Unearth real insights through Miro collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to create frameworks easily using simple graphic tools. This then provides a fantastic opportunity for genuine collaboration. As an Innovation Lead, it's easy for me to visualise ideas and then bring the team through them. Working together it's easy to keep iterating in the Miro platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not being able to see everyone on the video call option makes running workshops a little tricky sometimes. It would be great even to spotlight the person speaking if we can't see everyone at once.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would absolutely recommend Miro.
It has enabled us to do everything from run remote workshops to full week-long sprints with clients. This was the primary reason we adopted Miro but now members of the team use it daily for their own individual purposes like idea generation, mapping, diagraming and road-mapping.
It's incredibly powerful. The one watch-out on workshops is that you cannot see all users at once, i.e. if you have more than four users on a call. However, Miro also keeps adding new functionality like the recent addition of "reactions", which also helps with running workshops.
If you're someone who needs powerful but clear and nicely designed diagrams or mindmaps, then Miro is the right tool for you. The important thing about this too is the ability to simultaneously work on a mind map with multiple people at once. Happy diagraming!

Priceless for remote work
What do you like best about the product?
Super quick and easy to work together on all kinds of collaboration from initial ideas, through to detailed designs. Super smooth usability and helpful shortcut keys let us get stuff done. The shared templates are handy for indicating what can be done with the system.
What do you dislike about the product?
Few niggles on linking lines and selecting across multiple layers. Plus some shortcut keys differ from other standards I use which causes confusion. Font handling when zoomed in / out can be painful - eg, defaults to small size (8) but is actually large on the screen (have to create a group and scale it).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solution creation for users, collaborating on ideas across the team. Having a shared digital workspace makes it easy to all stay in sync and come u with interesting directions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Highly recommended. Well worth the time to get going and use across your teams.
Miro - a great collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to collaborate work with my colleagues and the fast and intuitive User Interface. Additional, the many templates are a great way to get started and onboard new users. The Fremium version offers a solid range of features and is a good starting point for working together with your team and sharing whiteboards.
What do you dislike about the product?
A small detail I dislike is that sometimes users drag items around unintentionally when multiple users work on the same file. Furthermore, the fact that recent changes are highlighted is not very convenient for me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using Miro mainly for remote and interactive workshops with multiple users. Additionally, I have switched some meeting notes completely over to Miro, which makes the interaction way easier. We have also used Miro for our brainstorming sessions since going fully remote. That involves customer journey maps, mind maps and scamper.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would suggest just get started and give the tool a try. It is super easy to understand and with the many templates you even have a starting point.
invaluable resource for workshops during lockdown, and now our go-to platform
What do you like best about the product?
It's intuitive and easy to work with. I have run online workshops with groups of people who are not necessarily comfortable with this sort of thing and they all got the hang of it quickly. This is really important because when you are running a workshop, it's the workshop subject matter that you want people to focus on, and the tools should simply be serving to assist with getting everybody's thoughts and opinions recorded and shared, and should not take over. MIRO does this, and in fact allowed us to create new workshop exercises that really got people's interest and attention in ways that you might not achieve in face to face. I can see us continuing to use this platform for workshops even as face to face meetings become possible again
What do you dislike about the product?
One annoying issue with writing text - which I can't quite get my head round. The size of the text box and the size of the font are connected, so when you write the box just gets wider and wider rather than wrapping, and if you try to resie the width of the box afterwards, the text shrinks down instead of wrapping. The only way to get it to wrap is to put line breaks in. This is daft - the functionality should work the way text boxes work on all other programs (Word, Pages, InDesign, Acrobat etc etc)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MIRO meant we were able to carry on with what we do for our clients. Hard to know how we would have run our strategy brand reviews without some sort of online collaborative tool to use - workshops are an integral part of our process, and we needed something that replaced the flipcharts and post-it notes of our face to face meetings. MIRO does that brilliantly.
This is a great tool and amazing value!
What do you like best about the product?
The functionally is amazing, it has a really diverse range of templates and so easy to use as a Whiteboard in meetings, but we mainly use it for graphic representations for change management and strategic development. We use this tool to engage a wide range of stakeholders across the organisation.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only issue we've found is the flashing ad's for external viewers (those that don't have a Miro log in) are very distracting and have been flagged by viewers.

Jumping straight in with a project is frustrating but by taking the time the learn the basics you'll get so much out of it.
Miro - Mesmerising, Intuitive, Reliable & Open
What do you like best about the product?
The user experience - it's so intitutive ! It's also amazing for large group tasks and exercises as you can use Miro as a bridge between nations and people. I love that url's have a preview as well - this is one of my favorite features as you can quickly and easily identify information to click into - I now use these instead of bookmarks on my browser. It may be good to look at connecting bookmarks in someones browser to Miro? Or have some form of extension add-on to quickly add them in to a project.
What do you dislike about the product?
Viewing who's in your team could be made easier!
I can be difficult to keep things the same scale - usually we use a sticky note as a reference but it would be amazing if Miro had some form of automatic scaling system to retain a productive and reasonable board size !

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I study Innovation Design Engineering at the RCA and we have been using this for our course connecting students from all over the world working on really diverse challenges and projects. It has allowed us to literally take on anything and collaborate between ourselves no matter where we are in the world.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need to pour your mind into a medium to direct your thoughts this tool is one of the best thing that will allow you to do exactly that!
Very good platform for remote collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Possibility to collaborate all my tasks in one comprehensive tool. Additional, this tool is straightforward to understand for all my colleagues during all of my workshop and brainstorming sessions.
I can use Miro boards and frames as a metting notes what is very readable and clear.

What do you dislike about the product?
Post-it, possibility to edit and format text. I use post-its to share any comment on my board and text formatting is not very friendly - however, it is slight disadvantage ;-)
Some performance issues when I'm working with a lot of screens and files (both online and desktop versions)
Some performance issues when I'm working with a lot of screens and files (both online and desktop versions)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Daily workshops and brainstorming sessions. Additional I use Miro to sketch processes and Value Stream Maps
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider how many colleagues may work with you on one board. Additionally, consider how much information you are using during sessions - too many files, screens, etc., causing some performance issues. Security aspects are also fundamental because Miro is mainly used for collaboration, and revealing some confidential data may be dangerous
The go-to remote collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that I can work with a well-defined essential element, post-it, and from there create whatever I want with frames or arrows, from arrays to flows. Moreover, as soon as I need to scale up my work, I can help myself with tools like icon finder or templates.
Also, it's an excellent tool for Agile project management. We used it super-effectively for retrospective and team building within a fully remote team since before Covid, using timers, voting, and much more.

What do you dislike about the product?
I think there are too many icons on the screen that aren't self-explanatory. I'm specifically talking about the lower-left bar. I understand it packs collaboration tools, but I feel if you're not a very curious person that wants to know everything about the tools that's using, most of the users won't ever reach there or notice that they could find tools as a timer, even if they need one.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I schematize ideas and propositions within marketing operations for our products. It effectively substitutes drawing schemes on a physical notepad. I also keep track of progress within these schemes.
It's also advantageous because when I need to quickly share my work with other team members within the sales-marketing team, I can share a link of the frame I need to show them or quickly draw them to my view when they are logged in the same board.

Essential tool in today's Product work
What do you like best about the product?
Miro allows you to visualise any type of information in a comprehensive, organised and flexible way. You are not stuck with rigid templates, or limited by space. Amazing for team work, different team members can contribute without having to undergo trainings. I use it to ideate, or put together research in order to see the bigger picture of what I'm creating. Rather than having multiple documents, I can just add everything to Miro and save it for future reference.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's hard to scale things if you're working with multiple canvases. I often end up with things that are relatively too small or too large, which makes it a bit difficult to navigate different canvases in one session.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro allows me to organise my research in a way that is not limited by slides or other space constraints. I can create connections between different kinds of elements (image, text) that are easily edited. This means that in the end my work is all in one place, easily shareable with my colleagues. It's more fun and engaging than other tools I might use (e.g. Power Point).
Miro facilitates both expansive and focused thinking modes
What do you like best about the product?
These are the two (2) features I used very often:
* Sticky notes on unlimited space
* Multiple file types support
Ability to present and take notes (e.g. adding stickies) at the same time. In the past, I jotted down my presentation notes separately, because it's quite distracting to stop the presentation mode just to add some notes (or change some elements in the deck).

What do you dislike about the product?
* Overuse, esp. frequent zoom in/out, easily leads to visual fatigue
* Feature to search text inside attached pdf
* Global text search (of Miro board content) is an enterprise feature
* Pricing might be prohibitive for some individuals and/or companies

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
* Real-time remote collaboration to increase participants' engagements
* Comprehensive view of an idea or ideas, which often were captured in many different formats (e.g. YouTube videos, pdf, text-based notes, etc.)
* The ability for me to jump around the board freely facilitates creative thinking. The inherently linear sequence of slide deck often hiinders this expansive thinking mode.
