Great Experience using Miro
What do you like best about the product?
The best of Miro is the freedom that you have to organize your things. Also, all the templates that you have, all the tools are handy.
I like all the tools for colaborating like share access to a board, presenting, or even follow someone on your team.

What do you dislike about the product?
I think something that it can improve is that you don't have a scale of sizes, like what's the right size for a presentation or for any activity. Also something that I think is missing is status of things, I mean you have the cards but they have a lot of information, and if you need something like a check, it could be a good thing have a button or something like that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The process of start designing, doing mood boards or looking for references. The communication of everyone I think is really good, the way you can share things, or doing a sketch is really easy.
Amazing Collaborative Tools
What do you like best about the product?
So many templates! I love that I can build the foundation with a template and then edit every little bit as needed for my particular project. I also like the ability to see my colleagues working together on the board when we are in a workshop setting - we call it the "feeding frenzy".
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the sharing/editing settings confusing. Who is a "team member" or an "editor"... "has a seat" or is just granted "access"... the fact that I fumble on the settings with almost every board tells me it's not super intuitive. In a similar vein, I find the labels and settings/rules for "projets" or "teams" or other organzational suff confusing to navigate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The boards are a great way to bring remote teams together in something more exciting (and flexible and functional) than a power point. We also love that you can leave the board "open" after a meeting so that people who aren't great with thinking "on the spot" can have time to add their participation at a time that works for them.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't hesitate :) Once you start exploring all the options deeply, it's incredible how many options there are available to build any visualization you might need.
Tonic for a 'virtual' business world
What do you like best about the product?
The infinite canvas is great for people who just want to get stuck into a project. The vector based graphics allow for almost infinite zooming. The keyboard shortcuts are very useful to get ideas and concepts down quickly and the large number of templates make it easy to build on other frameworks. Its a must for visual thinkers. The smartphone app is quite usable also. Integrations with Monday.com and other CRM software make this easy to fold into existing workflows. Miro is the best tool I have found for collaborative outlining, whiteboarding and most importantly, visually explaining projects and concepts. It allows everyone in virtual meetings to get to the same page quickly and makes focusing on stuff easier. The real-time collaboration and input features are very well implemented and executed and the various input types allows me to understand which visual method resonates best with certain staff and/or clients.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the mindmapping feature should be fleshed out. We don't use this aspect much because you cannot hide branches etc. What could initially be perceived as a downside is the "yet another digital tool to learn how to use" argument. However, the pros here outweigh the cons on this. Getting others on board with tools will always have challenges. Other than that, there is very little to complain about here.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro solves a core issue which is getting everyone focused on the same stuff. A lot of staff are visual thinkers and miro is directly replacing our office whiteboards, post-its etc in a virtual capacity. The infinite canvas allows to to quickly build out projects, or copy these en-masse to new boards. The key benefit here for us is the way a tool like Miro can break down complex project items to simpler next steps from which we build our actions list. Its 'open' structure means you have a lot of control over how you visualse work. This is important for the afformentioned visual thinkers amongst us. Once we have something presented in a way which resonates at staff or board meetings, we make this a template. Its really that simple. great!
Finally the tool I need
What do you like best about the product?
As responsible for the roadmap at our company, I need a tool to give me a good overview of the quickly changing situation. The roadmap is a combination of internally prioritized topics and customer requirements for upgrades. Building a consistent roadmap for the single epics, features, I am in continuous sync with different projects and their timeline. Weekly I share this information across the various stakeholders in the company - R&D, sales, management, product management, project.
The MIRO allows me to achieve the best visibility without going into technical details like in JIRA. I use only the Kanban template, which allows moving features and scheduling them very quickly to the single releases. I feel better organized and have better control over the situation.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is the possibility to create JIRA tickets for each card, which is good. It would be great to have also the option to create presentation slides for the boards.
I also tried the roadmap template with resource planning. Not flexible enough to add teams and to add members to the team. Depending on the requirements, we could enlarge a team for a particular release and decline another group. I expected features like "Drag&Drop" or "+" (add a team), (add a member to the team) or add a column to the template.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I described this in the last part. Collect requirements and build a roadmap, which I share with various stakeholders in the company.

Try different templates. Learn how to, and I am sure you will like it.
Fantastic tool to on-line collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
What I like the most is the simple way to create content and interact with teams of professionals. It allows you to make very good schematics, diagrams to structure complex systems. You can create many types of tasks and activities to collect and share ideas from many professionals to move forward together. Being a huge blank slate, you can design everything you need on it. The templates are also very good, canvas, schedules. It may seem silly, but the timer is very useful when you have many people distributed, working at the same board, but communicating by video call, divided into smaller rooms.
What do you dislike about the product?
When working with many people at the same time, I find it difficult to prevent other, less experienced members from unlocking and moving items on the board. I miss being able to block content, that only the creator of the board can unlock.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were able to move our annual strategic planning process, super-fast, online. The results we obtained, despite the improvisation, were rated by the participants as excellent (none of us knew the tool and we learned to use it very easily). It is also very easy to extract evidence of the work that is done in miro, to have information, to remember and review next year.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro has been a great discovery for our organization :) It has been key to addressing the change to online management of some of the most critical activities in our organization's leadership. After the Covid, I do not doubt that we will continue to use it to share knowledge, gather ideas, and collaborate between teams.
I recommend that you try it in the free version, you will quickly realize its value, and you will want the paid version ;)

Improved collaboration in a distributed workforce
What do you like best about the product?
It's so easy to use! I've uncovered new collaboration techniques through some of the templates available. If I have a last-minute workshop, the templates have saved me a few times by having everything already set up and in place, I can focus on facilitating the workshop and getting better results from everyone on the call.
What do you dislike about the product?
Commenting could be better. It's difficult to see when you have a lot of information on a board where the comment has come in the notifications, as there is not a direct link to the text it is responding to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's helped us collaborate remotely better as a team, and it's helped me communicate early on strategic ideas to stakeholders & managers better than in a google doc or slides presentation.
Versatility brought to life
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use. Extreme versatility to get ideas across.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are very few things to dislike about Miro. And they are constantly adding functionality. It just gets better and better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Kanbans for projects. Ideation for problem solving. Workflow illustration. Video scripting. Agile stories and actions. I haven't even begun to scratch the surface. Only limitation is my own creativity.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The free version has all the functionality but is limited in the number of boards and size of teams. As an independent consultant with future work not guaranteed, I cannot afford the subscription, but the free version meets and exceeds my current needs. However, I would recommend that large organisations pay the subscription fees and roll this out to teams collaborating locally, and especially remotely. The real time collaboration is amazing.
Fantastic collaboration platform
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ease of use even for first-timers, it's very intuitive.
The web app nature also speeds up the process not forcing me to install anything on the computer and even if the pc is unavailable (happened once) I can just borrow one from a colleague or use a tablet.

What do you dislike about the product?
When I try to load images that are too big the app should resize them not refuse my file, not all users know how to resize content.
The activity tab is kind of hidden, making it not so easy to find at first glance or use.
The same goes for the chat, I know people that use Miro for a good amount of time and didn't even know it was an actual feature, and that's a pity because it can be super helpful to help to improve communication without blasting the board with comments or have to switch to Slack to talk to your team.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it for customer journeys and experience mapping in general
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a very helpful platform for organic and team projects, it gives you the closest experience to a brainstorming room possible on a 2D screen. It mostly bridges the distance bridge between colleagues in a fun and approachable way. Best of all you don't have to pay anything to try it, so for some reason it doesen't meet you needs you can just delete your account. Zero hassle.

Awesome Tool!
What do you like best about the product?
Miro has been a great tool for collaborative workshops for my team. It's extremely easy to use - for folks with varying levels of comfort with technology and has come in very handy while working remotely. It's really great at quickly being able to put together process maps. I really like how you can connect arrows directly to process boxes, and how they track with the boxes as you reformat. It has really decreased the time I spend meticulously putting together process maps, and helps me focus on the actual content / through process of what I'm creating.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were more graphic tools and capabilities. I usually will create visual materials in another program like Figma and then import them into Miro. There is not a lot of flexibility with shapes, colours, etc. But at the same time I guess that's not what Miro is aiming to do. Perhaps it would be helpful as an admin to be able to get contributors to "Follow" you, instead of having to ask them to "follow" you every time you go to another location on the board.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Miro to help us in gathering, synthesizing, visualizing user feedback. It's very beneficial in collaborative activities. It helped us understand pain points, work together to do things quickly but with a rich experience. I find it very helpful to gather a large quantity of feedback at once. Miro is also helpful in enabling those who are less comfortable voicing their opinion to contribute to the conversation in a more comfortable medium (e.g. contributing on a "sticky" to a digital whiteboard.)
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out! It takes very little time to set up and learn how to use it, so there's no hurt in trying. It might be a great tool for your next collaborative project/activity, and it's really fun to get creative with the icebreakers you can do on Miro.
