Miro helps me in so many ways
What do you like best about the product?
All the great features and the friendly user interface
What do you dislike about the product?
The changes in the new ways of voting has made it a bit less easy to set up voting for less experienced users of Miro.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to get an overview of all the stuff I'm doing and planning. I can facilitate workshops in Miro that enable a large group of people to collaborate and find solutions to challenges. Miro and all the great features makes it fun and easy to be effective and creative in workshops. Miro helps me win as an agile coach and facilitator.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be a part of the Miro community and you'll learn nifty Miro tricks and meet a bunch of great people.
A great tool for sharing knowledge and synthesizing research information for projects!
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is very intuitive, and the overall design of the workspace takes the process of creating a dashboard for a college project and personal artistic research to a more professional and harmonic approach. I love the templates for creating different mindmaps and whiteboards.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the features that compose the paid plans are not that accessible to educational institutions in other countries. Also (as a personal note), I would like to see a dark mode option; this makes working on a project at night a lot easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting information such as images, text, video, and other multimedia makes presentations and teamwork more accessible to our class. This tool has enriched all our creative processes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Getting a hold of Miro's team features makes teamwork an organized and resourceful experience.
Invision was the stepping stone for many in the tech world to collab in design stage
What do you like best about the product?
The first proper design tool that got comprehensive tools for freehand and vector-based prototyping. It was way ahead and disruptive that it quickly captured people like us who wear fed up with Adobe being non-designers.
Seamless integration with Sketch was an added advantage.
Something that I liked the most outside the tool is that they were pioneers in remote work culture within their company and the industry. It helped them to solve the collab issue from within.

What do you dislike about the product?
Somewhere in 2017, as Figma's prominence grew, Invision gave up and stopped innovating. It merely remained a left hand (plugin or add on) of Sketch and nothing more. This made me jump to Figma.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration, Design system boilerplate, plugins to make life easy for us non-designers, sketch integration made the additional tasks easier.
Wireframing boilerplate and a single source of truth design dictionary for team.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
At this stage, I would suggest you better opt for Figma over InVision. Figma at this stage is light years ahead in every aspect.
University Miro insights
What do you like best about the product?
I really love how easy and intuitive the software is (+ that is available for web, app, and browsers). I use most of the templates, and their variety is outstanding.
What do you dislike about the product?
I sometimes dislike the presets and default navigation tools, they come to be a bit confusing for first-time users, and sometimes settings aren´t that clear, but overall it is great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Simultaneous teamwork is one of the problems that miro solves; I get a massive benefit from how easy it is to connect with people and how every feature falls in place when working along.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
First-time users must be patient and open to exploring all tolls and find the ones that fit their needs the most.
Great for organizing your workflow
What do you like best about the product?
The special feature of Miro is that it allows you to work in multiple ways, organizing the entire workflow with your team: from the creation of diagrams for information architecture, to whiteboards, to the assignment of tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
At first the interface may not be immediate, precisely because it has many functions. For the free versions it is only possible to download low resolution files.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro as a UI / Ux designer, especially to organize my work and to create information architectures and customer journey maps. It greatly favors agile work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is an excellent platform for managing and organizing your work and that of your team, thanks to mind maps, whiteboards and a series of collaborative tools that simplify the flow. One of the best of its kind.
Great collaboration tool, some limitations
What do you like best about the product?
I like the flexibility and ease to create workflows and other diagrams, and the fact that the board is as large as you need it, with the ability to zoom in and out. Also, I like the variety of tools it provides to make the visuals more enticing and easier to the eye.
What do you dislike about the product?
When trying to share with larger teams, it seems that we continuously face the fact that if they need to collaborate and edit, they can't unless we add them to the team. However, then they get access to other boards; maybe these are global settings, since we are in a corporate environment with multiple teams, I wonder if these settings could be made more granular so each team can select whether it is a single board or entire team visibility/sharing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have mapped processes and discovered pain points and opportunities but also mapped our Enterprise Architecture of applications and the interaction among them. I have used this also to develop procedures and documentation for settings on our applications.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
To try it first, make sure you understand the number of people that will require a license to create to use this to understand well the licensing needs. Training, even though the tool is very intuitive is important.
Miro is a very good resource for me in the classroom. I use it when teaching virtually/in person.
What do you like best about the product?
I like best that I am able to pull up my classroom instructions and have a white board in the same window. On my setup, it would be impossible to use a whiteboard while having other resources up at the same time.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish I could import graph paper for a background and would love to be able to erase part of a line instead of the entire part that I drew without picking up my pen.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I teach math and have my classroom set up does not have an actual whiteboard. Truth is, sometimes you actually need a whiteboard for kids to do math problems interactively on. Kids can also use their Chromebooks as whiteboards while doing boardwork practice. It's less messy and requires zero supplies!!
Made working at home great again
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to organise workshops with team members on distance and get so much value/input from everyone on the call
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much, really, just a minor one which is that some elements won't allow them to be locked so people can't move them accidentally
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Workshops with clients, project planning sessions and wireframing digital experiences
The essence of Miro
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is an easily navigable, infinite, digital whiteboard that makes collaboration inviting. Have an idea, concept, or even a simple plan? Use Miro to mindmap it out. Want to figure out a workflow for your business? Create the diagrams and flow charts in Miro frames to quickly scroll through them, share them or even print them. Want to collaborate with friends or colleagues? Share your Miro team or board with them with any level of involvement or access. Need a space for all of your documents, presentations, images, or other files? Load them to your Miro board, so everything is in one convenient area.
Miro makes work easy and enjoyable.
Miro makes work easy and enjoyable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Listing "cons" is a bit of a challenge, as everything has worked great for me so far. Scrolling through a document could be faster. Some of the objects, like tables, tend to load a bit large, so you will most likely have to resize.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I own a consulting business where I help others optimize their workflows, processes, and data management. I use Miro extensively to mindmap, diagram, create flow charts, and so much more. It has become the essential tool of my business, given how much I use and rely on it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Dive in. Enjoy the learning process (which is quick) and have fun making things. It's the most enjoyable tool I've used so far.
Must-have tool for product development teams
What do you like best about the product?
Endless canvas for any kind of work: Product Discovery sessions, ideation workshops, concept reviews with engineering ... In the past this would've been many files across different tools (problem statements in GDocs, flowchart in draw.io, mockups in Balsamiq). And not all of them are so collaborative live Miro. In a remote setting, it's just an indespensable tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you're a small team or startup strapped for resources, Miro can become expensive quickly once you want to go beyond the initial 4-5 people working on a project (including colleagues for review sessions, for example). At least that's how I remember it. They may even have fixed this experience so you don't need to create paid accounts for these kinds of users anymore.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's so many use cases: Alignment sessions with stakeholders in the product development process, building large flow charts for new product updates and how they'll work, running retros, design studio workshops. The facilitation is just so intuitive, despite the many cases covered. It's really a great and flexible tool, kind of like Excel, which you can use for tracking finances, project management, contacts list etc.
