Enabling better collaboration with others and brainstorming!
What do you like best about the product?
Three big reasons why Miro makes me more effective and happy.:
Miro is fundamentally designed for work together with others. You can very quickly invite either members or guests into the board and even add passwords for a little extra security. I find this aspect of co-creation very important when facilitated workshops or other meetings as if you're the only one writing things down, it either slows things down,, or you're not getting everyone's voice. In these days of constant virtual meetings, if you're not getting them involved, you're probably going to lose them.
Anything key aspect of Miro is that it's incredibly nonrestrictive, just like a white board. This gives me more flexibility to add notes and other details in the stress of a workshop. It also has so many options to customize the look and feel that you can design what the experience will be for the participants. This designed experience can be extra helpful when working with those who are not comfortable with newer technologies. Keep it as simple as just stickies or start creating complex exercises. You get to choose. And also, this freedom helps with trying to break down concepts that you're trying to unpack and learn something complex.
Finally, one aspect of Miro that stands out is the commitment to the end-user. On one side, there's the constant trickle of new functionality to continue to improve the usage of their tool. And on the other side, there's the commitment to learning and community. There's a massive amount of learning content available for everyone, and they've created and nurtured a community to allow then people to share their templates and their learning with others.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are only two things that I wish Miro were able to do a little better. (I assume they'll get there eventually.)
I adore mind maps as a tool to brainstorm and document a lot of information effectively. While Miro does an ok job with their mind map functionality, I find it gets hectic and large quickly. I was spoiled by another product that allowed me to collapse branches which is a game-changer and hard to go back to anything else. This missing feature means that I can't easily leverage the power of mind maps when working with others, as navigating them gets too messy.
The second item is the lack of export data out of the tool as I need*. I understand that this makes sense since it's primarily a visualization tool. Still, I wish I could export my information into a structured CSV to ease the time it takes me to leverage the collected data in another device. In a similar vein, it would be nice to have more ways to tag data. The task object is an excellent step in the right direction, so I have a lot of hope they'll continually improve.
* They do have promising integrations towards tools such as JIRA or Azure DevOps but I don't have access to those tools and can't leverage the integrations. Would be nice to have a simple CSV extraction tool.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Most problems I need to solve involve getting information from others through facilitated sessions. The benefit is that I get richer information more pleasantly through better collaboration from the participants. They can play more of an active role.
Miro brings us closer and together
What do you like best about the product?
Miro's approachable, everyone can join and feel like they are contributing. We can get stakeholders and team members involved early and often.
Templates help a lot with getting started quickly.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes hard to find things when we go crazy with the amount of "post-its." It might feel overwhelming for someone that was not part of the journey if they jump in a populated Miro board.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mainly using it for 1. User research & synthesis and 2. Getting everyone on the same page when kicking of projects.
With Miro, it's easier to bring non-designers in our design process.

Excellent brainstorming solution for remote/hybrid creative teams
What do you like best about the product?
I love how Miro brings the feeling of an in-person ideation session into a digital space. Not only does it reduce the waste and ephemeral nature of physical post-it notes, but it also levels the playing field for creative teams that encounter difficulties with being fully or partially remote.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have noticed struggles with free accounts being restricted to 3 active boards.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creative brainstorms can be tricky. Different people contribute in different ways, and sometimes, not everyone is willing to strongly voice their opinions. This became especially difficult during the Coronavirus pandemic. I feel like having the digital space removes some of the barriers to sharing ideas for more reserved individuals, meaning that no great idea is overlooked. Even if everyone is there in person, Miro allows everyone from the most vocal to the most reserved to share their great ideas. For me, that's very powerful.
Intuitive & Ingenious!
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is brilliantly simple and intuitive for users; whether you're new or an established expert in collaboration tools, Miro is very simple to pick up; and if you want to take things to an advanced level, the capability is there to scale with you. The range of applications and templates is fantastic and the outputs we've created so far have caught the attention of our clients and taken our decks to a new level.
What do you dislike about the product?
Miro has changed our collaboration sessions for the better. As we adapt to remote working as the standard, Miro has been a solid and reliable tool; finding something negative to say is virtually impossible. Integrate Miro into your working practices and prove me wrong!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mapping our business processes and the pathway flows for data within our product.
Miro helps me transform my ideas to concepts by visualizing and moving freely with my thoughts
What do you like best about the product?
Lots of features, attentiveness to end-users (feedback system to make platform better), great presentation tools, and superb tool usability. I also love the templates and the continuous improvement of Miro over time. Miro has been a game changer in my workflow to get things done. I can present clearly ideas or changes I would like to implement and in addition, to collaborate, it's very practical as everyone can jump in and chime in the work being done.
What do you dislike about the product?
Navigation and selection of items on mobile devices, mobile-friendliness should be optimized to be able to deliver powerful content at your fingertips. The platform is still missing additional control of things such as icons and other items.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Validating concepts and workflows in the company for project management and development of the project management web application. I moved a lot faster when creating and presenting concepts and ideas. Often it's about selling the idea that makes it progress.
miro is a great tool and very easy to introduce to new users in any discipline
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best is how easy is to share and work together with any type of team. I like also the community that shares lots of templates and ideas, they are easy to find and implement
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the voting feature is a bit complicated and sometimes doesn't work very well. I don´t like the admin interface, it is not possible to make bulk changes to boards, like move, copy, rename or share.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
collaboration between persons in different locations that need a visual tool for straightforward explanations and conversations. Visual sharing of ideas. Flexible presentation formats
Sketch your Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
This tool helps team collaborating into one task or project from any where in the world, in a highly seamless experience.
the first time when I used this was in a Training session, where we were 30 people from all around the world. we were collaborating on a Product Task and engaging, typing, creating, dragging stuff smoothly without any blocker, this was running absolutely fine.

What do you dislike about the product?
I think, the free version should be able to show us high quality pdf extraction at least, because I felt if I need to download or extract a pdf or jpeg in free version I can only download it on a low-quality image or file.

Yes, i have shared about miro with my friends working in technology sector and they are very happy with this product.
Versatile and Collaborative
What do you like best about the product?
Miro enables our team to collaborate very well remotely in a variety of ways. We use it to produce presentations, mind maps and flow diagrams to plan projects, and technical diagrams for reference. We've even sketched up a race track which we use as a work rota -- it's your turn if you're at the back. Its' 'follow presenter' functionality is valuable to keep everyone together in group meetings too. It's proven to be particularly beneficial when collating and sharing information within a group, especially given the integration with other software such as Teams and Confluence.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although miro is generally easy to use, some of the table functionality is a little bit clunky, lending itself better towards diagrams. It can also be easy to overlook some functionality owing to its minimalist design. It took us a while to realise we could follow a certain presenter by clicking on their initials.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro primarily helps with communication and information storage. However, we also use it to help both review and plan our work.
Very flexible and intuitive tool, great for collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
I like the cleanliness of the interface, combined with the flexibility. Some tools do sacrifice options in the name of providing a cleaner UI, but I think that Miro successfully manages to give me all the tools I need without ever feeling complex or overwhelming.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing comes to my mind. I am pretty satisfied with all that Miro offers, haven't had any significant issues
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro to make mind maps and discuss problem spaces with my colleagues. In terms of benefits, it allowed me to collaborate with colleagues located in various areas of the world, successfully discuss topics with the help of visuals and diagrams, and create a shared space where we can all have the complete picture of the areas we follow.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is a great and flexible tool for collaboration, mind mapping, brainstorming, and everything that requires being visual and collaborative.
One for all board
What do you like best about the product?
There are a lot of things:
1. The pre-existing templates remove the hassle of making something from scratch.
2. Very easy to build architecture diagrams and workflow. You get a lot of options to choose whether a simple box, curved box, or note.
3. Notes can be added to the board which helps a lot to keep things clean.
4. You can add a comment to the board at places where you want. This helps in remembering things as well as putting questions on others' boards.
5. You can collaborate on a board with your peers very easily. This comes out to be very useful in meetings and team-building efforts.
6. There are multiple colors and opacity-based palettes which help in keeping the board hygienic and less clumsy.
7. You can share the board directly with a specific person or a group of people which is very useful especially when you are asked after your presentations.
8. You get the status of your board in case someone modified it. You get the email as well.
9. A lot of designing tools like borders, text styling, and many others like that.
