My meetings are 100x more productive (and fun) with Miro
What do you like best about the product?
I love the templates. They've actually taught me new brainstorming techniques and given me ideas on how to run my meetings. Also, the UI is slick, clean and a joy to use. Much prefer it to Mural.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really want a private workspace! I know you can technically make boards private by not sharing them, but I'd prefer a dedicated space for them. Every time I make a board, I'm thinking "is someone going to stumble upon these shitty half-baked ideas by accident?".
Also, I don't love that I have to be redirected to a browser to see all the templates. When I was browsing the template gallery, I almost missed the CTAs at the bottom: "Discover more Miro templates" and "Explore community templates", which made me think you didn't have any more. Basically, I'd like to see all your categories within the template selector, without having to leave the tab.
Lastly, I don't like that you have to type in peoples' emails if I want to give them editing access to the board. I want to be able to give everyone at the company editing access through the "anyone with the link can..." dropdown. Right now, I can only let people comment or view, which is a bit annoying.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I don’t just use Miro as a dumping ground for existing ideas—I use it to spark entirely new ideas.
I'm new to running brainstorming sessions, so I rely on Miro's templates to inspire me. I'm confident that my meetings and brainstorming sessions would be way less productive without Miro.
Miro also helps me organize my own thoughts and conjure up new ones. I'm not a designer, I'm a writer, so I always assumed my brain digested words better than shapes. But Miro's easy-breezy interface has opened up a new world of visual brainstorming that's never been accessible to me, a non-visual person with zero design skills.

Great Collaborative Tool for designers and non designers
What do you like best about the product?
The thing that I like the most about Miro is its simplicity. The design is user friendly, which means that colleagues that are not designers, feel comfortable using the tool and are not intimidated at all. It's interface is user friendly and has very cool features like adding tunes or voting.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am struggling to think about what I dislike. I probably would say that normally when you select templates, the preview looks very nice from a design perspective and once it is converted in the Miro board it does not look as pretty.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am enhancing collaboration, promoting transparency in the company and a place that is easy to access.
An indispensable, unique, workflow-essential diagramming tool
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is a best-in-class tool for collaborative whiteboarding. As a software product manager, I use this tool extensively for analyzing business logic, transactional flows, technical architecture, and process maps. It can also be used for lightweight wireframing. Miro has had an incredible impact on my ability to communicate creative ideas to teammates from across functions – engineering, design, and operations/business. It's just really indispensable and I recommend it for all product managers.
What do you dislike about the product?
My only downside is that Miro's user experience for announcing new features in-product is a tad aggressive (a modal that comes up over the whiteboard). I wish it were more in the background.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Clarifying data models; clarifying business logic; clarifying system and software architecture design; user journey and user persona mapping; thinking through edge cases.
The best solution for collaborative meetings
What do you like best about the product?
Connected to many other tools that we use (Jira, Google docs). Makes it actionable.
Simplified Screen captures of any URL
The new meeting feature completes the solution for any type of meetings now.

What do you dislike about the product?
If you create a lot of different boards like me, your account looks like a mess very soon.
I'd love to have other ways than folders to organize my space. Tags for instance would be useful.
I'd also love a 'master' feature. Like in Power point. Change the layout on the master and the changes applies everywhere.

Without MIRO there would be no remote culture
What do you like best about the product?
There are so many things; where do I start? I love that MIRO allows you to collaborate virtually with anyone on your team. It lets us "get in front of a whiteboard" and put all our thoughts out there for planning sessions. I also love that the mobile app is so robust! It is so easy to work on the go. Well done to the engineering/product teams. MIRO is fun.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice to archive some old boards. Not necessarily delete them but archive them in case we want to reference them at a later time. Other than that, I really am loving my experience!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are doing everything in MIRO to execute the vision of our startup. Everything from marketing, product development, business strategy, value alignment, team bonding, etc. is in MIRO.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Create projects early on because it helps the team stay organized.
Great tool for collaboration, ideation and visualization
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is easy to use and there is a wide variety of tools available. Sharing options fit our needs and it is an excellent tool for ideation, roadmap creation, brainstorming, and design of processes. It is essential for our Product and Engineering teams. There are many practical, pre-built templates, and the Miroverse offers even more options. The community around Miro is also great.
What do you dislike about the product?
We would use Miro even more if it would be easier to integrate the results from a Miro board to our agile delivery or Roadmap tools. We can link entire boards easily, but for example, creating a Ticket on a Miro board could automatically connect to an item in other tools (we are using Targetprocess), but it is not available yet. The wireframing solution in Miro is helpful but feels limited now, we have better solutions for low-fidelity wireframing. I find the Note section of boards useful for meetings, but the functionalities are a bit limited. It would be great to easily link this to other systems, documents, schedules, etc. There were some enhancements to diagramming, but I would still like more pre-built items tailored for Engineering (e.g. displaying entity relations). Overall it is still a very good solution though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest problems it solves for us are ideation and brainstorming across departments, visualizing business models, roadmaps, OKRs, displaying processes and flows and capturing ideas around solution architecture.
Incredible product for a range of uses
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate the flexibility of Miro - both in terms of its use (from individual brainstorming to sharing interactive slides) and in terms of its tools (sticky notes, shapes, text, arrow types, etc.) With the various tools available, Miro makes it easy to see the most important ones and not get lost in the clutter. They are responsive to their customers and are constantly adding trainings and tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can sometimes be difficult to onboard folks who are not familiar with using online interactive tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro has helped us organize our thinking about complex projects, map processes with clients, reflect on our own processes, and keep track of loose ideas in a structured way.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out for a few different uses to familiarize yourself with the tools. Keep challenging yourself to try one new thing.
Still the most useful tool I use!
What do you like best about the product?
How intuitive it is. I love the different ways that you can present information and share information.
I've used it for work - for collaboration AND for personal stuff with house renovations etc. It does take a bit of getting used to in terms of controls (especially if you started on a Mac and then move to Windows but they keep updating the controls so it's definitely got better).
There's something about Mural that I don't quite like and haven't taken to tbh.

What do you dislike about the product?
Probably that it's geared towards Mac users first and Windows users second (just with the use of a trackpad etc).
Maybe some better testing on different devices and set-ups .

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration for sure. Collating information in one place that isn't a word document or hidden file somewhere.
Really like being able to add people to a board and having them be able to see the information.

In a time of remote teams and meetings, this is a must have.
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, relatively simple to understand for new starters, this tool includes an interactive whiteboard, sticky notes, possibilities for presentation, interactive discussions (with camera), voting on topics, timing, and so much more. It is, IMHO, a fantastic tool for team meetings as well as decision makings. I use it for teaching as well as for interactive workshops, usually in combination with a tool like Zoom, MS Teams, or others.
What do you dislike about the product?
A standard, quick video explaining how to use the tool would be useful for first-time users. I have created my own to explain it, but I'm sure the Miro team could do a better one :-)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For some 25 years, I have been lecturing and facilitating workshops in public. When I started, we used sheets of plastic and an overhead projector, then we moved on to tools like PowerPoint and others. Today, since the 2020 pandemic, we live in a world where more (everything?) needs to be done online - this means that flipcharts, whiteboards, and face-to-face interaction has dropped off and needs to be replaced with something providing the same facilities as being in the same conference room. That is where Miro comes in, bringing team work firmly into the next phase of life.
Customised space to work and create
What do you like best about the product?
I love how I can create customized designs according to my needs. I also love the available ready-made templates, and I can use them if I don't know where I want to begin.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not much I dislike about the website. I like all the features. My manager and I also used the video call feature, which was very clear, and it was pretty surprising.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am editing a framework for our pre-existing online course, and I present the data that was already there and add to it as needed. So, I need a lot of flexibility.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Voting icons can be more significant. They're hard to be seen sometimes.
I still haven't found the reason why I cannot use my desktop app. It wasn't easy to use, so I had postponed it to some other time when I was free.
