Powerfull and simple to use virtual white board
What do you like best about the product?
Very intuitive to use and with a lot of tools. Also, a good plethora of external integrations makes it even more helpful.
I also like the voting option, and the adition of the possibility of music during the time is also a small but great idea.
The possibility to organize several boards in projects makes it easier to navigate once we have a lot of boards.
The jira integration is great not only to create user story mappings but also to create tickets in jira after a brainstorm session or after a retro.
Another thing that I like a lot is the miroverse where we can find a lot of templates to use and also share easily our template with others.
The reply time from their support and the time to fix issues when I tried it was also very good and exceeded my expectations

What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing model is a bit expensive, although the possibility of public editing and sharing with a password helps a bit.
It also tends to be a bit more hungry and doesn't cope well when you have too many small elements in one boards, making it rather sluggish

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used it mostly for team collaboration, visual facilitation, asynchronous communication and visual note-taking.
It allows for good team collaboration and everyone is at ease working with it.
It helped quite a lot facilitating remote meetings since it made visible what we where talking about

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use first the free version to try it out. There's also a trial version that allows us to experiment the paid features.
If you plan to use it with huge whitboards with a lot of small objects be sure that your PC has 16 Gb of memory

Extremely versatile piece of kit
What do you like best about the product?
It's incredibly easy to collaborate on pages with your team, which is great for me because my startup is made up of my two co-founders and I; they both live in Birmingham while I live in London. It has also helped me to map out the key priorities for me as head of the business. It's great to have an infinite amount of space to work with to help get everything out of my head and down in front of me!
What do you dislike about the product?
There are probably a lot of great use cases for Miro which haven't been highlighted enough. If they were then I could stop using other tools and bring more of the companies operations into one place.
Another thing that I dislike is that some of the templates aren't flexible enough. For example, the mind map template is a little bit clunky when trying to organize all the different strands of the map. You can't make the subject of a strand very close to that of another strand and you end up with a mind map which is very spaced out.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're a remote start-up (we all work in different locations), so Miro has made it possible for us to collaborate and plan out long-term strategies without needing to be in the same room. Having this kind of flexibility is so crucial in the modern environment, and I've not found a tool that has helped us to collaborate more than Miro.

Make sure you make the most of it and look through all the templates for inspiration on how to best use the tool!
Intuitive and versatile whiteboard solution
What do you like best about the product?
I like the flexibility of Miro. It has proven very useful in running and documenting workshops, making todo-lists, visualizing and analyzing qualitative research data etc. I also like the fact that it's easy to import stuff from other software (like excel). If you need to use it with people who are not familiar with it, it's pretty easy to get started too, so no big introductions needed. FOrmatting is easy and the UI general has a very nice balance in terms of extensiveness and simplicity.
What do you dislike about the product?
For me, more extensive exporting functionalities would be very beneficial. However, so far I've been able to make workarounds to manage this. I would also like a bit more AI to the use logic, where the solution would analyze the patterns I'm making in terms of formatting, so that I would not need to conduct so much manual formatting. Further, when you have a very high amount of users on a single board (we use it to run over 150 student university courses for example), things can get messy pretty quickly. More options in terms of determining user rights would be useful here. Also, things can get difficult if you are a member in many teams in different organizations (under different licenses basically). Then you have to manually enter passwords etc., which gets pretty cumbersome fast.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro helps in dealing with the lack of f2f interaction that we're experiencing right now due to covid. It's been great for research activities but also teaching. We use it to work with companies, in our internal project work I'm pretty sure we'll keep using it when things get to normal. Digital whiteboarding is here to stay.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
My general advice would be to just try it out if you have any tasks that relate to running virtual workshops or thinking visually.
Miro is the new trace for designers
What do you like best about the product?
Miro lets me sketch with my colleagues, it is better than sketching on trace because we can literally sketch in the same place. The only limiting factor is the size of my pen tablet. I can also leave notes for them when they are not around, with pictures or whatever is useful for giving feedback.
What do you dislike about the product?
Miro can be a little slow, especially when I am sketching and am making a lot of little lines quickly. It can also get slow when the board is full of lots of images.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My teams are able to sketch while working from home! It keeps all of our sketches in one place. I can see what everyone is working on. It is easier to save sketches for referring to later.
Excellent and Easy to use tool for collaboration and communication
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is my go-to collaboration tool for pretty much any collaboration as it enables our team to effectively communicate our thoughts and ideas through visualisation. It has plenty of useful features for workshops (think all the basics plus timer and voting - my favourites ), integrates with a large number of modern tools and comes with a great collection of templates. I love that I have the information I need in one place, and never lose anything.
I started using Miro about 7 months ago and now I use it every day. Super easy to learn and use, their Youtube Channel has plenty of tutorials.

What do you dislike about the product?
So far there's nothing I don't like about Miro.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Strategic direction workshops, planning and estimating in the software development context, brainstorming for educational workshops and Process mapping to name a few.
Miro acilitates communication and collaboration through visualisation.

The Perfect Collaboration Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Many things:
- Ease of use
- Many templates to choose from, saving huge amounts of time for the administrator of the "event"
- Viewing other cursors (brings a feeling of collaboration for a remote team)
- Pricing seems fair, unlike some tools that charge more for the same kind of features
- Simple tools available for getting started immediately, and extensive features for those who want to dig deeper and get the most out of the tool
- Specifically, I like the ability to create mockups of Web Applications using the wireframe
- Sticky notes!
- Commenting on other people's work, which again helps collaboration

What do you dislike about the product?
Not much:
- The default scrolling is extremely annoying because it's "click-and-drag". Scrolling around the page using a trackpad is far more intuitive and easy.
- It took me a while to work out how to change navigation settings
- This could be from my own limited knowledge of the tool and not necessarily an issue for others

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro brings collaboration back, and dare I say it, I believe this tool is easier to use than to work together in person!
Having worked collaboratively in person and also through Miro, I greatly appreciate the ability to work in the exact same space without getting in someone else's way. Physically, I had to stand in line to move sicky notes around, but with Miro, it's magic!

Awesome tool to colaborate with team members in meetings
What do you like best about the product?
Miro has helped me share my ideas much more straightforwardly when I have meetings with my team members. This tool provides so many features that allow us to convey our thoughts in a shared board, which humans find naturally to share.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not that I don't like, but it would be great if this tool can be integrated with MS Teams, so we can start drawing when having meetings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro allows me to share my thoughts much more straightforward by drawing and sketching, so that gathering software requirement is much more efficient.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I checked different tools that allow me to share my ideas quickly, but this one won first place with all its features; now, it is much easier for me to convey my thoughts with my peers at work.
Encouraging teamwork with Miro
What do you like best about the product?
Firstly, Miro offers a user-friendly, accesible, and intuitive interface with a real customization possibility. You can encourage your team's creativity, engagement, and organization. The templates available from Miro are handy, but the opportunity to use the community-developed templates ensures a much richer experience. Also, I notice that some companies are starting to look differently at people who are used to using this tool, this encourages the use of the community, and more and more interesting templates created by the community are added and make our day-to-day work easier. When you bring this new tool to your team, clearly you will see an excitement for being something new with an intense world of possibilities.
What do you dislike about the product?
The possibility of undoing some action when using Miro in real-time with teammates still creates a bit of confusion in my team. I believe that the initial tutorial could be improved too, given that precisely because the tool has a huge range of possibilities. When some people on my team saw that many buttons and options she can get scared at first, so I myself created a tutorial a little more detailed than Miro's standard tutorial. It's worth the effort to create internal training for your team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our primary function is the control through kanban, being a fundamental tool for our sprints. In this regard, we had greater adherence to this tool than those used previously. In addition, some creation and ideation dynamics, such as brainstorming, bring greater team participation than when we used the whiteboard in the room. Another unforeseen use was in the onboard process for new employees, in which we apply specific dynamics.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
As I said, it is very worthwhile to create internal training focused on the tools you will use the most because the vast amount of possibilities can make your team get scared or lose focus.
Whiteboarding virtually with Miro is better than whiteboarding in person.
What do you like best about the product?
I love how it creates a hive mind between our team. I love how easy it is to copy and paste screenshots. I really enjoy the icon finder to help with visual storytelling. I love all of the user generated template content.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not being able to add images or files to my clipboard is annoying. (Copy and paste images/files out of one of my boards to my clipboard to use somewhere else)
I know you can download it but it adds a lot of steps and isn't the best UX for me.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly the worshipping that we would be doing in person as a team can be done virtually.
We use it a lot to collaborate on the fly when designing websites/experiences.

If your team has ever used a whiteboard, you'll like Miro.
Engagement Boost with Intuitive Design
What do you like best about the product?
I like Miro's design and the way they constantly implement new features. I find value in the community around Miro, which offers lots of different widgets, tools, and templates that I can use. I appreciate that they are always evolving. Learning from the community's templates and creating my own helps me structure my knowledge and build a library for future workshops and scenarios.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's one thing that sometimes doesn't work well: when new participants join my board during a webinar, especially if they have never used Miro before. Although they don't need to register, sometimes Miro prompts them to register, which can confuse them. They get lost and don't know what to do, so they can't enter. This creates some frustration at the beginning.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro to keep remote participants engaged and create artifacts during virtual workshops, allowing them to have something tangible to refer back to.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I have started to use Miro with its free plan and it was then when I realized that I can use it for my business. So using it for free gives the taste of the platform.
