Very useful tool
What do you like best about the product?
Integration with Teams, plenty of templates and ways in which to customise the layout. Embedding documents, webpages and media.
What do you dislike about the product?
Embedded documents do not always load quickly so browsing PDFs can be time-consuming. Miro is a useful way to group files etc, but not as an easy to access repository.
Diagrams can quickly become dominated by graphics rather than information; diagrams such as mindmaps/concept maps are not always efficent in use of space. When working in a collaborative environment it is easy for boards to become cluttered e.g. post-its of different colours, sizes and fonts (a manner to restrict which shapes are available in a shared board would be useful)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Used for group work preparation e.g. to group, align and prioritise document resources (This works better visually than a shared directory)
Used in group discussions - gives all participants an opportunity to have an input (unlike face to face meetings where it is possible for 1 or 2 people to dominate discussion)

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Prepare a layout for all board users to adhere to.
Be firm about which shapes/templates can be used (e.g. post-its or comments) by users of a shared board.

Miro enhances our brainstorming and planning workflow in a great and collaborative way.
What do you like best about the product?
The fluent collaboration and great templates speed up our creative and strategic processes/meetings. The interface is clean and easy to use, with no tutorial needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
We use Miro on a Samsung Flip 2, unfortunately some menus are not visible (e.g., the bottom left menu bar with presentation mode).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We like to keep working creatively on a whiteboard. Due to home office, this is often impossible as a whole team. Miro helps us to keep up our processes with employees abroad. Of course, we can work way more flexibly and creatively with Miro in contrast to an analog whiteboard.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We've tried several other online collaboration tools, but none met the stability, ease of use, and scope of functions.
Single solution that helps to draft your product ideas digitally
What do you like best about the product?
1. Onboarding - Choosing a template related to the idea.
2. Mind Mapping is an excellent feature that helps to quickly sketch the user flow on the chart.
3. 3rd party integrations with other products like Notion and Monday.com.

What do you dislike about the product?
1. When multiple people are working on one common template, the template gets stuck and lags.
2. Few plugins like Figma don't work at all.
3. No option to create your own templates.
4. No enough fonts/styles for personalized work.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Miro, we are able to find agility in our decision-making and thought processes. The benefits are we can now chalk our ideas and portray all the user flows digitally that could be validated by the peers instantly and comment on it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are struggling to maintain a documented process of your thoughts/ideas, choose Miro to simplify the documenting and keep all your documents at one site.
Miro in Engineering classes
What do you like best about the product?
Infinite whiteboard, easy to use, elegant, highly interactive for students, compatible with groups and academic communities, multiplatform
I have used it for more than two years now, and It is a marvelous tool for subjects like economics, programming, history, etc.
Why use a traditional whiteboard if you can save that time with an infinite board for your whole semester?

What do you dislike about the product?
the three board limit for the free version limits projects for students
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Changing from a traditional class to a distance education model in only two days, I needed a big white board, easy to use, and the chance to design every class easily with multimedia references and broadcasting.
And each student can collaborate in seconds!

Compare all the available options, get all the info you can. If you are using zoom or meets, you know those tools and maybe a few others, so make your checklist and compare, you will find the best choice

My go-to Digital Collaboration Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is a simple, intuitive, and visually engaging software that makes working on a screen enjoyable. While the templates are great, I often use the software for affinity and mind mapping. The simplicity in connecting elements with lines is my favorite feature. It helps me show concepts as they evolve and develop a functional hierarchy. When working on live documents with teammembers, the voting and timing features also work great and it's easy to get around within the document.
What do you dislike about the product?
I want more options for coloring and working with sticky notes. When working with user data, I often color code each participant by color, but there are not enough colors for all the participants, which leads to many problems. Sometimes I will turn over to text boxes, but because they do not auto-resize, it is annoying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am working on analyzing user interview data. I bring interview notes into Miro and afinitize them to draw insights through a multi-staged process of sentiment evaluation, topic arrangement, and jobs to be done. These categories are combined to craft insights from each section of the research. The benefit is quick and easy manipulation of the data. For me, the best part is simply copying/pasting the WIP data into a new section to affinitize; this enables a traceable history of the data - something that physical notes are unable to do
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out! I have used both Miro and Mural, and I easily prefer Miro because it feels more polished
Fun and easy collaborative online whiteboard
What do you like best about the product?
Miro feels like a fun environment that's easy to pick up and use and collaborate with other people.
It has a free plan that can be enough for some needs, but the paid plans are interesting too.

What do you dislike about the product?
More "complicated" features have been added to the tool in recent years, slowly making the interface slightly more "intimidating".
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I love MIro for :
- Sales / Marketing process mapping for pipeline building or CRM/software configuration
- Building and mapping marketing funnels or automations before I put them in the final software
- Brainstorming and organizing ideas
- Various workshops with clients

Excellent visual thinking tool
What do you like best about the product?
The app is super efficient at putting my thoughts to "paper". I can make sticky notes boards and make them into a deck of slides quickly. It gives me freedom in organizing and at the same time it aids to perform specific "thought process" with beautiful visual templates (i.e. Retro, decision boards, mind maps, etc.)
The feature that drove me to it is importing real sticky notes by simply taking a picture. I can work both on paper and digitally.
The app is VERY fast on Mac (slightly slower on windows, but acceptable)
It comes full to the brim with beautiful templates and a ton of resources to get the most out of it. Most of the templates are self explanatory and easy to use. I have learned more than I anticipated just looking at those templates.
Another selling point was the pricing model - I went with "consultant" plan because I share the boards occasionally (for specific task) with different groups of people. It is both affordable and fairly priced.

What do you dislike about the product?
The windows app could be faster. Also, general windows experience is less than ideal - especially scrolling, but this might be specific to the operating system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it to brainstorm and collect thoughts visually. I have performed retros, brainstorming sessions and I keep my thought-maps in it.
The app is fast and unobtrusive - and that is the killer feature for me.
No. 2 are the templates for other processes - one can learn a lot by reviewing them

A fantastic tool for cross functional team collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
To me, I find the different templates of MIRO to be very valuable because, depending on the context of my discussions with my team members, I can select the desired template and drive my conversation. For example, it has been beneficial to work on a feature prioritization exercise where I have used the feature map template. Another example is to create a product backlog, and a user story map where MIRO boards have been very productive to use in the meetings and obtain feedback immediately.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice if we had more customer journey map templates to select as the ones currently available do not have a lot of swimlanes focusing on technology considerations, opportunities for improvements which are great to have.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MIRO has helped identify gaps when analyzing the current state and future state for product requirements and the gap analysis brainstorming done using MIRO has been very insightful to the business and technical teams in deciding business improvement areas, technical roadblocks, and both product and process efficiency.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If your looking to collaborate and engage every team member in the most effective and productive way, MIRO is the place to get started!
Virtual meetings and in person meetings can become more fun using MIRO :) !!!

Great tool to facilitate team work
What do you like best about the product?
I'm an independent consultant, and I have used Miro to facilitate workshops and meetings with the teams that I work with. It has made collaboration much easier by allowing us all to work together in real time, and have a record to come back to in order to better track our learning and progress.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it can be challenging to get team members up to speed quickly who haven't used Miro before and might be less technologically savvy. However, I find that once they get it, it becomes relatively easy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has been a helpful way to collaborate in our current virtual environment. Although it doesn't replace in-person workshops and meetings, it seems to be the next-best thing. So grateful for this tool!
Greatest tool for brainstorming and solving problems
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy the templates and Miroverse. I'm also glad you have shortcuts. Finally, just the quality of content you put out is very helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish I could set a default font. But to be honest, I really can't think of any dislikes yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm a product manager, so it's been extremely helpful for meetings, user journeys, and brainstorming ideas. Miro is my new notebook. All our ideas, begin here.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I've enjoyed the collaboration and presentation tools, ease of use, and integration with Confluence. If you're doing product management, you need to be using Miro.
