Miro, the tool to establish a physical collaborative world in the virtual world
What do you like best about the product?
The real-time aspect and infinite canvas for me are the most powerful features of Miro. Having real-time access to an endless whiteboard does the most to recreate the real world. I believe the most crucial aspect of any field of work is shared understanding. Something that Miro do a great job of, specifically removing the barrier to entry regarding authorisation, giving editting access and the tools to make thoughts visual. This is both a win for the UX and the technical performance of the product.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have no general criticisms of Miro but whilst I likely have a lot of ideas for Miro my only feature criticism is the ability to log in to two accounts at the same time and switch between them. This is something that Figma have recently added and I think it's a really foundational feature that will finish the foundational work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There's not an aspect of life I can't imagine Miro helping with. In my eyes, it's essentially as critical as pen and paper – it takes invisible personal thoughts and makes them visible and tangible but not only that, it does it in a single source of truth fashion.
I personally use it to develop digital products. Typically through the design process of discovery phases all the way through to delivery phases. In the discovery phase I use it to store questions, assumptions and regulation and invite colleagues and stakeholders to collaborate and discuss then I use it to validate. Then in delivery I use it to track tasks, workflows and measure up against actual activity (are we where we want to be in terms of project progress etc.)
I also use Miro to present my ideas in the Slideshow setting and have done both a work presentation and slide show as well as a virtual quiz for my friends.
My biggest use of Miro is storing ideas, thoughts, notes. Similar to how commonplace books were used in the 17th Century. I create a repository of information and understanding on a given subject matter or project.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
My biggest bit of advice would just be to spend some time with it and getting use to the tools. A lot of people struggle with 'learned helplessness' when using a new tool. They convince themself that they are 'not a creative type' and instantly close their mind off to using the tool but it is obviously as essential a skill as sticking a post-it note on a wall - because that's exactly what it is.
I think the product could go some way in solving this problem by maybe having an activity type game (rather than a virtual tour) to get that person used to using the product.

How to augment collective intelligence thanks to Miro
What do you like best about the product?
What I like the most about Miro is the fact that it doesn't force you to "think" in one way as many new tools do nowadays (e.g. using kanban cards, backlogs, etc...). This truly allow people with diverse background, experience and tech ability to collaborate : some would use post-it notes, some will draw, some will write, etc...
What do you dislike about the product?
At first glance, Miro can appear as an abyss, especially if you welcome new members into a board with already a lot of content. You need to take this in account when creating boards and especially at what "zoom level" you start creating your board otherwise font size / pen size could become an issue...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro truly augment collaboration / collective intelligence by not only allowing teams to interact in real time in a visual/constructive way but also by taking this experience outside of the meeting room with asynchronous collaboration or presenting to stakeholders easily, etc... it becomes a team room which they can truly make their own.
A great platform to collaborate and visualise discussions
What do you like best about the product?
The ongoing feature improvements and new tools to make my work easier
What do you dislike about the product?
The desktop app is not needed at all, web browser is more thanenough. Also on the mac now since I deleted the notification and click on a link to a board the mac still tries to open it and I end up with an annoying errro message.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Remote work collaboration
- Visualisation of discussions
- Async workshops

Flexible and easy to use!
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility to use it for so many things!
What do you dislike about the product?
I often find it hard to navigate around boards that have a lot of content. It can become laggy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are collaborating on new ideas as a team. We are also sharing and iterating on plans and ideas.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Check out the Miroverse and Miro templates. These are a great way to get inspired or to find ways to organise your board for your needs.
An indispensable tool for today's reality
What do you like best about the product?
The collaborative aspect and the flexibility it offers in terms of tools to use in the whiteboard. I can invite anybody that I want to the board I'm working on; I can communicate effectively using different visual tools; I can paste documents, links, videos, and so on. It's a centralized and common tool to work on in internal projects, as it works perfectly fine with clients as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
The scale is not always immediately comprehensible. Sometimes I can be writing something at 300% zoom and it looks fine, and the same can happen at 3%. It depends from board to board how it is started and what are the first elements to be put there, which can be random in terms of scale and that will be the basis for the rest
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Facilitate remote collaborative sessions in an accessible and inclusive manner for internal and external teams. Because of nowadays reality, one had to adapt and continue to deliver the services to our clients.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is a great tool to bridge the physical gap in the remote world, it allows for brainstorm and discussions to be visual and organized.
Some tips: When hosting a collaborative session, be clear where people need to go and where is the start of the exercise. Also, pay attention to the zoom and scale of your objects in Miro. They can be proportionate to each other but be in a crazy zoom, and from 400% onwards you can't zoom anymore.

What do you dislike about the product?
Visibility only works for the owner of the board. We work in pairs and this is quite a pain. We new to re-own the board if the current owner will no be available.
Frames are only squares, should be great if we could hide other type of shapes.
Comic bubble shape has only one direction.
It is not a dislike, but it could be great if Miro could integrate with Zoom. I mean, Zoom window inside Miro.
It is not a dislike, but it could be great also having some kind of benefits in terms on aging with the tool and share with clients.
Tabs (or kind of) in the board should be a solution for some dynamics.
Again, it is a wish, but I would like to have more sketch tools. I would like, for example, to design my own arrows, maybe even with some textures.
I would like to change the background.
Some kind of forces in the arrows depending on parameters would be awesome. We work a lot with Kumu in terms of doing Systemic Maps not very complex and it will be nice if we could create some kind of maps in Miro.
I don't like having a fee for one day contributors. We as a consulants work a lot with them and we already pay for Miro.

Mindmapping the software.
A canvas for the mind
What do you like best about the product?
We use Miro to think together as a group, the freeform structure allowing us not to become rigid too early.
Many projects have multiple documents, people, processes, working documents, which we can bring together in one place and create a sort of 'project hub'. The ability to drop different document formats in, and export selections (frames) is also fantastic.

What do you dislike about the product?
It is an online tool, which means that if your connection drops or is unavailable for a time, you cannot work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Miro to create shared, non-structured workspaces and as an ideation board for many things.
We can annotate eternal documents or ideate structures for new ones as a team, block out processes or flows and move them around as they change.
Miro has become our go-to tool for creating 'visual walkthroughs' of all sorts of things.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
The templates are super helpful if you have a collaboration exercise in mind, but try a blank canvas and experiment with doing a 'brain dump' - you'll be amazed at how useful it is not to have a 'structure' to form your thinking!
