Robust, Essential, and High Functioning platform, especially for visual people
What do you like best about the product?
I like how the options are easy to navigate. Every template has an explanation of what and why you would use it, so new users won't be overwhelmed. I love the features and functions; they are extremely versatile and flexible. I'm a visual learner so it's ideal for someone like me. It keeps me organized. I don't have an agenda at work, I use Miro for that. Excellent for team planning and organizing. I really like how they teach you how to use the platform through their university. It doesn't cost an arm and a leg, which is always a plus. It saves everything automatically, I NEVER have to worry about losing data. Great for brainstorming all the way to the execution stage.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not the easiest for non-technical people, if people aren't used to such a platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm solving organizational and admin issues, team efficiency, and my mental health; if I'm not organized it drives me crazy and stresses me out. If realized I needed Miro years ago.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's free to make an account. Try it out and see if it fits your line of work, it's definitely going to meet your expectations regardless.
Incredible collaborative tool for the first steps of design process
What do you like best about the product?
The way I can create a lot of boars and put things integrated, links, etc. And work in a collaborative way.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like so much the tool for prototyping, it is too limited and has some problems
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use miro to see everything that I gather from each new feature I'm building in the same place, as I could do in a wall, but better because I can put links, videos and quickly revisit everything about that. But the thing that I most love about it is to manage those boards together with other designers, PMs, engineering and use it also for presenting what I found, the open questions and my ideas.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is like an intelligent wall on your remote work. It can really help you in your work. Use it to visually see everything you know about a product, competitors, features, ideas, questions. It's easier to work when you see everything that was in your mind, in a board.
Miro makes live online collaboration meaningful.
What do you like best about the product?
I like it that it's easy to share a link to a Miro board with all participants without downloading an app. It's also better than sharing a screen as the resolution is higher.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be tricky for some who are less technically confident to understand how to use it - I facilitated one workshop with mainly retirees who found it challenging.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Facilitating online collaborative workshops. It's made it possible to harvest contributions from participants.
A great tool to collaborate, inspire, and create
What do you like best about the product?
Miro has thought of nearly every possible brainstorming 'tool' to apply to a board - sticky notes, voting buttons, integrated timers and music, other misc. graphics, templates, and more
What do you dislike about the product?
The security is lacking a bit for business. Public link sharing is a great option to collaborate easily, quickly and openly. However it puts the burden of security and data privacy on the business since there are limited checks and protections Miro offers as part of the software and sharing settings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
HR Policy planning, request workflow using ServiceNow for specific application requests.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure to clear data and privacy concerns with the business' InfoSec group before proceeding with plan to use the product.
A very flexible and collaborative tool
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility to design clear visual items, add post-its, and so on. And it is fun (easy to add images, colors,...)!
It is very easy to use, to navigate in the virtual workspace, by swiping and by zooming in and out.
There are a few useful feature like a timer, a feature to bring everyone's screen to the same location of the virtual workspace (very useful when you get lost).
It is also possible to define the landing page for collaborators to automatically arrive where you want in the board (e.g. an "introduction" space).

What do you dislike about the product?
It is an additional tool that comes on top of other tools like OneNote, Teams' whiteboard,... but its features are worth it.
I regularly accidentally moving an object without meaning to, sometimes without noticing what I did.
The downside of the number of features is that it can feel a it overwhelming. It takes a little bit of learning time to know where the useful features are.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows collaborating in real-time on a same visual a little like we would at an in-person meeting.
For example, as participants you can put up your photos with a bit of presentation. This point is even better than in-person meetings where it can be challenging to remember everyone's name and their info, whereas on Miro, you can go back there and look at the photos/names/presentations.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking for a tool to help compensate the distance between collaborators, especially in this time of WFH and lockdowns, Miro could be the tool to help create proximity for real-time collaborative work.
Easy to use, constantly being updated and good support and community
What do you like best about the product?
Super easy to learn and use but not lacking features. Integration with tons of apps make it even more powerfull.
The large community and shared templates provide with inspiration and tons of examples to quicky start a new project
Free account also provides enough features for small and ocasional users.
Very good performe either in the webapp and windows aplication.
Smarter than most other option, with the formating and default option being intuitive and easy to use.
exporting is also great, the only improvement would be to sort stick notes by color when exporting to excel.
tables are great and also easy to manipulate and timers are very usefull.
Voting works well, but still could be improved
Mindmapping i also usefull in some situation and is very capable.
overall very happy with my consultant plan. tons of options for a good price

What do you dislike about the product?
As a consultant working with clients and organizing large workhop I miss the fact that there is no "god option" so you block the canvas and everyone just sees what you see, you can still bring people to your "screen" but they can still go off and get lost in the canvas.
One option to temporary block the canvas and make everyone follow you would be a great add to the presentation mode
blocking elements on the canvas is still a cumbersome process especially if you have a lot of elements. would be nice to have a filter to select all the stick notes or all the non editable elements for examples. also i feel that it would be easier to have a layer approach instead of elements.
Videochat works good but still no option for rooms creation

Extremely useful & versatile brainstorming software 💪🏻
What do you like best about the product?
So many different options, possibilities, templates, ... to be used to address so many different types of business situations
Also totally FREE as 'single use' allowing newcomers to really dive into it & use it for personal use.

What do you dislike about the product?
Not sure I've gotten there yet ;-)
Perhaps the only thing is that there's sooo many types & templates to use that it's sometimes difficult to figure out which one would be best for what you're trying to achieve. But that's merely a 'luxury problem' ;-)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently using it (by myself) to work out a completely new business concept. Once we will start with the development of this new concept, will DEFINITELY be switching to multi-user to involve the (initially external) developers & the team to further brainstorm & work out the more fine details of certain aspects.
But Miro REALLY helps in visualizing all of this!

Simple to use and collaborate
What do you like best about the product?
I use Miro to create complex workflows. It has a rich collection of elements that help me create an easily understood workflow. It can be easily shared across the team. We also use Miro for online collaboration. The latency is almost zero even when a large team is working in real-time. Overall, it was of great help to me to running whiteboard sessions for group meetings while everyone was working from home. We use Miro even when I was at the University to have brainstorming sessions for our group projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
The export and download option of Miro is not intuitive. There should be an import option where non-miro content could be uploaded. I do not like its pricing model. For e.g. Free plan users can collaborate on 3 of the most recently created boards.

Amazing Tool for your workflow
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, a lot of integrations, multi plattform
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing. I think it's a great tool and there is constant improvement
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visualizing my ideas to think through the process of the problem I want to solve
Miro has changed the way my team works
What do you like best about the product?
Miro gives an unlimited and creative space to store, view, reflect, and create. Our team loves how easy it is to all work together at the same time on the same boards, without the need to share screens (which keeps our computers running smoothly). The endless white board space is addictive, and now it's hard to be refined to PPTs or use any other methods for our team to store data, create overviews, or brainstorm new ideas.
What do you dislike about the product?
When working together on the same board, it's still necessary to have a call via Teams to be able to talk to one another. Could be nice if it was possible already to do this in Miro, to require less programs open at once on the computers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are no longer restricted to one slide, or a word document. The format of one endless white board allows us to create amazing, unrestricted overviews, and still have everything in one place for easy reference.

Give it a try and you won't be able to work without it any longer
