Doing great things together and remotely
What do you like best about the product?
Besides build around collaboration, Miro has excellent templates that help you get up to speed and jump into what matters.
I've done a couple of workshops, and I also think using Miro is better than using real post-its.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I miss more tools to illustrate, as other kind of software has.
For mindmaps, I'd love to have more tools like Mindomo has (to create more complex mindmaps and structure ideas)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm doing workshops. You can organize and categorize the information better and faster than with real post-its while addressing one of the most significant pain points at workshops: documentation.
I'm also creating UX artifacts, like user flows and journeys.
One of the biggest problems we're solving is having all the project documentation in the same place. Like having a big wall with everything: journeys, references, key research insights, etc

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is a great platform for teams, with great and very valuable templates that can help you get up to speed and focus on what matters
Amazing I love Miro
What do you like best about the product?
The Miro templates let me build amazing Scrum Retros and when I have to do my Backlog refinement, I've got all the tools with miro.
What do you dislike about the product?
I still can't find it. For now, all that Miro gives me is what I need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Building products with Miro, we put the Scrum Framework to solve our challenges.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Experiment with all your want with Miro. And If you're doing Agile Projects, welcome.
Great Collaboration Tool
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Miro is obviously listening to their user feedback and introducing new features regularly that make collaboration easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest issue for me is the time-out duration for company SSO is too short. I get logged out constantly if I'm not actively working on a board.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In a remote work environment, Miro has been critical to building shared understanding across teams and stakeholder groups. I'd say the number one thing our team has used it for is building service blueprints when the SMEs involved are not all on the same team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have a hard time building a shared understanding of processes across remote workspaces, Miro is a great choice.
Great collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
It's great for remote teams, collaboration sessions, workshops and showcasing work in meetings. As a project manager, it works great with providing a hub for teams to dump their work in progress, get feedback and knowledge sharing especially when onboarding new team members.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not keen on the scaling feature; it's of course very useful as you can continue to add to your board however the sizing of objects becomes quite inconsistent and you will find the need to scroll in or out a lot to be able to read things clearly which can also lag in loading. I'd also like to see more grid options similar to PowerPoint. We often use Miro quite informally and in a 'rough and ready' fashion but it's an excellent tool for kick-off meetings and presentations where you want things to look just that little bit clean and slick for clients.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There have been difficulties in knowledge sharing and onboarding primarily in remote times which we've been able to improve. We've been able to do this by using Miro as a one-stop-shop for all things project related to make things easier for the whole team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend that others using for the first time, check out their Miro Academy. They have lots of easy-to-digest courses to get you started and become familiar with the functions and navigation. I would then also suggest checking out the templates and community areas - lots of use cases and ideas to get you started!
Handy tool for creatively portraying ideas and concepts
What do you like best about the product?
With Miro, you can literally draw your thoughts and share them with your entire team and stakeholders and even collaborate with them in real-time. It is also possible to chat and conduct team video calls within the app itself. So, Miro is mind-blowing, especially for bringing thoughts into visuals and working together with a team to plan and coordinate various projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Because I work in a creative department, I appreciate Miro's excellent visual collaboration capabilities. A daily task management system, in addition to visual real-time collaboration capabilities, would be a great value above what is presently not available on Miro.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Thanks to the Miro for becoming an incredible visualization and real-time collaboration tool. Now, I can efficently draw and communicate my ideas, concepts, and vision to my manager and team members, which helps me remain creative and productive at my work.
Work at home sticky note whiteboard
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use of the platform. It lets you get on with creating and ideation without having to worry about the tools you use. Works with your thoughts not against it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Does not have automated mindmapping feature
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Brainstorming, design thinking sprints, product planning. project defining phases and just getting a distributed team to work the idea and problem at the same time
Suitable for real-time collaboration but a bit costly
What do you like best about the product?
Because of Miro's real-time chatting and video calling features, our team can collaborate and interact in real-time as if they were in the same room as us in our actual office space. It's a fantastic tool for creating mind maps, brainstorming, and various project processes, among other things.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not too fond of Miro's pricing plan, which is per user, which is costlier while adding plans per head. Instead, a bulk pricing plan based on each team size would be beneficial.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Overall, Miro has worked well for us as an exceptional solution for collaborative project management within a team working online from home. It, therefore, allows us to improve and debate different new ideas and thoughts constantly.
The best choice for visual collaboration, not everyday tasks or project management
What do you like best about the product?
I always feel amazing using Miro because it is not just a digital whiteboarding tool; instead, it is a fundamental tool for drawing and visualizing almost anything. Another essential part of this tool is that our entire team can work together like they are working in the physical workspace to ideate, plan and manage things in real-time.
What do you dislike about the product?
When it comes to managing daily tasks or an entire project, this program does not match other project management tools in terms of functionality. Furthermore, the formatting and layout options are virtually endless, making building a coherent canvas at times challenging.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The overall experience has been positive. While exploring and utilizing all of its features can be overwhelming at times, we have successfully used it to drive collaboration within our team with an online meeting tool to fluidly whiteboard, precisely as we would have done in a regular office environment.
Loving Learning Miro...
What do you like best about the product?
I've been using Miro for a few months now, and it's very quickly become my default application for brainstorming, capturing notes while studying, collaboratively drawing up architecture diagrams, online whiteboarding for video calls, and generally sharing plans and ideas.
I love the concept of an infinitely zoomable workspace, so you can see the 30,000-foot view of what you're doing or drill right down into as many details as you like.
Also, the freeform nature is wonderful - I'll often drop a quick Kanban board into the space I'm working on to help get my head around how I'm going to tackle my next challenge.

What do you dislike about the product?
I struggle with keeping my boards consistent in terms of font size and styling - Particularly as my boards grow over time; I find the scale of notes I made early in the process is very different to further down the track.
I need to get better at annotating screenshots within the tool - I have tried using Miro with a drawing tablet but haven't managed to quickly and neatly add handwritten notes.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Generally communication of ideas, and also capturing notes while studying - I'm taking several online courses at the moment, and I find it very helpful to grab screenshots, add my notes and comments there. Then I can come back the next day and quickly fly around the board to review my previous learnings.
Using Miro for Architectural views of software projects is a quick way to communicate and collaborate with others in the team.

Fantastic for work with some room to grow in personal development
What do you like best about the product?
Templates so that I can quickly start a project. I like the wide-ranging business templates available so that I don't need to sit there and create a template. It helps with team brainstorming sessions and cuts down on the work I have to do before a group meeting. We have used several different boards for different projects where we can just set up a template. Work through the problem, and then come back and pick up where we left off the next time. I would say that I find the template I am looking for about 70% of the time. I think further improving that system would be well worth the time. It's the part of the app where I find the most value.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have several things that I wish would be improved. The first is the line system. There are times when I want to make a hierarchal system and find that I need to have several lines come off of the same object and go into separate objects. A one-to-many sort of approach. It is almost impossible to get this looking clean. I always end up with one line intersection being just higher than another line intersection, or a line coming off an object is just to the left of another line coming off an object. I know it seems like a minor thing. But when I am trying to do a presentation, the details are essential. So I feel like improving the aesthetic of the line system would be helpful.
The other thing that I would like to see improved is the number of templates for personal development. I use miro on my business account for business-related things like Agile planning, refinement, etc. But I also use miro on my personal account for vision boarding, goal setting, habit tracking, etc. I think that there should be some more templates aimed at that. Templates that are for personal development that aren't necessarily associated with business objectives directly. That would take miro to the next level for me and keep me from potentially looking for other solutions like milanote and figma that do have some of those capabilities.
The final thing that I'd like to see. Miro can sometimes get a bit laggy when many people are working on the board at once. This is something that I don't see when I am doing a Figjam in Figma. As an engineer, I know how difficult to optimize that can be, but I'd love to see miro be a little more fluid with a lot of people moving a lot of objects simultaneously.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My company is one hundred percent remote. I always have been, probably always will be. Miro has helped us solve the issue of not being able to sit down in front of a whiteboard and think through a solution. It has allowed us to collaborate quickly and work through different solutions until we find the one that works best for us. It has allowed us to rapidly work through a solution and develop ideas to implement that solution.
I also use it personally to help connect ideas and capture all the information about a project in one place. It's nice to put my own objects together and then use the features like sticky notes and arrows to add notes and connections. It helps me visualize the complexities of a project and string together all the dependencies that are needed to move a project forward.
For my own personal development, it helps to sort out my goals and keep track of them. I can come up with many different ways to track all the personal growth challenges that I have and keep track of them. It is as flexible as I want it to be in that regard.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I'd say to pick a template for a project you are working on and work through that. That is probably going to be your best bet on figuring out if Miro is best for you. Once you have one board filled out, you will know the value proposition of Miro.
