Excellent tool for digital collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Miro lets you collaborate with your coworkers in a very engaging manner. It enables you to create engaging and beautiful tables and charts. Further, it has a host of templates you can choose from. I use the user story map template very often. It is easy to use and can be used for a lot of different reasons.
What do you dislike about the product?
The desktop app could do with some improvements, sometimes copying and pasting items across boards hasn't worked as smoothly. Further, pricing seems a bit on the expensive side.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use miro for various reasons: 1) To plan software projects 2) To create roadmaps 3) To create user story maps 4) To create charts and visualize data. Further, I often need input from various people who are not always with me. With a remote team, planning becomes intuitive with Miro
Great for every step of systems development and maintenance - from ideation to documentation!
What do you like best about the product?
I used it (still do, but slightly less often now) for most of my engineering needs - from product or feature design to documentation-grade graphics.
- it provides an excellent balance between simplicity and feature-richness. In team brain-stormings, I can build out the complete logic/architecture of the new project/feature or a mind-map in a real-time collaborative setting
- I'm not a UI design guru, but can drop a few boxes together into a convenient visualisation in Miro before the product designers go and disappear for a week in Figma :)
- took me a while to change the mindset from academic powerpoint, but once I did, presenting boards in Miro live started being very intuitive and effective!

What do you dislike about the product?
Not much, some aspects of the formatting do not seem optimal to me (margins in text boxes, text size autoscaling, things like that) but otherwise nothing to complain about.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
See what I like best section. But to reiterate:
- service diagram drafts
- brainstorming mindmaps
- documentation-grade diagrams once fully worked out
- quick UI sketches
- all of that in collab
- I'm not a huge fan, but my colleagues love the integration with JIRA a lot!

Most powerful and friendly tool for distributed teams
What do you like best about the product?
- Intuitive interface and exceptional flexibility — you can easily visualize every flow and process in a few minutes
- Team collaboration tools suitable for almost every agenda: roadmap presentation, UX workshop, async collaboration on research mapping, engineering brainstorm, retrospective session, etc.
- An excellent set of ready-made templates, including well-known and popular cases and frameworks + Miroverse library with relevant content from other Miro fans
- Continuous development of functionality and captivating (but not intrusive) update messages
- Annual conference that touches on important topics such as cross-team communication in the era of distributed teams and products — always inspirational

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes we need to divide the participants into groups and provide each group a separate "room" — a dedicated area on a common board — where they could work with content separately from others. The only function I'm missing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In fact, every process within the product cycle — creating and maintaning roadmaps, product discovery techniques, documentation and concepts visualization, regular agile meetings and many more — has sparkled with new colors since we started using Miro. It's extremely efficient tool nowadays since we all had to switch to the new work culture where we combine in-house and remote work mode, syncronous and asyncronous communication, transparency and flexibility.
Miro had lifted my Polish language classes to the next level!
What do you like best about the product?
I am a teacher who owns and run Into Language, a small school providing Polish language classes to foreigners. Miro has helped me enormously to deliver the best possible online classes when, due to pandemic, we could no longer conduct those lessons in person. There are a lot of things I really like. It's super easy to use, both for teachers to prepare and run classes, and for students to connect, learn and even do homework, all in one place. We do not need to spend too much time on training and onboarding. We do not need to use another tool for video calls. We can add various multimedia (photos, videos, pdfs) which makes our lessons more interesting and interactive, plus allow us to avoid disruptive tap/window hopping during the class. It simply makes our school look more professional and impress our students and clients (even companies from IT sector). Thanks, Miro team :)
What do you dislike about the product?
Performance sometimes could be better. But is still very good :)

Described above! ^^^
Endless flexibility!
What do you like best about the product?
With Miro, anything is possible. The possibilities are endless. There's a truckload of templates to use for different types of sessions, and it's really easy to set up your own board for your sessions if you don't find a template that fits. The simplicity of inviting people to the boards, and how easy the basics is to understand for participants makes this tool very rewarding to use. Visualization is a powerful concept and with Miro I get all possibilities I could ever imagine.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's still a bit too easy for a participant to move locked frames and structures.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaborative workshops.
Miro feels like the next step we need on our 21th century way of working.
What do you like best about the product?
What feels best about miro is that I can have a wide range of work I can do. During day time, I can facilitate workshops with colleagues, run design reviews, etc. But at night I can sit down and use miro for my illustration projects and use the platform in a whole different way.
What do you dislike about the product?
What troubles me about miro is performance. I've seen miro used by 300 people in a row, the sight wasn't pretty, and I can forgive that. But I've also seen it used by a team of five, and we all complained about the performace as well. When doing personal projects, I use a lot of images uploaded to miro, and I usually start the desktop app some twenty minutes before I get to work so that I can avoid any issues loading the photos.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My team started using miro as soon as the pandemic began. We used to write our workshops and group dynamics on a post-it and paste them on our meeting room glass walls; good times, then, but it was slow work, and a lot of information went missing. Miro began as a tool to replace the physical workshop experience but stayed due to how easier it made our lives.
As to my personal illustration projects, I use miro as a reference wall. It's a place where I bring each and every picture (usually from Pinterest) I'll be using on my next drawing. When it's freelance work, I can also bring my contractor to a miro board and facilitate a workshop with them--get them to review or co-create something alongside me.

Go on and try for yourself and your team; you won't be disappointed.
Best Collaboration tool and a Virtual Classroom
What do you like best about the product?
As an independent trainer and consultant, I use Miro as a virtual classroom. I can hang a lot of virtual posters, I can whiteboard concepts just the way I would do it in a physical setting. Every experience I use to provide for my students in person, except for food and caffeine I can provide with Miro.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes a lot of time to load up. When you are using it with Single Signon in the organization, I have to type in the entire user name before it redirects me to the log-in page for my organization's single sign-on.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro for teaching and helping my students collaborate. I also use Miro as a tool for team launches, icebreakers, and design thinking workshops. When I am learning, I create Mind maps to keep track of my learning. I am thinking of launching an App, I am already starting to use it for Storyboarding.
A game changer for online meetings
What do you like best about the product?
I love how it helps me set team goals and make spoken communication visual in a multilingual team.
We use it to plan projects. I also love it's endless and easy to navigate.
Lot's of templates help me to represent my thoughts in a nice looking way as I am no designer :)
Timer plugin and following people on the board are very efficient in meetings. Also, it's colorful, so people are not bored!

What do you dislike about the product?
Not really a downside, but sometimes it's challenging for some people to start using it straight away and there are lots of onboardings, but the features are so wast, it's impossible to explain in 5 minutes
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping everyone on the same page and focused on a goal

Every designers must have tool
What do you like best about the product?
how easy it is to learn and use, most of the software I come across takes a lot of time to grab, but since miro provides easily accessible resources to learn it took me no time to get started, plus I really enjoy their templates.
What do you dislike about the product?
nothing actually, it has made my life easier as a designer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
currently, as a UX designer, I am using miro for mind mapping, it is really easy to collect all the ideas in one place, add links and comments, plus so easy to share them with anyone.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
the only tool you need to document your research, do mind mapping, user journeys, etc, will make your life easier as a designer.
