Excellent White Boarding and Collaboration Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Miro makes it easy to whiteboard over the internet. Everyone in my office has been working from home due to COVID restrictions, and we have been looking for tools to help us collaborate online. Miro is the best tool we've found so far. We use it for brainstorming sessions, design review sessions, product interviews, and more. This tool has a lot of functionality the more I dig into it. It can be as straightforward or as complex as you want. It's effortless to join a new Miro session and start working together right away.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike how it forces me to walk through the tool every time I start a new session. Lately, whenever I join a Miro session, there's a host of popups and unskippable walk through guides I must look at before I can start using the product. I am not sure what triggers these, but they can be very annoying and get in the way of quickly dropping in a collab session.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Whiteboarding over the internet, collaborating with coworkers online, brainstorming sessions, interviews, and more.
Real-time collaboration powerhouse for strategy sessions and client engagement
What do you like best about the product?
Miro has transformed how our team collaborates, especially for stand-up meetings and client engagement sessions where real-time collaboration is essential. Everyone can contribute simultaneously, which makes brainstorming and strategy sessions incredibly productive. The prototyping feature is particularly handy for our design work. What really sets Miro apart is the comprehensive engagement toolkit - features like the timer, voting system, and presentation mode keep sessions focused and interactive. It's packed with everything you need to run effective collaborative workshops, whether your team is distributed across different locations or working together in the same room. The ability to access and continue working on boards from anywhere means our ideas and progress are never locked to a physical location.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some features could be fleshed out more. The document functionality would benefit from more formatting options and proper table support. While the grid function in Frames is useful, it can sometimes mess up the positioning of elements when toggled. Overall these are minor issues compared to what the platform offers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro solves the challenge of collaborating over long distances during high-intensity brain activity like strategy mapping, customer journey workshops, and planning sessions. Even when teams are in the same room, having an interactive digital board is incredibly handy - you don't need to drag whiteboards around or worry about photographing notes before they're erased. The ability to access any whiteboard session from anywhere, at any time, means our strategic work is always available for reference and iteration. It's become our central hub for visual thinking, from sales funnels and customer journeys to production processes and organisational charts. Everything stays in one logical, visualised place that the whole team can access and contribute to.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It will be hard when thinking about what to put on the Miro board initially. I would recommend starting with the simplest chart as Sales Funnel or Customer Journey of a particular product.
I've been recommending Miro to all my friends who want to do collaborative work
What do you like best about the product?
The versatility of the tools and the power of its tools. We can do a lot with Miro and the tools are very robust. With a clean interface and a really easy-to-use UX, it's the perfect tool to introduce to teams that are not yet familiar with the collaborative process.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much, really... I think what I miss is to be able to animate certain features, like buttons and stuff.. But I think that eventually it will also be possible to that in the future ;)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To be able to work remote on a project and get feedback from everyone, at the same time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is one of the BEST collaborative platforms I know. You can do a lot with Miro and I've been using it both personally a professionally.
Mirro is a great, intuitive, tool for our company to quickly collaborate.
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ability to be able to not only share my boards with others from my company but also the ability to be able to work together remotely on the same boards—amazing connectivity when it comes to working with a team to document processes or create workflows.
What do you dislike about the product?
If I have to choose something I dislike, it would be the template selection. It doesn't match the variety of template selections from Excel (not the same types, I know but just as an example). Excel tends to have whatever template I could want to use Excel for, but when it comes to Mirror, they don't always have an excellent match for something I'd like to do within Mirro.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Documenting process flows. This has been the most helpful tool I've used to document process flows and be able to share them across the company for when we are thinking of implementing changes. I've also used this Mirro to create value stream maps and address waste within processes.
Change Management facilitation
What do you like best about the product?
The versatility and user friendliness of Miro. The Miro verse is a great library that saves me tonnes of hours of preparation for complex processes. All the trainings and processes with facilitation guides makes it worth a lot more than other whiteboard tools.
The integration to a wide variety of systems such as Trello and Teams is a helpful addition.
I have ensured that Miro is used enterprise wide at my company, and we are happy with the strong encryption.

What do you dislike about the product?
The table function is lacking a lot of functionality. If it could do filtering and simultaneous changes while not moving the table around it would be a lot more useful. Coloring columns and rows to make it easier to navigate more complex tables will also help a lot.
I would like a change setting where the boards are locked for everyone else than me. Then I can always change formatting, but no one else.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Change management in hybrid projects, using Miro to engage my project teams in all the relevant change management tools I have built up.
I'm using it for creating templates to our teams on how to collaborate better.
I'm using miro to support any project I work on, solving problems using Design thinking methods.
I'm conducting Retrospectives with various teams.
I'm doing ice breakers.
And a lot more.
All of what I'm doing makes online collaboration a lot more valuable, ensuring that I always reach a strong outcome that can be shared right away.

Collaboration Tool at its finest!
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Miro allows me and a team of UX designers to collaborate in real time. We have worked on brainstorming, sorting data from research, empathy maps, and personas all in one session. The fact that Miro can allow drawing of shapes, sticky notes, text, etc all in one platform, I feel as if I am in an actual office space doing a workshop. The fact that you can do all this without being on-site is the best part.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, there is nothing I dislike about Miro. If I had to say anything, it would be to create more templates or tools to collaborate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem that I solved with Miro is allowing others to access information while I am editing. The benefits are that while we all can be whiteboarding, it will enable everyone to input information and ideas, furthermore increasing our thinking capabilities at the time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try to open yourself to utilizing it for anything even moodboards for your home design etc. The possibilities are endless
Like being in front of a whiteboard with superpowers
What do you like best about the product?
Miro offers superb flexibility to express your thoughts in any thinkable visual way. It's an "invisible" app that doesn't get in your way but seamlessly let's you collaborate on a project, in a magical, seamless experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
What can be a challenge is getting familiar with an infinite whiteboard, and what zoom level to start off on.
Also boards tends to get heavy over time and require proper cleaning hygiene, which if you don't pay attention to will grow out of control.

Remote collaboration build for visual thinkers
Miro, an incredible tool for collaboration in learning processes
What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility, one of the characteristics of a board, lies in the ability to offer multiple environments in the same space, this is something you can do with Miro. You can define what each team member sees who participates in a learning process. It allows this to be fluid and guided. Additionally, with all the templates available, you can create any type of session.
What do you dislike about the product?
For now, only the fact that after building a set of slides, being able to reuse them in other sessions (it may be because I haven't yet learned some of their features that serve for this). I think creating templates would solve it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The dynamic interaction among all participants in a session allows me to see what everyone is doing. They can exchange information among themselves and with the facilitator. I can use it to leave some kind of assignment, and they can access it whenever they are able to.
The multi-tool of collaborative software
What do you like best about the product?
If I ever have a thought that I cannot work out how to express, I know that I can start brain-dumping into Miro, and I will easily be able to rearrange and refine my thoughts into something clear and easily shareable. As a product manager, having access to so many different templates is invaluable; I am all for re-using concepts that others have found helpful, and Miro has a brilliant way to make this easy. I enjoy using Miro to work with colleagues in real-time and asynchronously; it's a very powerful tool to capture people's ideas and to enable a group of people to work through concepts together to reach a solution. I'm also a sucker for making diagrams pretty or fun so being able to search an extensive icon library or simply copy-paste images into Miro means I can do this in no time at all, and I don't feel like I am spending time on frivolous things. There are so many good things about using Miro that it's actually hard to keep this to a reasonable length! I find creating flow diagrams in Miro so intuitive, the same is true with mind maps. There is an extensive capacity for formatting in this tool, enabling me to make even complex diagrams clear and even attractive. Frames are a great way to separate information into digestible chunks while still keeping it within the same board and making it so easy to present or share with others. Exporting images in different sizes is so useful, and I have used it so many times. I have both professional and personal accounts because I find Miro invaluable in both aspects of my life. There are so many other joy-inducing features, and I can't begin to express how sad I would be if I couldn't use this product.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be very easy to create too many boards and split content across different locations, causing confusion and duplication. It is also incredibly easy to put too much content in one place which doesn't belong in one location. I think both of these issues are the same with things like wikis and filesystems as well, and it's as much about the users as it is the tool. I wish that I could add more icons into the library because I do often find that I don't quite have the one I want, but equally, if there are too many for a specific search term, then they can be hard to sort through - perhaps a different method for finding them would help.
It can be hard to tell who has added content to a board, such as post-it notes, as the tool is so collaborative that anyone can change anything. The purple highlighting to say what has changed between accesses is something that I don't find helpful generally although I do like to know who has been changing things and what they have touched, it's usually too much and makes it so that all I can see is purple, so I just turn it off. I would like there to be a better way to assign post-it notes to individuals for things like retros/workshops etc, so that you can see who created them in perpetuity.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Understanding complex user journeys, frameworks, creating product canvases, business cases, visualising roadmaps, unpicking assumptions about so many different areas of the business.
Better collaboration and communication.
Quicker resolution of challenges.

Best online collaboration tool I've used
What do you like best about the product?
Quick to set up a new board. Lots of default templates, but great flexibility to set up your own as well. It has been very straightforward to adapt our business processes to incorporate miro in our day to day tasks, agile meetings such as retrospectives and planning as well as tracking task progress on boards
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like people to be assigned default colors when joining a board as it can get a bit chaotic at first.
