Miro is user friendly and encourages collaboration.
What do you like best about the product?
I like the templates and use them a lot. It makes my life so easy, and I don't need to think about how I should start with e.g. brainstorming or customer journey mapping exercise. Another thing I like about Miro is it is user-friendly and took me an hour to learn and start using it.
What do you dislike about the product?
When I start Miro and see the project list, that is confusing to me. I don't want to see all those projects, which means nothing to me. I like the card view of All Boards I created, but it would be great to see the actual snippet of what it contains instead of a generic grey icon.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro to bring my team together to think on a particular use case of customer journey exercise. It is easy to share with people, and I can see how they add things to it. I work remotely, so this tool helps me quickly gather thoughts from the team as I can't do whiteboarding. Miro is a good starting point for any project and makes people comfortable quickly to start collaborating. I work with engineers, and they are reluctant to draw or write something on the board. With Miro, I have seen people are comfortable to begin drawing and writing. This tool encourages collaboration.
Amazing tool for working across the organisation
What do you like best about the product?
We started using Miro within our Product team for workshopping and collaboration (we're a remote first company).
Its such an easy to use tool that we're now using it across the organizations for all sorts of purposes.
They keep adding decent new features regularly and Miroverse is a great new addition for inspiration.

What do you dislike about the product?
The organizations of boards is a little clunky and could be better. As our usage has grown, thats becoming a small inconvenience!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a remote first team (even pre-pandemic) with colleagues across all timezones its given us a platform to work together and asynchronously in a free form manner.
The unstructured nature of it encourages creative thinking over a spreadsheet or doc.

If you are looking for better ways to collaborate you can't go too far wrong with Miro. Even in person workshops get documented in Miro for transparency and visibility.
Perfect tool - easy to use - many ways
What do you like best about the product?
miro is an extremely easy tool to use. it can be used for many purposes and functions. in our case we started using miro to replace the classic whiteboard during the covid period.
later we started to use miro also to design diagrams related to customer jorney and customer interactions with our points of contact. one of the advantages of miro in my opinion is the possibility to interact "really" in real time. the whole team can enter comments and modify the whiteboard in a very collaborative way.

What do you dislike about the product?
As i wrote in the title the tool is perfect. rarely happened to find a platform so well made.
If i really have to point out some aspects that could be improved: 1) with the free plan you can only have three private boards. this is actually a pretty strict limit, but it is still acceptable considering that it is the free version. maybe you could think of giving a trial period during which these limits are not there.
2) It would be nice if you could start a video call directly from miro or if you could use it with MS teams or Google meet. I saw that an integration with zoom was recently released. It would be helpful to replicate what was done with Zoom with teams and G meet as well.
3) maybe it could be useful to introduce a versioning of the whiteboard to keep track of changes made. so you could recover an element maybe deleted by mistake.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We started using miro to replace the "old" whiteboard during the covid period.
After that, we also used it as a brainstorming tool to gather ideas, to work on the customer journey. Extremely convenient is also the lack of extension limits of the whiteboard. this allows those who have the free plan to be able to create very large whiteboards and thus manage the limit of 3 editable boards.
With Miro today we have a tool that simplifies and speeds up a lot of our work. We will no longer be able to work without Miro.
The tool is also very useful because it allows us to share the board with external guests, limiting their ability to modify the content.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a tool to replace the classic whiteboard Miro is for you, but it also does much more.
It lets you have an infinite white space in which you can make diagrams, draw flows, insert tables, screenshots and images, insert icons and many other useful objects to do the work you're doing clearer.

Makes workshop facilitation and presentations a breeze
What do you like best about the product?
As a UX Designer, Miro has enabled me to get my ideas down quickly, group my relevant findings and wireframing. From there, I can then organize the information, add a bit of design and be ready to present or share with our team or organization.
I've found it a great tool to collaborate with other departments and run workshops, ensuring that everyone is on the same page and collect their input. The great thing is that your boards can continually be accessed. So, if anyone has that moment of inspiration they can go back to it and add their thoughts and ideas.
Having the timer feature, and ability to bring eveyone to your screen, as well as the wide range of templates and design tools that help format your information, all these things help me to save time and create a great experience for presenting, workshops or just thrashing out ideas with the team.

What do you dislike about the product?
Perhaps the ability to change icon colours.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Streamlining process mostly, getting quicker feedback on design decisions and information structure. We very much work in an agile way, so miro helps us with communicating and getting much-needed input at each stage of our process.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I've found it great for workshops, presentations, organizing, and creativity. Try it out, you'll love it.
So many great ways to map ...
What do you like best about the product?
I love how simple it is to quickly build a complex mind-map, user journey, wireframe and so much more. I love how easy it is to share a board, the simplicity of the interface, and the vast quantity of excellent templates.
What do you dislike about the product?
One tiny thing - when exporting the preview frame doesn't default to the particular map I've highlighted. This doesn't affect use in any way, it's just a minor minor irritation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Complex mapping of user & donor journeys, sequences etc. Miro has enabled me to rapidly map crazy processes and come to simple conclusions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Everything about using Miro (including interactions with their support team) has been easy and enjoyable. The product is intuitive to use and meets my needs very well.
Robust, Essential, and High Functioning platform, especially for visual people
What do you like best about the product?
I like how the options are easy to navigate. Every template has an explanation of what and why you would use it, so new users won't be overwhelmed. I love the features and functions; they are extremely versatile and flexible. I'm a visual learner so it's ideal for someone like me. It keeps me organized. I don't have an agenda at work, I use Miro for that. Excellent for team planning and organizing. I really like how they teach you how to use the platform through their university. It doesn't cost an arm and a leg, which is always a plus. It saves everything automatically, I NEVER have to worry about losing data. Great for brainstorming all the way to the execution stage.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not the easiest for non-technical people, if people aren't used to such a platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm solving organizational and admin issues, team efficiency, and my mental health; if I'm not organized it drives me crazy and stresses me out. If realized I needed Miro years ago.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's free to make an account. Try it out and see if it fits your line of work, it's definitely going to meet your expectations regardless.
Incredible collaborative tool for the first steps of design process
What do you like best about the product?
The way I can create a lot of boars and put things integrated, links, etc. And work in a collaborative way.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like so much the tool for prototyping, it is too limited and has some problems
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use miro to see everything that I gather from each new feature I'm building in the same place, as I could do in a wall, but better because I can put links, videos and quickly revisit everything about that. But the thing that I most love about it is to manage those boards together with other designers, PMs, engineering and use it also for presenting what I found, the open questions and my ideas.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is like an intelligent wall on your remote work. It can really help you in your work. Use it to visually see everything you know about a product, competitors, features, ideas, questions. It's easier to work when you see everything that was in your mind, in a board.
A very flexible and collaborative tool
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility to design clear visual items, add post-its, and so on. And it is fun (easy to add images, colors,...)!
It is very easy to use, to navigate in the virtual workspace, by swiping and by zooming in and out.
There are a few useful feature like a timer, a feature to bring everyone's screen to the same location of the virtual workspace (very useful when you get lost).
It is also possible to define the landing page for collaborators to automatically arrive where you want in the board (e.g. an "introduction" space).

What do you dislike about the product?
It is an additional tool that comes on top of other tools like OneNote, Teams' whiteboard,... but its features are worth it.
I regularly accidentally moving an object without meaning to, sometimes without noticing what I did.
The downside of the number of features is that it can feel a it overwhelming. It takes a little bit of learning time to know where the useful features are.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows collaborating in real-time on a same visual a little like we would at an in-person meeting.
For example, as participants you can put up your photos with a bit of presentation. This point is even better than in-person meetings where it can be challenging to remember everyone's name and their info, whereas on Miro, you can go back there and look at the photos/names/presentations.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking for a tool to help compensate the distance between collaborators, especially in this time of WFH and lockdowns, Miro could be the tool to help create proximity for real-time collaborative work.
Easy to use, constantly being updated and good support and community
What do you like best about the product?
Super easy to learn and use but not lacking features. Integration with tons of apps make it even more powerfull.
The large community and shared templates provide with inspiration and tons of examples to quicky start a new project
Free account also provides enough features for small and ocasional users.
Very good performe either in the webapp and windows aplication.
Smarter than most other option, with the formating and default option being intuitive and easy to use.
exporting is also great, the only improvement would be to sort stick notes by color when exporting to excel.
tables are great and also easy to manipulate and timers are very usefull.
Voting works well, but still could be improved
Mindmapping i also usefull in some situation and is very capable.
overall very happy with my consultant plan. tons of options for a good price

What do you dislike about the product?
As a consultant working with clients and organizing large workhop I miss the fact that there is no "god option" so you block the canvas and everyone just sees what you see, you can still bring people to your "screen" but they can still go off and get lost in the canvas.
One option to temporary block the canvas and make everyone follow you would be a great add to the presentation mode
blocking elements on the canvas is still a cumbersome process especially if you have a lot of elements. would be nice to have a filter to select all the stick notes or all the non editable elements for examples. also i feel that it would be easier to have a layer approach instead of elements.
Videochat works good but still no option for rooms creation

The best digital whiteboarding tool imho
What do you like best about the product?
Pretty much anything is possible with Miro, and there are TONS of integrations. I host multi-company workshops on Miro regularly with up to 100 participants and have never had performance issues or issues with board access. I love how quick and easy it is to link in websites (with previews now) or paste in external images and even extract PDF docs. Actually, I don't think I've ever had a problem with a file type being supported on the board. It's also easy to make the boards look beautiful with user-friendly design tools. Miro makes me feel like a designer (even though I have no background in this), plus it's just fun to work with!
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside of all the amazing features and integrations is that, as with any tool that can do SO much, it can lead to some confusion for those unfamiliar with the board when they first come in and start trying things out. Usually, I have to really simplify my external workshops so that the only task of the participants is to write sticky notes and paste them in pre-made areas. Also something that drove me crazy originally is how tedious it can be to lock all elements of the board separately or even as grouped items. You don't want external users messing with background pieces when they interact on the board (or just accidentally move something or delete something without seeing). Especially when you have complex boards with lots of group areas for many different participants, you have to copy and paste a lot of grouped objects and continually lock things separately each time, which is a bit annoying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problem Solved: Digital collaboration with large groups from different companies and creating an interactive space.
Benefits: Giving a lot of creative space to large groups to co-create and crowdsource, and getting to see more ideas from people who might not speak up as much if it were an in-person meeting/setting.
