Great distributed workshops with intuitive and user-friendly interface (even for beginners)
What do you like best about the product?
First of all, the possibility for workshop participants without registering at Miro is great. Very good is the function to protect each board with a password. The simultaneous creative work makes the workshops productive and valuable. The preparation for an appointment is easy, fast with storable templates and very well facilitated. The functions to hide frames at the beginning as well as to bring participants on the board to my area is really good.
What do you dislike about the product?
From my point of view you already get more than all necessary features for my purposes. So I can't think of anything serious that I miss or that doesn't work at the moment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Distributed Workshops; Brain storming sessions; all Scrum related events like Planning, Refinement, Retrospectives and Dailies; internal Meetings
A resource to energize the interaction of ideas between peers
What do you like best about the product?
At the beginning of this period of work at home, we were faced with new challenges in which our students had to interact effectively in real time. Miro allowed us to provide the information we needed to several groups of students, share their perceptions and keep them on a digital board
What do you dislike about the product?
One of the things that sometimes caused us difficulty, is in a way the great freedom of access to the boards, since in some moments the students edit important elements of the configuration of these and time is lost placing images or slogans again

Highly recommended
What do you like best about the product?
the way we can interact with colleagues is fluent and help a lot when you need collaboration in a virtual way of work
Templates are also useful
Templates are also useful
What do you dislike about the product?
Not dislike but I would like to have more tools in terms of ordering / sort the object in the boards, like adjust at the same size the notes, other objects etc for a better look, another thing is to have the same quality of templates we can see in the selector screen, it changes a lot between what I expected to see in the board.
Miro uses a lot of resources (memory) of the laptop, some times it difficults the interaction

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Recommended tool for collaboration work
Miro great for distributed teams!
What do you like best about the product?
Miro allows my team to work collaboratively no matter how far apart we are. It makes meeting facilitation easy whether with my team that works together regularly or with a group of people who have never met. Being able to collaborate with coworkers with out everyone having to create an account is huge for me as I am often asked to facilitate one time meetings and can now use Miro with everyone I appreciate that Miro is constantly working on the product and adding new features.
What do you dislike about the product?
The email spam after signing up is a nuisance. I have found the lock feature to be a must especially with larger groups and groups with new Miro users so that the content doesn't accidently get deleted or moved around the page. Unfortunately locking an item locks all interactions with it as well as its placement. I wish there was a separate "anchor" feature that would allow the item to not be moved but allow it's content to be edited or links to be clicked etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have used Miro to facilitate team retrospectives, Sprint planning, team charters, and brainstorming sessions. I have also created a "How To Miro" board that I direct first time users to before a meeting so they cam become better acquainted with the tools.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I suggest first time users go through the help material that Miro provides and really get to know the tool. When facilitating a meeting or introducing new team members to Miro it is helpful to have your own How To Board that shows how to use just the features they will need instead of everyone having to learn about all of Miro's features.
Amazing for online learning
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to all be making notes and comments and have exactly what was said in the board to go back to
What do you dislike about the product?
There's nothing I dislike. The program runs smoothly on both internet and the app, its just amazing
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been using miro for critiques in classes and ive been using it personally as a brainstorming platform it helps tons
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Encourage the use of post it notes, the pen, and comments features, it helps you can go back and look at everything that happened during the meeting or crit.
Quick sketches for quick understanding
What do you like best about the product?
The versatility, you can change the forms you can draw easily the arrows, zoom in and zoom out, copypaste, move rotate, everything you need is very easy to do and to learn to do.
What do you dislike about the product?
Too few sketchbooks on the free version. The templates are not so helpful, in the end it's more comfortable to start from zero, at least for me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I do mock ups for software requirements, I do mock ups of mailings, some diagrams for personal use, some timelines to coach friends with their planning problems, etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want to communicate ideas easy and fast, for example, doing a sketch to explain something on a meeting, try Miró.
The virtual office's intuitive and smart white board!
What do you like best about the product?
I was introduced to Miro by a coach who taught me UX with it. We could both work on it in real-time, and it was like being in class together even though we were 100s of miles apart. Lately, I've come to appreciate Miro even more as it was an invaluable platform for a virtual collaboration that included team members from the UK to China. We completed a team project without any hassle or headaches. Miro is like a whiteboard with a menu section. Whatever you want to do- create customer journeys or wireframes, or to dump ideas and thoughts, Miro has you covered. It didn't freeze, or hang or crash, even when up to 15 people were on the board at the same time. It is the best tool to make sure that your team stays on the same page, or on the same board (pun intended). It's also a great way to show the evolution of a working process and a design idea to stakeholders outside your team. Best of all, the free version is amazing for teams.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't say there's anything I dislike about it. Like most software, I know Miro is capable of much more than I currently use it for, and I look forward to learning how to effectively maximize it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are creating an art project using Miro, and the benefits are many. Team members drop their design ideas on the board and others can then view at their convenience. The board is massive, so the team never runs out of space. Miro has built-in tools that allow users to connect ideas, comment on other people's ideas, highlight changes, and even play video files! We have been able to pool our thoughts and ideas together to create something amazing even though most of us has not physically met.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give Miro a try and you will not be disappointed. If you're working in a virtual team and you don't want people to get lost in the weeds, Miro is the best board to keep you all thinking in the same direction.
Great for holding virtual workshops
What do you like best about the product?
That teams can collaborate in a virtual space, almost like you would in person. I like that we don’t need to “pack away” a workshop when it is done and we can build on it outside of the workshop.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tech issues when you have some attendees not being able to see the Miro board it’s just black for them. So the alternative is for us to get these contributors to contribute through another channel (teams) and we share our screen so they can follow along. It would be great to play “thinking” music when we ask people to brainstorm than it being so quiet on the line, and it’s not quite the same when you play it out of another device.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to collaborate and generate ideas in a virtual working environment. We have practice days where our practice comes together to hone our skills as designers - we hold a few Miro board session to run these workshops - We’ve heard other teams cancel their practice days when they can’t meet in one place! We’ve proven that we don’t always need to be in the same space in one time to hone team skills
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it, explore what’s possible, it’ll change your approach to some of your workshops and team collaboration for the better.
Simple yet useful
What do you like best about the product?
The biggest one is that it has lesser input lag on my Wacom Tablet compared to the competition. One of the great benefits of the platform is the implemetation of drawing in the whiteboards. This helps me to draw on an established section of the presentation without worrying too much on those traces to disappear (ej. like the markers of Powerpoint). Other benefit it's the zoom capability on any part of the whiteboard, this (in addition to the last benefit) aids me on managing the space I had planned for the classroom.
What do you dislike about the product?
For now, that the free service limits you to 3 whiteboards. It's makes you more cautious on the material you are creating at best. At worst it's creating more stress for making a reliable one all-be all whiteboard. The other one is that I need to hustle around the fact that I need to create externally LaTeX equations, for me it is vital for my online classes and giving a more professional appeal of my presentations with the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating an e-learning enviorment that is appealing to my students and it's easier to me to work with them. One of the benefits are the snippets of different sources; it is a powerful tool for linking eye-catching resources to an already charming presentation. The plus is that I can create a presentation and write on it without a problem of the drawings getting erased.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Have a reliable drawing tablet (like the one from Wacom) for aiding the drawing software tools on your disposal. If it is possible, stream the board on one computer, and in other device stream your voice, mostly for the peformance on the computer when rendering the visuals.
The best virtual whiteboarding tool I’ve found!
What do you like best about the product?
Simple, clean interface - aesthetically, it’s beautiful. And the team is adding the right functionality in time.
What do you dislike about the product?
You fixed my dislike! Although it would be great to integrate with Spotify so power facilitators can use their own curated playlists for workshops.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
How to mimic an in-person collaboration session with highly-visual artifacts. We use it to ideate and select options for our product ideas
