Rocket fuel for your innovation sessions
What do you like best about the product?
Infinite canvas is one of the big things to prevent you from being stressed about the upfront organization of your work.
Frames are the second preferred thing, combined with presentation mode, which allows you to break out of your PowerPoint world and be fully transparent and collaborative.

What do you dislike about the product?
Selection mode. As you layer objects on top of each other, the double-click function to create new elements does not work as you select the existing things.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Any meeting I have is happening now in MIRO. It helps me create meeting minutes that can be added to by the meeting participants, allow to jointly and real-time conduct user research and record the insights, off-sync build stories and refine the presentations.
An excellent tool for online collaboration and solo sensemaking
What do you like best about the product?
My favourite use of Miro is having a blank canvas to capture my thoughts and create diagrams to then share and discuss.
What do you dislike about the product?
Zoom is so annoying, you never know if you're at the correct resolution,
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping deliver joined-up Healthcare through modern technology products, Miro helps explore use cases and visualise and solve problems.

Miro is essential for digital collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
The unrestricted environment to create in is the best part. From small brainstorming sessions to building out an in-depth and involved workshop for a large group, complete with breakout sessions and slideshows, Miro can handle it all.
The integrations are also incredibly helpful. The ability to import files from google drive and tasks from Asana during our team's brainstorming sessions have allowed us to capture ideas that have been scattered across platforms and engage with them in more creative ways.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is a bit of a learning curve, particularly for folks that may be less tech-savvy. While Miro has many learning resources available, having to go through them before folks feel comfortable enough with the platform to engage with it can delay them from fully engaging.
I also really wish that Miro had the ability to draw shapes with the pen tool then fill them in with a paint bucket tool. There have been more than a few occasions where I'd love to be able to create simple illustrations, and end up having to do so in Illustrator, exporting it, then uploading it to Miro.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our work in restorative justice relies on human connection and relationships, and we've used Miro to engage and connect in different ways than the video conferencing that we've all become too familiar with. For example, we've hosted virtual restorative justice circles through Miro, along with countless activities for check-ins and icebreakers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I find that the best way to move past the initial learning curve is to dive in and play with the program. Many features are very intuitive, particularly if you're comfortable using common keyboard shortcuts, but It can take some practice to feel confident.
Also, take advantage of all of the templates available in the Miroverse!

Great for whiteboarding & collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Miro is that it allows me to work collaboratively with my colleagues and partners to map concepts, ideas, and projects. We are able to visually map a discussion and have an output to guide continual discussions.
What do you dislike about the product?
Miro does have many templates, so at first, it can be a little difficult to decipher the best templates for your use cases. After time and testing different templates, you find what you like and what is useful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is easy to have discussions and not track opinions, thoughts and ideas or do so through boring meeting notes. Miro allows tracking to be fun, exciting, visual and provides a space for all to engage in active collaboration around projects, goal setting, etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider Miro for collaborative mapping work! It is free to sign up, so test it out today!
So good for whiteboarding that we use Miro even when we have an actual whiteboard in the room
What do you like best about the product?
Seamless collaboration, no different from if you were really in a room with the other people on the board. Easy to see what your colleagues are seeing. Intuitive to navigate even a large board with hundreds of elements, not much lag, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
iPad and iPhone experiences leave much to be desired – slow and it's painful to try to direct the software to understand if you're moving an item or trying to move yourself. Also, I think you definitely need an external mouse to use Miro because using a trackpad for it hurts my entire hand (and soul). But honestly – Miro is still the best out there. I tried a competitor (Lucidspark) last week just out of curiosity, and it was so awful to use that it sent me fleeing back to Miro within a day.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro is the best for breaking down any complicated problem in life. I've used Miro to figure out everything from a software platform (for work) to a new app for a fitness studio (for a friend) to outlining a novel and deciding how to hunt for a house (personal projects). Half an hour on the board helps everyone get their unspoken assumptions out in the open for more effective problem-solving. Love the large template library – some of my favourites include the User Story Map and 2x2 matrix.
Powerfull and simple to use virtual white board
What do you like best about the product?
Very intuitive to use and with a lot of tools. Also, a good plethora of external integrations makes it even more helpful.
I also like the voting option, and the adition of the possibility of music during the time is also a small but great idea.
The possibility to organize several boards in projects makes it easier to navigate once we have a lot of boards.
The jira integration is great not only to create user story mappings but also to create tickets in jira after a brainstorm session or after a retro.
Another thing that I like a lot is the miroverse where we can find a lot of templates to use and also share easily our template with others.
The reply time from their support and the time to fix issues when I tried it was also very good and exceeded my expectations

What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing model is a bit expensive, although the possibility of public editing and sharing with a password helps a bit.
It also tends to be a bit more hungry and doesn't cope well when you have too many small elements in one boards, making it rather sluggish

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used it mostly for team collaboration, visual facilitation, asynchronous communication and visual note-taking.
It allows for good team collaboration and everyone is at ease working with it.
It helped quite a lot facilitating remote meetings since it made visible what we where talking about

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use first the free version to try it out. There's also a trial version that allows us to experiment the paid features.
If you plan to use it with huge whitboards with a lot of small objects be sure that your PC has 16 Gb of memory

Miro is the new trace for designers
What do you like best about the product?
Miro lets me sketch with my colleagues, it is better than sketching on trace because we can literally sketch in the same place. The only limiting factor is the size of my pen tablet. I can also leave notes for them when they are not around, with pictures or whatever is useful for giving feedback.
What do you dislike about the product?
Miro can be a little slow, especially when I am sketching and am making a lot of little lines quickly. It can also get slow when the board is full of lots of images.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My teams are able to sketch while working from home! It keeps all of our sketches in one place. I can see what everyone is working on. It is easier to save sketches for referring to later.
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.
Do you miss the physical whiteboard when you are in remote training or workshops? Try Miro!
What do you like best about the product?
Infinitive whiteboard. +25 people are working simultaneously. Connection with Jira and confluence. Access to edit to all participants without the need to buy a licence for each one. Drag and drop of videos and pictures.
What do you dislike about the product?
The usage of frameworks is not flexible. I have tried using the roadmap framework, but I can not change the text size, for example. It happens with all frameworks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As trainer and coach, I perform workshops and need to work with others with giant whiteboards. We do not have a whiteboard now; then, we use Miro to solve the problem. Other problems we solve are timekeeping, comments, voting, estimating, etc. Miro give the opportunity to make the event interactive and full of life.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
When you deliver training or workshop and there are participants with no experience with Miro, add an ice breaker exercise in Miro to allow them to understand how to use it.
Intuitive, Versatile but slower loading on larger diagrams
What do you like best about the product?
I love Miro's intuitive nature that made setting it up easy without much training. I appreciate its ease of use, allowing me to effortlessly share diagrams globally and streamline my discussions by converting complex ideas into visuals quickly. The integrated search helps find necessary resources like icons and pictures effortlessly. I also value how Miro stays ahead by recreating components, offering excellent price-to-value.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find that it is lacking some speed now and then, especially on larger diagrams. Additionally, i had an issue when components were all linked and start resizing and moving all together, which seems to require optimization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro to translate words into visuals, saving time and facilitating clear communication. It allows me to share diagrams globally with ease, enabling immediate discussions on actual issues rather than lengthy explanations.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Dont think to long about added value vs cost. Try it and find out if it works for you and your teams.
