislike about the product?
The share functionality. It needs to be more streamlined, or rather, more intuitive to use. Having two different options to capture a particular "link" has confused various users around me, and the wrong link sometimes gets distributed around. Which I think can be avoided by streamlining.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Process and flow visualisations. The abundance of shapes, colours, arrow types, and also the ability to write text on arrows have made it easier to create flows and processes on Miro as comprehensively as possible. Just passing a board with this flow has made communication across teams so much easier and saved time and effort in verbally explaining them in calls.
The comments feature has helped in collaboration and gathering feedback, and consolidating them on the board directly (rather than having them on various messaging platforms).
Also the follow feature - following another person who is online. So much easier to be on the same page (literally :D)

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you like to explain better, collaborate better by "writing" than typing; miro + a tablet with a stylus has been a boon for me in terms of productivity and visualizing my thoughts.
Collaboration Creator!
What do you like best about the product?
Ample ways to collaborate with teammates in clever, unique ways. I love that you can see all the users in a board and what they're each contributing to it. It makes the collaboration process so seamless! My favorite part of it is the use of sticky notes and other creative items to organize different categories of thoughts when brainstorming a new strategy or project, or different processes and requirements for a project.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's great for what we use it for, which is mainly brainstorming. I'd love to see some kind of way to turn that brainstorming into project plans, maybe through an integration. Sometimes it can feel a bit overwhelming if too many people are in the board at once or even at different times, so I wish it was a bit easier to track who is who and what each person is doing, as well as what the changes they are making are. Similar to Google docs or Google sheets and the opportunity to track changes there so we can see who did what and when. I do like, however, that you can show or hide user cursors so at least that part doesn't seem too busy if too many people are using a single board at one time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're solving the problem of cross-functional collaboration and creative brainstorming. Whenever we have a large new project or are planning for a new quarter, Miro is our favorite tool to get some "hands-on" work in! We like to organize group brainstorm sessions and use the sticky note feature to add our ideas under various categories. Doing this in a group setting makes it easy to virtually collaborate and give people time to think about their ideas before having to share them. We've also used Miro to categorize responses to surveys and organize them into similar clusters, which helps us then create content around those clusters that we otherwise wouldn't have been able to see without it. For example, we recently used it beyond our quarterly planning needs to help identify the most talked about responses in an open-question survey so that we could analyze the qualitative data in a more visual way, rather than trying to organize it all in a Google sheet. This makes Mireo not only a wonderful tool for teams using it to brainstorm and collaborate cross-functionally, but also a great tool for content creators who are looking to organize their thoughts in a more cohesive way.
It's also just great for team bonding events and creative ways to see different things about other team members that you wouldn't know otherwise. We recently used it as a team bonding activity during our quarterly "hang out" to identify fun facts about our fellow colleagues. Thus, Miro has many use cases and would be appreciated by product, marketing, engineering, and other teams across an organization.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend others to use Miro because it's useful across organizations and teams for both planning and collaboration purposes. The app is great for many use cases: specifically, you can use it for quarterly planning sessions to get everyone aligned on your team's plans for the quarter. You can also use it for content organization if you work in a content role that requires ideation or organization of various format and content thoughts. Finally, you can use it for team bonding events in clever and creative ways.
An awesome collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
It's very easy and intuitive to use. The Info button behind a sticky is neat too so I know who wrote what ;)
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm still not certain what makes me zoom out of a board accidentally - at first I thought it was an accidental double click, but a single click does it too.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Benefit: Good and easy collaboration on story mapping.
Strategy & Planning Visualized
What do you like best about the product?
I love how modular Miro is. No matter what template you choose from you can customize every nuanced piece of each project.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much to dislike. I've used plenty of other mapping and visualization tools and Miro is definitely at the TOP.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Workflow, Planning, Onboarding, Sprint, Customer Journey, Sales to Success Handoff. Annual and QBR, and more!
Awesome collaboration capabilities and the perfect diagraming tool
What do you like best about the product?
The easy UX that is under the hood of the product. The integrations that it has and collaboration options like the timers and group chat
What do you dislike about the product?
The integration with Jira should be more extensive. Feedback between the two products and better visualization from Jira
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Business and technical diagraming. Presentation of products and DEMOs. Project workflow presentations
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Perfect fit for a connected and collaborative whiteboard. Better in the paid versions.
We're teaching this platform in our leadership courses as the digital means for collaboration.
What do you like best about the product?
Concurrent interactivity among users. The share feature is VERY helpful. I like the flexible, agile platform for capturing and curating relevant content.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve necessary to master the platform is the biggest hurdle. Perhaps the board tools can be progressively unlocked or enabled as users complete skill-group training modules. The Badge program will be a GREAT pathway for our students. We will not invest in all the learning procedures as in previous classes. We will now direct them to complete the first badge and submit the receipt and image. Can you capture frames in presentation mode as a video? Capturing a presentation directly to videl might be a helpful integration as well. Also, I think users need to adjust the gridline resolution. That way, spacing frames based on gridlines is more apparent and user-friendly. Perhaps there can be a "snap to" feature that auto-sizes frames to gridlines.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We teach how to capture ideation for event planning, strategic planning, and process documentation. These are the primary applications we teach.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is the best, most agile, and most flexible collaboration platform in the industry.
