The easiest online whiteboard
What do you like best about the product?
I can run a remote workshop with people who are entirely new to using an online whiteboard. Miro is intuitive to use, so we don't waste time on getting the hang of the technology.
Unlike a physical whiteboard, I never run out of room - the ideas can just keep on coming!
I love the template library - lots of good inspiration there.

What do you dislike about the product?
The cost for a couple of users is really accessible, but when you have larger teams, it can get pricey. The control of guest users can be a bit frustrating at times. Miro encourages guests to sign up, and then I have to remove them again in order to manage my subscription costs.
Sometimes it's easy for inexperienced guests to move around background items, like table grids, which can quickly get messy. You can lock them, but guests sometimes manage to unlock them. It would be great to be able to lock items permanently to anyone except the creator.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro as a whiteboard while working with people in different locations.
I tend to use it in customer experience work, e.g., journey mapping, empathy mapping.
It's handy for delivering training exercises too.

The go-to tool for anything visual in remote teams and presentations.
What do you like best about the product?
We use Miro in many different ways in the company. It is excellent as a collaborative whiteboard on our meetings with our mainly remote staff to quickly share ideas. I use it also as a presentation tool where I can sketch the concepts and then take the others along my thought process with follow me feature. Its simple yet powerful set of primitives are usually fine for most of our needs, but there are always plugins and extensions when needed. One can add almost anything with drag and drop. Last but not least, comments can be added anywhere, which makes refining anything to be presented to the client very easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's simplicity means it's not the best tool for complex drawings like UML or circuit diagrams, there are better tools for that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The most common use cases we use Miro for are shared whiteboard during meetings, collaborative presentations creating, and UX/UI sketching. But over time, it has become the go-to tool for anything visual. For us, it has completely replaced vector drawing programs, Powerpoint, UI sketching tools, and we even use it for planning and scrum on smaller projects.
Best co-working tool to organize team brainstorming
What do you like best about the product?
- Stable and fluid experience even with relatively large number of people on the platform
- Mind-mapping tools and pre-set templates to organize different discussions
- Lots of extensions - especially the Figma plugin
- Ability to play music during the brainstorming timers

What do you dislike about the product?
- Need a team to truly get the most of Miro
- Locking objects is not very intuitive and takes time getting used to

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Can imagine a future where remote work is truly possible because of Miro (and gets better if you own an iPad)
- Free brainstorming discussions where we can collaborate together

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Explore if you can access Miro through partnerships with accelerators etc. or through the personal plan to understand if its right for you and your team. It's truly best if you can experience Miro with a team. It gets better once you learn how to use frames and lock objects so people don't inadvertently move things around.
Next level collaboration tool !
What do you like best about the product?
That you can collaborate in realtime just like in a rooms
What do you dislike about the product?
I sometimes slows don the computor when using teams and Miro together. When sharing the screen with Microsoft teams and running Miro with a large (more than 4-5 people) it quickly eats your memor and everything gets slow. The voting process could be improved a bit. If you have use it to vote on stickers that have been grouped together and you want the group to be the thing you vote on thats not possible. Now you have to vote on only the single individual stickers within that group. Sure you can add upp the nyber of votes to see the totality but a feature to group a number of stickers would be nice. In the beginning it was hard to know the exakt tips and trix I use today to make my life easier. For example knowing that you can select multibple items by holding down the shift key and then draging the mous was something I had to google to find out before knowing. This is now a lifesaver for me and I cant live without it. Having this as some sort of tool tip in the beginning would have been nice.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The retrospectives are perfect to use with Miro and I have realized that in Covid times you can still have collaborative sessions even online

Look through the templates, there are so many good to choose from!
Great tool for remote collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Very intuitive and extremely reliable tool! Great for organizing your own thoughts and ideas and perfect for collaborating with remote teams. Useful templates and small features (e.g. the timer) make it a great tool that I don't want to miss anymore!
As a product manager, it's essential to organize your input and ideas in a transparent and easily understandable way. With Miro, it becomes super easy to visualize your thinking process and enable others to share their own thoughts and ideas.

What do you dislike about the product?
To be honest, there is not much I can criticize. One might argue about the pricing, but personally, I think the pricing is fair. Moreover, I love that educational organizations can use Miro for free and NGOs receive a discount.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Miro in our Product team for various activities such as User Story Mapping, opportunity trees, retrospectives, etc. The great thing about Miro is that everything becomes very visual which prevents misunderstandings. Additionally, it's perfect to collaborate and share ideas with other team members when working remotely.
In the non-digital world, one of the most important parts of running a Design Thinking workshop was having enough post-it notes. Today, the only thing you need is Miro!

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it for free and upgrade if you need more than 3 boards! Before creating something from scratch, check if Miro already has a template for it. There are many templates that are very useful and can save you a lot of time!
An enjoyable program
What do you like best about the product?
I used this board to share with a number of people in a workshop remotley to do some problem solving and found Miro to be an excellent tool to navigate and faciltate around this. The sharing and interactive aspects of this were probably my favoutite feature of Miro alongside the aesthetics of creating good slides too.
What do you dislike about the product?
we had to share the link of the MIro boards to all the people on the training and I would say around 20% really struggled in some way accessing the screen or using the board features for the first time. The scroll and and move functions seemed to create barriers for some.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been trying to do some Theory of Change problem solving, using a SWOT analysis and PESTLE models as well as an evaluation framework
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Spend a bit of time learning how to make basic presentations and use the community to support with any aspects to develop a better understanding of the capabilities of the software
The ULTIMATE collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
It's very easy to use and has a rich set of features, including numerous templates and tools that are useful for agile teams as well as general collaboration. It's unlimited whiteboard size lets whatever you're working on grow organically without constraints, which is a boon for creative and collaborative work.
What do you dislike about the product?
Organisations are typically resistant to use it in my experience, out of concern that they will be putting sensitive information on a platform that is outside of their domain. It can take a few seconds to show that there is content on a newly loaded space, which might be confusing for those new to the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration - particularly post-Covid-19 - is increasingly between remote participants, making online tools an essential aspect of any facilitator's approach. The suite of tools and templates provided within Miro, combined with its incredibly intuitive user experience, means that Miro is now arguably BETTER than in-person collaboration for many situations. I've managed everything from 2-person brainstorms to hundred+ participant planning sessions, doing everything from mindmaps to PI planning, including photos, virtual post-it notes, and even embedded JIRA cards and it all just works! It's painless, easy, and effective.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a go; you can use it on a small scale for free and that's definitely the best way to get to grips with it. Only you will know if it will work for you, and trying it is the best way to find out.
Great collaboration and brainstorming tool which I recommend to everyone!
What do you like best about the product?
I love how fluid and intuitive the interface is. It means I can brainstorm and diagram and map out things myself and work in a collaborative context with others without being delayed or hindered by the program. The pop-up editing tools and quick grips are especially useful, I used to always prefer pen and paper for initial mind mapping and such, but with Miro, I can be almost as quick and end up with a result that others can read!
I also love that I can add multiple templates onto one board, as I don't always know when starting what will be needed.
I like that you let people have 3 free boards. This allows us to try it out prior to paying for a team account for our work area. And, it's great that we can still have three free boards after that, as this helps me make some personal maps without them having to be in the main project team space.

What do you dislike about the product?
I was going to say difficulting in window selecting objects but thought I should quickly google that and found out that yes, indeed, Miro does that (hold Shift when using the Select tool)
The other trouble is that while frames work well, if you want to print out multiple frames into a PDF in a certain order, that doesn't work.
One other thing that is sometimes irritating - when I drop post-it notes in an area that already has, for example, a mind map laid out, they appear some large default size and do not take into account the size of the shapes in the existing map. This means I have to

The ultimate tool for online collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is easy to learn and use, and it becomes more powerful as long as you keep using and exploring it. Miro is rich of templates, both pre-filled and blank, that also help you drive through understanding and using different brainstorming or planning methods, as well as tools to manage and organize information.
Its interface is friendly, quick to understand, and contains mostly all the elements needed to pursue a wide range of visual representations.
Pricing is average if compared to other competitors; though, with a 1-person account you can exploit a large amount of features - I actually still did not exploit Miro at its full potential.
Sharing and collaborating is made simple; when I use it in my training sessions, people love it and get to use it very fast and easily.

What do you dislike about the product?
I actually DO NOT DISLIKE anything. If there's something I would improve, I'd say:
1) Text features in "sticky notes": they could be better and exploit the same features of text boxes;
2) Image export: when there are Frames on the board, it could be easier to export images directly by means of frames.
3) In some cases, people may have difficulties in using Miro through firewalls or VPNs. It is recommended to tell people who will collaborate on Miro to disconnect from VPNs and/or to ask their network administrators to enable people to use Miro within their companies' networks.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I could draw and export several diagrams for my presentations (concept maps, flowcharts, org. charts...).
As a trainer, it is crucial to help people collaborate on a wide range of topics during my online classes.
Also, using Miro during online classes makes them interactive and "animated", what makes them be well accepted by people and gain high grades in training satisfaction.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I'd just suggest to try all similar products. I discovered that Miro had the best interface, was the easiest to use, free features are a lot more than other competitors, and pricing is average - even better in most cases.
Best support solution for process-oriented roles
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to integrate the solution into all my processes. This makes working easier as a single location can house the ideation via mind-mapping, the documentation of the MVP, the process flow for the MVP and updates on where we are with this.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was more flexibility around the arrows and the colour scheme. The limited schemes here make it difficult to integrate into other documents especially presentations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use this for mindmaps when we are ideating and for process diagrams when deciding what should be done.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This can be the one tool that can help the product and project team become more productive. This ensures that you have all the information you need about product, projects in one place. I had a different mind mapping tool and then a process tool but with this. I can do everything in a single solution.
