Online collaboration and workshopping made easy
What do you like best about the product?
Collaborating within a team and outside a team is so easy - at all stages of a project, from brainstorming to creating reports. Especially like the new integration with MS teams, and Miro is also updating their features quite frequently and support is super fast.
What do you dislike about the product?
Only thing that comes to mind is the ability to have a table of contents for your boards that can also be exported to PDF.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Making working together remotely fun
- Designing a nice report with multiple people has never been easier (and with less conflicts)
- Speed in collaborating with clients and making sure they are engaged in workshops

Miro is more than a whiteboard - be creative and see how it fits in your other processes.
BEST ONLINE TOOL EVER. The free version is better than most paid tools!
What do you like best about the product?
IT WORKS IN REAL-TIME!! No, seriously, Miro is the best tool I have ever used as far as online collaboration. You can literally see other people typing and clicking on things as they do it. It's about the only thing that makes remote work approximate actual face-to-face meetings. You can hold planning meetings, brainstorms, retrospectives, and more with small or large groups and it STILL WORKS. We've done meetings with upwards of a dozen people on at the same time, and it still works in real time.
EASIEST DIAGRAMMING TOOL. PERIOD. I've used a bunch of different diagramming tools over the years, and most of them are buggy and laggy and hard to learn and require you to pay to make anything that isn't super simplistic. Miro is so easy and intuitive to use that I feel like I could hand it to anyone cold turkey and they could have a decent diagram in minutes. It let's you select things and move them around together without having to group them first, and you can actually drag and drop in the way that your brain thinks you should be able to. Caveat: you DO have to pay if you want to be able to export large PDFs of your diagrams, but the fact that everything to make the diagrams in the first place is free is pretty darn awesome.
IMPORT TEMPLATES. Although Miro has a bunch of great templates of their own, I LOVE that they allow you to import templates that other people have built. It's a paid feature, but it makes the tool infinitely more valuable.

What do you dislike about the product?
The Table tool doesn't seem to be super user friendly, but then I've never met a table tool that was. I really can't think of anything else. This tool is the whole package.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We run remote discovery meetings with clients through Zoom and Miro, which allows us to collaborate as if we were in the room together. We also make diagrams of our processes, and we do story mapping with it.
It is very useful to work remotely; it is like being all at the same large virtual table.
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to have several people working at the same table and between them can see their movements in real-time, without delay.I do not know many other competitors, we only compared it with Paddlet, but we opted for Miro because it is easier to use, and has more functions.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it is not possible to download the entire work table in a jpg; you have to make more petite frames. It would be helpful to be able to download in pdf, so as not to lose quality.
It would also be useful to be able to load videos and preview them directly in Miro, (or to generate a sequence of frames like a storyboard, or at least a thumbnail of the video) Currently what we do is put a link to the drive where the video is saved. You have to click the link to see it.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Miro to solve the contingency of teaching graphic design at the university virtually and remotely due to the pandemic.
But we discovered that it is equally possible and has its benefits: For those who live far and not so far away, virtual classes save them travel time (Nowadays, virtual classes allow us to work with a teacher who resides in France, although the university is physically in Buenos Aires, and it also allowed most of the students stay in their hometown, so they are connecting from different parts of Argentina); To save the collective process of the class, so that our superiors can see it whenever they want; To have an express follow-up of the process of each student. It is also convenient to be able to leave sticky notes with comments and corrections. And it also allows students to see their peer's work, and generate an exchange of feedback and ideas and collaborate with each other.

It is an excellent virtual platform to create visual projects collaboratively.
Miro is one of my main tools as a product designer
What do you like best about the product?
I like the free-form essence of it. I can quickly create a mind-map while it's fresh in my mind. I use it at least a few times a week to get ideas out of my head and onto "paper." Then I have boards where I collaborate with my teammates to brainstorm everything from branding sprints to mapping out a system for marketing and design to collaborate. It's just really sturdy, and I've used it for many years since it was initially called "Realtimeboard." Fantastic UX.
What do you dislike about the product?
The freemium plan is very limited. I'm used to Slack and Figma, which really give you a lot as a personal user or freelancer, and they make money off businesses. I struggle to come up with any other negatives.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it for our design sprints. That could be for a feature or for branding itself. I recently used it to develop a process mindmap that details how our marketing and design teams can work together. WIthout a visual, it's almost impossible to explain to somebody else. With Miro, I can do it all pretty quickly and effortlessly. Lastly, I love to use it for moodboards.
To Miro or Not To Miro (that is the question)!
What do you like best about the product?
I was a little late to MIRO! I was the "person" that other people shared their miros with. Times have changed... now all 40+ people on my team share their miro on a weekly basis. It is a great way to have a visual representation of their work/progress and to be able to share with The Verse team at large. We use miro for ideation, product development sessions, and onboarding.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sharing of miros across free plan. I wish I could share more miros with others who have a free plan.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visualization of products. Visualization of community. Visualization of game narratives and game mechanics.

I have used a number of whiteboards and visual tools... Miro is the best! Miro is a great collaboration tool!
How Miro is effective for Brainstorming and Record Keeping
What do you like best about the product?
I am a huge fan of how many functionalities and customizations Miro has to offer. Whether it be the ability to present within tjhe board or to collaborate with others, it is an all around great tool. Frames have been particularly helpful when it comes to showing othe rpeople testing results and doing patient interviews.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that there is no way to save a "template" for a cluster of shapes. For example, each day I use the same combination of 3 squares connected by lines (the top square is for the date and test method, the middle square is for the picture and title of the feature we are exploring, and the third bottom square is for the numerical results). The next day I have to copy and paste the previous day's squares and erase all of it's content, then start again which is very time consuming. If there was a way to save a blank cluster of shapes and words that would be awesome.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving the problem of organization and collaboration in our team. With the pandemic, a lot of the engineers who did admin work and not testing like the interns were working from home because their work did not require being in office. This caused a disconnect between WFH staff and in-person staff. Miro helped to breach the gap and provided us with a solution to stay connected. It is also great for record keeping becauyse boards never expire.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is a great collaboration tool, especially for large groups doing a brainstorming session (where the timer, and calling people to where you are on the board comes in handy), presentations (where frames and ability to google image search come in handly) and record-keeping (where arrows, links to files, and timestamps come in handy). I would suggest not over-crowding a board as it will eventually become very laggy due sto many different sections having to load.
Awesome
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is a must have for running sessions with a distributed people. Love the features of being able to follow people, the recent addition of a good integration with google docs, so you can embed them and update on the fly without leaving miro
What do you dislike about the product?
Controls can feel a little quirky at first and its easy for people to accidentally move things around if you forget to lock down a frame. There is a little quirk where multi-selecting something new will sometimes also select the previous objects which is a bit annoying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- large scale facilitation with people across different locations
- quick option for capturing ideas and iterating on them
- useful to create goal trees and current reality trees

One product to rule them all
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is a great product for brainstorming, product discovery and product management in general. In addition, I find all the templates very useful. Compared to competitors it is easier to use
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not super easy to integrate Jira with Miro even though integration is available. Also, the mobile version is not yet easily used. I wish I had a better mobile (iPad) version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I solved the communication problem between the product team and other members of the company. It also allows me to have all the tools I need to do strategic and tactical planning on a single board.
Miro - interactive diagram creation bliss
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to use drag and drop creation of diagrams with easily accessible shapes - Excellent Templates - and well-thought-out visual controls. The navigation pane at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen is genius. Ability to choose what an invited person sees upon first view is also very useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Very limited number of shapes on the left pane. No bullet points in sticky notes (that I can find anyway) - As I use the sticky notes for collaborative work I think it would benefit bullet points (numbered and bulleted) available in the sticky notes
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problems solved -
Easy collaborative Jam sessions during working remote meetings
Navigation - It is much easier to navigate around a sprawling diagram than other similar products

Amazing Experience
What do you like best about the product?
As a UI UX designer I utilize Miro a lot for whiteboard discussions, collaborative work, design planning, design feature analysis and a whole lot;
What I love about it is it easy-to-use and low learning curve;
Their helpful tooltip, their very helpful FAQs, the straightforwardness of the tools and how simple but powerful it is.
It even provides wireframing capabilities.

What do you dislike about the product?
My only dislike for miro is how the free version is only limited to three active boards at a time and how I personally feel its pricing is relatively a bit expensive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a UI UX developer Miro is a powerful tool for collaborative work with stakeholders, fellow designers, and clients;
it allows me to undertake my end to end UX research, ideate on product features and develop UI wireframes as well.
