Great for every step of systems development and maintenance - from ideation to documentation!
What do you like best about the product?
I used it (still do, but slightly less often now) for most of my engineering needs - from product or feature design to documentation-grade graphics.
- it provides an excellent balance between simplicity and feature-richness. In team brain-stormings, I can build out the complete logic/architecture of the new project/feature or a mind-map in a real-time collaborative setting
- I'm not a UI design guru, but can drop a few boxes together into a convenient visualisation in Miro before the product designers go and disappear for a week in Figma :)
- took me a while to change the mindset from academic powerpoint, but once I did, presenting boards in Miro live started being very intuitive and effective!

What do you dislike about the product?
Not much, some aspects of the formatting do not seem optimal to me (margins in text boxes, text size autoscaling, things like that) but otherwise nothing to complain about.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
See what I like best section. But to reiterate:
- service diagram drafts
- brainstorming mindmaps
- documentation-grade diagrams once fully worked out
- quick UI sketches
- all of that in collab
- I'm not a huge fan, but my colleagues love the integration with JIRA a lot!

Most powerful and friendly tool for distributed teams
What do you like best about the product?
- Intuitive interface and exceptional flexibility — you can easily visualize every flow and process in a few minutes
- Team collaboration tools suitable for almost every agenda: roadmap presentation, UX workshop, async collaboration on research mapping, engineering brainstorm, retrospective session, etc.
- An excellent set of ready-made templates, including well-known and popular cases and frameworks + Miroverse library with relevant content from other Miro fans
- Continuous development of functionality and captivating (but not intrusive) update messages
- Annual conference that touches on important topics such as cross-team communication in the era of distributed teams and products — always inspirational

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes we need to divide the participants into groups and provide each group a separate "room" — a dedicated area on a common board — where they could work with content separately from others. The only function I'm missing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In fact, every process within the product cycle — creating and maintaning roadmaps, product discovery techniques, documentation and concepts visualization, regular agile meetings and many more — has sparkled with new colors since we started using Miro. It's extremely efficient tool nowadays since we all had to switch to the new work culture where we combine in-house and remote work mode, syncronous and asyncronous communication, transparency and flexibility.
Miro had lifted my Polish language classes to the next level!
What do you like best about the product?
I am a teacher who owns and run Into Language, a small school providing Polish language classes to foreigners. Miro has helped me enormously to deliver the best possible online classes when, due to pandemic, we could no longer conduct those lessons in person. There are a lot of things I really like. It's super easy to use, both for teachers to prepare and run classes, and for students to connect, learn and even do homework, all in one place. We do not need to spend too much time on training and onboarding. We do not need to use another tool for video calls. We can add various multimedia (photos, videos, pdfs) which makes our lessons more interesting and interactive, plus allow us to avoid disruptive tap/window hopping during the class. It simply makes our school look more professional and impress our students and clients (even companies from IT sector). Thanks, Miro team :)
What do you dislike about the product?
Performance sometimes could be better. But is still very good :)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Described above! ^^^
Miro feels like the next step we need on our 21th century way of working.
What do you like best about the product?
What feels best about miro is that I can have a wide range of work I can do. During day time, I can facilitate workshops with colleagues, run design reviews, etc. But at night I can sit down and use miro for my illustration projects and use the platform in a whole different way.
What do you dislike about the product?
What troubles me about miro is performance. I've seen miro used by 300 people in a row, the sight wasn't pretty, and I can forgive that. But I've also seen it used by a team of five, and we all complained about the performace as well. When doing personal projects, I use a lot of images uploaded to miro, and I usually start the desktop app some twenty minutes before I get to work so that I can avoid any issues loading the photos.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My team started using miro as soon as the pandemic began. We used to write our workshops and group dynamics on a post-it and paste them on our meeting room glass walls; good times, then, but it was slow work, and a lot of information went missing. Miro began as a tool to replace the physical workshop experience but stayed due to how easier it made our lives.
As to my personal illustration projects, I use miro as a reference wall. It's a place where I bring each and every picture (usually from Pinterest) I'll be using on my next drawing. When it's freelance work, I can also bring my contractor to a miro board and facilitate a workshop with them--get them to review or co-create something alongside me.

Best Collaboration tool and a Virtual Classroom
What do you like best about the product?
As an independent trainer and consultant, I use Miro as a virtual classroom. I can hang a lot of virtual posters, I can whiteboard concepts just the way I would do it in a physical setting. Every experience I use to provide for my students in person, except for food and caffeine I can provide with Miro.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes a lot of time to load up. When you are using it with Single Signon in the organization, I have to type in the entire user name before it redirects me to the log-in page for my organization's single sign-on.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro for teaching and helping my students collaborate. I also use Miro as a tool for team launches, icebreakers, and design thinking workshops. When I am learning, I create Mind maps to keep track of my learning. I am thinking of launching an App, I am already starting to use it for Storyboarding.
My Initial Review of Miro.com
What do you like best about the product?
Online collaboration, many available templates, plenty of tutorials, consultant pricing option.
What do you dislike about the product?
Extreme polar opposite ratings are found elsewhere.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Online visual team collaboration.
Way beyond my expectations
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is Extremely flexible, intuitive, and cool to use. My initial goal was to facilitate brainstorming and Mind mapping processes, but during my initial experience, I was able to use it to manage meetings, to capture concepts, and even was my base to plan a trip with a level of detail I never expected.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have not used the multiple user licenses extensively, and such a process is not clear to me. It is not clear whether the participants in my group handle their separate, own dashboards, and I still need to learn how collaboration/privacy works to offer a better concept. Still, I am in a learning phase.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mind Mapping, Tracking Meetings, and I am starting to use it to conceptualize and execute projects. As I mentioned, it has already been beneficial to me to plan a personal trip!
Best all-around work tool!
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using Miro for over a year since we moved to a work-from-home setup. I absolutely love using and find it essential for all types of work that I do. As a student leader who is also taking internships on the side, Miro has become my go-to work tool for both school and work, especially since I am pursuing Research. Not only does it help me organize my data and thoughts better, but I am also able to utilize it for quick and easy collaboration with my peers and co-workers. Work has never been easier with Miro.
What do you dislike about the product?
With how I utilize Miro, I don't see any downsides to it. I am able to work with other people on one board, and export boards later on. At the moment, Miro has everything that I would need for it to do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a UX Designer and Researcher, I mostly use Miro for collating and analyzing data that I gather. In the same way that I would use a physical whiteboard and sticky notes in person, Miro makes this more convenient and accessible from anywhere. Being able to archive my boards also prove to be very useful as I could always just come back to them in the future without starting from scratch.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It has a small learning curve when you first get started, but once you get the hang of it, the possibilities of Miro are limitless.
Miro is truly a creative hero but not for presentations
What do you like best about the product?
The most remarkable upside about Miro is that it has a solution known as Miroverse which contains hundreds and thousands of pre-made templates that users can simply choose from to create infographics, visual diagrams, processes, and plans. What makes it more remarkable is its limitless digital canvas that allows users to make almost anything they think up.
What do you dislike about the product?
The dislike part of Miro is that it is not the right tool for creating beautiful and powerful presentations with smooth transitions. Another significant disadvantage is its poor formatting and layouts, which can be annoying for users who do not want to capture frames before downloading any visuals.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The average experience with Miro has been both helpful and annoying. Being able to brainstorm, ideate, and collaborate with the team members freely has been super beneficial. At the same time, too many unnecessary features and a limited knowledge base of Miro have been its downside.
Excellent White Boarding and Collaboration Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Miro makes it easy to whiteboard over the internet. Everyone in my office has been working from home due to COVID restrictions, and we have been looking for tools to help us collaborate online. Miro is the best tool we've found so far. We use it for brainstorming sessions, design review sessions, product interviews, and more. This tool has a lot of functionality the more I dig into it. It can be as straightforward or as complex as you want. It's effortless to join a new Miro session and start working together right away.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike how it forces me to walk through the tool every time I start a new session. Lately, whenever I join a Miro session, there's a host of popups and unskippable walk through guides I must look at before I can start using the product. I am not sure what triggers these, but they can be very annoying and get in the way of quickly dropping in a collab session.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Whiteboarding over the internet, collaborating with coworkers online, brainstorming sessions, interviews, and more.
