The interface is great to have everything in one place and run sessions that can show journey.
What do you like best about the product?
The open interface where we can create our own flow and that guests have limited access, if I want. I can control the interaction completely.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not too many templates yet to select from. The ones available are too structured. Would love to see some more "Play" or "Fun" features that we can integrate into the platform (maze, puzzle etc)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We got a team of 100 people to share their thoughts in the same place. It was a great way for them to own their work and collaborate with each other in real time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is not connected to Teams, that makes it even more integrated.
The best way to plot thought process and share it within a team
What do you like best about the product?
Miro's outstanding features include the ability to conduct collaborative brainstorming sessions, process mapping (to detect bottlenecks), and virtual meetings and breakout sessions through its built-in communication function.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although Miro has a commenting function that allows users to post text comments, quickly recording and uploading voice remarks would be a time-saving and straightforward procedure, which Miro presently lacks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro has now become a multifunctional digital whiteboard that our entire enjoys using and collaborating on. We draw and brainstorm and draft ideas and processes that connect to our company's overall strategy, which is impossible to do with a conventional whiteboard.
Miro allows for easy collaboration in a virtual work world.
What do you like best about the product?
I love the number of tools available to show what you are envisioning visually and being able to communicate this with team members.
What do you dislike about the product?
There really are no cons for me when using Miro. The only negative is that my co-workers don't completely understand how it functions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration and visually drawing marketing activities are a lot easier virtually. This would be even a tool I would use back in the office to plan for campaigns and customer journeys more effectively.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider the gap that you have in your workplace. Do you want to explain a concept without a whiteboard better? Are you in a virtual setting? Even if you are not a creative/executor, how do you communicate better with your team?
Miro - An environment where ideas can be expressed creatively, shared easily and improved constantly
What do you like best about the product?
Visual - Miro encourages you to express ideas using visual elements. By default, we communicate ideas using words (written and verbal). Words are helpful when trying to remove ambiguity around a reasonably well-understood subject. However, in the early stages of an idea (e.g., brainstorming), an image/visual representation may be more effective. It communicates the essentials of an idea very quickly. It prompts the viewer to understand the concept in their own words. It does not overwhelm the viewer with peripheral information. Miro allows you to use words but provides the most value when you restrict them. It's not a giant word processing document. It's more like a vast canvas. Miro provides plenty of space so your idea isn't limited to what can fit on a single slide or page. Miro makes getting started with an idea, project, or proposal much less painful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Movement Tracker - When you're on a Miro board, an item hovers over the board to let other people know exactly where you are. During a meeting this feature is brilliant. It enables participants to know they're looking at the same thing. When creating a diagram this is less helpful. As a general rule, it's nice to work in silence until your idea is ready to be revealed. The "movement-tracker" can attract unecessary attention. Comments/feedback while you're in the process of creating aren't always helpful. They may stall the creative process and turn it into a bug-fixing exercise. There may be a feature that allows you to disable this "movement-tracker". I'll explore further.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're building an application that allows mentors to share knowledge, skills, and experience with mentees. What are the essential things a mentee or mentor would like to do? If someone joins as a mentee and decides they'd like to be a mentor, what process will they go through? Which similar applications currently exist? These are some of the questions we're discussing. Miro allows us to present many ideas on one board. The images don't have to be closely linked or set out in a particular way. All diagrams can be freely reviewed, discussed, re-reviewed, and expanded. Miro makes all of this very easy. It's much more straightforward to track developments on one board than it would be to follow updates made to multiple documents.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Dive in. You won't regret it. It isn't a replacement for other tools you may currently use, e.g., word processors, spreadsheets, and presentations. It's a highly effective way to summarise concepts that may be spread across various documents and bring them together in one place.
Miro is not just fantastic; it's moreover funtastic
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate how quickly and easily I can draw and plot the entire thought process that I have in mind to have a clear vision and insights into what I brainstorm. Furthermore, it has built-in team collaboration and productivity features that let our entire team work together on various strategic and planning-related tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
This tool is helpful for creative diagramming and strategic planning on a specific topic. Still, it is not suitable for routine content creation or task management in the manner of Asana, Todoist, and other similar tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A digital whiteboard with no limits, Miro allows me to draw and map whatever I think of on one side while simultaneously recording it on the other. However, I collaborate closely with colleagues in important project planning and strategy situations as if we were both sitting at the same desk.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
An individual or a team who only thinks within their head but struggles to visualize them into reality should try the Miro visual collaboration tool.
Almost Perfect
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is a fantastic collaboration tool. I use this regularly to conduct collaboration sessions within my team, to generate ideas (alone), and to orchestrate tightly-knit, high-profile workshops and work sessions with departments and executives within my organization. The tools are easy to use, there is a relatively low learning curve for new users (the basics can be learned in minutes), and powerful features like voting, timers, music and the ability to hide and show canvases are a true win. In a world where remote work is more commonplace, it is hard to imagine getting certain work done as efficiently without Miro. I'm a fan.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some elements of Miro that limit is function. One is the inability to assign "roles" to boards based on user type. For example, as a board owner, I can hide/show frames... but a co-facilitator cannot. So, if I'm sick or cannot make a meeting and boards are hidden, I'm out of luck unless I can transfer ownership to someone else. It would be nice to be able to assign more than own "owner" to a board so those controls can be shared. Licensing is challenging too. I know some competing products allow "free" use of the tool when invited to work in a board, but for a limited time. In our situation any user that needs to be able to "edit" a board must be a licensed user... and that process causes friction and ill-will before people have even used the tool. If working with external clients, the need for privacy is important too, so the ability to set up boards as private, restricting the type of content that is accessible externally, is important.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Miro's built-in templates and create our own. We've submitted templates to the Miroverse and have designed boards that have become a standard within (and beyond) our organizations. Many of us that lead workshops are professional designers and have been leading in-person workshops for years. It's all about creating the ideal end-user experience for participants. Working in a virtual environment has resulted in new challenges (Zoom fatigue, etc) so we've had to invent new ways of creating engaging experiences and this tool helps us do some of that. We've used Miro to create broad (and specific) ideas, orchestrate stand-ups and sprint retrospectives, plan long-term events and educational plans, document discussion, prioritize initiatives, vote on ideas, and many, many more. My team uses this took more than any other software product, especially in a remote-work environment. Even if we were doing things in-person, Miro lets us capture (and retain) our work... unlike a traditional wall or whiteboard.
Miro is a powerful tool for instructional designers
What do you like best about the product?
Miro has great flexibility. It can be an empty canvas, or you can select from a deep bank of templates to speed up your work. I am also thrilled that there is now a Teams integration and soon will be a Zoom integration.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few formatting limitations that can make it a little challenging to style things, but it's really just a minor inconvenience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've used Miro to show a client what they could do to make their training more collaborative, helped another client do a series of process mapping workshops virtually, and often design learning activities that have a Miro component. Miro makes it possible to have meaningful virtual training sessions and productive workshops/working sessions in a distributed way.
Miro eases the collaborative work for projects handled online and helps on Project management tools
What do you like best about the product?
The capacity to draw schemas and flows. It helps on doing brainstormings collective and personal.
What do you dislike about the product?
It does not offer as many figures as other software like Canva.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me with project management issues, to prepare workshops that are easy to share and to work together, to make big schemas of production process flows...
Incredible tool for whiteboarding and brainstorming.
What do you like best about the product?
A very powerful tool that has a range of functionalities. The weird thing is that even with such a plethora of features, it is easy to use. I'd recommend it both to remote and in-office teams.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is no major disadvantage - it does its job really well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Brainstorming/ideating
- Technical diagrams
- UX Architecture/flows/logic
- Basic Project management (for very early-stage startups)

Miro for all people and needs
What do you like best about the product?
Its flexibility, its essentially a whiteboard which I can do anything there. . I use Miro for a lot of things: creating a note, creating a plan for work or studies, wireframing, etc
What do you dislike about the product?
Its gets heavy the more note you have. Which is normal, but I think miro should tell us if it's already too heavy or give us a tips to break down our board or don't upload to much picture, etc
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
-Making notes, I like to screenshot a PowerPoint for example, and put my sticky notes around it
-Designing idea flow, I make a point and point after that like an idea tree
-Wireframing, I like to make a wireframe a low fi design
