The app that made working from home feel less as working alone
What do you like best about the product?
Miro enabled our teams to collaborate truly, get more out of these dreaded Teams sessions and have fun. Going into lockdown for so long, we gradually lowered our expectations of what we could accomplish in brainstorms, design sprints, retrospectives, and other sessions, where genuinely working together as a team is vital. That is, until some colleagues of another department started these Miro sessions.
I have never seen a more 'aggressive demand to have a tool enabled in our relatively closed ICT environment. In no time, we were using the existing templates for all kinds of meetings and created our own. With lockdown continuing to this day, Miro has been a live saver for productivity, engagement and fun. And after lockdown, it will remain an essential part of our collaboration toolkit.

What do you dislike about the product?
The one thing nagging the most is the strict way Miro disables functionality for guests and ordinary users. We often encountered a meeting where the admin of a board was not present, and there was no way for the participants to e.g. start a timer or use other functionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro is used all over the place. As mentioned, its primary function is to facilitate meetings that have a high collaboration aspect to them. By creating specific templates we also use it for standardized meetings in our scrum workflow, like the retrospective. As a quick thought gathering 'system', we also often use a plain Miro board. The real-world sticky note approach of gathering all the collected info by taking photos of hundreds of sticky notes is also taken care of.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just start playing with it, use some of the templates and see for yourself if it works. I bet you it does :-)
Perfect tool for team collaborations (especially during remote times)
What do you like best about the product?
The most helpful features of Miro are the "following" people on the board, timer, and having specific links to the created frames. With follow functionality, I don't need to share my screen, which limits the colleagues to stick to my view the whole time. It gives them the opportunity to follow me but also roam around the board if needed. The timer feature is fantastic for timeboxing, where everyone knows exactly how much time is left (additionally, having the background music for the timer made it even more fun!). Lastly, sharing the link of a specific frame helps a lot when I work on big boards; then i can refer my colleagues to particular areas.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not too fond of the sharing functionality; somehow, it's confusing to the whole company which colleagues and group of colleagues have access to which board.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro solves the problem of remote collaborative work on ideation sessions, workshops and retrospectives. I don't know how we worked before Miro!
A life-changing app!
What do you like best about the product?
Using Miro is a true pleasure! I love how easily using stickies is and structuring information using the numerous templates. The connectors automatically adapt to the positioning of the stickies and shapes which is very convenient when creating flows. I also love how easily you can visualize files found in Google Drive links pasted in a Miro board, including pasting YouTube videos. Having access to a consultant plan is also extremely helpful! I'm a happy-paying customer and use Miro daily for everything! As a project/product manager it really has become my go-to tool daily!
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't say there is anything I dislike. Perhaps the only thing that would be cool is the ability to creating prototypes on wireframes
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I mainly use Miro for planning, diagraming, and product management for remote teams, so this tool really makes collaborating in real-time easy and fun!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't hesitate on using Miro, just make sure to train staff on how to use it, they'll learn quickly, it's a very intuitive tool!
Great collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
- Flexible and Easy to Use for Qualitative Analysis
- Effortless to plan Brainstorming Sessions here!
- Able to use it to design simple wireframes as well
- Many types of tools and easy shortcuts similar to Figma, but simplified for researchers / non-designers.
- Quite customizable
- Infinite Board Space
Above all, it takes no time for me to set up a collaborative session with teammates, who can easily and immediately pick up how to use this tool duringa brainstorming session.

Not too much help in facilitating analysis, it's more of an enabling platform to
[Display To] and [Collaborate On].
Integration isn't fully developed: I wish it could have more detailed integrations however: for example, cards should allow more types of tagging and expanded description, when trying to import data from airtable via zapier. Right now integration is quite basic. MIRO could help a lot more not just serving as a "start from scratch" platform, but one that allows you to automate import of data in more varied and flexible ways. It has incredible potential there.
Font / Color customization could be better: I find myself wanting to highlight or bold some words on a Sticky Note but it doesn't quite work the way I want it to

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using it to make and store Personas, as well as to conduct qualitative interview data analysis in a way that allows my teammates to dive into detail as well
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take a while to learn all the shortcuts - trust me, it'll become 2x an efficient and amazing tool once you pick it up.
Makes Design Thinking accessible to all, in a fast, reliable and cooperative environment.
What do you like best about the product?
Templates. Helps me a lot when starting a project. Also the number of templates being added every day. Awesome. Really helps me.
Presenting with it. The frame sidebar is a life-saver when having to present to larger groups. Wonder if I could rearrange the frames in an easier drag-n-drop way.
Having people automatically following my mouse. Sometimes, it's better to have everyone seeing what I see without sharing my screen at zoom.

What do you dislike about the product?
When using a tool, sometimes it does not go automatically to the Select Tool (V) right after using.
Makes me go click there. Feels not polished.
Pasting images, sometimes is weird, because images are pasted super small. I actually lost track of where they were pasted and pasted it again.
I know this will feel contradictory, but there are too many updates on the software shared with us when opening Miro. Feels like you're sharing too small upgrades.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
By using Miro, I've been able to spread the 'Design Thinking' word in a company that is not prepared for that.
It helps me sell the idea to stakeholders that cannot abstract enough in certain projects.
Then having them in a brainstorming session, in Miro, makes my life way easier.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think Miro is a great tool for people that already do brainstorms with an audience.
And now, in a pandemic state, we had to move to full remote. Miro is a lifesaver.
If you're considering Miro, I'd recommend taking some Brainstorm leading sessions before asking people to jump in Miro. Because it takes some time to set everything up (as does in a physical environment).
But, at the same time, I use it to create wireframes for the UX's I'm designing. It's the only platform I use these days. Does all that I need.

A very efficient, easy and seamlessly designed white boarding tool to create the best products.
What do you like best about the product?
Instant launch, detailed templates, easy collaboration and integration. Mobile app makes it easier to add an idea even in the middle of the night. Real time collaboration help work efficiently and increases workflow productivity.
What do you dislike about the product?
No downsides ideally. Just that if we had a mutiple account switching feature, it would be really helpful to manage and work more between personal and work miro accounts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating quick brainstorm boards for teams to view, edit and update instantly. One can easily share progress on idea building methods, wireframes, concepts etc. Adding media helps in comprehensively working on one single platform.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a one stop app, website, web app and anything simple which you can consider to help you start your ideas, build through the process, share in a jiffy and colaboratively grow!
Excellent for team collaborations
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to invite collaborators to a project board and work through ideas and come up with designs
What do you dislike about the product?
As an architectural professional it would be great to have a few additional tools to allow for area takeoffs and scaling, I also find the embedded ability to create data charts clunky in that they can not be adjusted for text size or colors or more complex data
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The inability to meet with clients in person- this has been an effective way to keep interactive meetings during Covid. Also, it has allowed me to continue hosting summer internships virtually by giving me somewhere to work with my students
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A great collaboration tool for both internal design work sessions and client presentations/workshops
A must for remote collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
It's a very intuitive tool — it took me very little time to learn how to use it (especially because it includes shortcuts and actions similar to those a designer performs when using the Adobe suite). The onboarding of new members is easy. And you can customize it all the way to match your (or your clients') brand guidelines.
What do you dislike about the product?
Very rarely, when we use it in research stages to share discoveries and there is a lot of visual content, video content, I have the feeling it moves a little slow. Still, it is the best tool on the market if you ask me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We deliver remote client workshops and we use it as a space to collaborate within our teams. We used it prior to 2020 too, but it's been indispensable during the pandemic. Nowadays we also use it for presentations, because it has fewer glitches than a Keynote/PPT shared on Zoom.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would choose Miro.
Everyone can become a designer with Miro.
What do you like best about the product?
The great usability to add, arrange e edit artifacts that were built in meetings and workshops. Another good thing is the possibility to create freely a big variety of objects on the big board. Maybe, the best is the simplicity.
What do you dislike about the product?
The lack of integration with Figma and the high cost for a big team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am a strategic designer and I have been using Miro as an important tool to support explanations e decision-making in several projects. Important to say that Miro brings a perfect way to become abstract concepts in something that can be visualized.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I have not found the option to lock a board with a password. I really recommend the password option or access to be used in confidential boards.
Favorite tool in my collaboration toolbox
What do you like best about the product?
Miro has enabled simultaneous interactions of all participants in training workshops with clients. That is priceless for their engagement and for me to evaluate what concepts they can apply fully.
Miro helps our internal team plan projects and streamline processes. I love being able to upload parts of spreadsheets to become editable sticky notes!

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I create connecting lines accidently, but it is easy to get rid of them with a click.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
