What is our primary use case?
Miro Business - Enterprise is widely used for its basic user-friendly interface, allowing users to get started with little or no learning curve. The drag and drop functionality enables users to retrieve items from templates easily. It facilitates real-time collaboration over multiple teams to create, comment, and edit boards simultaneously.

Additionally, it is useful for brainstorming and collaborative brainstorming sessions such as mind mapping or design thinking. It is also beneficial for workshop facilitation for both in-person and remote teams.
One of my teams at the Flash organization was constantly missing deadlines and not following correct retrospective strategies. They were not adhering to proper agile values or following scrum correctly, which caused them to miss retrospective parts. I coached them and introduced Miro Business - Enterprise, which has been used for three to four years. I arranged collaborative brainstorming sessions and facilitated a workshop so they could document workflows and process mapping. I also guided them on the easy integration with tools such as Jira, Confluence, and Slack, which the organization uses. Currently, there are no problems, the team is collaborative, and retrospectives have been greatly beneficial.

Advanced integrations are supported with Adobe, Jira, Slack, Google Drive, and Confluence.
The infinite whiteboard and customizable templates have been helpful because whenever a whiteboard is needed, it provides an infinite canvas with customized templates. When looking for a dedicated board for a project or upcoming sprint, it provides a shared space where the team can brainstorm and collaborate easily. Miro Business - Enterprise has been a game changer for the organization in terms of collaboration between teams and has provided a strong return on investment.

Data shows that effective conflict management has improved by 68 percent. Overall, it has been excellent for planning and ideation using boards and templates.

I really appreciate Miro's extensive template system because it offers a wide variety of templates that help me stay organized and ensure that I don't get lost in the system. This feature is particularly useful for my school projects as it provides structure and supports project management efficiently. Additionally, I love that Miro allows me to add a plethora of pictures and GIFs, which significantly enhances the visual appeal of my work. The ability to incorporate these visual elements helps in creating a great overview, making my projects more engaging and easier to understand.

AI-Driven Efficiency with a Smooth Setup
What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate the AI feature in Miro which translates ideas into screens swiftly and efficiently. This feature stands out to me because it reduces the need for an entire UI team to create designs, offering significant convenience and efficiency in my workflow. It's particularly valuable when prototyping before moving onto Figma, making the initial phase of design much smoother and collaborative. Additionally, the initial setup of Miro was incredibly smooth, which contributed positively to my user experience. Overall, these aspects make Miro an invaluable tool in my design process.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that Miro charges for its AI feature, which I find adds an unnecessary cost to utilizing its full potential.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro's AI feature for quick and efficient prototyping, transforming ideas into screens without needing a full UI team.
This tool makes information sharing remarkably smooth and intuitive. Its interface allows anyone to start using it without confusion, which helps teams focus on the content rather than the mechanics of collaboration. Features are thoughtfully designed to reduce friction, support collective understanding, and improve the overall quality and speed of group work. Overall, it provides a reliable and user-friendly environment for effective communication and teamwork.
What do you like best about the product?
I especially appreciate how Miro allows me to paste materials and visualize information clearly. I first used it in the TCL program at Tama Art University, and it immediately changed how I work. This feature helps every team member understand information from the same perspective, making projects move forward more efficiently. It creates a shared view among people with different backgrounds, which makes discussions smoother and more productive. The setup was simple, so onboarding was quick and painless. It also works well for organizing my own thoughts using images, stamps, and illustrations. Miro has greatly improved information sharing, document review, and team discussions. In workshops, using digital sticky notes eliminates paper costs. And when creating reports, I can export text with AI and download it as CSV, which saves a significant amount of time. Overall, I rate Miro extremely highly for its clarity, efficiency, and practicality.
What do you dislike about the product?
While I appreciate Miro overall, I have encountered several issues that I hope will be improved. For users who are not yet comfortable with the tool, sticky notes or frames sometimes disappear unexpectedly, and it is not always clear how to undo changes. The sharing and access management system can also be confusing. Even after adjusting settings, some users could not log in, which caused significant difficulties during collaborative sessions. In addition, formatting text on sticky notes was not intuitive at first, and in some cases it was not possible at all. I would like this to be smoother and more reliable. The AI features also feel underdeveloped. It would be extremely helpful if users could simply request “Create a workshop outline” or “Set up a workspace” and have AI generate it. Another limitation is that the timer is not available in the free plan. On smartphones, users cannot input text easily, which led to complaints during workshops. The mobile UI/UX is noticeably weaker than the desktop experience. In Japan especially, many students do not have personal computers and rely primarily on smartphones, so improving mobile functionality is essential.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro to streamline project communication, share materials, and facilitate discussions by visualizing different perspectives so the entire team can align more easily. In workshops that use sticky notes, it helps reduce paper waste and lowers costs. When preparing reports, the AI-assisted text extraction and CSV download features save a significant amount of time. Miro is also helpful for organizing my own thoughts using illustrations, stamps, and images. As a project manager, I often need to gather and consolidate feedback from many participants. Miro allows me to collect a large number of opinions at once and organize them digitally, which is far more efficient than working with paper. Participants may need brief guidance at first, but once they get used to it, the tool becomes intuitive. I believe not only adults but also Japanese high school students should use Miro more, as it encourages clearer communication and collaborative thinking.

When the board gets crowded, navigation becomes less intuitive. It’s easy to lose context or misplace frames, especially when multiple teams collaborate. Better organization tools or smarter auto-grouping would make the experience smoother.

The initial setup was effortless, taking just about 5 minutes, which is highly convenient for quick initiation of projects.

This complexity in access reduces efficiency and creates frustration for both myself and the clients.

Effortless Prototyping with Superior AI

This ease of use extends to the overall experience, which I find genuinely impressive. What adds to the seamless experience is the super easy setup — simply signing in is all I need to start, which is fantastic. I didn’t feel the need to integrate Miro with any other tools, as it stands well on its own, covering all my needs effectively. Finally, my positive experience was affirmed by my team's approval, as we found no reason to switch from Miro, and its overall usability certainly makes it likely for me to recommend it to others.
