essential collaborative and creative tool
What do you like best about the product?
I started using Miro in 2017. Ease of use and robust (well designed) tools have made this my choice for personal planning and creative work. It's also been the go to tool for working with teams on projects from design thinking processes to sprints to planning. It's so easy to bring in other team members and guests. The learning curve is really short. I've yet to hit a wall with this tool. In fact, as an Adobe products and especially Illustrator user, I've found I can intuitively work on the board.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's challenging to find real issues because over the past few years they have improved the product consistently. I've found the desktop app easier to use than mobile but updates have helped there. The tool could be pricey compared to some other options. I do wish the search feature searched text in all boards. It seems limited now. Discussions could be better. We tend to post sticky notes and are not sure who said what.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work on a globally dispersed team. The number one job is addressing the fact that we cannot work in the same room on a whiteboard. A digital space to collaborate and work asynchonously is invaluable. I've used it for my personal projects to plan and think through them. At any point, someone can see the board and join the process or at least know where it is. The problems are mostly media strategy, marketing, product development, and working through sprint processes for challenges.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the free version and work on an actual project.
Collaboration without limits
What do you like best about the product?
We've used Miro for many years from internal planning to running workshops for our clients with brand strategy, message mapping, workflows, and even app design process. The latest version of Miro enables us to collaborate with others without needing to reference different emails for files, notes or assets. We can link them all inside one place and review on the spot.
What do you dislike about the product?
I honestly can't think of anything that is a deal-breaker for me. Over the years Miro has continually added more resources and templates that have improved the experience!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Miro internally to plan campaigns and benchmarks for the process. And with our client work, we use Miro to run workshops, training, brand strategy, brand development overview, and even collaboration on ideation development. Most of all, it's allowed our fully remote company to collaborate more efficiently with our clients.
Great for remote teams
What do you like best about the product?
Miro helps our remote team visually brainstorm without having to be in person. It has also been beneficial for creating and running workshops because you can start a video meeting right within the board.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the video meetings that are created from within the miro board can be finicky. I have had trouble with being booted out of the meeting several times in one session and having to refresh my page to re-join.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I find Miro helps discuss high-level strategy since it allows you to have a visual representation of how everything links together. It is also nice that I can go into my organization's Miro account and look at other department's work to stay updated on what is happening across the company.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend exploring the different templates that miro already has available for your needs. There are many to choose from, and I am sure I have much more to explore myself!
Flexible and full of great features
What do you like best about the product?
Miro's flexibility and range of functions is very helpful. I can tailor it to what I / my team need easily and I love the custom template feature as keeps my work consistent with less effort than having to recreate my template each time.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike about miro is that inviting people on to my board means they can make updates, whereas it would be good to give people read-only access.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro helps me to resolve decisions problems, showcase a piece of analysis in a way that is easier to understand, communicate plans out and gather my ideas.

A flexible and versatile tool for team collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Miro offers an infinite whiteboard to brainstorm with team members on a project and provides many useful templates that help organize ideas. I like how Miro allows integration with other applications and seamlessly allows content from other websites to enhance existing information on the whiteboard. At present, I am using Miro to help with business model development and it's been great in providing my team and me the space and features to communicate our ideas clearly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Miro, while offering a lot of flexibility and versatility, is still ultimately virtual and so does not allow the same experience one would have on a real-life whiteboard. It's an essential tool for teams to collaborate and brainstorm while working remotely but doesn't offer the free-hand capabilities of an actual whiteboard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using Miro to share ideas and brainstorm with my team while we are all working remotely. It has proven to be an excellent tool for developing a business model and for creating a project timeline.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Attend the introductory webinar on how to use the tool. It gives one a good overview of the available features and where to get help should you need it.
The best platform
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Miro is the variety of templates and the facility to share with colleagues. It's advantageous to make blueprints, prototypes, mind maps, and a bunch of other things.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think that the thing I dislike in Miro is that the free version only allows editing three whiteboards simultaneously and could exist more variations of tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I' am solving problems of my internship and college with Miro; I gain too much time using the whiteboards to make resumes of my lessons, mind maps, and other people can understand my reasoning.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The more you use it, the easier and more practical it gets.
Useful tool for capturing ideas for meetings and workshops
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, with multiple templates and themes for whatever occassion or situation you might need it for. Ideal for mapping out ideas and was of particular use as a research planning development tool. Would reccommend it to anyone looking to capture the important components of a workshop or meeting.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not many down sides to this application. The interface is fairly intuitive, but requires some time to practice with the interface as it isn't apparent how things work initially. But the same can be said of any application in this day and age. Overall I have no problems with the application.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This application allows our participating research staff to have their ideas applied and noted in a workshop or meeting without having to speak or prepare material prior to the event. It also allows the organizer to capture a better overall view of ideas and concepts. This benefits all staff involved making contributions heard and ideas captured from everybody involved.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Spend some time getting familiar with the interface and getting to know which setting you would like to use.
The perfect tool for making complex structures understandable, editable, and sharable.
What do you like best about the product?
When working with complex interconnected structures, Miro makes it easy to design them, and ease of editing is saving me a lot of time compared to using paper or an editor not specifically tailored for this kind of work.
I also enjoy, besides the basic mind map I use most of the time, the option to upload your pictures, collaboration, vast workspace, and being able to use different kinds of boards and templates such as kanban, app, or website wireframes to name a few.

What do you dislike about the product?
Probably the only feature that I am currently missing is the ability to write hidden descriptions.
With complex structures, you want them to be readable and position them in a way so that they wouldn't take up too much space. Sometimes, you want to write your own short but needed descriptions, but to do that, I occasionally have to write them into the node header.
Still, this drawback isn't very irritating, and maybe there is a solution to my problem, but I wasn't able to find it.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently, I am using Miro in the development phase of my web software project at the university. Easily managing different aspects of the project, and being able to share the progress with my supervisor is incredibly helpful.
I will certainly continue using it outside of the university as well.

The best tool i experienced so far regarding online collaboration in workshops
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy the tool is to use.
I love that it has post-its. Deon, for example, doesn't provide them at all.
I like the design & I love the prepared templates you can embed.
I also love the frames because they help me to navigate and help with presenting. That you can bring everyone to you is also a cool feature. I personally use that a lot in Workshops with external customers.
The colours are also very beautiful and I often use Icons to make my board more appealing. In general there are a lot of options to make the appearance more appealing.

What do you dislike about the product?
For me, an excellent way to embed a PowerPoint presentation is missing. I'd love to have that.
And I'd appreciate navigating Miro a little differently. Deon, for example, has the option to press the right part of the mouse to navigate more easily. That is cool. Maybe that's something you could add as an option. To navigate this ways. And I really need a good way of embedding a powerpoint
Sometimes you need to zoom in and out to see a picture again.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I do a lot of Workshops with customers inside of Miro and I also use the tool to structure the work with my team. For example, as a Kanban Board for our tasks and to organize interviews it is very useful.
The best part is to have everything on one board and overview information within a short time and without searching for documents.
What I often use are the prepared templates like something for a short retrospective.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Have a look at a few different tools, but you'll realize that the others have annoying bugs. Mural for example, is always lagging and therefore running insufficiently. Deon also has so many bugs like the problem with putting tables into it. Miro overall is the best tool you can use. Just try a few. You'll realize soon. Mural looks better but it isn't. With a paid version you can experience the most and can for exmaple lock some parts so the collaborators don't destroy the board.
Fast and extremely user friendly
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is exceptionally user-friendly. There is almost no learning curve, so I'm able to get new users up and running quickly, which saves me time in the long run. The suite of tools available is fantastic for my purposes (wireframing, creating timelines, etc.).
What do you dislike about the product?
There is very little that I dislike about Miro. If I could change one thing, it would be to customize the side toolbar. I use the wireframing library frequently and having that button instead of one of the others on the left toolbar would be helpful for me!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've done a large-scale, internal product redesign using the wireframing capabilities of Miro. I also use it to help my team concretely game plan ways that we as a company can improve.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The other big tools I've used for similar things are Figma and LucidChart. I would consider Miro more robust than Lucid, and more user-friendly than Figma.
