Trying to incorporate Miro in class lectures...
What do you like best about the product?
Instead of the linear presentation of slides, Miro enables me to display ideas next to one another in a nonlinear manner that better illustrates the complexities and multi-layered nature of what we are discussing. I can even start in the center of a board and work outward toward the edges. I am still trying to figure out how to do this with post-its and images (jpegs), short animiations, and short film clips.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's taking me time to learn Miro and, with my schedule, I keep having to set it aside until I have time, which is usually months later, and I have to re-teach myself each time I start back up. I had hope to be using Miro in the classrooms by now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to display ideas and topics in our discussion nonlinearly solves the problem of flipping back and forth between slides. Miro allows me to leave each concept (picture and/or post-it with text) posted on our board so, as the class discussion progresses, the students can see how the topics expand. They are encouraged to see how ideas develop, building upon one another and how they might connect and relate to one another.
Love Miro - probably my favorite software!
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, easy to share and very collaborative
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the controls are a bit wonky until you get the hang of them (selecting items, scrolling on the screen, etc...)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My workflows and requirements are much more visual, organized and easy to create. Turned static content docs of requirements into living and breathing visual workflows and my team is hooked! Cuts time to create business and functional requirements from hours or even days to sometimes only minutes!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take some time to get to learn in and find out how it works best for you. It can do many things, but that does not mean it has to do everything!
Our teams favourite piece of software
What do you like best about the product?
Hard to describe what we like the best. It's just so easy to use and a must for remote teams! We love it!
What do you dislike about the product?
Absolutely nothing. It's perfect! Its just keeps getting better each week it seems
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working remotely was the biggest, but now we use it for planning, for roadmaps, meetings, etc, etc
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just give it a try. You will never look back!
Flexible, time saving and clever
What do you like best about the product?
The simplicity and flexibility for creating various graphics and the natural feel when collaborating with others online.
What do you dislike about the product?
While not complicated, Miro is different enough from conventional applications that it often didn't/doesn't feel intuitive. Some more contextual help would be useful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Brainstorming with remote colleagues. Mapping processes and project structures.
We save a lot of time because Miro doesn't require the usual "clean up" after a session to make a brainstorming or other activity legible and understandable. We also just save a lot of time due to the ease of creating and modifying the graphics - it's just easier and faster than conventional applications.

Fantastic online tool for real-time collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
So much. Real-time visibility to what everyone else is doing online. The ability to use or create templates that can re-create in-person experiences for familiarity or take advantage of online templates to remove the barriers that physical space would make. I also like that you can anonymize participants to enter information without knowing who wrote what - very useful for honest comments.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a bit of a navigation learning curve which is expected with any technology tool. The learning curve is short but steep. Once you get participants over that initial hurdle, they are fine. Low-tech users sometimes struggle, but a little patience and good planning go a long way in helping them get familiar with working in the MIRO space.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
So many things. Focus group feedback, customer and employee engagement, process improvements. The main benefit, the way we are using MIRO, is that we get great information and contributions because we set it so that people can join anonymously. Participants can write their truth without fear of repercussions. People who don't usually speak up or speak truth to power love using MIRO the way we set it up. We also find that introverts love using MIRO as there is a way for their voice to be heard without being drowned out by the talkers if we were in person.
An indispensable collaboration tool for our regtech startup
What do you like best about the product?
We're a fully remote company, so this is the whiteboard we don't have. We use it for planning releases, for doing business analysis, and UX design. The best thing is the ability to see what other people are looking at, e.g. by following their mouse pointer. Then there's the infinite whiteboard space, easy replication of diagrams and long term storage. Miro is actually better than a real whiteboard!
What do you dislike about the product?
There's very little to dislike. Out of all the SaaS subscriptions we have, this is the most valuable tool we have as a team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Previously, we had trouble communicating visualising online. Now, we are able to workshop online effectively, saving us time and money that it would cost to travel to the same place and hire a venue.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it for a while and see how many uses you have for it. We've been seriously impressed by the templates, responsiveness and easy exports.
Collaborative Working Made Easy
What do you like best about the product?
Miro enables people with all technical abilities to work together remotely, just as if you were stood around a whiteboard. The UI is intuitive for mind-mapping, note-taking, and basic diagramming.
What do you dislike about the product?
For more complex diagramming, Miro becomes a bit more clunky, particularly when looking at tables.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Miro for Systems Engineering to gather requirements from stakeholders in multiple locations. We use Miro post-its to arrange stakeholder needs by affinity before bringing the requirements offline into other software. It is also helpful for drawing system diagrams, such as functional flow diagrams, although if you dig into too many levels, it will become challenging to manage.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get started with a free license and upgrade if you find it useful.
Miro is what was missing from our collar setup
What do you like best about the product?
I push to use Miro for design tasks that start off with collective sharing of ideas, brainstormig, UX workshops and other "canvas-oriented" activities. I love the webpage feature and I use it basically on every board. It's so easy to get everyone on the same page. I like how the updates from my teammates are highlighted, and how the cover of each board reflects what's inside - much easier to remember which board is what based on visual memory, not just remembering the titles.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think some icon choices in the interface are confusing. I find myself constantly pushing the wrong buttons, I struggled most with cards and comments for some reason. I also couldn't make the Web clipper work. I installed the Chrome extension but somehow nothing was happening and I gave up.
Another piece of feedback that I shared previously is the insane number of emails I was bombarded with right after sign-up. It was annoying and overwhelming.
The last thing is the team setup. I wish I could invite teammates with viewing/commenting right only to the whole project space, not just individual boards. For us, it doesn't make sense to have a ton of editors, but we need to share things with the team quite often.
When I start a new board and I just want it empty, that modal that suggests templates to me always creates the impression that I can not get past it easily, there is no CTA - starts an empty board. I have to close it to do that and it throws me off no matter how many boards I start.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I love seeing all types of files and information in one place - texts, tables, charts, pdfs, pictures, web captures, etc. It helps me have a well-rounded view of the project. I realised that my colleagues have much more to say and show me besides shared files and folders in a different system.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Throw everything you want on the canvas, triage later. Don't succumb to the appeal of an infinite canvas, just because you can - it can get messy quickly. Could you keep all of your content in one huge word document? I guess you could, but it's not the brightest idea.
Asynchronous access allows flexible contributions at a time that suits everyone
What do you like best about the product?
It is very easy to get started for novice users and the voting features and post-its allow even normally quiet contributors (and those who can't make the live session) have their say
What do you dislike about the product?
the in-built videoconference function had a limit on how many participant faces you could see at once, but they've addressed this by integrating with Zoom
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
being able to do public and patient involvement and engagement virtually when COVID interrupted face-to-face gatherings

Everyone is Fit to Collaborate Together!
What do you like best about the product?
Tools are easily displayed. Also, it's eye-catching, easy to understand.
What do you dislike about the product?
While visiting the share option from a Board, I was a little bit confused because of sharing settings. I think this is an option for improving UI design. And required more easily display sharing settings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Most of the time I'm using miro to solve pre-defined end-user problems. Team collaboration helps me to reach my absolute solution.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For a new user, it can show a guideline or tooltip on how to use the miro board when the user creates his/her first board.
