Fantastic for work with some room to grow in personal development
What do you like best about the product?
Templates so that I can quickly start a project. I like the wide-ranging business templates available so that I don't need to sit there and create a template. It helps with team brainstorming sessions and cuts down on the work I have to do before a group meeting. We have used several different boards for different projects where we can just set up a template. Work through the problem, and then come back and pick up where we left off the next time. I would say that I find the template I am looking for about 70% of the time. I think further improving that system would be well worth the time. It's the part of the app where I find the most value.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have several things that I wish would be improved. The first is the line system. There are times when I want to make a hierarchal system and find that I need to have several lines come off of the same object and go into separate objects. A one-to-many sort of approach. It is almost impossible to get this looking clean. I always end up with one line intersection being just higher than another line intersection, or a line coming off an object is just to the left of another line coming off an object. I know it seems like a minor thing. But when I am trying to do a presentation, the details are essential. So I feel like improving the aesthetic of the line system would be helpful.
The other thing that I would like to see improved is the number of templates for personal development. I use miro on my business account for business-related things like Agile planning, refinement, etc. But I also use miro on my personal account for vision boarding, goal setting, habit tracking, etc. I think that there should be some more templates aimed at that. Templates that are for personal development that aren't necessarily associated with business objectives directly. That would take miro to the next level for me and keep me from potentially looking for other solutions like milanote and figma that do have some of those capabilities.
The final thing that I'd like to see. Miro can sometimes get a bit laggy when many people are working on the board at once. This is something that I don't see when I am doing a Figjam in Figma. As an engineer, I know how difficult to optimize that can be, but I'd love to see miro be a little more fluid with a lot of people moving a lot of objects simultaneously.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My company is one hundred percent remote. I always have been, probably always will be. Miro has helped us solve the issue of not being able to sit down in front of a whiteboard and think through a solution. It has allowed us to collaborate quickly and work through different solutions until we find the one that works best for us. It has allowed us to rapidly work through a solution and develop ideas to implement that solution.
I also use it personally to help connect ideas and capture all the information about a project in one place. It's nice to put my own objects together and then use the features like sticky notes and arrows to add notes and connections. It helps me visualize the complexities of a project and string together all the dependencies that are needed to move a project forward.
For my own personal development, it helps to sort out my goals and keep track of them. I can come up with many different ways to track all the personal growth challenges that I have and keep track of them. It is as flexible as I want it to be in that regard.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I'd say to pick a template for a project you are working on and work through that. That is probably going to be your best bet on figuring out if Miro is best for you. Once you have one board filled out, you will know the value proposition of Miro.
10/10 for Miro - mapping lifesaver!
What do you like best about the product?
I found Miro while looking for a platform that could help me map and organize a detailed email journey while collaborating with other people on my team. I was blown away by Miro from a capability side and its ease of use. Miro allowed us to work more effectively and efficiently without a doubt. Since then, others on our team have also tried it out and have had great success.
Also, as a skeptic to taking on new platforms, I really appreciated having so many features available through the 'Free' version. It allowed me to get used to the platform and feel confident in scaling up.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the highlight-to-select features can be finicky.
When I had a question about scaling up our plan and was debating month-to-month vs a year subscription, the Sales Rep insisted I get on a call (which wasn't a good use of my time given my question) and tried to get me to purchase far more than I explained needed. Felt like a pushed upsell.

Miro Helps Your Business Communicate
What do you like best about the product?
Preparing presentations can be a challenging task, but Miro's tools have made it easier for me to get organized and get my point across. It offers a variety of templates that are both practical and professional, which is helpful for the team. The software is user-friendly and great for collaborating with coworkers. This has made it easier to share information with our internal customers faster and with more accuracy.
What do you dislike about the product?
The formatting is very difficult. You have to manually type the bullets and number the lists. As a result, I bought two licenses instead of one even though it's overkill.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work from home sometimes and need a way to manage team meetings. My document includes my notes from past team meetings, project management, and more.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Collaborative boards are great tools for team members to work on. If you've never tried them, you should do so, and this guest access will help you understand what's going on.
The right balance
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is a great tool. What I like most about this type of tool is its the ease of use coupled with a smart feedback mechanism that has no visual excess. They have found the right balance to keeps its users focused on the task at hand with keyboard shortcuts, no information overload, or any clutter. It results in a great user experience that makes the learning curve almost instant.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would have to say the free trial. Even though the Miro team offers us three free drafts to work on, I found it pretty limiting, especially in this time of Covid.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro as a whiteboard to help me create/solve complex user flows quickly. Thank’s to its draggable elements, it is effortless for me to pivot my ideas around the problem.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
As the name says, it is an excellent digital whiteboard with many different templates that will help the users get started.
Great product
What do you like best about the product?
It's powerful, flexible, and easy to use. I like how simple it is from the user's standpoint.
What do you dislike about the product?
Really hard to find something which is wrong
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work as an instructional designer, so we are using Miro for workshops to establish things like the target audience and learning objectives and build the architecture of a learning course. It's very convenient with all stickers which you can move around, with connectors and screenshots. And unlike physical board, once you do it in Miro, it's always there, and you don't need to take pictures or else. It's also very good for collaboration as I can share my thoughts about the course architecture with subject matter experts so they can review it and make their own changes.
I'd give Miro a trophy if I could. One of the best apps.
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is what I've been dreaming of for a while. What I love the most about Miro is the infinite board where I collaborate with my team. It's incredible how we can all be in different places but feel in the same one, thanks to Miro's interface. It is very intuitive, easy to use, and has a great design. For me, discovering that you can anchor your teammate's views was a big surprise; we all loved this spec. I honestly cannot think of another tool you can add to make it better: it has video, chat, figures, pens; it is just perfect.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, I wouldn't change anything about Miro, but if I would have to say something, I will probably make it a little bit more affordable or give more boards in the free version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro helps us feel as if we were collaborating in the same room. It has an excellent solution for the quarantine season. My team could work together with no problem, thanks to Miro's interface. Besides that, I have used Miro for sprints, brainstorming, business canvas, presenting solutions, among others.
Miro is an excellent online team collaboration tool!
What do you like best about the product?
The best feature of Miro is the interactive whiteboard. My software team uses this board to diagram ideas, mock UI, and discuss high-level topics. The whiteboard has many tools that let you edit your UI designs. There are also many templates to choose from if you don't want a blank whiteboard. Miro is also great at collaboration and sharing. Documents can be locked and shared with team members. Miro allows users to give either Read Only access or Edit/Read access. It does not require an app to run. All users need to have access to Miro is a web browser. The web browser Miro app works great, in my opinion. Exporting your final product is also available and gives a high-quality PDF.
What do you dislike about the product?
The panning and zooming on the whiteboard can sometimes be finicky. At first glance, the UI can be a bit overwhelming. It would be nice to have the ability to create your own templates. When multiple people are viewing the same board, I have noticed a small bit of lag. Slack integration would be very helpful instead of emailing new comments or updates to users. While the commenting feature works, it is not as easy as commenting on a Google Document. Miro also lacks in the process flow side as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Miro, I can solve the problem of engaging with my teammates during meetings. During meetings, we can all contribute to the board and see in real-time comments or suggestions. One benefit I have realized is remote brainstorming. I am able to edit a board and then have a teammate make edits that I can quickly see. Miro also helps our team see the big picture.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend using Miro if you have a small team and are looking for more engagement and creating various boards for various products.
Best design research tool I've used so far
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is pretty straightforward, and it is very easy to share boards with clients' teams without having them create accounts.
I have never experienced any slowdown, especially when drag-n-dropping large pictures on mood boards with 5+ people working simultaneously, which is one of the main reasons I moved to Miro.
Connecting objects with arrows is straightforward and accurate, making it very quick to create flow diagrams.

What do you dislike about the product?
I would appreciate the possibility of using additional fonts from Google Fonts or Adobe Fonts, to have perfectly branded boards for clients' workshops.
It'd also be great to have finer control on locking objects, to allow, for example, drag-and-drop of templates with some elements unlocked by default (e.g. user personas cards where only editable fields are locked)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm mostly organizing user research workshops (which went fully online after covid hit).
From a few weeks, I'm also experimenting with creating diagrams we would typically design using specialized software, benefiting from the easiness of sharing and collaboration that Miro offers.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need a reliable design collaboration tool, that makes sharing boards effortless, look no further than Miro (I already tested almost all other products around!)
Great collaboration and whiteboarding tool
What do you like best about the product?
Miro has been great for our teams to collaborate while being remote and distributed. There are various ways to whiteboard and brainstorm, and it's been the closest way for us to mimic what we used to do in person! I like the flowcharts to easily and quickly map out processes/flows and the mind map to jot down ideas.
What do you dislike about the product?
Minor - but it would be nice to have additional creative flexibility in the formatting of various boards
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are first and foremost solving virtual collaboration via Miro - having teams across many different time zones and locations has been a bit hectic and grown stale with just virtual conferencing. Adding Miro into our collaboration toolbox at work has been a helpful way for us to engage teammates creatively that we haven't been able to since we have become remote.
Creative Collaboration and Teaching environment
What do you like best about the product?
Brings the immediate & direct hands on experience from whiteboard and Metaplan.
Adds the freedom of infinite wall papers and zooming in and out to change perspective ad hoc
Well prepared elements and functions that make it easy to create clean and appealing results while staying in the creative flow
A huge template library to start new things very efficient and to search for interesting & useful formats. Extra Bonus - the method, the template is used for - is even explained

What do you dislike about the product?
I'm a mindmap-junky. As such, I'm missing some of the flexibility and features of for instance X-Mind.
I'll come back and add, as soon as I've found more downside ;-)
