Miro has enabled us to run remote brainstorming sessions, which is helpful during these times.
What do you like best about the product?
I like its real-time collaboration features. For instance, in our agile team, we can host our ceremonies on Miro (i.e. story-pointing exercises, kanban boards, etc.) I've also found it helpful for card sorting and design thinking sessions to gain insights on taxonomies and site navigation.
What do you dislike about the product?
In all honesty, there's little I dislike. There's a slight learning curve to using Miro if you haven't used it or similar applications before, but Miro does a good job of walking you through the interface and different functionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working with fully remote teams and getting stakeholder feedback and alignment when it comes to design direction can be challenging when only relying on video conferencing applications. With Miro, there's an interface where everyone actively participates, making it both practical and engaging.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I'd recommend exploring Miro and all it has to offer. There's a ton of stuff that can be really useful if you're aware of them beforehand.
My experience with Miro
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the ease of use of Miro and the ability to collaborate simultaneously with my colleagues. In this way we are able to carry out our tasks faster and in a more organized way.
What do you dislike about the product?
The thing I like least are the arrows, too small! (and sometimes they don't connect well) and maybe the chat notifications sometimes go unnoticed.
As for the rest I like and appreciate everything!

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows me to work with my colleagues during this quarantine period and continue to design my products. With Miro I also solved the problem of organization with my colleagues and I improved the quality of my works.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start using it without fear, it is really comfortable and useful. I advise you to experiment a lot at the beginning using all the tools available on the left. It will make your life easier.
Virtual facilitation without boundaries
What do you like best about the product?
The diverse range of shape tools, icon libraries, video embed options, presentation and facilitation functions make this such a versatile platform. The tool is deep for a workshop facilitator while also being simple enough for the basic first-time uses. The ability to share boards and create co-creation spaces has been a game-changer during COVID and fast-followers like Microsoft have a long way to come to cover this gap.
What do you dislike about the product?
On occasion, performance has been sluggish but this has been improved lately. The lack of public/annonymous boards was an issue before but is now made available. I look forward to the ability to force password use on public boards going forward as a company admin for cyber risk protection. Archiving and board organisation capabilities are limited. Slightly complicated enterprise pricing plan with lacking usage analytics tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Workshop facilitation was a real challenge before. Miro makes it possible to make space and visualise any conversation.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider how you will organise, distribute accountability for administration and archive your documentation as part of your roll-out plans. This has been something we have had to come back to retrospectively to ensure sustainability of our use of the platform.
great collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
- user interface
- it has various tools i.e icon finder, image search which makes the online experience to lively
- smart drawing and white board drawing using pencil is very helpful in hand drawing activities

What do you dislike about the product?
when there are too many templates or frames in the board, it takes time to load, take backup. Sometimes it even hangs and does not backup the data properly
It also does not have word suggestions when you mis spell the words, however it does underline if words if they incorrect

Recommendations to others considering the product:
i would highly recommend Miro for any online workshops whether its interactive or not. Miro covers almost all the aspects of virtual experience. It is so far the best alternative to face to face communication/interaction which brings all the elements on table to make your online collaboration richer.
Using Miro as a product designer for 2 years
What do you like best about the product?
I definitely like to use Miro to share flows and concepts with different stakeholders. It takes less time than crafting a prototype in early stage of development so during the design development stage, I'd like to use Miro to share my design.
What do you dislike about the product?
I must establish the use of Miro for concepts and development because it's not suitable for a final hand off to developer. After finishing several projects, I experienced that other stakeholders got confused about the final spec. The single source of truth is important to avoid miscommunication.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I get to share and collect feedbacks from peers and other stakeholders easily. I can also illustrate flows by providing key screens with arrows.
Great for all virtual teams in this era
What do you like best about the product?
- Ability to see live changes
- Color availability
- Smart alignment of shapes
- Fast copy with one button
- Timer and voting apps included inside

What do you dislike about the product?
- I continually accidentally move objects if they're not locked, and it's hard to come back and lock things after the board is in use.
- The ability to scroll left and right in a panel view would be nice instead of having to drag the screen. The bottom right navigation panel is usually too small to be able to get things into the view I want, especially if I just want to move to the left a smidge.
- Also, if things are locked I can't copy one object. I have to unlock everything to copy one item of an entire board of locked items.
- When I unlock items, the previous groupings are removed
- When voting, it puts ALL the stickies as options instead of if I only want 3 stickies to be voted on
- Moving horizontal lines is difficult. The line doesn't stay straight because the left side is a fixed point

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a great visual for whiteboarding and alignment. We use it for our Agile PI plannings, and being able to see all team dependencies on one board has been a blessing. We also use it for retrospectives, which MIRO was a great tool to pivot to when we had to all be remote due to COVID.

Great for virtual collaboration
Simple, Efficient, and Brilliant: Miro
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Miro is the ability to collaborate with my colleagues, and to share our ideas and concepts with one another. It's great that we can leave sticky notes and comments (especially in different colours which is great for colour coding purposes!) for one another on our ideas to further explore our concepts virtually. I also love the range of different types of boards and mindmaps that we can use to help share and collaborate with one another in a virtual setting. Being able to see who's online at the time is also another great bonus to using Miro.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not much that I dislike about Miro, but sometimes the boards can be a bit slow to load, this could be because of the file sizes myself and my colleagues are trying to upload and view. Other than that, there's not much else to dislike about Miro!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problems myself and my colleagues are solving with Miro are through live, virtual collaboration with one another. It's been beneficial, especially during these unprecedented times, to be able to work and communicate with each our virtually, from home, while still feeling like we're working together in the same space.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're thinking about using Miro, give it a try! It's the perfect solution to collaborating virtually with your team.
Effective real-time collaboration for planning, ideation, and workshops - recommend!
What do you like best about the product?
I was an early user of RealTimeBoard and found the idea great, but execution not quite there. With the rebrand to Miro the product has taken a leap forward!
The smooth ability to collaborate on a large open board has proved invaluable in several situations - art/idea boards, running retros, quarter planning, cross-team collaboration, value mapping, the list goes on.
The recently quick updates and feature additions have been good to see and welcome.
I've used Miro in a startup setting, with remote co-founders. It was really good as an asynch platform to update early ideas and user stories while refining the idea. Even on the free tier, the available templates really helped to frame thinking and speed us up, as we didn't have to go from scratch.

What do you dislike about the product?
I found the Mac app to be slow and resource heavy. It does seem to have improved, but I still use the web interface most of the time. It would be nice to be able to turn off only my cursor at times.
I've had trouble with adding integrations.
I've had trouble with adding integrations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have had two use cases: 1. In a bigger company on a design focussed project, and 2. A early stage startup idea, pre-seed.
The first was around having large, collaborative art board space where designs and ideas could be viewed, commented on, and adapted, both in real time workshops and asynchronous.
The second was about using ideation tools, such as business canvases, or user story design, to help flesh out and validate an idea. Using one board to cross multiple areas and find the overlaps really helped in determining our flow when creating our story.

Try it with your team. And implement it into your processes by one license.
Best tool for digital pinups and creative timelines
What do you like best about the product?
Miro lets you see everything you want to at once and lets you edit it in real-time, super easily. For studio projects, group and individual, I have created displays upon displays of work with images, texts, videos, and links, with absolutely no problem. I am convinced there is no better product for this service.
What do you dislike about the product?
Exporting sections of Miro can get a little bit difficult if you have such large boards with so much content.This may not be possible, or may have since been implemented without me knowing, but it would be nice if Miro boards would keep a running list of the corresponding files on your laptop, or even update in real-time. like Adobe is able to do with special objects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro has helped my creative process in model building and additional exploration as an architecture student. I can record any tangents I choose to investigate, from varying graphic representations of models to the work of artists covered in studio. Miro also makes casually sharing things digitally possible. I don't have to create a final set of pinup boards to share what I'm doing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think Miro is a valuable product when working between physical and digital mediums. I think Miro is best used as a. tool for both visualization and documentation of things that may not otherwise be simultaneously viewable– keeping up with documents and digital versions/scans however is really important to perfect this sort of work flow.
