Quick & low-fi wireframing tool to prompt UX discussion that still lacks some IX polish
What do you like best about the product?
low fidelity set the right tone for the type of feedback I'm looking for. Extreme responsivity and auto-save mean the tool rarely slows me down (although really large and complex wireframe collections still tend to load / paginate slowly).
What do you dislike about the product?
Color and line stroke selection remain buggy and hard to control, constantly reverting to a prior selection.
Still no way to easily export as a vectorized PDF after the latest update is a big disappointment.
Most of the newly added features haven't really been incorporated into my workflow (yet), but I see the benefit of most of them. (I recently just noticed that the Frame tool comes with frame-specific URLs, which is pretty handy for sharing large wireframes with teammates.)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's a quick and share-able medium to get UX wireframes in front of my dev team for discussion. (I find it's vital not to use hi-fi design tools too early in a project, both for practical work-speed reasons and bc it tends to solicit the wrong tier of feedback.)
Use of Miro as a collaborative whiteboard for online lessons
What do you like best about the product?
The fact that you can edit the board with other team members in real-time allows for easy and efficient collaborations. The many different shapes, stickers and fonts you can use to edit your board make it aesthetically pleasing. It's easy to display your creative ideas on the board due to all the different functionalities you can use. It is easy to create very useful tables on the board. The board tools are very easy to use and Miro shows you the latest updates which can allow you to improve your skills as a board creator.
What do you dislike about the product?
Miro could add a tool for importing audio files from the computer onto the boards. This is something I failed to do in the past. Not a deal-breaker, but it would be useful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to work with my team members in real-time is very useful. Also, being able to share your boards with other members so they can comment or edit the work you've created is great.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro enables creative minds and it's great for collaborations. I strongly recommend it for teams or projects that need to communicate their ideas online.
Gets the job done
What do you like best about the product?
I like that there are a decent number of tools — more than just stickies — but still not so many to feel overwhelming while sketching. I like that the toolbar is small relative to FigJam where the tool panel takes up a lot of room.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, the biggest downside for me of Freehand is that it falls increasingly outside of my workflow. More and more, designers around me are using Figma which makes FigJam more convenient. I don't have any specific critiques of the Freehand product itself — I think it's good at what it does.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've used it for sharing quick sketches while discussing colors for maps of climate change that we create for ProbableFutures.org. It is handy to quickly sketch and show ideas. We've used it in presentations with non-technical stakeholders as well and it typically works well in that context.
MIRO IS A GAME. CHANGER
What do you like best about the product?
The many ways you can manage work and communicate by showing everything in one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it's hard to figure out the correct sizing for frames so things are easily viewed at a readable size. I find myself zooming in and out quite a bit and this can become distracting'
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating Journey Maps and Service Blueprints as well as using MIRO to host Design Sprints. It is quick and helps folks understand the whole picture easily!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need to get your team aligned and onboard, have some fun with an easy-to-use tool? GET MIRO
Well thought-through app for whiteboard and workshop
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy and intuitive to get started with. There are many templates to start off from and while working together as ateam the interacrion is smooth
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be great to have auto translation and a good tasks list/avtion tracker
Also if a Miro board is big, it must be more easy to tag and find things in the board

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team brainstorming, mindmaps and online collaboration simultaneously. The startup tome is short, so you get involvement rapidly also with newcomers
Miro - Versatile, complete whiteboard
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is a flexible tool, ready to help plan your day or develop your next big project idea. It has templates all built-in with some ideas already prefilled to give you some idea of how and where to start. It can link to external sites where you can draw inspiration or guidance, you can link documents and flick from page to page, mind mapping as you go. For the planning stage of the project and working through an old process, this is very useful. I find this very handy for exam prep for those of you working through exams. It's an excellent one-stop-shop for putting all your links, ideas and documentation in one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the sizing can get a little tricky at times, just take care when you are starting a board as it can be zoomed in or out and the text size that you have started as could be in the 40s plus instead of the usual 10-14 points. Minor issue to be fair but it can cause a bit of frustration when you start to build your board into a bigger board and have to remember to size it to match.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project work, study work, designing new customer project journeys, using it for time management via Kanban boards, retros etc - there is pretty much a template for anything you could need.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do the tutorial and explore the templates
A good alternative to Miro
What do you like best about the product?
I love doing really loose wireframing in Freehand; the option to keep the shapes "sloppy" helps me focus on putting elements on the page and steers me away from getting too caught up in small details.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think Freehand is great for really quick sketches and visual notetaking, but as a UX researcher I do like having a bit more granular control over things like color and typography. A lot of times I like to use whiteboard software to create presentation-grade user/customer journey maps, so the visual qualities matter a lot.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem Freehand solves is the need to take notses, make diagrams, and build low-fidelity wireframes without using comprehensive-but-complex programs like Illustrator or Figma. The benefit is that Freehand is web-based, fast, and screen-share friendly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely one of the top whiteboarding apps out there.
Freehand is liberating.
What do you like best about the product?
Freehand makes collaboration very easy with my team because we can view each others comments in real time. This creates a conversation for ease of developmentation.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish more team members would work with Freehand. We could better discuss projects across the team. I think people are afraid to put down their comments.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are correctly solving problems that the business side can see the actual path a user will experience. I have noticed a marked decrease in time spent on a project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would say the best use is when you have many hands looking at a project and want to share ideas in real time.
The whiteboard to top all white boards!
What do you like best about the product?
I love that FreeHand is ever-expanding. You are not limited to the size of a piece of paper. It can all link together and live as a working document.
What do you dislike about the product?
Switching between selecting and dragging was a little clunky the first time using it. However, I was able to get the hang of it super quick.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were in the early stages of brainstorming a project. We needed to get lots of ideas down and start to visualize it as a remote team. InVision helped us do that. Took whiteboarding to a whole new level.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you love to collaborate with your team or your clients, this is the platform for you.
The best white board experience I've come across!
What do you like best about the product?
I often need a whiteboard where I can express my thoughts with complete freedom. I use Notion and Loom to put together formal proposals. I'm not aware of a competitor. I've just stuck with InVision because of the infinite white board.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to create tables/grids easily and undo mistakes easier. There are instances where I would like to make text bigger within a box and it can be difficult to do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm able to mind map things without any constraints. Connect different ideas together and just think more in line with how my mind works. My ability to demonstrate and show ideas to the larger team is improved.
