Amazing product for collaborative effort in this pandemic
What do you like best about the product?
I love the whole idea of a digital soft board where you can collaborate with fellow creatives to realise your ideas. The product allows a vast pool of information to be in the user's vision. Due to this, dots can be connected seamlessly and new ideas can be compared with ease to come up with the best results possible.
What do you dislike about the product?
I sort of hate that the free plan has just 3 boards editable, I hoped that it could have been free for one person and then paid for collaboration.
Also sometimes, the cursor pans the board instead of selecting the elements, and vice versa also occurs. This causes a mess at times on the board, where frames and elements are moved unnecessarily.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm solving the problems of not having access to space for compiling a ton of information at a place so that I can make links, find patterns and validate the information. I am able to process information now, find gaps, and help facilitate creativity just sitting in front of my laptop instead of being in my larger studio space.
Further benefits are as follows
1) Interactive video calling
2) Stopwatch mode inbuilt into the program
3) Ability to arrange frames in a presentation mode so that you can directly show your progress to clients
4) Virtual room for asynchronous or real-time collaboration
5) Perfect product for an agile oriented organisation
6) Perfect for productive feedback sessions between cross-functional team members

Excellent Tools for Mind Maps and Brainstorming with Remote Teams
What do you like best about the product?
It's really easy to use Miro. I use it almost every day for brainstorming. We have a remote team and everyone in the team loves to use Miro when we are brainstorming.
We use it for mapping user journeys and design a lot.
I personally use it for flowcharts and mind mapping.
They also have an excellent set of apps in the App Store.

What do you dislike about the product?
Hard to think of any. I would say the tool is excellent. It was a bit expensive for us as we are a bootstrapped start-up, but once we started using it, we saw the value it has to offer and we are using it now to the fullest extent.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mindmaps/brainstorming - Extremely easy to come up with them. Very easy for the team to understand the big picture and stay on the same page.
User Journeys - Very easy to map user journeys and think around them.
Design - Very easy as a team to collaborate, share comments, and brainstorm.
Collaboration - Very easy to collaborate. Especially if it is a remote team, it's a no-brainer.

Blank space for a lot of ideas
What do you like best about the product?
Miro has adaptable templates for your ideas and ease to use. If you want to build a roadmap or describe your thoughts attached to images, Miro will help you with many features. Also, it's easy to share and contribute with your colleagues. In fact, doesn't really matter what I use: mindmapping, prototyping or roadmap features. The best of Miro application is its resources and the possibility of create a lot of ideas.
What do you dislike about the product?
When I use Miro, I put a lot of information on my boards. That's fantastic, but could be very heavy to other users. One thing that could help with it is reducing the archive size when the user hide frames in his/her board. I use that function a ,ot on my board to load more quickly, but I believe Miro could explore this possibility using cache or antoher technical support to diminish the latency. Also, the Windows app version couldn't support downloading frames in JPEG. Whe I have to do that, I usually open my browser to download the frame. That could be fixed!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To stay aligned with my colleagues and stakeholders, sharing ideas, roadmap, etc. When I conduct retros (in Scrum), Miro is the best option because it offers videoconferencing, dot voting, and a lot of features that help us interact. Users can navigate to all the problems lited, vote on issues that deserves more attention, and be aligned on what we could do together to improve our team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Share Miro with all the teams you have in your company, not only product or technology, because more people could contribute and share different thoughts to improve the company.
A great tool to involve a workteam in the Agile mindset, easy to learn, easy to use!
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy the possibility of creat interactive work teams that can develop projects, improve processes, etc. through easy tools that are available in miro.com; those tools are intuitive and ready to use, I've have a great experiences and great results with my boss
What do you dislike about the product?
A Bad thing is that the tool don´t have a masive style paste
I would like that I can paste an excel table
The pallet´s colors is poor, I would like to have some more colors
In a web page to select items you need to push the ctrl key + click in each item to move a block, in the tablet is an easy thing, you must to emulate that in web page

I resolve communications issues, I have an easy tool to prepare a excellent looking presentations, Miro introduce me in agile mindset only using the intuitive tools, my team enjoy develop teams and improve processes
MIro review-generally a pleasant experiance
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to work together, that makes miro a lot more helpful than other tools. I like having different folders so that I can keep all my thoughts organized when working on different projects.
I like making some of the items on my board really small it helps me visualize that steps are important and what steps need to be done but at a later date. it also helps me fit a whole project into one view so I know what I am missing to what things might become future bottle necks.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes when using miro and I am copying and pasting notes it is not user-friendly it gives me a hard time and one selects the right thing or I have to click too much to do a simple task.
one of the biggest issues I have with Miro is that the templates I make are only usable i miro, and it is hard to share them or turn them into PDF files so that I could add them to PowerPoint, or any other slide show presentation.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we mostly use miro for road map templates and Pm planning. The templates are really the best thing about miro and they make it really easy to organize time and features. we were in a fintech hackathon and had never done a lean modal canvas before so we used the one from miro and it helped us organize our idea and create a product that actually won the hackathon.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
it is easy to use but hard to master.
Easy collaboration and onboarding everywhere
What do you like best about the product?
The tool it's incredibly easy to use and to learn. The main power is the quickness in explaining how the tools work and what can do also for the people who touch for the first time the board. Also, if you think that a guest (nonpaying user) can actually do many things like a regular registered user. This allows to invite new people as guest in the board to have all kind of experiences without having to spend too much money.
Another big upside of Miro is its community where one can find all kinds of nice template ready to be used and also all the answer/help for all kind of problems.
We have found it great for the agile retrospective and planning but also for all kinds of design thinking and brainstorming activity.
Obviously it's incredibly useful for non-collocated teams but also when people are inside the same room because you can have a digital environment where everyone can give his contribute and don't worry about the need to store the information in a digital way.
Also to underling is also the number of apps that are available inside the store and that offer all kind of native connection with other great and commonly used platform (e. Jira, Asana, excel ) but also aps to inherit great tools like voting session, poker planning, timers and many others.
When it comes to showing value releases through mockups or presentation Miro comes also in hand because it offers the possibility to have presentation session with chat and video streaming all in one place.

What do you dislike about the product?
Standard kanban template and cards are not the best (post-it are actually better to work with).
Pricing for enterprise teams is available only with a high number of users (100 or more in Europe, that is a little bit too much).
Jira connector doesn't allow to create sub-tasks.

Also if we have team members spread worldwide or at home for smart working we can have great collaboration sessions.
Miro is also helping us to create a digital environment where we can work on agile practices with people.
Moreover, by using a digital board, we can now share critical information across many people and have them all always aligned with the status of things.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go for the paid plan if you want to have all the features and power of the tool. Lowest plan it's enough to have all practice and onboard your organization.
Great UX/UI, makes it best mind mapping tool so far
What do you like best about the product?
- It's templates gallery is the first thing that jumps out at you. It's very nicely organized and well-curated
- Worth noting that collaboration features of the software offer a great deal of functionality
- A visualisation tool gives the feeling of using a high-end graphics program, based on how easy it is to draw diagrams and align them

What do you dislike about the product?
- I would have preferred a bit more transparency for the Consultant Plan, i.e. purchasing a license for a single user means you are not able to include anyone else on your board, therefore you would have had to purchase an additional license for your Board
- Also, it would be beneficial if there would be more flexibility for Consultants with only one existing client, in order to prevent them from paying for the same value twice

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- This is a great tool for running product design sprints, ideation sessions, and brainstorming sessions, as well as for performing different types of planning exercises
- The most value add for me was a hands-on approach and easy-to-use nature of the process, so it was a very rewarding experience for me after having completed a couple of product design sprints
- It also has the advantage of providing collaboration capabilities and allowing you to take notes inside the document, which allows you to keep all things organized
- In the event that I wanted to make a short presentation on a specific subject, I just selected the corresponding mode and began the briefing

Wonderful tool for the tech savvy, can be tricky for beginners
What do you like best about the product?
Miro has been a game-changer for my team. We frequently test new tools and this has been a keeper. We use it to work collaboratively- to brainstorms, theme ideas, vote on priorities- and it works like a charm. We love the sticky note function to capture our ideas, the voting function and the timer for prioritising ideas. The frames are great, as they allow you to layout text and diagrams as if on a word processer/ presentation software, then easily export.
The Miroverse is great for finding and using templates designed by other users- so you never have to reinvent the wheel (eg. SWOT grid, Impact vs Effort Matrix).

What do you dislike about the product?
Navigation on Miro can be tricky for the less digitally able. We sometimes use Miro to run interactive workshops and we've had feedback that the navigation is dizzying.
The grid function has given me occasional headaches, with glitches and lost text.
There is also occasional glitches with the copy and paste function, and we've lost text when attempting to do this.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro helps my team collaborate and think divergently. The environment is apt for creative exercises, with all the right tools and the flexibility to use it as needed.
We also use it to facilitate online workshops and focus groups. Its great to have a customisable collaborative space that participants can input directly to.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're bringing others onto your Miro board, I recommend providing a short training session beforehand to help them familiarise themselves with the software. The Miroverse has amazing tools and activities for this purpose.
Essential for Collaboration whilst Home Working
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to share visuals in real-time to ideate and discuss concepts and processes. Running a UX department we are naturally at our best in front of a whiteboard. Being forced to work from home meant finding new ways to make this work as naturally as possible. Miro provided this for us and will continue to be part of our tooling when we move to hybrid working. The mind map tool is particularly effective for planning and note-taking at speed.
What do you dislike about the product?
Better integration with design tools would help with the ingestion and sharing of graphics would improve the ease of use for our team. The improved wireframing tools are good, but there could be a lot of further improvements to this so we can use this for live wireframing sessions with Product Managers and Development Leads.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The management and governance of boards on the team plan has been an issue which may require an upgrade to the Enterprise plan.
Miro's made my life as a facilitator and Product Designer 100% easier!
What do you like best about the product?
Miro's collaboration and adaptability are my favourite things. I use it for whiteboarding, workshops, and keeping knowledge hubs that others can easily add to.
What do you dislike about the product?
To be honest there's not something I dislike per se. But a combination of Gather.Town (or a plugin) would be great. Or a means to have a visual representation of Avatars and Maps (beyond the cursors). This helps with creating a more human-like experience whenever necessary.
Also, it would be awesome to be able to import/export various types of files like Figma and it being compatible. Especially with Figjam now in the scene. I can see that some members in our design team are already jumping to Figjam and abandoning Miro. :(

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it for whiteboarding, workshop design, and facilitation. As well as keeping many knowledge centrals that others can easily contribute to. It becomes a means to pass on frameworks, ways of working and shared knowledge.

Do you whiteboard a lot? Use Miro. Do you run workshops a lot? Use Miro. :D
