A beautiful and intuitive way to co-create with co-workers
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is a straightforward and intuitive tool to use. I use it almost every day, and it's such a beautiful tool to build workflows and wireframes, have co-create sessions/workshops, gather visual references, and develop roadmaps. I love the pre-filled templates, especially the "Customer Journey Map (Timeline)", "Mindmap", "Kanban Framework" and "Product Roadmap" ones. They save you a lot of time - especially if you're not artistically gifted.
My designer teammates also love to use Miro! I love populating the abord along with my Product Designer. It replicates the feeling of writing on a whiteboard with other people (which has not happened since the beginning of the pandemic). It's an excellent tool for teams that work remotely or asynchronously.

What do you dislike about the product?
Miro can get very slow and "stucky" when you fill the board with lots of photos and heavy components. It can be tricky to share the screen in workshops and video conferences, for example.
Another downside is the cost. Miro can be very expensive if you intend to use it with your whole team. I work as a Product Manager, and only the design team (around ten people) and I have access to Miro. Even so, it's quite pricey - especially since I'm from Brazil and our local currency is significantly devalued against the dollar.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a Product Manager, I usually start my projects on a Miro board and keep adding information until it's ready to launch. It helps me to gather all the project's relevant information (doubts, hypotheses, solutions) in a single place.
I also use Confluence for documentation and Figma com wireframing.

Great flexibility and esthetics with minor performance issues
What do you like best about the product?
Strong points are an intuitive user interface, clean and pleasant visuals, and a wide variety of templates to choose from. The timer is a welcome addition, as it helps to coordinate small group work unobtrusively. Frames allow for quick and easy management when exporting to pdf. My overall impression is very positive: things that previously required switching between dedicated tools can now be integrated into one environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of my workshop participant complain about the board getting cloggy at times - as far as I can tell, this is more likely in case of larger boards and weaker internet connections.
There are also some minor interface issues: there is always someone who finds it hard to edit pre-prepared post-its (maybe switching from 'double click to edit' to 'click to edit' would help?), voting could be simpler and more intuitive. The drawing tool is adequate, but fairly barren compared to the variety offered for some apps.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro provides an effective environment for facilitating online workshops and creative problem-solving sessions. Its main benefit for me is the ability to send people off to explore issues, brainstorm solutions etc. in smaller groups, and then seamlessly move into clustering the results of the group work. This cuts the longish and often tiring group-by- group presentation and the need to integrate various documents they've been working on.
My favourite design tool. Ever.
What do you like best about the product?
MIRO is a fast, capable and easy to use.
I started using MIRO to work with a colleague on our desing projects when the pandemic started and will neve rgo back to someof my old tools. I design hardware and software usign a LOT of differnt tools but MIRO is the dynamic tool I need to collaborate and share DESIGN THINKING. It combines dynamic, collaboartive whiteboarding (and video, voice, and chat!) and comes with built in tempaltes that support a lot of fundamnetal Desing Thikign, Strategyzer, and UX technoques. It's great for presenting too. The paltform is desinged to scale for teams and has great user and account managment tools. Guests can be invited to any baord for comment dn even to edit on the Consultant plan.
You can do just about anything in MIRO. And there are lots of post-it notes.

What do you dislike about the product?
Support is generally pretty good.
Some of my boards do not save to PDF correctly due to size.
I'd love to see some more robust hyperlinking between boards and the introduction of reusable components to speed wireframing.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Primairly we use MIRO to capture and communicate our THINKING.
Using boards for this has mad eit easy to work remotely with others and to get team input on projects.

The tool for almost everything
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it is a tool that is constantly evolving around the users' needs. Ready-to-use templates are a great starting point in every beginning. I also like that it foresees my needs; I often found uses or templates of things I didn't imagine and is excellent to have that! I find myself using Miro more and more oftently. I also love the fact that it doesnt have the barrier of needing a login for every user, makes it easier to share in a big scale.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not everyone is familiar with this tool, it is a barrier for some no-tech people, but I think it is growing in many different aspects. I often find myself adding some exercises so nonfamiliar users can feel more comfortable before beginning a session, which consumes the sessions' time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is easy to build for many different possibilities/sessions. It saves me time organizing my work in different touchpoints. I am using it from the beginning of a project which helps me to plan. I use it during a project, which allows me to execute within the tool, by myself, or in collaboration with peers. And also, it helps me at the end of a project to present results and share with others the work done. It is more comfortable having all the processes in only one tool instead of having many documents and links to different repositories and platforms.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Search all the possibilities. There is help and ideas, and templates for almost everything.
Best collaboration tool - Hands down
What do you like best about the product?
Pre-built templates - They had great templates to begin with. Once they opened up the templates for others to add their frameworks, the value became infinite.
Real-time, no lag - I've had over 20 people in a workshop with lots of elements on the board. Didn't experience any lag issues.
Infinite board - Other canvas-type tools force you to define the boards of your board, so you constantly have to make your canvas bigger, which interrupts your flow.
Licensing - Pay for licenses only for users who create boards. You can share and collaborate with people who just need to add to the one workshop you're inviting them to.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the templates have little quirks to them, like the storymapping tool. I wish the header would stick so as you move down the map you can still see your header. But these issues are SO minor, the value out weighs the quirks.
I also wish they had better iPad Pro drawing support. It's a bit clunky.
Tables are not that easy to use either but it's a relatively new feature.
I wish it would open my desktop app when I click a Miro link instead of opening in my browser

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Whiteboarding. Now that we're all remote, it's hard to run collaboration workshops. It's still much more fun and insightful using physical stickies because you can zoom out and see it all but this is as good as it gets for digital.
We've been able to run big ideation sessions with people across the org.

Absolutely. I can't think of a better tool out there and I've tried a lot of them.
Miro provides Creative Teams collaboration and content creation from ANYWHERE
What do you like best about the product?
I love seeing all my colleagues and team members in one place. Watching our tiny "cursors" interacting virtually feels almost more natural than a Zoom meeting! We can see each other pointing, gesturing, and moving around as we review each other's ideas. As a creative agency, we use Miro to develop our bar-napkin-seeds-of-an-idea into full-blown 360-degree marketing campaigns for our clients. Copywriters, art directors, producers, project managers, and digital team members can all interact in one place, and we can refer back to the whole history of the job with one high-level glance.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's splitting hairs at this point, but I wish we could somehow combine Zoom and Miro into one teleconferencing experience, as we still require both to have a collaboration session. We don't use Zoom for screen-sharing since everyone is inside the Miro board at once, but we do need it for the actual call. I would love to see Miro further develop its platform to support meetings, calls, and teleconferencing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving the problems at which the pandemic has hurled our agency (along with countless others), which is the loss of the in-person collaboration experience. Whiteboarding with content strategy and customer experience teams has also been "saved" by Miro; as I can recall, in the early days of working-from-home, we attempted to use Zoom's whiteboard feature, which pales by comparison. It's also been an incredible tool for meeting with our clients and having workshops with them, whereas before the pandemic, we would be traveling for in-person sessions across the country, wherever our clients were based.
The perfect place for collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Miro focuses on collaboration. It has a very low barrier for first time users meaning workshops can be focused on the task in hand, not explaining the software.
What do you dislike about the product?
The way you set access rights to the boards could be improved. I've created some boards that I assumed were private that were accessible by others. Some colleagues have had similar incidents. It is possible to make boards private but the UX isn't designed as well as the rest of the Miro product
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro as a space to help me think about problems. It's a great way to connect thoughts that I wouldn't be able to do on a spreadsheet, text file or presentation software. I also use it as a tool to run workshops and collaborate with colleagues.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great way to both collaborate and think about complicated problems.
Miro Collaborative Whiteboard Wall
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is simple and easy to use. You can develop your own templates or use built-in or other users templates. These can be adapted and changed to suit your own needs.
The excellent point that you can upload documents and ensure everyone is on the same page! No working on the wrong revision etc...they can add notes and turn through the pages this is awesome!

What do you dislike about the product?
Although simple you have to remember to lock each element you create, or you will drag it around the whiteboard as you navigate...you soon get used to this though. Would be good to freeze the panes for an excel type of table and to help with dates in columns etc. Also, a deeper colour option for the cards just like the sticky notes because the colours can be differentiated so well when you are zoomed out for a wider view.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaborative Planning - Looking forward 6-12 weeks to schedule work & planning what's needed & when. I use tags to highlight concerns or issues and also stages of the same process as the colours are visible when you are zoomed out. Benefits are improved communications and planning. Identifying potential problems sooner and solving them before they are an issue.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great tool to use for teams and can really make you work together as one. Takes time to change the way you work which this software really helps.
Look around and use the available templates in Miro and online. Plus the YouTube videos etc. Very useful and helpful.

Agile made possable diring pandemic.
What do you like best about the product?
We are a tight-knit Group and moving almost 200 people out of the office for safety reasons was my first priority. Once we were semi-settled now how do you stay in a constant improvement groove that the agile framework has done for our group. Well, I stumbled upon Miro and after using it just a little I could see the business plan and how things were well thought out. so what I like
1. you can do quick and dirty mock-ups while collaborating with many people we have even swarmed problems where each person or group puts ideas on the same board with a time box.
2. You can do much more detailed Mind maps and funnels really helping to get your point across.
The bottom line is you can be really bad with it and it's simple enough you can get your point across or you can learn to use it really well and do rockstar presentations and collaborations and anything in between.

I would like to have a 1 on 1 tutor to make me a rock star especially for some of my people who something like this just looks intimidating because you can.do so much
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's the new remote office Foe so much I keep finding new ways to use it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just try it for an honest hour.
The tool that has it all and enables our remote team
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can basically do anything on Miro! They both have helpful templates or let you design a solution that works for anything you're trying to achieve. We run our retrospectives remotely using Miro, which allows the team to be creative and engaged in their responses and use words, emojis or even pictures to express their feelings on the sprint. We also keep our product roadmap there, so it's easy to keep up-to-date and accessible by anyone quickly using a simple link.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the endless amount of possibilities makes it hard to narrow down what is the best template or solution for what you're trying to achieve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
During Covid, we're a usually co-located Agile squad of developers, designers and testers. We've been able to run most of our usual ceremonies using Miro, and it has helped keep everyone engaged and connected. The squad have fun expressing themselves using emojis, drawings and pictures during our retrospectives.
