Extremely Flexible and helpful templates
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Miro is so flexible. It's easy to drag and drop screenshots into the boards, to invite collaboration with sticky notes and voting dots, as well as set up grids. It can be both a wide open free-for-all or a tightly controlled collaboration environment - suitable for both divergent and convergent collaborative work.
What do you dislike about the product?
Because it can do so much, it can be overwhelming for guests who I invite to a board during a collaborative workshop. However, I think the interface is simple enough that new users are typically comfortable with it in just a matter of minutes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One of my favorite things is that people don't need to set up an account to start using it. It's relatively easy for people to just jump right in and learn the basic tools they need for the collaborative workshops I run. So, my problem, specifically, is that I didn't have a virtual white board environment that provided little to no friction for first time users, people who didn't need to LEARN how to use it necessarily, they just needed to be able to jump in for a couple of hours and then, probably, never use it again.
Helpful tools for collaborative team
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the fact that you can add whatever space that is needed to collaborate with my team. You find in the miroverse all the use cases that fit to your need and just use it as a template!
What do you dislike about the product?
You need to have a premium account to export the work but there is a lot of options: pdf, sharing with the teams, image. I think that pdf should be the minimum for a free usage.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I need one place to collaborate with my teamates. I need to work at different time and need one place to share that work. We are more productive with that solution and the product is really easy to use.

Easy & Co-operative Software
What do you like best about the product?
Colors, Brightness, easy maneuvering, easy to find boards. Great levels of filtering, A lot of shapes. Many things i ilke but the best is co-operative value of it. I can create a board with many people i work with to gain a better understanding. What I also like about my role is the fact that it automatically says as we change the board. so we don't have to worry about saving our progress it is already automatically done so there is nothing for us to worry about when closing down the desktop once we have finished for the day.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it takes a while to load my boards but thats nothing i really complain about, would just be a tad better if it loaded quicker. One other thing I do dislike is when selecting various items it doesn't actually select him when it does it's very time consuming 20 shows that is selected so I can move it but this is not an everyday thing so it is not that much of a problem. There is not many things I dislike about my role so if I had to say, these are the only dislikes I would say I have towards this software because of the other thing that this software reaches every single milestone and every single expectation and every single use I would expect it to have and more. I guess a piece of feedback I would give is that it could have more variety in terms of colour coding with it's notes so when you stick a sticky note on you can change the colour to a more variety of colours rather than just the selected few but that's something that's not that essential but it would be nice to have.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving issues with our content management and finding paint points so we can migrate to another software and this way we can all contribute to the board in order to gain an understanding of 1 another's perspectives which will make it easier for us to present it. That is the main benefit. One of the other benefits I've also realised when using my role is that miro can be used for anything. we use it for business we use it for planning certain meetings insert and events were used for timetabling process mapping anything that you can think of that we can make interactive is what we use my role for because the benefits of doing this is helping everyone's understanding and it is easier to do so with this software especially with people that don't have a general consensus of what we're trying to convey initially
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Highly recommend. My advice is to use this when consulting and going through various processes and getting others to understand your prospect/consensus.

Awesome tool for teams to visually work together
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Miro is that you can work on the same page together with multiple colleagues. It is like a multiplayer business game. So far, I haven't found any other minimalistic and easy-to-use tool. So if you're looking for something to boost your team's creativity and collaboration, this is what you need!
What do you dislike about the product?
My only dislike is the limitation of boards one can create in the accessible version of Miro. I would also like to use this tool for my private projects with friends.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We do use Miro for many different topics. Either for online seminars, to teach new colleagues in a fun way, or for visualizing our project developments.
In the past, we used pen and paper or Excel Sheets to visualize and keep track of our progress. But as you probably know, after a while, this all becomes very messy.

Complete collaboration tool thats is perfect for today's remote working
What do you like best about the product?
I use Miro for a multitude of activities. As no project is the same, I can use the templates and tools that make sense to collect, organise and plan what I need to do. From there, sharing is super easy with people being able to work together in a meeting, or my preference is people can add their thoughts and comments in their own time.
What do you dislike about the product?
I found it a little overwhelming to get started as there are so many features, templates etc but now that i have my 'go to' templates i'm a lot happier :)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work as a Product Manager and working with coworkers and clients internationally. I use it for Story planning, roadmapping, iteration planning etc. I also prefer the style of using boards and visuals rather than large text documents.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get started with using the templates to brain dump thoughts. It's flexible so you can always move and organise and set up structure later.
The best solution to work together on a broad range of subject, and it work remote !!
What do you like best about the product?
The easiness to learn, and use miro. And the speed of the site itself, even with a lot of content, the miro never lag or crashes. You never lose all your work. Miro is saving it for you.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is hard to list things I dislike in miro, but I think it could profit from a bit wider variety of forms to create and express yourself. Also, the interface to choose your workplace is a bit messy sometimes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Whenever we need to work on a new subject or brainstorm on anything with my friends and colleagues, we rush to miro. It makes sharing information and though so easy.
Great tool with many different use cases
What do you like best about the product?
It is very easy to draft out and communicate ideas. The infinite whiteboard offers lots of room to play with, and thanks to very useful features such as wireframes or cards, the idea can be elaborated easily without cluttering the space.
What do you dislike about the product?
Miro offers a lot of templates; however, I haven't found myself using them much because they haven't matched my exact requirements or are difficult to adjust. Also, I am not a big fan of the table feature, and it would be nice if there were the option to add and edit a spreadsheet to the whiteboard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using Miro primarily to conceptualize features before sharing them with other stakeholders in the company. I create rough mockups that our design team can gather inspiration from or take notes on points that have to be reworked or decided.
Top tool for homeoffice collaboration!
What do you like best about the product?
Everyone has the possibility to look at the same board with their access, the need to share the screen diminishes. To pick up a conversation in the next meeting based on the picture we created saves a lot of time in recapping and onboarding. It was amazing to be able to explain a very complex matter on different meta planes to the management, based on the picture we created on our miro board. Though the compliment to miro is not the picture in itself, but the process in getting it, to optimize and tweak it. I do like the repositories, they speed up the process for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
The usability in a Browser setting is annoying as browser shortcuts and features overrule the board/site. e.g. "backwards-Button" on my mouse - all nice and smooth, but in miro i just change the site. Right-click is not possible. So this basic premise is already the biggest weakness. In the corporate setting, some hybrid would be great, but I can understand inherent apprehension to this Idea from a professional standpoint as a requirements Engineer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are working in a home office environment. We cannot look physically at whiteboards and flipcharts. So the basic need is fulfilled. But as I can take the result of one meeting, enhance it and use it as a starting point for the next meeting is great. The next level of people in the hierarchy get the possibility to appreciate the work gone already into our ideas and can contribute way faster. I use the boards in the development of requirements for the software. Based on a miro board, I can explain the planned process and software. The Developers can come back to the board and make their estimations concerning the difficulty and time needed for the development without me. That is really helpful!

Just do it ! (sorry nike ;))
Shared whiteboard tool on steroids
What do you like best about the product?
In some ways, Miro enables workshops even better than a physical whiteboard. No need to clean up after you've finished, or make sure you've remembered enough pens and sticky notes. You can make the space as expansive as you like and return to it whenever you feel like it. Once everyone has connected, collaboration works very smoothly. It also allows you to create very slick-looking visuals like flowcharts and system diagrams. And the built-in mind mapper tool is helpful as well. Overall, I like the level of flexibility that it provides - you can use whatever visual language you want - while making it easy to perform common tasks like adding arrows between entities and writing sticky notes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Getting everyone up and running on a new board can take some planning unless you want to spend the first 10 minutes of a meeting ensuring that everyone has edit permission. While Miro is easy to use once you're familiar with it, there is a bit of a learning curve when you're getting started. It would be great to reduce the number of popups and feature announcements, or at least suppress them until you're ready to look at them. Usually, when I'm opening a board, I'm trying to get something done, so I will dismiss any popups without bothering to work out if they're useful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Compare the features of Miro against other tools that you're using, and consider how Miro offers the benefits of multiple tools in one package. Consider how frequently you would benefit from a multi-user shared whiteboard.
Best Tool for Workshopping
What do you like best about the product?
I love using Miro for all my stakeholder workshops; it is simple to use with many great templates in Miroverse. It has made our virtual experiences so much easier, especially throughout Covid.
What do you dislike about the product?
At this point, there is nothing immediate that comes to mind. The Miro product team is always making updates and constantly improving my experience with the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro has given me the ability to translate things that we used to do in person virtually in a seamless manner. It has made it easier to engage teams across the globe and document everything digitally without going back and documenting everything afterward. It is perfect for collaboration between teams and stakeholders.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly recommend this tool over some of the other whiteboarding tools out there. I have had an opportunity to use various tools in my career, and Miro is by far my favorite.
