A great tool for both Retrospectives and Collaboration with colleagues
What do you like best about the product?
I was tasked with finding a good tool to use for cross-functional team retrospectives for our Organization. My colleagues recommended Miro to me, as they had already been using the freeware version of the tool, and were finding it easy and enjoyable to use.
I like that it can be used not only for our Retrospectives initiatives, but also for collaborative whiteboarding and brainstorming. My colleagues have been able to find many uses for Miro boards since we purchased our team licenses.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some of our developers have commented that they do not enjoy the whiteboard/notes for retrospectives, as they find it can be cluttered and/or confusing. They prefer to use other tools for their own team retrospectives.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are rolling out an initiative to use Miro boards for our internal issue Retrospectives, both small scale and large scale. The benefit so far has been improved collaboration amongst cross-functional teams participating in the retrospectives.
Incredible Planning and Visualization Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Miro has many useful features, but its "boundary free" layout is a favorite. The ability to keep adding visuals and expanding your workspace is incredibly helpful for complex, nuanced projects or processes.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes time to get used to remembering to toggle from edit (arrow icon) to move/scroll (hand icon). If you don't, you'll inevitably move an object/shape rather than move the field of view.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm the project manager for planning and implementing major changes to four graduate-level education programs that see a throughput of 15,000 students per year. Our team uses Miro to visually show our journey from legacy programs to an outcomes based approach. Miro lets us depict the flow from program goals, to stakeholder requirements, to competencies, to knowledge/skills/abilities/behaviors, to eventual program learning outcomes. It's an incredibly complex and involved enterprise, but Miro's fantastic visuals coupled with a super intuitive interface make it not only feasible, but eminently presentable to stakeholders and leaders!
Miro is my favorite remote working tool. i use it for everything
What do you like best about the product?
I use Miro for many things: collaborative Workshops, taking notes, describing processing, agile retro.
It is quick, easy to be used, and has an infinte space board. It's my personal notebook, where i know that i can find all of my toughts, notes, insights, check list.

What do you dislike about the product?
That other people in my team don't use it. It is perceived as a designer's tool, but it isn't. It can help everybody in their remote activity.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I don't need any more papers that I usually lose somewhere. I stick notes, attach files, write pieces of information on the board, draft presentations, or draw concepts.
And then I share it with others, so people can directly feedback me, without writing any email or attach huge files.

Best tool for visualizing and capturing ideas
What do you like best about the product?
With Miro, we were seamlessly able to create and visualize an entire map of our customer journey to deliver our customer support better. Apart from this, it also has the feature to share and collaborate on ideas and maps with colleagues.
What do you dislike about the product?
Though it has a drag and drops feature, it is pretty complex in navigating and identifying the correct usage of each of its components as they are vast in numbers. Also, building any designs from scratch needs more creativity and time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The overall experience with Miro has been pretty impressive. Using it, we were able to brainstorm seamlessly, ideate, and draft better customer journeys from customer onboarding to retention through stepwise planning and visualization of customer support channels, processes, and strategies.
Now, we can finally plot our thoughts into visual maps
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate how conveniently we can quickly brainstorm on my ideas and create visually appealing mind maps that can be either downloaded or shared with anyone online through a shareable link. Other than this, it is also quite valuable for drafting a Business model canvas, SWOT analysis, Project management, and implementation timeline by merely selecting from its pre-designed templates.
What do you dislike about the product?
Even though Miro is a feature-rich program, the optimum usability of the software is a little complicated, and the user might get into several confusions and even get lost from time to time while trying to use it correctly. Additionally, the mobile version of this application is almost useless as it requires a big screen size for designing and creating things efficiently.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The overall experience has been excellent with Miro as they even have a startup support program through which we could receive the credits of two thousand dollars. We can quickly draft our business model canvas, SWOT analysis, project timeline and create various mind maps that are easily shareable with anyone through a link.
Useful tool for team collaboration trough shared whiteboards
What do you like best about the product?
We are able to share screenshots of our work to provide a visual perspective of the team's achievements. With miro, our animation team can provide helpful information of our process to team leaders, and track every step of the process. In my particular case, we make downloadable "smart templates" of motion graphics videos. Our process includes conceptualization, scripting, animation, and UX design. Therefore, Miro helps us prove that we follow the guidelines during our daily taks and show our managers we are feeding the cocorrect information to the servers that host the template platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
We use texts a lot. Usually, our team leads write something and we have to modify this text or add more information. The problem is that TEXTS are sometimes hard to modify onece they were written. Let me give you an example. If my leader Writes "HELLO", the text box will remain that size. If I try to expand the textbox, it will increase or shrink the size of the text but not the space to write. So, if I want to add more words right next to the "HELLO" (whose circular handles are just in the perimeter of the text), the new words will apear under the original text because the textbox already has a horizontal constraint. Do I explain my self? In n other words, its hard to keep writing on the same line because it automatically creates another line. So, I have to create another text with bigger constraints. Heres a video I made thats shows the problem: https://recordit.co/hstfzHYbXf
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our team leaders can see our entire process through our screenshots, instead of manually opening and exploring every photoshop project, after effects file, code scripts, website admin changes and checklist reviews. Also, we can provide the screenshots that prove we backed up all the files into the server after we finish our tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are not familiar with design software like Illustrator and Photoshop, you may want to see and read all the tutorials before starting so you can save time with shortcuts and tools. If you already have experience with Illustrator and Photoshop, you will be fine. It's very intuitive for Adobe users.
Powerful, easy to use whiteboarding app
What do you like best about the product?
My team and I love the real time collaboration. Even though we are all of ther world, we all get together on Miro to work out ideas; it's pretty great considering the pandemic. We also and the integrations. Being able to use Miro within our comms apps is incredibly helpful. We can add Miro to our Webex space and keep it open to add or refine ideas when inspiration sparks. The plug-in integrations are great, too. Icon packs and templates really make projects move quick.
What do you dislike about the product?
Miro cannot be used offline; I'd love to be able to work during my flight or with a sketchy internet connection. The only other things are maybe feature overload. Miro may have features that could help my team but I wouldn't know since I don't really have time to explore the app or watch videos. I've heard of things like tagging, voting, user notifications, and even directory search, but I've never seen official Miro comms about them or seen them in the app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My team uses Miro to diagram processes such as user journeys. Once we all get working, we can quickly identify silos and open them, risks and vulnerabilities, and redundancies.
At them moment, we are using Miro to diagram all of our user journeys through the digital lifecycle.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the Miro integrations to make online meetings better and more engaging; even simple fun sketch events can make difficult sessions more fun and productive.
Miro is a Program I Never Knew I Needed
What do you like best about the product?
I am a very organized individual who retains more information visually. Since COVID, I have been working from home, and I found it difficult to focus without the physical whiteboard I use at the office. After a few Google searches, I found Miro. I displayed all of my thoughts visually on the board, from my daily tasks to my plans for my organization's management plan for our team of volunteers. I also loved the many visual maps that Miro provides. It has helped with planning several aspects for my job. I also love the ability to share my plans with my workmates. We have used many of the visual maps to collaborate on for several different projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not much I can think of in regards to what I dislike. Everything I disliked was easily solved because I needed to learn more about the program. Sometimes it is hard to manipulate sticky notes and frames if it is overlapping a visual map. There are so many visual maps that it can be a little overwhelming to find what I'm looking for, but the program provides a good brief explanation of what each map is used for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I coordinate volunteers and manage updates to the agency's website. Additionally, I serve on a learning collaborative focused on helping underserved populations in our area. With Miro, I have created efficient daily task lists, an overview of programming, mapped out our website, brainstormed solutions, and outlined project proposals. The program is an excellent tool for organizing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I encourage folks to use Miro. Outside of work, I always tell my friends who are focusing on several projects how helpful Miro is to me and helps me with everything. If you are a visual learner, working collaboratively, or need to stay organized, you should try out Miro. It's super simple to use, and the benefits of using it are incomparable to what other platforms are offering at the moment. Since there is a free option available, there is no excuse not to try it!
Best whiteboard I have used!
What do you like best about the product?
Collaboration: I love that I can work with my colleagues on the same board simultaneously, which is very valuable! It reminds me of being back in the office and letting creativity flow naturally when brainstorming
Tools: I love the range of tools offered by Miro, I think the templates are also a great feature when you are not sure where to start

What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, I wouldn't say there is any major issue that impacts workflow. I guess I feel like it would be beneficial to include SSO in all plans rather than hide it behind Enterprise pricing
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our company uses Miro for a wide range of things, for me its mostly GDPR related Data Flows and Data Diagrams, I know others use it for creative brainstorming
