Very versatile and useful collaboration tool for planning, brainstorming, training...
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is an incredibly versatile tool that I've been using in a professional setting for a bit less than a year now, and it has been extremely helpful for several of our internal workstreams and projects. Whether we are planning a brainstorming meeting to conceptualize a new project, we want to keep other team members updated on our current activities, or are implementing virtual trainings for stakeholders in a different continent; Miro has done wonders to helps us visualize, clarify, conceptualize and present ideas and thoughts. I'm pretty confident that I will continue to use Miro in the future, both in a professional and on a personal capacity!
What do you dislike about the product?
You definitely need a mouse to use Miro, and unless you are working with a larger-than-laptop monitor, the tutorials and helpful messages will make it hard to view the board. Also, when using the sticky notes, I frequently misclick the option to create an arrow when I only want to change the sticky size!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Planning projects, letting my colleagues what I'm doing, capturing the thoughts and discussion of a group, teaching
Miro is miles ahead, it's faster than my brain, unlike Lucid or Mural that just slow me down!
What do you like best about the product?
It works at lighting speed, so intuitive
What do you dislike about the product?
Struggling to import big PDFs from lucid
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are running full service design, discovery, remote workshops, problem framing, service blueprints, design thinking workshops, collaborative workshops, retros, roadmaps, low-fi collaborative team wireframes, user testing analysis. It just works, it's smooth, sleek, mega fast, we can onboard easily and scale without being punished or blocked. It's secure, and after 1.5 years using Mural, and 4 months struggling with Lucid chart/spark, it's honestly lightyears ahead. I can load multiple files, massive complex files that in competitors, I would have my memory eaten up, crashing computer, ice-age speed loading. There's a reason almost everyone out there uses Miro, it works how it should do and support don't tell you that your breaking it because it was never intended for heavy use, Miro asks for more! It's taken a lot of convincing to switch, but so enlightening to see something so responsive, something that fits like a glove to everything you do and everything you possibly could do!
Miro - The best visual whiteboard
What do you like best about the product?
The interactive tools and elements allow collaborators to work together. Miro as a tool allows for all members of the team to offer a creative and unique outlook on all ideas and makes sharing sessions amazing. The built-in timer as well as all the other tools and creative offerings make it a totally fun and unique experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a tad tricky to navigate if not on a pro plan
The zoom feature needs to be a bit more promptly displayed as it can be sometimes hard to navigate within aboard
Maybe more a variety on colours and post it options
It can be hard for new people to get started as there are so many functions and options to work throughs
Sometimes the image previews don't load properly and can be very difficult to work out what board corresponds to what issue

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working through projects more succinctly and allowing for amazing workshops.
Allowing a more streamlined take when introducing new processes and ideas
It's allowed us to be a bit more visual with projects and problem-solving
Time management issues are a thing of the past as everyone is always given full transparency and can contribute on the boards
Allow for integration of videos to make things a bit more prominent
Flows and mindmaps are easier to navigate through and better for the team to work through
Team working!

Do research into the offerings and look at the plans available
Miro is our creative collaboration hero
What do you like best about the product?
I knew about Miro during the business incubation process for our startup, and during that process, we were able to draft a large number of mindmaps, concepts, thought techniques (including brainstorming), and strategies even though we were participating in the session virtually. In addition to using text and photos, this application allows us to draw on its canvas using a marker, much like we would if we were using a traditional whiteboard directly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Though it lets the user draw things, it is not on that nuanced perspective to fit designers' needs. It is also not available cross-platform; for instance, Linux users cannot access its desktop version. Additionally, its mobile version is almost useless in terms of usability due to its small screen size.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can all work together on a single Miro digital whiteboard to brainstorm, create business procedures, and even talk in real-time as if we were in the same room. Its prebuilt templates have always made our work process efficient. But, Miro is sometimes vague due to its unnecessary features; they should improve their knowledge base and get started guide.
Seems limitless
What do you like best about the product?
The infinite nature of the boards - I love how you can add no end of detail and zooming in or out is much smoother than expected. We also love the way workshop teams can all add post-its to the same board at once and see what each other is doing. I realise Miro might not be the only application that does this, but it does it so well and without slowing things down; I'm slightly in awe.
we also like being able to use emojis and have lots of other material at our disposal

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I struggle to select objects - it can feel like a hassle ungrouping and re-grouping and trying to pick one small thing between layers. I'm not sure how developers might side step this though, without spoiling functionality.
Also, we've not tried doing a live meeting just in Miro - we're a bit nervous about it and have always met in Zoom and then whoever is facilitating will share their Miro screen. That's partly because we don't quite understand how to invite non-contributing participants - we'll pay for a few extra seats so workshop team leaders can contribute but need a way to involve up to 30 view-only people for a couple of hours without buying separate seats for them all which is too expensive for us. I think I have just struggled to understand the rules here and would appreciate clarification.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've been using it mainly to collaborate in ideation workshops. We'll set up a board with areas that we want to focus on and surround it with images, stats and other inspo materials. We'll allocate each workshop group a specific coloured pack of miro post-its then they'll post their ideas using them, so everyone can see at a glance which group has said what and which group has been the most participative. So in a world where we could no longer do this in person, it's been a great engagement tool.
The other main use case is explaining something to a client or to each other, Miro has beaten other online whiteboards for us because it's so easy to draw and post on it.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Their customer service is good, book a call if anything is confusing
Very convenient and intuitive way to work with remote teams
What do you like best about the product?
I like simplicity and keeping advanced (often unnecessary) features out of the sight, so UX is really good. I have used Miro for team workshops for quite many years and users who are new to Miro, grasp it very quickly so we don't waste time to learn how to use the tool. Also, the pricing level is reasonable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Permissions management is far too complicated. Some features should be a bit improved, like the voting - after voting you can see the votes for a fixed period of time and after closing voting results, they disappear. I would like to keep them visible on the stickies as long as needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it for any visualization, for working together with remote teams, including retrospective meetings, for teaching students etc. Sharing a board with the guests who are not forced to log in is an extremely valuable feature. Quite often I find something useful from Miroverse which contains a comprehensive amount of templates and it grows together with a community.
I enjoy using Miro for online collaboration & love its short learning curve for diff stakeholders
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite pars about Miro is that you can colloborate with various stakeholders with different levels of knowlesge about design tools. Miro has such a short learning curve that it makes it easy for others to learn. I also like Miro is integrated with so much other applications (figma, sketch...) so I can insert files easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
The small bugs here & there. For example, when I make everyone follow me to a specific spot on the board, I don't have a way to undo that & they're semi-stuck with my views until they actively break away from it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use to document many of my design processes & share & present with my team. Also that we can collaborate on Miro boards together. In fact I hosted a week-long virtual workshop using Miro.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look At Templates -- I used to think it's super hidden, but once I discovered where it's located I found it extremely useful!
Just in love
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility of use. I Feel like Miro allows me to turn the canvas of chaos that is my brain into something digestable by others in a super collaborative manner. It's the first product I've found that really allows me to work how I want to work. I'm totally sold
What do you dislike about the product?
Very little to be honest.One of the main challenges I have is when inserting items they insert really tiny, which is more annoying than a blocker
It's challenging when other partipants move boards around I've created, that takes some time to sort out

Best Digital Whiteboard You Can Explore
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is a feature-rich tool that is quite handy to use. It contains a blend of flexibility and creativity, which ensures that there is always the most significant amount of room for ideas to be populated, validated, and properly arranged. Also, its premium plan allows real-time team collaboration and communication.
What do you dislike about the product?
The most notable complaint with Miro is its small knowledge base, which makes it difficult for first-time users to use and explore this powerful tool efficiently. Furthermore, exporting necessitates capturing a frame at each step and does not allow for the use of a translucent backdrop.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Whenever we need to plan or envision anything, we log onto Miro and work as if we were in a physical office with colleagues. As a result, one of the most significant benefits we have seen since joining Miro is the ability to conceive, develop, and validate a plethora of ideas and concepts inside a team without restriction.
When it comes to Miro, the sky is the limit
What do you like best about the product?
In Miro, the most powerful feature is the ability to create and share anything in real-time, no matter what it is, either it's just an idea, concept, process, or strategy, in a visually understandable way. In addition, it comes with a convenient function that enables team members to communicate immediately through chat and video communication.
What do you dislike about the product?
As the number of team members increases, the price plan becomes prohibitively costly. Consequently, I believe that the cost per user is high; instead, Miro should consider pricing per team size.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro is the most effective virtual whiteboard available. It is an excellent tool for any job. For instance, with Miro, we can seamlessly ideate and prototype any feature in record time and share the visual concept with everyone within a click.
