Just perfect, with very few areas of improvement
What do you like best about the product?
Real time collaboration. Awesome interface. Beautiful (yes, it's a beautiful tool) and super easy to use. I've used it to facilitate workshops to different types of groups from different countries, and everyone loved it. I use it for my daily work planning as well, and even for school and my personal life. It definitely boosts your creativity and helps you get things done.
What do you dislike about the product?
For the sake of nitpicking, there are some features that could be added, but I've already submitted my ideas to the Miro team and I'm happy with their response. The other thing they could work on is accessibility for older folks; I've had 60 year old peers really struggling to understand the very basic stuff like how to zoom in and out and move around the board and add sticky notes. My office has people of all ages, from 19 to 60, and sometimes we all need to align on the same tools, so you can imagine the challenge.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's just fantastic for virtual collaboration, especially during the pandemic, it just makes it feel like real life interaction with your peers. Keeping people engaged is key.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Keep an open mind and don't be scared of a blank canvas. Using this tool feels like a breeze for younger folks, but can be challenging for older people; still, it's worth the try and can really boost your teams productivity, engagement and overall virtual collaboration.
Complete solution for visual, interactive, iterative and adaptive collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
The completeness. I'm a Creative Producer of Innovation and help clients to get from A to B while B doesn't exist yet. That requires goalsetting, idea generation, tests/experiments and learning together to improve on the ideas until the desired results are realized. Miro offers everything I need.
You can draw, add prefabs of all sorts, expand/shrink all elements (it's vector oriented I think), connect them with lines/arrows, create templates, collaborate in real time (with an account) and videoconference within Miro, add comments, there's a voting module, connections to 3rd party apps (including unsplash.com for great visuals, add iframe codes, and more), organize your project with frames and export them to different formats, there's a web/smartphone/tablet-app, and much more.
As a visual thinker/worker, performer/moviemaker/illustrator Miro is my go-to app for developing outlines for books, training courses, shows, documentaries, workshops. With an affordable account ($20/month) I set up boards for my clients to get an overview of the program we're building, brainstorm in real time, video conference, summarize a workshop I did for them. In my online workshops you can use one board and let every breakout room use their own corner but they also see the others produce ideas.
Can't speak highly enough about how well thought through this tool is and how well executed it is.

Amazing Whiteboard Application
What do you like best about the product?
Limitless space to create whiteboard activities. Integrated video chat and the ability to invite non-team members as guest editors. The best solution for converting my in-person workshop to a virtual one. I have created a voting activity, created breakout room boards, converted Powerpoint slides to frames, and can now launch our virtual workshop later this year.
What do you dislike about the product?
With the large space comes a bit cumbersome navigation. Can be resolved using a mouse not a trackpad, but adds to the need for user training before hosting a collaborative event
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Converting a 3-day in-person workshop to a five-session online version. The workshop is high interaction and group activities and needed something that would allow for group interaction, a virtual wall to hang visual tools, and strong facilitator tools. Using Miro ic can present content, lead discussions that include group responses, host voting, chat activities, and host videos. I am very impressed with the flexibility and integration with tools like G Drive and Jira.
Great collaborative tool for education and work
What do you like best about the product?
The best feature is that it is really user friendly. In seconds, my students started to use it, it is intuitive and has a great design. I love also its templates, I have discovered some that have been really useful to start a collaborative activity.
What do you dislike about the product?
Probably the price, but with the educational license, it has been enough to perform activities with my different groups. I would also like a tool to select different elements quickly. The desktop software was to heavy, it took a lot of time to work, I prefer using the cloud version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In online education, it has been a virtual workspace. I have done from idea generation sessions to team building activities. It is easy to share. It offers an educational license. Even the free version allows to use most of the important features, the limit is the number of boards or that you cannot create teams, but almost everything else works great.
Miro makes remote work possible
What do you like best about the product?
The cohesiveness of the product is the feature that I enjoy the most. Combined with the miroverse community and templates, miro is the one-stop-shop for digital whiteboarding activities. I do not know how I could manage in a remote working world without it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Requires training to become familiar with how to find things. Not a knock on the product but I think there are some community organic tips that might need to be baked into the tool in the future such as a "Start here" concept. You can use a digital pencil with it but isn't really a good suit for the product yet without grouping or doing tedious work to manage it. Sometimes being a one-stop-shop works against it where there might be too many tools or features that can be added. I think any enterprise that adopts it may want to create a guide on what's useful day to day as it can become overwhelming.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communicating in a remote environment on abstract ideas. Miro has lots of integrations and makes it easy to dump things into and refine over time as well as collaborate with many people. This makes running workshops very easy and makes it a great instructional tool. Working in an Agile software development group it has made teaching and communicating agile concepts much easier. In the past before Covid we'd need to find giant white paper and conference rooms just to show a simple idea. Now we can walk people through quick activities and get that feedback immediately. It is a huge timesaver and most people can grasp the concepts quickly.
Miro is worth the dinero!
What do you like best about the product?
It is intuitive in design. An endless whiteboard that expands as needed with grids or just white background. There are two sets of tools that can be changes out and features integrated as needed. it is surprisingly fast and easy to conduct for meetings, working through ideas, and even database design.
What do you dislike about the product?
There features are constantly updating (which is great) but sometimes there are small unwanted effects that comes with rolling out these feature. They are usually fixed quickly.
The big thing is telling my clients to please go into their settings to allow the chat feature to appear. There should be a note at the top stating what they need to do for the chat feature to work.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anything from database design, project management , and teaching students. I have even used it for very important presentations for legal and financial matters because it provides a great way to delineate date through time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Play around with it. It has many use cases and sometimes it can take a little playing around with.
Great collaboration tools for creative team!
What do you like best about the product?
It's a giant whiteboard that can keep getting bigger. It's very easy to move creative around and allows everyone to comment. This has been a great tool with a 100% remote creative team.
We have a different board for each project or campaign and it helps to see all the creative for one campaign at once.
We've also used it for creative brainstorming, the sticky notes allow for each user to provide feedback anonymously.
When on a call, everyone can follow each other's mouse. Someone can take over the screen so we are all looking at the same thing. This is a very neat feature that we starting using for creative critiques.
Lastly, we've enjoyed being able to share the boards publicly with other teams that might not need to use the tool, but like to see what our team is working on.

What do you dislike about the product?
We haven't figured out the best way to organize versions of projects as they move along. The board can look disorganized. There isn't any integration with our project management too, monday.com.
Comments don't stick to the item they are associated with, if you move an image that had a comment, the comment stays where the image was. This is very confusing and makes for more work in the long run.

Collaboration and open feedback from team members that review work. It's easy to share work-in-progress. Our team has improved the amount of work they share before it goes off to stakeholders.
Multiple team communication. With the public link feature, it's helpful to share it with other teams so they can be in the loop about our projects.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go for it, it's a great tool for sharing work. I haven't seen anything like it. Monday.com had a similar feature but it's on the lite side. We are keeping Miro in the mix. With the team account, you can pay for exactly the number of people that are using the tool. If you have people that will just ve viewing things, they don't need an account. You can just share the public link to the board.
Miro makes working from home easy
What do you like best about the product?
I think it's just easy to use and well designed. Any chance I can, I encourage people to use it as an easy way to add notes, collaborate , or just build a growing database with it. I'm still using the 3 free boards and haven't really found a need to upgrade yet. Perhaps with more options that allow me to be more creative (more sketching abilities explained below), I would consider it. All in all, I think it's perfect.
What do you dislike about the product?
While there's nothing I dislike, it would be wonderful if the sketch tool included pen pressure and different kinds of brushes. Maybe it's difficult to program such a feature online but I think it would be a game changer for designers + creatives who could sketch / draw directly in the app without having to use another software like Procreate / Photoshop / or Illustrator. I don't think it would need to be a heavily developed feature, just an improvement on what is there now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have a small design team and we use Slack for communications across the different projects. Sometimes they can get overwhelming so Miro allows you to see it all at a glance which has been helpful. Also the fact that it has really no learning curve makes it easy to bring in team members.
The best planing tool ever.
What do you like best about the product?
it is super easy to use and you can put your ideas with a clear setup. It works for everything you need to think.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it has some bugs moving the mouse.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Almost every project I start... begins in miro.

Just try it... it´s free.
