Intuitive, powerful, perfect for collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Miro provides so many templates that you can always find one that you need. Flowchart and mindmap are my most frequently used ones. There are also countless apps integrated that I haven't even explored. But it is already powerful enough to convince me to keep using it. The design of the interface is simple and good-looking. It's also quite intuitive to get ahold of it even if you are using it for the first time. Also, the app is pretty lightweight. The webpage also provides identical functions and experiences as the app which means that you don't have to download the app. What's even better is that this is all free for students and education staff, which I'm really grateful for. Most of the time, I use it for presenting ideas and project illustration within my team, which I found really helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
The most annoying drawback for me is when exporting the boards to an image, there's no way to get a transparent background. It also can't be utilized to its full potential when people around you are not using it.
Regarding specific functionalities, I hope more color schemes can be provided. And I would like automatically generated covers because most of the time I'm too lazy to select a cover myself.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visualizing ideas and processes with my coworkers. It really helps with my presentation and for them to understand what I'm talking about.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are paying for any of the mind mapping/ flowchart/ diagrams/ whiteboard apps just use that subscription fee on Miro. It's probably the same price with so many more functions.
I highly recommend it.

An amazing tool for collaborative work and design thinking
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to interact with and create new diagrams or notes - the functions are very intuitive so it seems so natural, very easy to learn. The space of the board is so large, you can fit all your project work into the one board so it is easier to work collaboratively in a group. I really like how there are pre-made templates because it allows me to get through work quicker, they also are inspirational since they show me new techniques I could possible use in my work.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's nothing I 'dislike' - but currently I'm trying to create a systems map - a function that would help to reorganise connections in the best format would be useful. Similar to the Apple 'clean-up' function.
What would be even more useful is a calculation function or some kind of 'smart tool' that would be incorporated into the templates. For example, in an affinity diagram, it could tell you how much a certain work appears, making it easier to group sticky notes.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm able to work collaboratively on University projects with my group and apply design-think techniques easily (especially during COVID).
Having the real-time feedback of seeing members contribute to work makes me feel really connected in work with them - we're able to easily visually express our ideas in realtime despite working remotely.
Problems I've looked at are reducing childhood obesity, supporting mental health and enabling greater social connectedness during travel.

Collaboration, Workshopping, Visioning, Structuring,
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is not only a digital whiteboard but a breakthrough application of a what whiteboards can be in the digital age. I use it to collaborate asynchronously with my teams, to workshop synchronously between 2 and 25 people. Furthermore I use it to visionalize storyboards individually as well as to gather, structure and synthesize research. I have a both a corporate account and a private one.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing that I dislike is that there are no shares to buy of miro (yet?). Because I think it is that amazing! Ok, I would appreciate 2 more boards for private use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Try it - in 5 minutes you will be a fan
Miro lives up to the Online Visual Collaboration Platform for Teamwork and may more use cases
What do you like best about the product?
I love the existing templates and the descriptions that come with the templates which makes it easier to create effective boards for any audience, team or user. I also love the avatar follow feature, whenever is someone is interacting on the miro board if others click on the main person the screen moves along with main user interaction.
What do you dislike about the product?
The process of sharing isn't so intuitive and easy to do compared to creately, mural, canva and similar apps. I think if sharing is made easier for people outside a team to collaborate and leave comments will be a huge benefit. I also think the export process can be improved too so that user can get the best quality out of their boards shared to guests, maybe a description of the sharing formats and what they're best used for will be most impactful. I understand Miro works best within Miro but even an option where you can save a frame as a high-quality PowerPoint will be great. Nevertheless, these dislikes are minor however should be looked at
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm solving a lot of problems with Miro from tackling users needs and problems to creating an end to end service map and diagrams. The benefits of Miro realized are truely invaluable making myself and my team save more time and also be more creative
Excellent collaborative whiteboarding.
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using it primarily for creating mind map and other diagrams. There is an excellent collection of diagram templates. The collaborative features are also excellent. Miro has a lot of features, most of which I have not tried yet. I really like the ease of use of the mind-map and other templates. The connector options are also great.
The biggest feature is the ability to create a variety of diagrams even in the free edition and also collaborate with others.

What do you dislike about the product?
If someone joins using another person's invite, they cannot create their own team. The only way to this is to leave all teams and create your own team. Then ask to be invited again to collaborate on other teams.
This is a limitation only on the free edition. The plans are all monthly per person. It would have been great if there was an option to purchase an individual licence for a single private board.
The notes object does not resize well. Each one takes a size based on text content. The font sizes do not look great when you have may sticky notes each of them with a different size.
Would be great if Miro supported Google Fonts.

What do you dislike about the product?
Missing building default icon for build landscape schéma
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Remote work with team
Flexible and Intuitive – collaboration in many different tastes.
What do you like best about the product?
One of the main advantages is the desktop app compared to web clients, nevertheless, webbrowser can be used as well. There are many tools available and vast workspaces – practically unlimited space. Miro is a multipurpose tool, für presentations, groupwork, seminars, brainstorming, documenting ... allowing a mix of structure and unstructured data.
What do you dislike about the product?
The license schemes are somehow less helpful, if you are involved in different teams, because you need a licensed seat in any team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro is a tool for different purposes: We use it as a typical whiteboard, but we also collect documents, links, papers into the miro boards, this makes it to a project hub. Presentations can be done out of Miro, in a flexible and dynamic way.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro offers so many different ways to work with – best to play around with it, before you use it in an external project! Check the different license schemes, some aspects may be less intuitive – for instance, being in different teams affords a license in each of the teams.

Miro is the dark horse of remote work

It's intuitive yet gives you freedom to create with very few limitations. I love collaborating across the platform and also building unique, bespoke virtual experiences using the platform for people to utilise without the need for advanced coding or complex software to make it work.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't make an element (such as a shape) into a click-and-go button or embed GIFs or webpages without having to press a 'play' button. I also wish that if I lock objects that the borders of the objects would be invisible instead of outlined.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm solving problems regarding remote work and collaboration, and also redefining what a virtual engagement experience looks like for students and staff.
Overall it's pretty good!
