Miro rocks!
What do you like best about the product?
Not an exaggeration, Miro has changed the way I work over the course of the last three years (Realtime, what!?). Our team has the ability to plan and develop ideas together and with customers at an increased pace. I am the one who introduced Miro to my team, so thank you for making me look awesome. :-)
What do you dislike about the product?
When we share a board with someone who does not have an account, they always request an account from one of the admins. It would be nicer if it was easier to view things as a guest.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am an eLearning developer, and I use Miro heavily in the discovery and development phase of building a project. This makes sure that everyone is on the same page with the scope and delivery of the project. Then everything I create can easily transition to JIRA in the form of issues that are worked on in a sprint.
We also use it as an organization to model workflows and processes.

What do you dislike about the product?
Export in Excel just export content in a list and these are not in sequence due to usual Boards structures, some better options should be there.
Linking with Jira should be easy, we faced issues while we were doing it.
Shouldn't be an open URL like www.miro.com/#####, a server to be hosted in the data center where the client is big. For example it should be www.companyname.com/####
Camera/ Video / Meeting enablement would provide this tool and end to end coverage for the overall virtual office experience

I recommend that do purchase a meeting tool as currently Miro do not have build in virtual meeting capability. We used it with Webex and it works fine.
Also for us multiple downloading of files wasnt there. plz check with support.
Also check if there is an upload limit.

A great collaboration tool to bring in all stakeholders on thematic roadmaps and business ideas
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to work on ideas and whiteboard with your teammates. It helps align the group on the different areas of focus and the results of a brainstorming session. It's a great live collaboration tool where it is easy for users to see where their teammates are on the board and to understand their frame of thought.
Because it's a visual approach to brainstorming and things are draggable, it is so easy to take ideas that are brought up in the meetings and prioritize them based on the business objectives. This feature is essential as it allows all team members to feel that active listening is happening in the discussion, and ideas don't just disappear off the map when they are brought up.
Another thing I love is that I can integrate Miro to my Confluence write ups so it can also be included in all its glory on the technical specs.

What do you dislike about the product?
Not something I dislike, but the viewing format is best on a very large screen especially when the team is discussing a large mindmap or something of that nature. When viewing on a smaller screen or sometimes a mobile device, seeing it and contributing to the discussion is hard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Miro to communicate logic and user flows; it has been great in getting other teams' feedback on an artifact from the brainstorming/alignment meetings to make sure it best represents how the group feels.
Now that we are virtual and in-person whiteboard meetings are impossible, Miro has been critical in accelerating the adoption process to an all-virtual work-from-home environment. By using this tool as the primary document or artifact of the brainstorming sessions, it focuses the discussion on the topics on the board and keeps the debate on topic.

Spend some time with the templates to understand the full scope of possibilities with the platform.
Simple, fun, complex, perfect!
What do you like best about the product?
I stumbled across Miro when on a course and found it really easy to pick up and use. Some of the more complex features are fantastic but don't need to be utilised to enjoy Miro fully if you don't want/need to use them. It makes collaboration a breeze and the power of the tool to allow multiple users in the same space to edit is really impressive. It's quite therapeutic watching lots of cursors flying around the screen!
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much at all. I didn't like the table creation aspect, but low and behold the next update included paste from Excel capabilities! Perhaps the moving around of boards and permissions could be a bit better, as it does feel a little clunky at times, but that's it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it in the business to gather ideas as a group and on my own. We've got entire projects sitting in Miro using the frames function, and it's a really quick and easy way to keep everyone updated. Visually seeing the stages of a project helps so much more than just seeing it in a chart.
Our favourite tool!
What do you like best about the product?
I like how it allows our team to work collaboratively and in a very agile way. It is very versatile and we can use it in 1000 different ways and for many purposes, from running workshops to planning, showcasing presentations to designing prototypes, etc.
I love the integration with other tools such as the icons library, images, and the facilitation support functionalities such as the timer, always very helpful during our workshops.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are some functionalities that we are used to in other programs, such as creating build-ups for presentations, that it doesn't allow us to do yet, and so we need to find a workaround.
The way how folders are organized, with very big projects, it isn't easy to find the right board; therefore, it would be great to have a system with sub-folders.
We usually don't use the video camera functionality as sometimes it doesn't work so well and we don't see each other, or the camera stays on top of the content. We prefer having another video call application on another screen where we can see everyone and at the same time have the Miro board full space.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're able to work completely remote with our team and it has allowed us to reach people from all around the world to participate in workshops together.
It makes design research easier as all the activity happens in the Miro board directly and the synthesis is much faster, the production of visuals and project outcomes is also much more agile.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would definetely use the Frames functionality, it really helps to keep your content organised and to navigate easily through the board.
Fast, reliable and self-explanatory
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing for teachers is the free upgrade. School isn't just about teaching; it's about project management. In Miro, you can work on development projects with all colleagues in a relaxed manner without losing sight of the goal! The visualization helps everyone involved to design complex projects "simply."
What do you dislike about the product?
I also work in teacher training and present Miro there as a perfect software option. Many colleagues are "afraid" to register because they have had bad experiences with other products. To get a "look" at the product without registering would be awesome. At least for my requirements.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As mentioned above, this allows us to visualize more complex projects very well. In addition, you can directly name those responsible for the area. What software can be used in the economy because the money is it is not possible in the public service. Therefore an excellent alternative!
It's flexible
What do you like best about the product?
Freedom that does not interfere with the process of thinking.
Functional upgrading speed is fine.
Functional upgrading speed is fine.
What do you dislike about the product?
The worst thing is that you can only have two levels of board and you can't categorize the board in your project. At least 3 levels are required.I've already told Miro about this, but it hasn't improved.
As the number of items increases, the operation of the PC becomes heavier.
I'm always confused by the optimal board magnification settings.
I don't know how much magnification I should start drawing to make it easier to handle even if the picture gets bigger.
Text fields can behave strangely when filled with a lot of text.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
・ For personal work to analyze my problems
・ For remote work when analyzing research results with team members
・ Present the STORY to tell
Story presentation needs frequent zoom-in and out during the speech. I usually utilize 'prezi' as my presentation tool; however, it is only for presentation. I can use Miro as an analyzing tool, too.

Perfect Tool for communication and collaboration !
What do you like best about the product?
The Zoom in Zoom out and the space bar option.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some options can be confusing and I'd love a better Kaban tool !
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Brainstorming with our team and being able to present very easily.

Miro has been a life saver
What do you like best about the product?
As a facilitator, I'm used to creating shared visuals for my work. Switching to virtual events made that challenging, but Miro made that possible. I especially appreciate how easy & fast it is to create connectors. That is EVERYTHING.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really don't have any complaints about the program. I like everything I've tried so far. I haven't tried a lot of the collaborative tools, but will be soon.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's allowed me to do online facilitation during COVID and I love that when my session is over, my notes are done! I used to have to synthesize all my boards afterwards and it took HOURS. That saves me a ton of time which makes my projects more profitable.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely jump in. There's a bit of a learning curve but not much. I use the keystrokes as well as the mouse and I've become incredibly fast at it while facilitating live.
Miro - A Virtual whiteboard that works
What do you like best about the product?
I love the flexibility of Miro, Whether it's mapping out potential social media campaigns, collating hardware options, design feedback or just doing busines model canvas designs and software requirements Miro has the flexibility and intuitiveness that means people get it very quickly. That short learning curve but the limitless possibilities is a key benefit.
What do you dislike about the product?
Load times on very large boards can sometimes be a bit of a drag but thats really down to how much information you've put on it. A smarter loading scheduler would make this rather small annoyance disapear.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have used Miro for Software design, data wrangling, hardware options, hardware desiugn feedback, business model canvas design and iteration. The biggest benefits we have gathered is being able to gather sometimes sprawling information and easily reorganise it collaboratively. This ensures everyone is on the same page both literally and metaphorically.
