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.

What do you dislike about the product?
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.
Great collaboration tool!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ability to create notes, ideas, collect and arrange photos and files all in 1 place while collaborating with my teammates, especially during these semi-remote times of COVID.
What do you dislike about the product?
No custom color options for sticky notes
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
If anything, it's solved the challenge of multiple people being in different locations who need to collaborate together.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is an easy-to-use and reasonably priced collaboration tool for many uses.
It's been an incredible asset for my team and me to ideate intelligently and effectively!

Amazing space to get stuff done
What do you like best about the product?
I like how endless it is, and you can keep going and going with canvas after canvas and send links to a particular canvas. It's super intuitive too. Canvases and features are essential and valuable, especially the Post and flow charts. What I dislike about it is the arrows when you join two boxes together, the arrow is too thin to see, and you should be able to change the thickness of it.
What do you dislike about the product?
I mentioned the arrows above and changing thickness. Another minor annoying thing that I would love a fix for is if you import ten images, and then you want to frame them (create a frame feature) you have to do it individually. So now what you have is the ability to place thirty or forty jpgs onto a single canvas and then outline them or frame them some way. This is currently not how it's achieved though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Given the fact that we operate our teams and work in a pandemic it has been an essential space for me to collect my thoughts and progress on a project. The feature that most benefits me is that Miro is one place to keep track of everything. This includes research like notes and things people say, the process of the design, capturing the collaborative comments from others on the team, comments essential to building good products and make team building more inclusive whilst working remotely.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
So to advise anyone to use Miro, I would ask What do I need it for? Will others use it? Will it be adopted into the team as an essential tool for the team and the customer? Will everyone make use of it? I think that it is a valuable tool for the type of projects that I work on and that you probably would find great value in it too.
The perfect tool for a really SMART working
What do you like best about the product?
The feature I like the most about Miro is the ability to create boards like pieces of paper and share them instantly with all my colleagues.
In a scattered world dependent on smart-working, I find very much value in share notes with my team in a creative space such as a Miro board.
The creativity is the second aspect I like the most in Miro: there is virtually no impossible thing in Miro, thanks to the choice of tools.

The creativity is the second aspect I like the most in Miro: there is virtually no impossible thing in Miro, thanks to the choice of tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are only a few things that I dislike: in particular they mostly regard UX.
For examples, adapting the text to a sticky note is usually not very simple, and I generally incline for square shapes.
Also, locking contents and frames is sometime tricky, expecially when many users work on the same board, leading to minor inconveniences when people accidentally move frames.
Another feature that is sometimes a little annoying, is when I enter a board and it tells me all the changes that my team has done: after that I must click on every changed content to remove the notification.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I must share information with my colleagues, for which I usually would need paper (schemas, graphs, brainstorming, etc.), and I cannot simply use shared documents.
Also, I may need to use some template in order to achieve easier and quicker some result.

Miro is very simple and helpful: after months of smart working without a tool such that, where productivity dropped due to difficulty in communication, we finally had a place where communicating easily.
The most intuitive online whiteboarding tool
What do you like best about the product?
We're a creative company that has been using Miro for over a year now. Whereas in the past we might have filled a "war room" with Post-Its, whiteboard sessions, and printouts, now we are able to capture and collaborate all our work in one place. The templates are super helpful from respected sources. Most importantly, we've been able to get all our team members working in one place, including external clients and partners. We won't be going back to a messy "war room" after this!
We've tried other whiteboard tools like Mural, but Miro has a more intuitive interface and better feature set.
We've tried other whiteboard tools like Mural, but Miro has a more intuitive interface and better feature set.
What do you dislike about the product?
We use the boards so heavily, sometimes if we copy paste many high-res images and have many people (dozens) on at once, it can get a bit laggy... but we're power-users, so that's an extreme situation.
Also, not a dislike, but a feature request - it would be useful to have multiple options to export or archive the boards, ie. one page per frame, or, the entire board as a single PDF, or other options... As we use these boards routinely, we will need a way to share and archive them in our company file management (outside of the Miro platform).

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a tech consultancy, and so we use the boards to organize projects, plan tasks, brainstorm ideas, host workshops with clients, capture research findings, and present our recommendations. We practically live on Miro!
Perfect for people who have to deal with lots of ambiguity in their work
What do you like best about the product?
I like how I can store everything on just a single page. I have been using this product for 6 months now, and I would have made 1000 mind maps. Still, miro makes it so easy to search for something specific. I can connect my ideas very seamlessly by connecting mindmaps. I like this product so much that I have started using it in my personal work. Great job Miro
What do you dislike about the product?
There's is not enough. But I would like if Miro can introduce a back-button functionality in search. This really helps when I want to put two or more objects side by side.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To put it simply, I can put all my ideas in one place. Google docs etc. are great for text storage. But Miro allows me to do more than that in a very easy manner.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out, it's great for unstructured storage of data and brainstorming.
great for process facilitators
What do you like best about the product?
Having spent a lot of time in front of a whiteboard with teams of people I've found Miro to be the best substitute for when you can have people in the same room together. Like with anything new it takes a bit of work to get people comfortable and confident to express themselves but once the ice is broken Miro helps open up creativity and dialogue.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing. The cost is high. The free version is great but lacks video conferencing so you need to be ready to be quite hands-on and to have a patient and tech literate team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ideation and Consensus based decision making.
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." (Clarke's third law)
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is a tool that genuinely feels like magic at times. I was addicted to whiteboards in team rooms, and the pandemic lockdown put a terrible strain on me as a project leader. Working with an international team on a brand new project that required a lot of conversation and analysis was already challenging. All scattered in different places made the task impossible.
Miro was a lifesaver, the only tool that allowed me a real-time, totally destructured collaboration as I was on a whiteboard. Plus, it's permanent. Plus, it's boundless. Plus, it has terribly advanced features. Plus, it's evolving to a pace I cant' bear with.
Soon Miro became my sole tool for a lot of different activities, from modeling the interface wireframes of the application we are building, to share thoughts with the team, to arrange mindmaps... we are now using it far and wide for strategic workshops, analysis, modeling and whatever.
As a web-developer, I'm so impressed by the technical quality, performance, UI design and ergonomics of Miro that I can't get how can it be working so well.

What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing model. It's a bit difficult to get and I think it can be better thought out to support dynamic, frequently changing business teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I got back the ability to work as in the same room, even remotely.
I also got additional, unexpected benefits like persistence of information, endless whiteboard real estate, convenient side-tools (timers, voting, etc).
Miro allowed me to got rid of many different tools I needed to achieve my goals. Now everything is in one place.
