Perfect timing for group collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Miro has been a great tool during our work shutdown. I have been able to take a group of people who sometimes have difficulties using new software and have taught them to not only use our Miro board to show performance measures, but people have really enjoyed using it (especially being able to see changes in real time). Because of it's ease of use everyone has been able to participate in updating our measures.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unfortunately when sharing this program with others, they have created boards that I cant remove (unless we pay for the subscription), but other than this it has been great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been able to update information regarding performance measures to create a tier board. From this we can start planning on how to perform better as a team.

Miro - A Part of the Everyday Suite
What do you like best about the product?
What's not to like? The free form dashboards where you can build out brainstorm sessions, org charts, kanban boards, etc. all in one view. How easily teams can collaborate and stay connected in a virtual world. Sticky notes are an incredible feature in terms of team collaboration and brainstorming- I'd say it's easily one of the top used features/functionality. The user experience and design- every tool and template is visually appealing, easy to use, and easy to understand/present to clients and teams. The organization of teams and boards to a very granular level make for easy organization of internal teams and clients boards.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside is not enough people know about it. There's always a bit of a learning curve, but once your team is on board you won't turn back. Otherwise, there isn't many areas of improvement for Miro. It combines some of your favourite and best collaboration techniques and tools into one.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Biggest problem that's been solved with Miro is keeping teams and clients connected during a notably tough time. For the most part, we've all gone virtual and keeping teams/clients engaged via email and phone calls can be tiring. Miro boards enable real-time collaboration in a fun and meaningful way. Most recently, I've been using Miro as a Kanban board, which I find to be an underrated template/tool. It's saved me time switching back and forth from platforms to track tasks at hand and progress for a project that is being managed/collaborated on within Miro.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be open to learning about a new way of working and collaborating with teams and dive head first into Miro. I was reluctant at first, but the more you play around with the features and functionality you'll find a lot of your collaboration/team initiatives that are hosted across multiple platforms can all be done in Miro. In one single view.
Made it exciting to collaborate in separate spaces!
What do you like best about the product?
Many people can upload and write on a free form space at the same time and all the changes are visible. The space is pretty big and can work for what ever you need it for!! For college I used it to plan multiple group projects with classmates and then show it to our professors through zoom with side by side comparison of new and old versions of our project. I also used Miro to synthesize my senior thesis and plan to use it again for other projects both personal and professional. I think it works best for me because I am a visual learner and this allows me to compare and combine anything without using paper and a pinboard. I am excited to see Miro become more popular and plan to take it to my next job when hired ! :)
What do you dislike about the product?
The one thing I have a problem with is the limit on size of uploads. It’s understandable that the page can only take so much, but it still gets tricky for bigger projects that I would like to look at fully. Past that the biggest downside is the cost, and the limitations of how many boards you can make.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro is the best online collaboration tool that can be used both professionally and personally. In stead of not being able to show all the parts of a project at once and requiring someone to download separate parts or showing something with very low quality resolution, Miro allows you to see others boards and their work in full resolution and make comments immediately. You can also create a workflow list and see edits when they happen.
Best Group Study Online Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Studying with friends online and seeing their cursor point to something they don't understand. There is no other free tool that comes to mind that has the amount of whiteboard real-estate and allows for saving a bounded area for a pdf as notes.
What do you dislike about the product?
The newest update to the pen UI makes it hard for a pen tablet user to utilize their macro buttons. I used to be able to just press the macro button to use the pen when I was done using the eraser, now I have to press the Select tool, V, first and then I can press P to get back to pen.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're mostly just solving homework and sample exam problems for engineering exams. It's better with miro as it allows anyone to clear up a misunderstanding that words most of the time cannot describe.
Game Changer for our Suddenly Remote Teams
What do you like best about the product?
Deep set of tools to enable planning remotely
Integration with other key business software in use in our organization
Ability to add users on the fly

What do you dislike about the product?
Little difficult to scale content consistently given the infinite nature of Miro boards
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were able to plan a relatively complex project in a completely new technical area with our teams all distributed. The ability to show people what we are talking about has removed barriers for us and kept our team productive.
We are also able to quickly onboard partners in our work by referencing existing Miro content.

It helps me for remote teamwork in a very easy and esthetic way.
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can do creative teamwork, diagrams, brainstorming, etc; All in a really easy to understand platform, with a lot of templates and the possibility to create your own arrangement.
What do you dislike about the product?
The quality of download of the free products like png and pdf and the limit of boards per account.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Most of the times I use it for brainstorming and to create beautiful boards. I find that it’s really easy to modify and the way you can work with other people at the same time makes this process really dynamic.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Check everything it has to offer like the templates, forms, presentation mode, etc. And
I consider it is better for teamwork but if you want, you can use it on your own and have amazing results.

Working with visual virtual elements enhance your performance
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to construct freely in a board, not necessarily with a fixed structure. For example, when constructing an experience maps for different journeys you can do everything in one board and it helps that you can resize. This resize feature helps when adding extra materials of the same project. We have been able to construct everything smoothly these days with the help of all these features in Miro. When I am looking into the opportunities to improve our work
What do you dislike about the product?
There is this feature that is missing: being able to align elements with automatic references. It would help to be able to structure a well rounded square shape maps as in Power Point that measures the space between elements. It is frustrating to be wasting time to checking if the things are aligned, because it looks not polished work if I leave things unaligned.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working with peers virtually constructing different customer experience journeys and have visual elements virtually. During these days of the COVID19 we are working 100% virtually and we have been using this platform a lot. Performing team spaces activities, mapping of experiences and having the opportunity to automatically share different board to different people is good.
Other things we have been doing are workshops with different stakeholders across the company to gather feedbacks for important projects and that has been a highlight.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use all the extra features like video call in the board, timing for different activities such a retroprespective if you are implementing scrum within your team.
The best collaborative whiteboard tool
What do you like best about the product?
Our team works with user experience design, and since march when social distancing started we've been using Miro to keep working collaboratively. It's the best tool to remotely run co-creation workshops and then consolidate all the findings.
We also use Miro to plan, execute, and wrap up user experience research and usability tests.
On another project we needed to analyze the current flow of a user interface, making recommendations, and then designing a new and ideal flow to test with users. We used Miro to upload all the screens of the current flow, then put our comments using post-its and highlighting areas with the pen tool.
We run a design thinking course to enable computation students to apply it to their daily work. We offer this course for 5 years and usually do it in our physical space, but this year Miro enable us to run all the workshops and mentoring sessions online. It has been almost 4 months, the students are finishing their projects after 12 sessions using Miro and Zoom to realize and document them.
All these possibilities are what we most liked by using Miro, so even when we return to presential we will still using, as in some projects we always work with distributed teams.

What do you dislike about the product?
Dislike is a strong word, but we'll be really happy to use other fonts, especially Montserrat, and being able to configure line spacing. Another thing is to export content as images, it would be great selecting objects before clicking to export, this way we guess it will be easier to control the size and proportion of the images, once sometimes we need to import them to Google Slides.
When we started using Miro and creating our team, some people who don't have familiarity with graphic software needed time to learn how to use and organize their work, especially by using teams on the left sidebar.
Another question was validating the budget with the financial area, once we are in Brazil and our currency is really devalued comparing to the US dollar. In our sector, we are 17 people and we have just 14 people as Miro users because of this. We really hope can have all the team at Miro briefly.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When working physically we have a big space with a lot of whiteboards, post-its, pens. The space was projected to be modular and we can build diverse environments just by moving desks, chairs, and boards from a side to another. Miro enables us to do the same online connecting with people from anywhere and creating all kinds of environments we need!
Besides our teamwork problems, we are solving complex problems guided by the design thinking approach. We facilitate sessions to define strategic referential to new business units at our innovation ecosystem (Tecnopuc), planned a new methodology to orient the creation of a business model to startups that are part of our Startup Garage program. We've developed a service design project with a client and their stakeholders at the same meeting, generating and detailing alternatives to a new model of executing professional outsourcing.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would like to say that Miro really helped our team regarding alignment, transparency, collaboration. We just maintained our work as democratic as when working together in a physical space.
The free plan also allowed our team to test diverse ways to work and validate that the tool would support our needs. During the time we're using the free plan we also could teach and incentive our colleagues that don't work on graphic software full time.
The tool enabled us to do funny retrospectives and play some games to support our relaxing moments that seemed impossible to do remotely.
The possibility of creating our own templates to run our projects is amazing, but when we don't have so much time to do it, Miroverse really helps by organizing and sharing what other people are doing and how they are working at Miro.

Miro is critical during mandatory WFH
What do you like best about the product?
We started using Miro as a tool in place of the normal in-office things we had like Hoopla boards, and white boards to track daily activity and keep engagement up. It's very easy for people to go into Miro and see what their teammates are working on and help as needed. While it's not a 1:1 replacement for being physically in the office Miro has made the transition to WFH a lot easier and more productive. Additionally, Miro can help my team spark a sense of creativity sometimes when we're trying to organize our thoughts and information, but we don't know what format to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the UI could be cleaner. Would appreciate a way to filter projects and see only the projects that I'm included in, not every single one in my team (which for us is the whole company). Would also like the default settings to keep boards more private until they are shared with a wider audience. As the product improves, would like to see options for creating more templates, having default templates per project, etc. This would help with using the tool on a regular basis with our teams. Would like an option also to include more dynamic data, maybe integration with SFDC.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Daily collaboration and communication are much easier with Miro. We've realized increased productivity as well as a greater sense of team inclusion in daily tasks. The team feels like we all align on common goals with them on the board and we can see our metrics right behind those.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try the free boards with your team and use it to run a few meetings. You won't be disappointed. It's an incredibly powerful tool to get away from powerpoint slides.

What do you dislike about the product?
Trying to see everything at once (split screen might be nice)
It is very busy - Miro has developed so fast this year (a positive) but it is now at a stage where there is so much information and activity that can be tried that it is harder to stay up to date with all the key features. It may be beneficial to simplify the messaging or create a watered down version with choice of extras?

COVID response to students learning creative thinking in teams at a distance. And it has been so good that its been the best tool for us to use in our own team meetings and global team meetings.
It has been easier to work asynchronously and synchronously.
Works well in conjunction with web conference tools
We have created a global conference with MIro, and we used it many times in workshop spaces. It is living documentation of the workshop outputs.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take some time just to play. Explore the templates. There is a large range of ways that Miro can be used.
The free boards is a great way to get started.
The academy also has some great resources to learn from.
