Real-time collaboration powerhouse for strategy sessions and client engagement
What do you like best about the product?
Miro has transformed how our team collaborates, especially for stand-up meetings and client engagement sessions where real-time collaboration is essential. Everyone can contribute simultaneously, which makes brainstorming and strategy sessions incredibly productive. The prototyping feature is particularly handy for our design work. What really sets Miro apart is the comprehensive engagement toolkit - features like the timer, voting system, and presentation mode keep sessions focused and interactive. It's packed with everything you need to run effective collaborative workshops, whether your team is distributed across different locations or working together in the same room. The ability to access and continue working on boards from anywhere means our ideas and progress are never locked to a physical location.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some features could be fleshed out more. The document functionality would benefit from more formatting options and proper table support. While the grid function in Frames is useful, it can sometimes mess up the positioning of elements when toggled. Overall these are minor issues compared to what the platform offers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro solves the challenge of collaborating over long distances during high-intensity brain activity like strategy mapping, customer journey workshops, and planning sessions. Even when teams are in the same room, having an interactive digital board is incredibly handy - you don't need to drag whiteboards around or worry about photographing notes before they're erased. The ability to access any whiteboard session from anywhere, at any time, means our strategic work is always available for reference and iteration. It's become our central hub for visual thinking, from sales funnels and customer journeys to production processes and organisational charts. Everything stays in one logical, visualised place that the whole team can access and contribute to.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It will be hard when thinking about what to put on the Miro board initially. I would recommend starting with the simplest chart as Sales Funnel or Customer Journey of a particular product.
Mirro is a great, intuitive, tool for our company to quickly collaborate.
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ability to be able to not only share my boards with others from my company but also the ability to be able to work together remotely on the same boards—amazing connectivity when it comes to working with a team to document processes or create workflows.
What do you dislike about the product?
If I have to choose something I dislike, it would be the template selection. It doesn't match the variety of template selections from Excel (not the same types, I know but just as an example). Excel tends to have whatever template I could want to use Excel for, but when it comes to Mirror, they don't always have an excellent match for something I'd like to do within Mirro.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Documenting process flows. This has been the most helpful tool I've used to document process flows and be able to share them across the company for when we are thinking of implementing changes. I've also used this Mirro to create value stream maps and address waste within processes.
Change Management facilitation
What do you like best about the product?
The versatility and user friendliness of Miro. The Miro verse is a great library that saves me tonnes of hours of preparation for complex processes. All the trainings and processes with facilitation guides makes it worth a lot more than other whiteboard tools.
The integration to a wide variety of systems such as Trello and Teams is a helpful addition.
I have ensured that Miro is used enterprise wide at my company, and we are happy with the strong encryption.

What do you dislike about the product?
The table function is lacking a lot of functionality. If it could do filtering and simultaneous changes while not moving the table around it would be a lot more useful. Coloring columns and rows to make it easier to navigate more complex tables will also help a lot.
I would like a change setting where the boards are locked for everyone else than me. Then I can always change formatting, but no one else.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Change management in hybrid projects, using Miro to engage my project teams in all the relevant change management tools I have built up.
I'm using it for creating templates to our teams on how to collaborate better.
I'm using miro to support any project I work on, solving problems using Design thinking methods.
I'm conducting Retrospectives with various teams.
I'm doing ice breakers.
And a lot more.
All of what I'm doing makes online collaboration a lot more valuable, ensuring that I always reach a strong outcome that can be shared right away.

If you are a tech company then Miro is a great system because of the integration to many relevant systems for agile work.
The enterprise solution gives the best security of the larger whiteboard solutions.

Miro, an incredible tool for collaboration in learning processes
What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility, one of the characteristics of a board, lies in the ability to offer multiple environments in the same space, this is something you can do with Miro. You can define what each team member sees who participates in a learning process. It allows this to be fluid and guided. Additionally, with all the templates available, you can create any type of session.
What do you dislike about the product?
For now, only the fact that after building a set of slides, being able to reuse them in other sessions (it may be because I haven't yet learned some of their features that serve for this). I think creating templates would solve it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The dynamic interaction among all participants in a session allows me to see what everyone is doing. They can exchange information among themselves and with the facilitator. I can use it to leave some kind of assignment, and they can access it whenever they are able to.
The multi-tool of collaborative software
What do you like best about the product?
If I ever have a thought that I cannot work out how to express, I know that I can start brain-dumping into Miro, and I will easily be able to rearrange and refine my thoughts into something clear and easily shareable. As a product manager, having access to so many different templates is invaluable; I am all for re-using concepts that others have found helpful, and Miro has a brilliant way to make this easy. I enjoy using Miro to work with colleagues in real-time and asynchronously; it's a very powerful tool to capture people's ideas and to enable a group of people to work through concepts together to reach a solution. I'm also a sucker for making diagrams pretty or fun so being able to search an extensive icon library or simply copy-paste images into Miro means I can do this in no time at all, and I don't feel like I am spending time on frivolous things. There are so many good things about using Miro that it's actually hard to keep this to a reasonable length! I find creating flow diagrams in Miro so intuitive, the same is true with mind maps. There is an extensive capacity for formatting in this tool, enabling me to make even complex diagrams clear and even attractive. Frames are a great way to separate information into digestible chunks while still keeping it within the same board and making it so easy to present or share with others. Exporting images in different sizes is so useful, and I have used it so many times. I have both professional and personal accounts because I find Miro invaluable in both aspects of my life. There are so many other joy-inducing features, and I can't begin to express how sad I would be if I couldn't use this product.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be very easy to create too many boards and split content across different locations, causing confusion and duplication. It is also incredibly easy to put too much content in one place which doesn't belong in one location. I think both of these issues are the same with things like wikis and filesystems as well, and it's as much about the users as it is the tool. I wish that I could add more icons into the library because I do often find that I don't quite have the one I want, but equally, if there are too many for a specific search term, then they can be hard to sort through - perhaps a different method for finding them would help.
It can be hard to tell who has added content to a board, such as post-it notes, as the tool is so collaborative that anyone can change anything. The purple highlighting to say what has changed between accesses is something that I don't find helpful generally although I do like to know who has been changing things and what they have touched, it's usually too much and makes it so that all I can see is purple, so I just turn it off. I would like there to be a better way to assign post-it notes to individuals for things like retros/workshops etc, so that you can see who created them in perpetuity.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Understanding complex user journeys, frameworks, creating product canvases, business cases, visualising roadmaps, unpicking assumptions about so many different areas of the business.
Better collaboration and communication.
Quicker resolution of challenges.
Creation of straightforward diagrams enabling us to save time and thus money.

Miro allowed us to collaborate and sync effectively while we work remotely
What do you like best about the product?
It is relatively easy to create templates and organize workshops that empower the engagement of the participants. It often serves as the "history" of how decisions were made and used to develop drafts of roadmaps and timelines.
Miro is also an excellent tool when it comes to retrospectives and feedback sessions. It is extremely helpful that many templates are available to use.

What do you dislike about the product?
While working inside a new board is straightforward, organizing your work has a lot of room for improvement. We use miro as a company and I am able to create a space for my own team using the project section. Nevertheless, after a year I have created more than 50 boards and I would have created at least 50% more if there was a sufficient way to organize boards inside a project. That it would allow me to create cleaner and more targeted boards.
While I enjoy the in-Miro calls feature, it is necessary to have the ability to use blur background since it is the standart in similar tools and working from home has proven challenging for many people.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to brainstorm, plan and sync with my colleagues on different topics using different types of workshops and setups. We are also able to run design sprints entirely remotely. Design sprints are very challenging, but we managed to set them up in Miro, and I could honestly say that the experience of the participant and
their engagement increased.

Miro is a necessary tool for jobs which require thinking and collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Endless possibilities to use all sorts of schemes, roadmaps, mindmaps, and so on. For nearly every task where I need to think of something miro have a specific tool
Furthermore, I like a lot of details like labels, reactions to stickers which helps to be more precise
And of course, it's collaboration tools that help our team move much faster, especially these days with fully remote operations. I like to use frames and share a specific field on a board with my teammates

What do you dislike about the product?
The desktop client could be better, I struggle that I couldn't move bar tabs as in regular browsers
Free account is limited, for example, I would like to use miro for my personal tasks but I have only a few boards. On the other hand, I wouldn't collaborate on these boards as it's my personal ones. So it'd be better if miro allow full free access for personal use, as notion did already

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro helps to structure the process of thinking, be more consistent and logical - think of a problem, of possible solutions
we also use it to make roadmaps and collaborate around it with the team – miro's tools are agile enough to meet our everchanging needs

Try free version to understand whether it fit your needs, but don't stop on simple tasks miro become more useful as you learn new tips and tricks
Great collaboration tool for a changing workplace
What do you like best about the product?
Quickly create shared workspace for our design team. Images and info can quickly be loaded and arranged to share in real time. Used as a main source of tracking all design work through the project.
What do you dislike about the product?
The drawing and sketching tools could be better. A lot of work is markup of images and drawings and it's not the best for this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
While most of our design team (architecture) has been able to return to the office, we still need to share information across workplaces and while working at home. During presentations its great to refer to the miro broad and even upload now information to it during a meeting in real time. Also a great cateloging tool to show all the work that has been done over the course of a project.
Excellent collaboration tool supporting virtual teams and hybrid working
What do you like best about the product?
Participation has increased with using the tool as I think people find it easier to submit ideas electronically and it can also be totally anonymous. As a facilitator I love the fact that the post it notes are typed and can be read easily! It's so much more efficient having this electronically to start with and the ability to organise themes without the concern of running out of wallspace! The tool enables you to keep everything you've captured visible at all times to everyone and the ability for everyone to participate at the same time is priceless and works seamlessly.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm struggling to find any issues with the tool. Most of the issues I have had using the tool have either been because of user errors or connectivity issues from our own internal networks - not Miro issues at all! I've given a 9 and not a 10 because I still think there's a certain amount of pre-work needed to get people to the point that they can collaborate virtually - it doesn't suit all situations so it depends on the scenario.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work in a virtual team with global team members on business transformation projects - using a tool like Miro enables us to collaborate effectively and share ideas, model them and work on them over a period of time. It's like having the meeeting room all set up and left with everything on the wall, ready to go in next time. Nothing is lost. The tool is so easy to use and we now have confidence using it - the main benefit is that now we are moving to hybrid working, we don't have to worry about scheduling workshops around when people are going to be in the office - we've proven the concept and it works.
Great for people who have a hard time organizing their thoughts! (ADHD friendly)
What do you like best about the product?
I love that the different boards are created with specific organizational needs in mind. There's always a board that will work best for a particular project. It's also super user-friendly by helping with alignments and the tools follow your clicks rather than being locked at the top of the page. It helps me know what I'm editing.
What do you dislike about the product?
It took me a while to decide which board to use. I ended up using the board that looked the easiest to use rather than what may have been the better board for what I needed to do. I got a little frustrated with some boards because I couldn't figure out how to use them. I may have been asked if I wanted a tutorial on how to use it, and I clicked out of it,
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am an extremely disorganized person. I have severe ADHD, and my desk is always covered in sticky notes and full pages of writing that I never look at again. Miro helps me keep my thoughts and processes organized, they turn the full pages of writing and sticky notes into structured and concrete thoughts that I can connect to one another.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
In this remote world, Miro is a great tool for team collaboration without being face-to-face. I've been able to review work from my peers at ease and on my own time, as well as been able to effectively communicate my work to my peers in a way that is organized and tidy with the different editing and alignment tools Miro offers.
