A great and flexible tool for teams with little or lots of experience with being distributed
What do you like best about the product?
I love that I can sketch the basics of a project management board or resource tool and that the designer on our team can update it to make it engaging, fun and playful--Miro offers a great blend of "art & science" for our team. For example, we use the voting tool, frames and embedded links to create a self-guided coaching resource that feels almost like a board game into Miro that follows a retro 80s theme--we even included a YouTube link to play 80s music while you use the tool. In this era of being online so much, there are lots of ways to make engaging in our tools through Miro more fun and helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
We work with a lot of groups so I wish there was an easier way to do polls other than voting. I wish there was a poll feature tied to the chart and graph feature. I'd love to be able to have interactive button that populate a table with integers and then update a graph. I also wish there was an easier way to share templates of Miro boards with those outside our team. Perhaps this is a pay wall issue, but it would actually help us get Miro into more people's hands.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Google docs are prolific in our organization, but they assume a linear process flow and are limited in terms of expressing holistic concepts as well as creativity. We get feedback from our users that when we advertise new features via Instagram, going to Google Docs to use a coaching tool feels like a sharp right turn. Through Miro, I'm able to embed all the resources that I would in a Google doc like links to websites, PDFs and other tools but I'm able to express the coaching journey as a journey. Also, feedback through post-it notes and other features make interacting with our tools much easier.
Very intuitive to use with advanced integrations
What do you like best about the product?
Miro has a great real-time collaborative UI for distributed whiteboarding. It has one comprehensive whiteboard for various types of documents being shared and worked on by the team.
Pre-built templates rather than starting out from scratch. Just import the templates and you have placeholder items which you can edit and get the board up and running extremely quickly.

What do you dislike about the product?
Integration with JIRA should have been free to allow JIRA board imported into Miro.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Real-time dynamic collaboration. All Project, Agile, and Developer tasks dynamic views in one place.
Miro is very helpful for remote, cross-functional and collaborative teams!
What do you like best about the product?
What I like the most about Miro is the fact it is cloud-based and has many templates for many types of boards.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike about Miro is the drawing tools—they are improving, however.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Miro in our software research, design and engineering teams has been immensely valuable to conduct everyday work and collaboration. Without it we'd be stuck using a few different inadequate tools. Some co-worker here swear by it and would lose their minds if they didn't have it. :-)
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For those considering Miro I'd only have to say to don't think you'll be able to replace a drawing tool (AI, Sketch, etc.) with it. With that said, the tools for wireframing and drawing are improving. Otherwise, Miro has been an indispensable tool for our teams.
My experience thus far has been very good, it is a great collaborative platform that is easy to use.
What do you like best about the product?
I love how it's a platform where group works can be done easily on, especially during these tough times due to the pandemic. The features that are on Miro are very helpful, such as being able to create maps and graphs that help with brainstorming, as well as the post it notes that can allow for quick ideas to be jotted down. I also personally like the feature that shows any changes that have been done on Miro when i log on again. This helps me keep track of who has done what. Additionally, Miro is a very broad platform which means not can I only use it for my studio classes but I can also use it for my management classes. Overall, I would very likely recommend it to anyone and everyone.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can sometimes take longer than usual to load the page.
One aspect that can be improved is being able to download a board as I like using my work throughout my presentations, and when I screenshot my work off Miro the quality gets distorted and is not as clear as i would like it to be.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a design management student, doing online courses hasn't been the smoothest. Miro has been an extremely beneficial platform for my studio classes.
Miro has enabled me and many other students in my field to get more creative and involved in group projects. I have used it almost everyday since I started using it.

I would advise people to utilize every feature that Miro offers.
Self explanatory, easy to use collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
Miro's proven to be a flexible tool to be used for multi-purpose collaborations, concept meetings, private annotations, brainstorming workshops.
They keep introducing small incremental updates, thereby extending the feature set with useful improvements to their product, while keeping the user experience stable (so no annoying moments where you need to look for everything you thought you knew if you haven't used the tool for a while...). I really liked for example the 'meeting-style screensharing functionality to draw the focus to what's relevant and the option to hide and reveal content on the appropriate time.
The real time collaboration with no delay or sync issues is really a game changer, no need to wait for the input of your colleagues or clients to appear, as is often the case with other collaboration tools.

What do you dislike about the product?
I personally stick to the browser version so can't judge for real, but I do hear some colleagues struggling with the desktop version, it seems to be slower in starting up or accessing a certain canvas compared navigating to your canvas in the browser version.
A point for improvement (and I hope the Miro developers get to read this) is the switch between the navigation mode versus the edit or select mode. It's easy to overlook what mode your in and thus some user might accidentally drag or move components or entire frames out of the way, causing some disturbance in the collaboration session.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows us to quickly capture the essence of a discussion/idea/concept without much preparation. We're doing content workshops, retrospectives, partner evaluation, process reviews, all using the same simple toolset.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just give it a try, you'll find out quick enough if it's what you need. no harm done in trying.
Miro is magic!
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use and lack of complexity. They providing you with only the needed instruments. You don't think about the interface and just work!
What do you dislike about the product?
Miro on IPad version could be better. I often make unintended things with Apple Pencil. Company, Group, personal files could be structured better. I find it hard to locate some of my documents.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Transporting ideations into digital form. Miro is the fastest way to make a mockup of a user flow. Everything needs a draft version first
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go for it if you need something for collaborative ideation.
Easy, breezy remote workshop
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use - Available templates saves a lot of time in designing workshop activities. Very intuitive as well
Real-time collaboration - Multiple users can access and co-create at the same time
Great details for host control - 'Hide frames' function allows you to create workshop materials beforehand, but not disclosing too much ahead of time; ' Bring all to me function' allows you to gets everyone attention easily

What do you dislike about the product?
Doesn't work well on all PC - 2 out of 15 participants have difficulties accessing the board/ navigating functions
Some Ux functions - Unless EVERY element is locked. Things just dragged along with the mouse too easily. Have to spend time locking frames, shapes, picture, background...also duplication/ deletion of certain template elements when customizing, can be very tedious

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My work requires me to design and facilitate workshop with internal and external teams. Miro has been a great platform that helps me migrate to a 'virtual workspace' under COVID impact
It's the easiest and best online platform for team collaboration.
What do you like best about the product?
You can have brainstorming sessions with your team, or create to complete systems in the same board. It seems that's a never ending board, this lets you have an infinite amount of ideas or iteration in your projects without the necessity of creating a new board.
It also lets add several add-on's or plug in's with so it complements your work in other platforms like Notion, Slack, Google Sheets. An other great advantage for me as an UX Designer, is the easy way to create low fidelity wireframes with Wireframe library, they have everything I need so it's easier to maybe High fidelity wireframes in Figma.

What do you dislike about the product?
There's some limitations with the free account, like the timer, some templates and the numbers of members can work in the same board at the same time. At the same time is not as intuitive as I wish it was, I haven't been able to create my own personal board (in my account) and I can't figure out why, I've asked several Miro users and no one has been able to find a solution to my problem. An other thing I have had issues with, is the size of some of the images I want to upload to the boards I collaborate with, most of the time they are too big for Miro to handle.
It is very easy to modify others boards.
Also some new users find it a little bit hard to understand at the beginning and don't find the benefits at first instance.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration online is way easier, it really substitudes all the posts its used in real life. Also my team work is 100% remote, so it helps us create as a team in a very easy way. All the templates that are in the gallery are super useful, they are very clear and intuitive to fill. Also these templates cover a huge variety of subjects, from the design world with tools like customer journeys, blue print, customer persona, empathy map; business and strategy tools, like the stakeholders map, business model canvas, concept maps, flow charts, etc.
Miro has also had a big influence in the way I work, study and explain ideas to others. I really makes my life easier by having all the tools (and more) I could use in real life but completely online. At my college must of my teachers use it to program their courses, and also for collaboration with us during the course, making it really interactive and I think it makes it easier to learn.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is a very powerful online too for self or collaboration use, I would really recommend you look deep into all the tools that Miro has available for you, it can really help your ideation process, visualize all the alternatives you have, also you can keep a complete documentation of work process of your projects.
Make sure you know all the tools Miro has, and keep up with the updates so you are updated to the newest versions and tools added to the catalog.
It can really be your daily basis work tool either if you are a designer, content creator, business woman, etc... there is no limitations

Miro enables our teams to continue productivity in Covid times
What do you like best about the product?
The easiness of creating quick collaboration areas for specific workshops.
What do you dislike about the product?
With low bandwidth some team members struggle to use Miro.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're doing all our Agile workshops on Miro. Benefit realized is effective team collaboration.
An essential tool for creative collaboration online
What do you like best about the product?
The highlights of Miro is the wealth of features within the board. There's so much you can do, and it's evident that they've been working with this for some time. It's a very mature product. The ability to trace your colleagues and screen share from within Miro is a great feature, reducing the need to use screen sharing within your conference call applications.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's very little to dislike. The one thing I can think of is that when a board get's very crowded, it can take some time to load. So you need good structure on your boards, and this will never be an issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's the perfect tool for remote workshops. But it's also a great tool for the things you don't obviously have any other tool for. A great place to ideate, do retros, collect material for research, or simple a place to quickly visualise an idea or thought.
