Amazing Platform to Engage Your Remote Team -- Highly Recommend!
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy Miro is to get used to use. It is very simple and easy to explain to newcomers on the platform. I also like how you can upload various items (photos, GIFs, etc.) from other platforms. Miro has allowed our organization to find amazing creative solutions for our clients. When you first look at some of the larger Miro boards they seem scary but once you watch the how-to videos, dive in, and learn Miro you realize that it is a very simple platform to use. I also love that the board can be edited simultaneously by different users and it is not affected. The useability and ease of access has been super beneficial to our team!
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that Miro had more options to align with a company's branding (allowing hex# for all colors and allowing the user to upload fonts). If various items were more customizable in this way it would be awesome! I also wish that there was a feature for people to sign on as a guest without having a Miro account so that their name is visible to others.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Connecting remote teams, keeping teams interactive, creative solutions to corporate problems, connecting teams around the world, getting teams excited bout team building activities. We were able to connect so many people and we are so grateful for this platform.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Watch the intro videos to have a deep understanding of the controls and learn the quick keys ;) Play around and have fun with it! Enjoy using Miro, download some boards from the Miroverse first to see how things are layered and how the designers designed them -- this helped me gain a deeper understanding of the program.
Miro is fun to use, easy to set up and makes collaboration work a bit more exciting!
What do you like best about the product?
I like the simplicity of the designs and templates. It is so simple and intuitive that my colleagues and students often do not need any instruction to start a task. I also like that the board is expandable - it gives a nice feeling of freedom when I am working on a bigger project. The design is very intuitive and similar enough to other applications we are used to, making it easier for us to just dive in and start collaborating without initial instructions and tutorials. The templates also provide ideas and inspirations for other ways of utilising Miro at work. One example would be using a kanban board system for my work related tasks and creating a to-do list. I had not heard of the kanban board system brfore but the template gave me the hint!
What do you dislike about the product?
I feel that there can be more templates to choose from, or maybe a few colour themes per template. I often use postit notes but I sometimes run out of colours to use for my team members. I would also like to group post it notes onto cards when I use the Kanban board. That would be something I do in real life whiteboard to choose which tasks to work on. The idea of the card is wonderful though - I have been using the card to sort out ideas and keep track of updates and notes to myself for any todo's.
I would also like to be able to use freehand functions a little better. Especially during a meeting I often find myself wanting to quickly draw a diagram or chart or timeline with my hands to explain what I am trying to show. I used to use a whilteboard during in-person meetings but if Miro can be my digital whiteboard I would appreciate it very much.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using the miro boards for lots of seminar tasks with university students and business clients. It works especially well with brainstorming practices. Most of the time the students are able to see the visual outcome of their work and it is satisfying to see! It can be slightly tricky for older users but I suppose that is the case with any technology. I have also started using the kanban board for my work related projects - it gives me a sense of calm to know that my todo list is always available online.
Collaboration work online had always been a slight inconvenience before we found Miro. There was always one person sharing a page and taking notes while others just had to watch the note taker and give verbal instructions. The ease of not having to ask everyone to install the application or log on is benefitial too. Just sharing a link is so much quicker and easier. As a result more of my colleagues and clients are using Miro as guests and trying it out firsthand before joining as a member themselves.
I am also using Miro's mindmap template instead of creating Powerpoint slides for inhouse meetings. I create a mindmap of topics I want to talk about then share the link to the board during my presentation. It is much quicker to create than Powerpoint slides, it keeps everyone on the same page, and it is almost like sharing my thought process and mind to the attendees. The mindmap allows me to show the attendees if I am talking about a main topic or a small addition to the idea without having to explain.

powerful tool for collaboration, but not overwhelmingly detailed
What do you like best about the product?
easily collaborating in a remote environment across multiple departments with simple UI that anyone can get a hold of.
What do you dislike about the product?
it's definitely limited in how much you can create and visualize items, but that's more of a pro than a con, as it limits the level of detail you can get into. it's occasionally frustrating as a designer, but it's a sign that you're overcomplicating the ideas at this stage of the design process.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
remote collaboration, basic idea generation, impromptu whiteboarding sessions
Miro brings collaboration and structure to meetings in the world of remote work
What do you like best about the product?
Miro isn't just a continuous whiteboard. Miro facilitates the planning and execution of valuable meetings with tools like templates, timers, and voting. For example, we use the timer in meetings to give everyone the time and space to think and jot down ideas in response to a prompt.
What do you dislike about the product?
Miro sometimes does take quite a toll on my computer--there have been times on Miro when my fan is running heavily, and it can be distracting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When collaborating in a document virtually, there can be a barrier to making edits or adding input because it all feels very formal and final. Miro breaks down that barrier and captures input from all around the room with a whiteboard that allows for messy brainstorming. It takes a very similar approach to what we used to do in person, brainstorming around a whiteboard or table with post-its.
So far I love using the program
What do you like best about the product?
It is very intuitive and pleasant to look at. It is easy to make charts on the spot during a meeting. It is very easy to track all the changes that the different team members made on the charts as well.
I used Miro both as a board owner where I created flows and charts, but There were times I was a participant in group training sessions where Miro was used as a platform for collaboration. It had some handy features like timer, background music (if needed), embedding videos. It is great to see that our training sessions use tools like this and gradually getting away from the dry powerpoint presentations.
I really like that different templates can be dropped to the board at any time, as I do not need to invent the wheel if I want some cool additions to my boards.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are some features which would be a nice addition. The link below refers to one I would like to get implemented.

As someone who grew up using MS office and tools related to that, I sometimes struggle to find what I am looking for. That is less of a problem with the interface itself, it is still very intuitive, I just need to get used to it.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it for brainstorming sessions as well as planning out processes. I am not financially benefitting from Miro. Collaboration between different team members on virtual calls is a great option.
To be honest, I enjoy using other programs such as Powerpoint and Visio, but I find them clanky in group exercises. The ability to have multiple users build something together is great, and the built-in templates are saving me a lot of time.
I am still finding new problems that I could tackle using the program. I did start with simple charts, but now using them for:
- Process planning
- Mapping system architecture
- Redesigning the internal ticketing system
- Creating user journey maps
- Building out Business requirement Documentations
All in all, I think that the tool looks really slick and easy for the eye. Even when the board gets humongous, there are easy ways to navigate across the board. I am not sure if there is a feature to bring all the users at a given point in time to one slide/point on the board if you are doing a presentation and they get sidetracked and wander off.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try watching the instructional videos. It is a great help to understand the capabilities of the tool. It is not overwhelming but still very informative.
An essential tool for remote work
What do you like best about the product?
Miro makes it easy for my team to work remotely. We organize all of our design sprints with this tool. And whenever we need a whiteboard to jot down a diagram during a video conference, we launch Miro.
What do you dislike about the product?
Miro has a lot of features and therefore there is a learning phase. But the documentation is well done and the app is very nice, so it's okay.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro helps us during the discovery phase of product management. We use it to run our design sprints.
Perfect for both team collaboration and personal use!
What do you like best about the product?
I love how Miro is intuitive to learn and, incorporates ready-to-use templates, and can be linked with G-Suite applications. I prefer Miro to other solutions because of the innovative interface design.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only inconvenient I perceive is when using it with my free personal account and being limited to 3 active boards only. Though I understand this is how the business model is set up, it would be great to have access to 5 boards!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problems I solve with Miro is intuitive mind-mapping and visual brainstorming both when used for personal use for processes structuring, as well as when collaborating in team and having access to all the data in one place, in a great visual way!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ensure to have a first-team space to go through together through all the features of Miro, and explain where to find resources related to platform usage in order to make most of the platform!
Very good collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
A complete team can be working in the same boards/diagrams/template at the same time.
The user interface is very friendly and very flexible. The "post-its" or diagrams in which we are working can be resized to fit best what is needed.

What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the fact that I can't copy stuff from other boards and that only some of the shapes are available in the "free" version. I would also like to see easier ways to grab printscreens to share with other people.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro to visualize flows in my daily work, to explain the organization of our teams visually, and to run the Scrum ceremonies. The templates available in Miro are useful.
Great whiteboard for preparing my language classes
What do you like best about the product?
Miro (online whiteboard) helps me to prepare my Brazilian Portuguese classes with fun first of all to myself.
Most of the people do not know that to teach is most of the time a lonely process. You are not always surrounded by people and talking.
As a teacher you do a lot of research, reading, writing and collecting data in order to make our classes more enjoyable for the students and for ourselves in the long run. We also do not want to get bored talking the same way as in the past 10 years!
I got to know MIRO through Google research during the pandemics in May 2021. As I was giving classes with Zoom and Skype, I tried to make it more enjoyable with images and to give structure to my classes.
Now I am going through my papers, because I am moving out, and I see how much we accumulate with papers. Then I am digitizing my documents and class material and I will use some of it with MIRO.
