How did we get along without it?
What do you like best about the product?
Miro enables my team to collaborate seamlessly online, and also have easy to access artifacts/documents. I seriously cannot believe we didn't have something like this before. I would recommend this platform to people in lots of different roles, not just designers.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is literally nothing that I dislike about Miro. I have found that some of my less tech-savvy colleagues have a harder time picking it up, but I find it so easy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We brainstorm and host workshops all within miro, and with that, we solve very many problems. Creation of software features, sorting out of time management and feature prioritization, and much more. Our org practically revolves around it.

It just works!
What do you like best about the product?
It's super intuitive and feels like it's my friend. It wants to help me, it wants me to succeed. It makes things easy for me, so I can create at the speed of thought. Pretty much every time I think, "What if I try this or that" and follow my instinct, it works! It's not over or undercooked in terms of features either. Plus the number of templates is super impressive. I'm a big fan of colour and shape: the templates deliver both in abundance.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are two things I've found so far that I think need improving:
1. I can't see any way to toggle between different accounts. I have a work account and a personal account and sometimes I work on both over the course of a day. It would be great if I can just jump between the two without having to log out each time.
2. When I've added text to a shape, if I change the size of one section of text, it changes the whole text in that shape. Ie, sometimes I just want to increase the size of the title text, but leave the body as is. I can't see a way to do that.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team collaboration. We're currently displaced across three different cities in Australia and very much work in an agile way. It's so good for the creative process, especially the divergent phase. Miro allows us to throw all of our disparate ideas into one location, sort and refine until the magic happens. We're finding we're more productive using it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do it! Get in there and have a play. It's good to have a reason to use it though. If you have a project you're developing or have one in progress in a similar tool, use it to compare. The best thing is I didn't have to look up how to do a single thing. I just started clicking the buttons I thought would do what I wanted and it just worked. That's very rare for an online tool. Either they're overly complicated or so abstract that you don't know what anything means. They've found a balance and it works a treat!
Just perfect, with very few areas of improvement
What do you like best about the product?
Real time collaboration. Awesome interface. Beautiful (yes, it's a beautiful tool) and super easy to use. I've used it to facilitate workshops to different types of groups from different countries, and everyone loved it. I use it for my daily work planning as well, and even for school and my personal life. It definitely boosts your creativity and helps you get things done.
What do you dislike about the product?
For the sake of nitpicking, there are some features that could be added, but I've already submitted my ideas to the Miro team and I'm happy with their response. The other thing they could work on is accessibility for older folks; I've had 60 year old peers really struggling to understand the very basic stuff like how to zoom in and out and move around the board and add sticky notes. My office has people of all ages, from 19 to 60, and sometimes we all need to align on the same tools, so you can imagine the challenge.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's just fantastic for virtual collaboration, especially during the pandemic, it just makes it feel like real life interaction with your peers. Keeping people engaged is key.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Keep an open mind and don't be scared of a blank canvas. Using this tool feels like a breeze for younger folks, but can be challenging for older people; still, it's worth the try and can really boost your teams productivity, engagement and overall virtual collaboration.
Great software for collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
The free-form structure allows for unlimited expansion and creativity, I found the platform extremely intuitive and fun to get started with!
What do you dislike about the product?
It can get slow when there is lots of content on a board or lots of people are editing simultaneously
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Brainstorming designs for upcoming features and leaving comments in context
Personal Mindmapping of my ideas
Remote collaboration for quarterly planning weeks

My Favourite Productivity App!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the pre-built templates. The user interface is smooth and the ability for multiple users to concurrently work on a board has increased team productivity. I am a visual learner/communicator and Miro has helped me brainstorm ideas, architect solutions, and present to colleagues. I also work in a distributed team and Miro has been our go-to tool for documentation, brainstorming, and diagramming.
What do you dislike about the product?
No perceived downside. Though it would be great to have an integrated screenshot feature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are constantly building cloud-based solutions for internal business problems and Miro has given us the ability to create architecture diagrams for such solutions. The ability to take notes has been beneficial as well.
Collaborative Tool
What do you like best about the product?
The collaborative nature that lends well to remote workers
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of Value Stream Mapping functionality. Needs to have full library of Value Stream Icons, and built in Math to have math components auto calculate. This would make this tool all encompassing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Brainstorming and collaboration are the best benefits
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easier to use than competing products. Use Miro!
Complete solution for visual, interactive, iterative and adaptive collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
The completeness. I'm a Creative Producer of Innovation and help clients to get from A to B while B doesn't exist yet. That requires goalsetting, idea generation, tests/experiments and learning together to improve on the ideas until the desired results are realized. Miro offers everything I need.
You can draw, add prefabs of all sorts, expand/shrink all elements (it's vector oriented I think), connect them with lines/arrows, create templates, collaborate in real time (with an account) and videoconference within Miro, add comments, there's a voting module, connections to 3rd party apps (including unsplash.com for great visuals, add iframe codes, and more), organize your project with frames and export them to different formats, there's a web/smartphone/tablet-app, and much more.
As a visual thinker/worker, performer/moviemaker/illustrator Miro is my go-to app for developing outlines for books, training courses, shows, documentaries, workshops. With an affordable account ($20/month) I set up boards for my clients to get an overview of the program we're building, brainstorm in real time, video conference, summarize a workshop I did for them. In my online workshops you can use one board and let every breakout room use their own corner but they also see the others produce ideas.
Can't speak highly enough about how well thought through this tool is and how well executed it is.

What do you dislike about the product?
Can't think of anything right now to be honest.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking for a complete solution for visual, interactive, iterative and adaptive, visual collaboration, Miro is the real deal.
Amazing Whiteboard Application
What do you like best about the product?
Limitless space to create whiteboard activities. Integrated video chat and the ability to invite non-team members as guest editors. The best solution for converting my in-person workshop to a virtual one. I have created a voting activity, created breakout room boards, converted Powerpoint slides to frames, and can now launch our virtual workshop later this year.
What do you dislike about the product?
With the large space comes a bit cumbersome navigation. Can be resolved using a mouse not a trackpad, but adds to the need for user training before hosting a collaborative event
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Converting a 3-day in-person workshop to a five-session online version. The workshop is high interaction and group activities and needed something that would allow for group interaction, a virtual wall to hang visual tools, and strong facilitator tools. Using Miro ic can present content, lead discussions that include group responses, host voting, chat activities, and host videos. I am very impressed with the flexibility and integration with tools like G Drive and Jira.
Great collaborative tool for education and work
What do you like best about the product?
The best feature is that it is really user friendly. In seconds, my students started to use it, it is intuitive and has a great design. I love also its templates, I have discovered some that have been really useful to start a collaborative activity.
What do you dislike about the product?
Probably the price, but with the educational license, it has been enough to perform activities with my different groups. I would also like a tool to select different elements quickly. The desktop software was to heavy, it took a lot of time to work, I prefer using the cloud version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In online education, it has been a virtual workspace. I have done from idea generation sessions to team building activities. It is easy to share. It offers an educational license. Even the free version allows to use most of the important features, the limit is the number of boards or that you cannot create teams, but almost everything else works great.
Be creative
What do you like best about the product?
It is very a very visual tool, you can make a lot of projects at the same time and you work in group
What do you dislike about the product?
It's too heavy for the computer on the web and crashes a lot
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used it for a UX process in a bootcamp. It was possible to make the project well organized and work in group
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its a very simple and visual tool, you can make the projects and open in anywhere and also work as a group.
