What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When everything went online with Covid we (as employers of a company that had never allowed to work from home) had way to host online workshops/retrospectives/brainstormings,... simply no proper solution to facilitate collaboration and online discussions. Until we discovered Miro :-) It makes collaboration so much easier. Everything that only worked on flipcharts/whiteboard before works online now - with even more possibilities.
Good collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to understand for new users and best for collaboration with a large team. This helps to keep all related information at one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lact of expand and collape features (mainly in the mind maps), content is widespread and distributed. Can reduce complexity by implemeting collapse/expand nodes
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Distributed planning is our main focus. Miro is helping to work simultaneously with a distributed team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Works best for collaborating with a large team simultaneously.
Miro does it better!
What do you like best about the product?
Before using Miro I used other shared whiteboards such as Draw.io or Wrike. I switched to Miro, or rather RealtimeBoard when a friend introduced me to it. Since then I have never abandoned this tool, especially because it has improved a lot over the years and allows me to add many things to it. Now I also use it for presentations for my talks. Really a super product!
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm waiting for the connection with Google Meet :-)
I think that this kind of integration is a must-have in this "new era" of remote working.
That's all

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One tool for many different types of jobs to be done: remote consultancy, brainstorming with the team, place where to put ideas or other stuff, mind mapper, repository for template, etc.
Best collaboration/ whiteboard tool there is?
What do you like best about the product?
- it's extremely easy to learn
- easy sharing, with quite impressive "guest" rights, making them actual participants of whatever you're doing
- lots of tools,
- easy to learn, hard to master? the vast amount of tools grants almost endless possibilities
- community-created templates

What do you dislike about the product?
if anything - speed. Big boards containing many elements and objects take quite a while to load. it's an online tool, so it's understandable, but still... I was hoping that desktop version would store/ cashe something locally, so it's quicker, but it does not seem to be the case.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Scrum meetings (retros, planning)
Brainstorming sessions
cross departments discussion/ problem solving
Ease of use makes it easy of all participants. Miro's design and aesthetics make people want to play with it and have some fun -> at some point even introduction to miro could be considered as an Ice Breaker

I use this tool hourly and can't live without it
What do you like best about the product?
The most beneficial feature is being able to closely collaborate with a few or hundreds of my colleagues and family to unlock creativity and spark conversations. I can't live without this tool!
What do you dislike about the product?
While there is a quick and easy way to import light data into Miro, it would be great to be able to easily export data (other than images). However, Jira integration is available, but I haven't had a chance to experiment with this, however my organization is planning to enable soon.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
User story mapping, road mapping, program planning, brainstorming, team dashboards, voting, story sizing, drawing, the sky is the limit! The tool significantly increases my teams productivity and creativity.
Invaluable innovation and collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
Miro can serve as a visual map of your ideas and logic. People don't process information in the contextual hierarchies of folders - we do it spatially. Filing and processing information in Miro is a lighter mental lift than applications that rely on contextual nesting. Our productivity has tripled using Miro.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, Miro will enter a 'reconnecting' state while it syncs the app with the cloud. Infrequently, this results in my latest activity (ex. entering a block of text) will disappear. I may lose 40-50 words max. While this may only happen once or twice in three months, this can be pretty inconvenient in a meeting where I am taking live notes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We solve everything from high strategy to innovation pipelines to product wireframes. We use Miro to capture verbatims during UX studies, build workflows, and gather/analyze research. We initialize every department project with a Miro board, and we collaborate as a team both synchronously and asynchronously throughout the project. We use a visual mechanism to workshop written composition and marketing inside Miro. We build research presentations in Miro and present them directly from the board. The reduction in data entry, increase in visibility, seamless collaboration, and speed of uptake are massive benefits to our productivity.
Amazing tool for virtual collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Miro has been an awesome tool for our company as we moved from 100% in-person interviews into 100% virtual interviews. The platform is easy to learn and use with little prior experience with virtual whiteboards.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some candidates dislike Miro because they feel they work faster with pen and paper or a real, physical whiteboard. Some have said that solutions take longer to draw/write out in a virtual space.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We solved the problem of moving into a completely virtual world in 2020. Our interviews are highly collaborative and require our candidates to work together on a single solution.
Certainly the best realtime collaboration and co-creation tool out there
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is super user friendly (literally no training required and supports true realtime multi-user collaboration.
What do you dislike about the product?
Miro is getting big and there are new feature added all of the time. So far this has been fine, but there is a risk of dilution and over-complication
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Remote workshops with groups from 2 to 200 (for real)
Co-creation and collaboration in my case to align organisational stakeholders, design and define products, manage projects.
Miro is the perfect tool to facilitate through visualisation.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't get confused by their pricing plans, they are a mess.
And yes, they are expensive but worth it.
If you want to start, start with the Consultant Plan and share protected boards, then go from there as Miro has proven its usefulness.

Great Collaborative Tool
What do you like best about the product?
A great collaborative tool that allows for a perfect white board style application for remote or hybrid work. Perfect for running workshops, mapping out processes, roadmapping and even doing basic wireframes
What do you dislike about the product?
It has basic folder functions of the boards.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Used Miro to solve problems with running workshops while working remotely. Can create a virtual whiteboard that allows teams in different places to collaborate together
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Would highly recommend people who struggle to run workshops, or who plan together in the remote world to trial Miro to ease their pain. Recommend users to check out the ready made templates or on Miroverse to get fresh ideas.
Helpful Tool for group projects
What do you like best about the product?
I like the capacity of Information you can keep on the board. The board gives a good overview and makes group projects easy. The sticky notes and the frames are beneficial too.
What do you dislike about the product?
The textboxes only allow limited text. Sometimes one needs to write more than bullet points, and it would be great if the textbox could hold an entire A4 page worth of text. For non-payers, the boards are limited, even when you use Miro for a school context. We, students, can't afford Products like Miro, but we have been using them quite often. It's impossible to use past boards, as the active boards are limited.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My master class uses Miro for group work and presentations. In particular for mind mapping and gathering information on a collaborative whiteboard. Maybe the Miro team could also focus online making MIRO available to students. If this is sucessful we can continue using MIRO for business later.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is easy to use parallel to Zoom, making online group work very easy. The templates are an excellent way to organize information when you don't yet have an order.
