Miro change how I collaborated!
What do you like best about the product?
Since the start of the pandemic and being sent home to work remotely, I was searching and searching for something to help with collaboration. I wanted something for the team I led and to work with others outside of it. Miro gave me that! It is where we brainstormed ideas, mapped out projects, and much more.
What do you dislike about the product?
I honestly don't have anything I dislike about the app. I'm not just saying that either. I checked it out when it used to be called Realtimeboard (or something like that) and it has come a long way. Even last year they were working on new feature after new feature and it really shows!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As I previously stated, I was looking to solve the loss of working in an office and having that collaboration that came with it. In Miro, I have everyone on the same board sharing ideas. This is what was missing. Even when we occasionally were in the office last year, we still used this across departments or if someone was working remotely that day.
Great tool, I just love it!
What do you like best about the product?
Very intuitive, visual, collaborative, I love that the boards are borderless and that you can easily rearrange all kinds of elements (post-its, pics, diagrams,...). Also, the templates are great! The tutorials (Miro Academy) are quite helpful to move to a more advanced usage.
Very useful to brainstorm as an agile team building software solutions.
I even use it on a personal level to collect screenshots and articles worth keeping for later analysis.

What do you dislike about the product?
A detail: CMD + K shortcut not available to link a single word.
Sometimes a board can bet a bit laggy (but that is probably because I have one with a LOT of stuff, I'm impressed it doesn't get slower).
Boards only load when you're actually on the tab (you can't just open the tab and wait for the board to load while you're doing something else in a different tab)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro helps me brainstorm with the teams, define product specifications, and gather valuable visual information for later, all in one place! It also helps to organize ideas and draft presentations.
Miro enabled me to work in a completely new way.
What do you like best about the product?
The infinite canvas allows me to feel comfortable in putting all ideas in one place. Another of my favorite features of the product is the well-designed tool UI. At first glance, it seems simple, but at a deeper look, there are a lot of features available. This helps to not overwhelm the user when they start using it.
What do you dislike about the product?
The desktop app could have more functionality. Additionally, I would like to have more options to collaborate with external tools, such as Google sheets and similar.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For me, Miro has been most useful in making very complex problems simple. It allowed me to break down difficult concepts from my daily consulting work into manageable pieces while having all the information available on the same canvas.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is useful to spend a good amount of time preparing boards in advance and make sure that different groups of users are comfortable using them - especially those who are not experienced.
Another common mistake that I've seen is forgetting to lock the items before sharing - it is a good practice since mistakes can happen and collaborators can edit items by accident.

Miro Review
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to create mindmaps and layouts for presentations, particularly for photography. I can upload my photographs, see the relationship between the images and make a selection of the ones I want as finals. Miro also allows me to resize images and be able to get an idea of the image proportions in relation to one another. I can duplicate images in order to arrange them into a series of what the final presentation of the photos will look like. Being an artist and designer, miro is crucial to my process as it allows me to break down my entire process by creating a roadmap. I can map out different stages of my process to keep track of what stage I am currently in and how much more work I need to do to complete a project. Most importantly, Miro allows me to share my work with other people, and I am in control of whether the person I invite onto my board can edit, comment or view. This feature is beneficial for collaboration as it allows all group members to work on the same project from different locations.
What do you dislike about the product?
The usability can be difficult to understand at first. The images appear small and the user has to adjust them to their liking. The select button can be confusing as well as it is interchangable from being a move tool and selecting tool. The user simply has to click on the cursor button on the left hand side of the screen. All of these issues are minor and only need explanation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro helps me break down art and design projects and simplify them into subtasks. It is also beneficial in creating a layout of the presentation.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is the best platform for collaboration as it allows one to create boards that they can use to communicate or break down ideas for themselves and others. For me, it is helpful because of the freedom it allows me in my creative process. Miro also has various templates for people who wish to work with ease and do not want to create their format. They also assist should a user need assistance. I have written based on my personal experience with Miro as an artist, but honestly speaking, it is beneficial regardless of the industry that one is working in.
Miro is very intuitive, easy to share boards with participants of meetings and workshops.
What do you like best about the product?
New features are frequently adding. It has nice and intuitive interface. Pricing is school-friendly. Timer is very usefull, way to manage frames, activity log, pen (especially when i use Miro on iPad). Miroverse is a great idea to build comunnity and share free templates. Locking and hidening frames is very useful. I'm using very often voting feature, is easy to use. Embedding external objects like google documents, forms, youtube, prezi, pictures, web pages and many others and I can run them directy from the miro board. I love "bring everyone to me" when I'm providing workshops.
What do you dislike about the product?
Memory usage, when I have more than one tab open, occure problems with slow working computer. What I would love to have as a feature to prevent meeting participants from seeing the Frames List panel while in presentation or split-screen mode. I propose to increase feature "Pen" and the possibilities of drawing like brush effect, blur. Would be usefull to have possibility to transfer the ownership of boards, because without it, even if I'm the admin I'm not able to remove old boards, because I'm not the owner.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm conducting online workshops, meetings when we had to switch to remote work. I'm saving time when using templates. Thanks to Miro, I have inspiration how to facilitate meetings, warmups and it helps integrate people in whole over the company and world. Miro can replace power point :) I can keep order thanks to project, where I can catalog and group boards. "Bring everyone to me" helps a lot participans to stay focused and not lost on board. I don't have to pay extra when I invite workshop participans just for one time. It is also saving time when I'm preparing documentation after workshop, just simply do export to needed format. I think I can do all my work on Miro, just my imagination is the limit :)
I recommend Miro to everyone who works with teams in any industry, public service, education, as well as for those who prepare business analyzes, architecture, presentations.

Fast start with Miro
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is an incredibly productive tool. It is intuitive, easy to use, and comes with a broad range of adaptable templates along with Icon sets. Furthermore, Miro provides an excellent and growing set of good training material. The diagramming component is one of the easiest that I have ever used. The result is that I was able to put Miro to productive use within a couple of days.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's hard to find anything to dislike. One suggestion would be to modify the way in which frames are bounded so that content that is external to the defined context does not appear in presentations. But this is a minor gripe and it easy to work around it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro is an excellent platform for collecting thoughts, sharing them, and developing them in collaboration with colleagues. It is easy to jot down and reorganize thoughts on the broad canvases which provide a stored record. Furthermore, it does a good job of generating PDFs that can be sent out as presentations.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start by doing the tutorial, use it for a few minutes each day, and explore the templates. Be bold and use it on a real project.
Easy to use. No account required to guest.
What do you like best about the product?
With Miro, we can brainstorm with web workshop guests. Guests are reluctant to create an account just for a one-time workshop, but Miro can be used without an account, making it very easy to recommend.
What do you dislike about the product?
The text box is a little tricky to handle. It's probably not a problem for English text, but when I type Japanese text, the text size becomes very small.
In that case, you can add your own line breaks to make the font size match the size of the text box.
I think Miro was developed for languages with spaces between words, like English, so it cannot handle languages without spaces between words, like Japanese.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Miro for online training for human resource development. In the past, we used to meet in real and brainstorm using Post-its.
After the COVID-19 disaster, it became difficult for us to meet in real, so our training is now mainly virtual.
Since we can do the same kind of work with sticky notes online, we can maintain the quality of the training.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro can use without login and without installing any application. In addition, Miro can be operated intuitively without explaining to the user how to handle it.
These advantages have lowered the hurdle for introducing virtual training.

One of the best for project collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
I like the easy to drag and drop options on any board. I am using to working on the website design and the kanban board on workdays. With the unlimited space, We can have everything in a single mini-board. It easy to use and set up any new board. I like the support team of the miro, which is ready to help me quickly and make it easy to do business.
What do you dislike about the product?
With the unlimited space, We can have everything in a single mini-board which make it difficult to load the board on the web view, I am tired of the time spending on just loading the board to get started working. I have now switched to the web to the app's desktop version to work on my Windows systems. It has limited fonts to be used on the board. I need an option where we can import any fonts on the board.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's easy to share with different teams. Easy for a non-technical person to use it. I see the scope of the project to be visible with a mindmap view. I am using it for redesigning the website. We have the design on the board for each different screen size and we work accordingly. It's very easy to edit and let others know the changes across the team.
Can't think of myself working in a team without collaborating in Miro
What do you like best about the product?
Miro gave us the ability to map our thoughts intrenally and collaborate with peers using boards. It is extraordinary how we implement Miro boards collaborating with clients trying to solve real life scenario and provide solutions to their business needs. I would never expect see my clients leaving comments helping our project delivery process. Allowing clients to participate through the service design process help us get valuable insights and get a more solid brief. Getting access to tribal knowledge through Miroverse give an amazing opportunity to learn from Miro experts and other professional on a huge variety of use cases.
What do you dislike about the product?
Up until now I haven't come across to any features or workflows I don't find helpful. However I'd say that it will take sometime for someone in your team who is not a creative spirit or familiar with remote collaboration to ramp up quickly and start using more advanced features in Miro. Understanding full capacity of features and use cases requires effort and a significant time spent within the platform.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I'd advise watching youtube videos on how to use Miro and definitely follow the Miro Experts and Miro community!
Miro helps a lot in our everyday research process, especially when working remotely!
What do you like best about the product?
We love how Miro allows us to collaborate in real-time and communicate our ideas among the team and to our clients in visually appealing way! And it's so intuitive - the learning curve for new users among our team was short. An option to videocall each other within a specific board is awesome!
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing that is lacking - an option to freeze elements, like an Excel "Freeze row/column". Some research stages result in big tables (for example User Journey Map), which are really hard to overview without freeze column option. That would be helpful for timeline tables as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro helps visually organize information, and it's super easy to make a mind map. We also create mood boards, a screen map, and other deliverables in Miro. It's helpful how easy aligning and changing elements are so that we can create neat deliverables quickly. Google docs integration also helps, when we are adding a link to some external documents.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend to try and see how it fits in your daily work routine. It's a highly versatile tool!
