My number 1 tool
What do you like best about the product?
As a UX Designer, Miro is just perfect for site mapping, user flows and sometimes even wireframing. One of the best features is the possibility of sharing the board with colleagues as developers or Product Owners and having a quick feedback without too much stress.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, I don’t have anything to say that I don’t like. I think the only part that can be improbable is the navigation on the board, might be more fluid overall!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I usually use it to analyze websites or mobile Apps. Is pretty useful as well in an Agile project, as a remote team, retrospectives or brainstorming sessions are usually on Miro. Even User Research sometimes is via Miro!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the templates, are super useful and time saving!
Miro is my favorite remote collaboration software
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Miro cannot just replace a physical whiteboard or flipchart but actually improves upon it.
I can work on the same whiteboard with 20+ colleagues - something that was never possible in a physicial conference room.
Due too the enourmous size of the whiteboard, much more complex topics can be mapped out.
The templates and the ability to copy and past speed up the workshop preparation significantly.
The ability to zoom in and out is a game changers. I can effortlessly change my perspective and the level of details I want to be exposed to.
Following another user on a Miro board is at least 10-times better than screensharing.

What do you dislike about the product?
With 10+ people at the same time an improperly locked items, it can get messy. But that is more a fault of whoever sets up the board.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem Miro solves for me is conducting remote workshops with the same efficiency as offline workshops. The biggest benefit is that collaboration actually becomes faster. And everything is automatically documented. It is no longer necessary to digitalize workshop results.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just try it out. After playing with it, watch some videos - there are many hidden nuggets that are not obvious while using it. And you absolutely need to check out the library of templates. It is very likely that your use case has already been solved.
The widest, completest and coolest tool for meetings, brainstorming and workshops is called Miro.
What do you like best about the product?
You don't need to start from scratch, you don't have to worry if you are not very creative, because there are already templates available for multiple situations: meetings, demo boards, ideation, mapping & diagramming, agile workflows and some more. I also like that the whiteboards can be downloaded in multiple formats. By using Miro my creativity has been increased and I must confessed now I like to have and attend to meetings.
What do you dislike about the product?
Recently the company has purchased the corporate license and we are having trouble with the permission between users and not everyone can edit and interact with the boards. So it is sad to have meetings of 30 and a few of them (around 5) cannot interact just leave comments. For this reason I constantly need to move my boards from one account to another to see where more people can edit and interact with Miro.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Even in a pandemic situation, Miro makes us feel closer. It allows and fosters the interaction for all the team members or meeting participants.
Also, the time spent on preparing a session has been incredibly reduced by Miro. The templates help a lot. With Miro, you don't have to organize and start from scratch, you just need to check which templates fit your necessities and adjust them if needed.
I am sure that even when the time allows us to go back to the office Miro will still help us a lot because of its dynamic and ease of usage.

Next best thing to in-person whiteboard collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
The whole system was designed with collaboration in mind. There's a great selection of templates (both from Miro and from 3rd parties) to get you started on whatever type of meeting or collaboration you're working on. They've streamlined the ability to get things into the workspace. Importing things from actual pictures of a real-world whiteboard and converting them to post it notes is a feature as well as integrations with a host of other services like google images etc. to bring assets into the board.
What do you dislike about the product?
The sharing tools were a little clunky. I think they just released an update that allows me to share a board with nothing but a link and a password. Previously you had to invite each member to your team which could be frustrating for one-off meetings. But I think this has been addressed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With COVID and our whole team working remote it's been a godsend to enable us to visualize our brainstorming sessions. I've also used to to facilitate retrospective meetings, design sprints... etc. The beauty of Miro is that it's as versatile as a blank whiteboard. I've been able to regain that collaboration aspect that's been missing since we switched to 100% remote because of the pandemic.
Miro is now a critical tool for the way my team collaborates
What do you like best about the product?
I love the flexibility Miro provides -- from allowing my team to quickly spin up a board for tangible collaboration to developing a highly designed, creative workspace for customer workshops. And the ability to bring in some many kinds of media is awesome. My favorite may be the ability to link a deck and auto-magically populate individual thumbnails.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am hoping Miro provides more board owner controls, e.g., only the author can move content, backgrounds are designed and set and cannot be moved around, and MUCH more choice in fonts, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving the need to share tangible content with customers to co-create solutions and make decisions quickly. Miro is indispensable for helping our creative team quickly share ideas, plan projects, prototype concepts, and test and shape them with end-users.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take time to watch the terrific how-to videos, dive in and try it out with an internal team meeting, make sure everyone understands to LOCK content and use frames and to NOT unlock content.
Awesome collaboration tool for remote teams!
What do you like best about the product?
It's a really good replacement for the whiteboard, you can pretty much put anything on it and organize really well. It's great for running standups, brainstorms, feedback sessions, planning exercises and anything in-between!
What do you dislike about the product?
It can get quite slow if you have a lot of stuff on the board or if you have a lot of collaborators working on it at the same time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've replaced all our Whiteboard group activities with Miro during WFH times, it's quite useful, especially if you want to follow up and share the results with people (which you can't do well on the whiteboard).
We also started using Miro for a lot of organizational purposes, recently adapting it for running a 35ppl team standup & retrospective.
Beyond that, we've also switched a lot of meetings that would be just a conversation/review with some notes taken in OneNote/Email to Miro, so they became more visual with references, images, links, mind maps, etc.

Miro for Live Collaboration!
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is super easy to use. When they say "live collaboration," they mean it. You can see the mouse cursors of your colleagues moving around the board at the same time. Very neat.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that Miro isn't great at presentations. That's really the only thing that falls short. That said, they have voting, activity timers, screen share, and more.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving ways for organizations to do "continuous improvement" projects better and faster in a virtual environment during this pandemic.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look at Mural as their primary competitor, but Miro is the better solution. In general, Miro is providing us with exactly what we need, when we need it. Lastly, their pricing plans give you many options. For us, we needed something that could integrate with our existing service solutions while simultaneously being available to new clients and restricted between clients. Miro provides that with their "consultant" level plans.
Create and share ideas
What do you like best about the product?
Miro is a great tool to quickly create, present and share ideas.
Our team has recently used it for a week workshop and its collaboration capabilities made easy for us to work remotely.
Voting feature works great and helped us make quick decisions.
All visual controls are easy to use.
Some templates are very useful to get things quickly started.

What do you dislike about the product?
At the moment, I have not encountered any limitations, but I am looking forward to discover more about its integration with JIRA and other tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro is helping me with addressing communication gaps. Its visual way to create and share ideas makes it simple for the understanding of the ideas I want to share with my colleagues.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Certainly try the product for a few weeks If you have a need for a collaboration tool. Once everyone in a team is familiar with the product, the contributions flows very naturally.
Miro is a life-saver for UX & Design Thinking
What do you like best about the product?
I love the smooth and really well-designed user interface, and the way it seemlessly supports navigation and work, without me having to concentrate on it.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are not many down sides to miro, however I have to mention 2.
1) The enterprise license structure needs an update, it is not viable when you are a large corporate the way it works now.
2) The user administration for large corporations is also a little tedious.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Miro for co-creation and cross company collaboration. Miro has made it possible to complete PI plannings, Design Thinking workshop, co-creation meetings, visual recordings etc. AND it has reduced the amount of time spent on documentation
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is the best tool on the market for collaboration across a global enterprise.
It just works!
What do you like best about the product?
It's super intuitive and feels like it's my friend. It wants to help me, it wants me to succeed. It makes things easy for me, so I can create at the speed of thought. Pretty much every time I think, "What if I try this or that" and follow my instinct, it works! It's not over or undercooked in terms of features either. Plus the number of templates is super impressive. I'm a big fan of colour and shape: the templates deliver both in abundance.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are two things I've found so far that I think need improving:
1. I can't see any way to toggle between different accounts. I have a work account and a personal account and sometimes I work on both over the course of a day. It would be great if I can just jump between the two without having to log out each time.
2. When I've added text to a shape, if I change the size of one section of text, it changes the whole text in that shape. Ie, sometimes I just want to increase the size of the title text, but leave the body as is. I can't see a way to do that.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team collaboration. We're currently displaced across three different cities in Australia and very much work in an agile way. It's so good for the creative process, especially the divergent phase. Miro allows us to throw all of our disparate ideas into one location, sort and refine until the magic happens. We're finding we're more productive using it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do it! Get in there and have a play. It's good to have a reason to use it though. If you have a project you're developing or have one in progress in a similar tool, use it to compare. The best thing is I didn't have to look up how to do a single thing. I just started clicking the buttons I thought would do what I wanted and it just worked. That's very rare for an online tool. Either they're overly complicated or so abstract that you don't know what anything means. They've found a balance and it works a treat!
