The Perfect Collaboration Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Many things:
- Ease of use
- Many templates to choose from, saving huge amounts of time for the administrator of the "event"
- Viewing other cursors (brings a feeling of collaboration for a remote team)
- Pricing seems fair, unlike some tools that charge more for the same kind of features
- Simple tools available for getting started immediately, and extensive features for those who want to dig deeper and get the most out of the tool
- Specifically, I like the ability to create mockups of Web Applications using the wireframe
- Sticky notes!
- Commenting on other people's work, which again helps collaboration

What do you dislike about the product?
Not much:
- The default scrolling is extremely annoying because it's "click-and-drag". Scrolling around the page using a trackpad is far more intuitive and easy.
- It took me a while to work out how to change navigation settings
- This could be from my own limited knowledge of the tool and not necessarily an issue for others

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro brings collaboration back, and dare I say it, I believe this tool is easier to use than to work together in person!
Having worked collaboratively in person and also through Miro, I greatly appreciate the ability to work in the exact same space without getting in someone else's way. Physically, I had to stand in line to move sicky notes around, but with Miro, it's magic!

If you do a lot of collaborative work, this tool is a must-have!
Encouraging teamwork with Miro
What do you like best about the product?
Firstly, Miro offers a user-friendly, accesible, and intuitive interface with a real customization possibility. You can encourage your team's creativity, engagement, and organization. The templates available from Miro are handy, but the opportunity to use the community-developed templates ensures a much richer experience. Also, I notice that some companies are starting to look differently at people who are used to using this tool, this encourages the use of the community, and more and more interesting templates created by the community are added and make our day-to-day work easier. When you bring this new tool to your team, clearly you will see an excitement for being something new with an intense world of possibilities.
What do you dislike about the product?
The possibility of undoing some action when using Miro in real-time with teammates still creates a bit of confusion in my team. I believe that the initial tutorial could be improved too, given that precisely because the tool has a huge range of possibilities. When some people on my team saw that many buttons and options she can get scared at first, so I myself created a tutorial a little more detailed than Miro's standard tutorial. It's worth the effort to create internal training for your team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our primary function is the control through kanban, being a fundamental tool for our sprints. In this regard, we had greater adherence to this tool than those used previously. In addition, some creation and ideation dynamics, such as brainstorming, bring greater team participation than when we used the whiteboard in the room. Another unforeseen use was in the onboard process for new employees, in which we apply specific dynamics.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
As I said, it is very worthwhile to create internal training focused on the tools you will use the most because the vast amount of possibilities can make your team get scared or lose focus.
Engagement Boost with Intuitive Design
What do you like best about the product?
I like Miro's design and the way they constantly implement new features. I find value in the community around Miro, which offers lots of different widgets, tools, and templates that I can use. I appreciate that they are always evolving. Learning from the community's templates and creating my own helps me structure my knowledge and build a library for future workshops and scenarios.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's one thing that sometimes doesn't work well: when new participants join my board during a webinar, especially if they have never used Miro before. Although they don't need to register, sometimes Miro prompts them to register, which can confuse them. They get lost and don't know what to do, so they can't enter. This creates some frustration at the beginning.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro to keep remote participants engaged and create artifacts during virtual workshops, allowing them to have something tangible to refer back to.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I have started to use Miro with its free plan and it was then when I realized that I can use it for my business. So using it for free gives the taste of the platform.
Easy, more intuitive way to get organized
What do you like best about the product?
The best part about Miro is the visual aspect and the ability to create and easily understand steps all laid out on one board. Miro works like my brain works, instead of forcing my brain to work in a way that is not natural or intuitive. The templates are also excellent! Miro provides creative templates that are super helpful that I wouldn't have come up with by myself but definitely make the work flow way better.
What do you dislike about the product?
You have to drink the kool aide. Team members who don't 'have time' or 'want to' learn a new software program cannot collaborate and add value. Although my work is much better, easier and more fun for me, I still have to make old school lists if I want to work with others who don't use Miro.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Staying more organized. Plus I can more easily see and anticipate obstacles before they happen with a Miro board.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the extra time you need in the beginning to learn the program. It'll save so much time later on!
Excellent tool for cross-functional collaboration!
What do you like best about the product?
I love that miro is the ultimate app for collaborating with multiple teams. The days of individually editing separate documents and sending them to colleagues are over. Everyone can work simultaneously and contribute to production in realtime.
What do you dislike about the product?
The inability to delete boards. For example, even the admins can't delete empty "My First" boards or boards that are no longer needed. They must be deleted by the person that created the board and if that person is no longer with the company nothing can be done about it. In the end, it creates a lot of unnecessary clutter.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our collaboration as a team, as well as our collaboration in multiple departments has increased exponentially and meetings have become more productive and inclusive.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you work within a team based environment, get Miro. Once you do, you might find yourself reminiscing about the before times and wonder how you made it this far without it.
We'll want to continue using Miro even when we're back in the office.
What do you like best about the product?
It's a fantastic way to create mood boards, have discussions, workshops, problem-solving, etc. Honestly, it's been such an amazing tool during the pandemic and working from home. So much that we've already discussed, we'll probably continue using Miro when we're back in the office (although that itself might be a little bit of a challenge since we're not sure if we'll just have to huddle around one person's monitor.) The best part of this is that you can create, edit, delete parts as you go without worrying about running out of post-it notes!
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't think there are any significant downsides to Miro. It's a very polished tool - we haven't run into any bugs nor downtimes. It's always been up and running. I've submitted a few minor improvements, such as the ability to assign more than 1 person to the 'task' card feature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've used Miro both as workshops to kick off projects but also as discussions for the overall team structure and working process. I think it has helped us improve ourselves in those areas. It's a lot easier to pick a project back up without having to look through scribbled notes.
Uniquely flexible platform for simultaneous collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
I am still finding ways to use all the flexible features afforded by the Miro platform. I appreciate the ability to involve my team members without the need for additional licenses, and the desktop app is also well done. Although I'm pretty new to using Miro, the library of ready templates has gotten me started for every single use case I've required to date. Kudos !
What do you dislike about the product?
Despite it providing the majority of the basic functionalities, as I am maturing in my usage of the platform, the free version is rather restricted (as one might expect). So be ready to quickly outgrow the free version and contemplate one of the paid options.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main challenge for which I'm solving is brainstorming online simultaneously with my team members on developing process flows, wire diagrams (for websites), presentation documents, and other such business documents.
Hands down my favourite tool for thinking and collaborating as a PM
What do you like best about the product?
An extremely intuitive tool that suits .
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing currently to note as it is good.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro is my daily thinking and collaboration tool. Being so intuitive, I can shape my ideas precisely as I want to in the smoothest way possible. Visually doing it just makes it so much clearer in my head and for everyone, I collaborate with. It's honestly better at visually representing my ideas than if I had a pen and paper. There is no friction in how I use Miro for my needs, and the general aesthetics of Miro is very pleasing as well.
In terms of collaboration, I am so impressed by how easy it is to have a large audience (say more than 10 users) work together on a Miro board, which makes workshops so much easier to host, in fact, probably better than had we done a workshop in-person.
I've used their integration as well, especially the Slack and Notion integration which are also regular tools I use
In addition, I regularly see feature updates by Miro quite often, another point that shows the team do not rest on their laurels and always try to make it better, even though I have absolutely no complaints about it.
Miro as a product and a company should definitely be a leader in the software industry because it is just that good. They truly cover the macro and micro details in how they build the product.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need to think more clearly and work with others, regardless of your position, do consider using Miro above all other tools. It's better than actually drawing on paper to visualise ideas and it is better than using Word doc to gather requirements
Best solution to collaborative thinking and designing
What do you like best about the product?
Easy-going and friendly no matter with who you share your board. Every time we use it, our ending phrase is "it feels like working together in the same place." We have a test for many different projects and activities, e.g., Customer Journeys, Hackatones, UX design, and everyone has succeeded. It became one of our daily basis tools, and we also have been able to integrate it with our MS Teams suite
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes guests do not realize how to put their name while registering on the log-in phase. Sometimes, it is hard for the moderator to identify who is who, or it takes some minutes of the meeting to explain how to do it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We solve our design sessions. We used to work together in the same room, coming up with ways to solve processes, interfaces, UX design, and today we change that with our MIRO boards. It also gives us the possibility of working offline, adapting our timetable to the current COVID time, and place restrictions
Miro has saved our product team in the last year!
What do you like best about the product?
I was using Miro prior to this crazy pandemic but in the last year it has provided an incredible amount of value to our ways of working. How do we onboard new employees? How do you host engaging workshops without the tactile use of post-its and whiteboards(and biscuits!)? How do you keep a team aligned and maintain a single source of truth throughout projects? How do you socialise?! These are all problems that were effortlessly solved through Miros guidance and community, enabling the team and myself to create a shared spaces within seconds. Templates have been a lifesaver and provided a great starting point for almost anything you can think of and I no longer see Miro as a 'virtual whiteboard' but more of the ultimate collaboration tool. No more digitising what you once had to photograph and transcribe all over again. No more covering whiteboards with an exclaimed note to the cleaner: 'PLEASE DON'T RUB OUT!'. No more running out of space or picking up dried-out markers before the hunt begins to find anything other than a pink sharpie. Miro is quick, it's easy and it's here to stay.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I've really loved is the community on Miro. I would love to see more visibility of what others in the industry are doing. Talks. Videos. More content to drool over as soon as I open up Miro. How can I be even better at what I'm doing? What's hot right now? What methods are other companies doing to get the most from their employees and counterparts - this is where the value is for me.
