What do you like best about the product?
I started a skeptic - oh god, another laggy fake whiteboard. Can say without doubt that this is my favourite tool adopted by our team during pandemic. My favourite feature is the fact that I can copy templates from other parts of my company - so if we are working on a bit of marketing, I will steal a storyboard from PR team, but when we are working out how to explain products to our partners, I head over to the roadmaps created by engineers for a template. It just gets something down on paper, so I can start planning the workshop.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am the person in the group who clicks on the 'blocker' faded out square thing, and deletes it. Never been sure why they are there, never worked out how to avoid ruining them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cross team collaboration without being f2f. If there was the slightest lack of intuitive UI, or it lagged, or it was ugly, or it made my laptop fans take off - it wouldn't stick.

What do you dislike about the product?
day passes, the reason being is sometimes our teams are sharing boards that are to viewed only but when one of our members click on it we are then charged for them since they do not have a full licence and only need to view boards not edit.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've used it to solve alignment across the business, for example making flowcharts for a particular issue and having the team adhere to it so we are all reading from the same book and all customers receive the same level of service
Recommendations to others considering the product:

What do you like best about the product?
My favourite part is the seemingly infinite drawing board, how everything scales up and down completely effortlessly. As a fairly mediocre web developer myself, I'm flabbergasted at how you've been able to do half of this stuff.
What do you dislike about the product?
Many people have gripes about performance, but I think that's a bit overblown; it tends only to pop up once we've thoroughly abused a board with a ludicrous amount of content.
My main problem is less about Miro as a tool and more about how it tends to be used for far too many things.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Running remote meetings. It's very helpful to have a collaborative note-taking surface.
Sometimes people disregard the fact that we can all see the same board, and opt to share their screen, but that's a user issue.

Miro - The best visual whiteboard
What do you like best about the product?
The interactive tools and elements allow collaborators to work together. Miro as a tool allows for all members of the team to offer a creative and unique outlook on all ideas and makes sharing sessions amazing. The built-in timer as well as all the other tools and creative offerings make it a totally fun and unique experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a tad tricky to navigate if not on a pro plan
The zoom feature needs to be a bit more promptly displayed as it can be sometimes hard to navigate within aboard
Maybe more a variety on colours and post it options
It can be hard for new people to get started as there are so many functions and options to work throughs
Sometimes the image previews don't load properly and can be very difficult to work out what board corresponds to what issue

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working through projects more succinctly and allowing for amazing workshops.
Allowing a more streamlined take when introducing new processes and ideas
It's allowed us to be a bit more visual with projects and problem-solving
Time management issues are a thing of the past as everyone is always given full transparency and can contribute on the boards
Allow for integration of videos to make things a bit more prominent
Flows and mindmaps are easier to navigate through and better for the team to work through
Team working!

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do research into the offerings and look at the plans available
Fast and simple way to collaborate remotely
What do you like best about the product?
Miro has made it seamless to operate entirely remotely for the past year and a half - I can work with the team in real-time, see and share ideas and it's easy to organise anything from a flow chart to warm up games.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes Miro can be a little glitchy due to how many people are interacting with it at once - most often this is the music re-starting or not stopping, and the 'purple' highlighting of the entire board/page.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It let's the team collaborate in real-time as if we were in the office together, remotely - it's a simple visual tool and easy to use for sharing ideas and notes or brainstorming together without having to be in an office with a whiteboard.
Miro is our creative collaboration hero
What do you like best about the product?
I knew about Miro during the business incubation process for our startup, and during that process, we were able to draft a large number of mindmaps, concepts, thought techniques (including brainstorming), and strategies even though we were participating in the session virtually. In addition to using text and photos, this application allows us to draw on its canvas using a marker, much like we would if we were using a traditional whiteboard directly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Though it lets the user draw things, it is not on that nuanced perspective to fit designers' needs. It is also not available cross-platform; for instance, Linux users cannot access its desktop version. Additionally, its mobile version is almost useless in terms of usability due to its small screen size.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can all work together on a single Miro digital whiteboard to brainstorm, create business procedures, and even talk in real-time as if we were in the same room. Its prebuilt templates have always made our work process efficient. But, Miro is sometimes vague due to its unnecessary features; they should improve their knowledge base and get started guide.
Seems limitless
What do you like best about the product?
The infinite nature of the boards - I love how you can add no end of detail and zooming in or out is much smoother than expected. We also love the way workshop teams can all add post-its to the same board at once and see what each other is doing. I realise Miro might not be the only application that does this, but it does it so well and without slowing things down; I'm slightly in awe.
we also like being able to use emojis and have lots of other material at our disposal

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I struggle to select objects - it can feel like a hassle ungrouping and re-grouping and trying to pick one small thing between layers. I'm not sure how developers might side step this though, without spoiling functionality.
Also, we've not tried doing a live meeting just in Miro - we're a bit nervous about it and have always met in Zoom and then whoever is facilitating will share their Miro screen. That's partly because we don't quite understand how to invite non-contributing participants - we'll pay for a few extra seats so workshop team leaders can contribute but need a way to involve up to 30 view-only people for a couple of hours without buying separate seats for them all which is too expensive for us. I think I have just struggled to understand the rules here and would appreciate clarification.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've been using it mainly to collaborate in ideation workshops. We'll set up a board with areas that we want to focus on and surround it with images, stats and other inspo materials. We'll allocate each workshop group a specific coloured pack of miro post-its then they'll post their ideas using them, so everyone can see at a glance which group has said what and which group has been the most participative. So in a world where we could no longer do this in person, it's been a great engagement tool.
The other main use case is explaining something to a client or to each other, Miro has beaten other online whiteboards for us because it's so easy to draw and post on it.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Their customer service is good, book a call if anything is confusing
Wherever you go, you can find your team on Miro
What do you like best about the product?
We like how easily Miro enables our team to gather information and communicate on different creativity, planning, and business management-related tasks, all visually online from home or anywhere.
What do you dislike about the product?
Even though Miro describes itself as a drag-and-drop system, the actual editing process of the pages is complex, and the interfaces are tough to understand.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
During the worldwide pandemic COVID-19-induced crisis and lockdown, we had no choice but to close our physical office and operate remotely, where Miro proved to be quite helpful among our team, allowing us to contribute our regular business procedures in real-time. Being a customer relations office, the most beneficial thing with Miro is that we could create processes for customer acquisition, onboarding, and retention.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
As Miro offers a wide variety of collaborative and visual creations features, a team should figure out what they exactly need to leverage maximum benefit from Miro.
Miro has significantly saved our stationery
What do you like best about the product?
I particularly appreciate its digital canvas that is nearly unlimited as opposed to a real whiteboard. Furthermore, it includes hundreds of prebuilt templates that save time and effort to construct one from the start when working on a real whiteboard.
What do you dislike about the product?
Having many features and functions combined with an inadequate knowledge base and onboarding procedure might make Miro exceedingly tricky for new users to get the system's full benefits.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The most significant benefit that we have realized from using Miro is that our entire team can collaborate virtually from anywhere at any time. It is even better than working on a physical whiteboard because it allows us to illustrate ideas, concepts, and processes while making necessary changes on the fly.
Making Remote Workshops a Possibility
What do you like best about the product?
I find Miro exceptionally easy to use, and there are so many use cases. Initially, I started using Miro purely as a whiteboard tool (the Skype and Teams option was rubbish), and this provided a great user experience to both colleagues and clients. I then found more and more use cases for Miro, such as mind mapping and wireframing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing springs to mind as Miro does everything that I need. Or at least expect from the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest challenge was "How do we run remote workshops with our clients?". We use Microsoft Teams, and when we investigated the whiteboard for Teams (Skype), it was really sub-standard. We've now made Miro the standard for facilitating remote workshops. Colleagues and clients love it!
