Couldn't recommend it enough
What do you like best about the product?
It's very rare that a tool can do many things well, and I can confidently say that MIRO's this tool for me, my team, and colleagues. It's great for distributed team collaboration, mind-mapping, all activities needed for design thinking, prioritisation, workshops, and the list goes on. It's a blank canvas and it allows me to express my ideas so easily. The help me articles, customer support, and people I engage with from the company are always so helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
I worked at an enterprise bank and it would be great to have enough controls or information regarding where the information/data is stored for our security partners to fully allow our teams to be onboarded in an enterprise level.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Whole product development cycle. I've realized it's great to share them with people so we can contribute to solutions/approaches asynchronously.

Great for both remote teams and for ad-hoc workshops
What do you like best about the product?
Smooth and snappy interface, especially when using the native app (I'm on a Mac). Just the small things as the keyboard shortcuts to switch between tools, or the inline help to align and distribute objects, allows for swift editing.
Zooming in and out and navigating the board is also significantly smoother than competing solutions. Also, when inviting external users to an ad-hoc workshop, there's no obtrusive on-boarding needed. Most users get the concept without any instructions, and Miro does a great job adapting navigation automatically to the user's device.

What do you dislike about the product?
Plans and pricing can be confusing at times. It isn't always clear which plan suits different use cases.
One limitation when you invite external user to an ad-hoc workshop is that they can't name themselves. When working together they'll see each others cursors but not who's who.
The one detail within the tool itself that I find most annoying is when you're working with locked objects. If I as a host of a workshop draw a filled shape and then lock it, participants can still 'focus' the object by clicking on it. This breaks the expected behavior "double clicking anywhere on the canvas will create a sticky-note".

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using Miro both for internal projects togehter with colleagues as well as external clients in different teams. Since the boards are so "big", I usually fit one project per board. This makes it easy to track the progress in the project, or revisit your previous steps to find new ideas.
Essential Work Tool for Early Product Thinking
What do you like best about the product?
My 100% remote team struggled for a long time to find a collaborative whiteboarding/brainstorming tool. Then we found Miro, and it was quickly adopted across the whole team -- engineering, product, design, customer success, & business development. It's easy to use for freeform brainstorming, and its collaborative features are fantastic. I like how we can mix text, images, shapes, and free-form drawings. Overall it's a great tool
What do you dislike about the product?
Very large boards can be difficult to understand and digest. Other than that, it's a wonderful tool
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We primarily use Miro for collaborative whiteboarding & brainstorming, though individuals often use it for early ideation and mapping of complex ideas. In our work, we often collaborate with subject matter experts in the field of building design, and we use Miro to capture learnings from them as well
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Personally, I find it easier to use Miro with a dedicated mouse and a large external screen instead of a laptop trackpad
Far exceeded my expectations
What do you like best about the product?
Our team has tried many different interactive platforms for collaboration but Miro's seemingly infinite workspace has really been transformative for us as a team. In addition, I have found Miro to be incredibly useful for my own mindmapping, brainstorming, and 'tidbit' collecting. For the most part, if you need something, there is a template for it, but the golden ticket is that you always have a completely blank canvas to create something from scratch if need be.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have had some issues with losing content through "blips". Needing to backup to a local drive is a bit of a challenge and not something intuitive given that the interaction is cloud-based. This has only resulted in a major issue once when I lost an entire board, but I have had other instances as well - most recently when a colleague accidentally deleted a section of a board we were collaborating on and then was unable to undo the action.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Capturing those wild thought patterns that occur when trying to problem-solve or when you hit a creative streak. It is so easy to lose some of the more tangential ideas that may not be relevant today but could be useful to jot down for later. Having everything in one location in miro is easier to track back to than a traditional journal. It also has really helped our team work collaboratively in a virtual environment. We also work globally and have worked through a meeting and then shared the miro board with colleagues in other timezones to comment on/continue adding to during their workday.
The team tool we didn’t know we missed
What do you like best about the product?
First tried put Miro 4 months ago - and also had my team come play with it. Now it's our go-to software for almost anything - projects, workshops, assessments, research, innovation, action plans, charity projects and even birthdays ;) It is your unlimited pinboard that helps structure complexity collaboratively, invite creativity, enable flexible collaboration, also non syncronous, and captures the process without much further work.
What do you dislike about the product?
It almost allows for any kind of file to be copy-pasted on to the board However for videos we need to upload them to youtube first to be able to bring them into miro. But hey it's very rare that you have a piece of software like this that you just can't do without in a very short time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows us to have everything around a project on one place that we can all access. Also it helps bring real value to online workshops to have this as the collaborative platform when meeting on zoom or in teams. We just get a lot more done. And it's all captured instantly.
More than a whiteboard
What do you like best about the product?
For years taking notes on paper or stickies was fruitless. They would either get lost in the shuffle or I couldn't easily make meaningful connections to content days or weeks later. I love that Miro allows me to collect & reorganize my thoughts & information in a way that is meaningful to me. Miro has become an absolute staple in my personal & professional life.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would love some basic drawing tools, like InVision Freehand. The shapes tools are nice, but I prefer working on a drawing tablet/iPad, & drawing is an intuitive way for me to work. Drawing also communicates the "roughness" of a concept, which can be very beneficial in my line of work.
I wish there were more repeatable elements (ie; the ability to create symbols).
Tags are also a place of untapped potential. I have a hard time using the Kanban boards etc in any extensive way because the tags seem largely ornamental.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration & Organization. As a long time Mural user (I still have to use Mural at work) I find that Miro is far more intuitive, fluid, & flexible. I'm using it to share work with friends & peers, get feedback on work, map experiences, collect ideas & notes, make connections to notes & thoughts from months ago.
Transformed how well we work collaboratively while remote working
What do you like best about the product?
Miro Academy - it is simple to learn the system and to train newbies with ease. I learned the tool very quickly and have found my team all had very few issues getting up and running. Generally very intuitive, with a fantastci interface for tools, the main board and navigation of where you are on the board.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes easy to move things in error (learn how to use 'lock' feature!)
Had to to play around to learn how 'frames' work in terms of whether deleting frames impacts the content within it (it doesn't!) Sometimes have issues making sure I have selected all content to move from one place to another. Have occasionally left behind some locked items that were not easy to spot were locked into position

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working remotely, it's wonderful to have a virtual whiteboard we can all see and contribute to. And no transcribing from Post-Its to online platforms! Allows us to run workshops easily with all parties working from home. And the fact it's (kind of) 'infinite' means it's easy to store a lot of useful project info in a single place, easily accessible via "frames' to get to where you need to go on the board quickly. We use our board every day!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easy to learn via Miro Academy, when some features are not fully intuitive. I learned the basics very quickly. And as you can start with a no-cost trial, you can give it a go risk-free. I have a bunch of Miro fans on my project!
Excellent for collaborating
What do you like best about the product?
Made with team work in mind. Easy to navigate and can include documents from other platforms to keep everything in one place
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes on the web version you can encounter a few bugs like text boxes not working
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team huddles and virtual event work where multiple people can come together to process map
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Explore and test the functionality as you will find it useful for something
Everyone should use Miro!
What do you like best about the product?
Collaboration, ideation, workshopping !!
What do you dislike about the product?
I cannot build a component library for st
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Most of our business problems we workshop and ideate with miro. we use it for visualizing complex flows and processes for better communication and transparency across the company
Can't live, if living is without Miro
What do you like best about the product?
Can't imagine working without Miro anymore. Intuitive, easy to use. Fun to use and more efficient to work in team.
What do you dislike about the product?
Disliked the fact that is took over three months for procurement to purchase Miro. But Miro's not to blame for that :D.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Online workshops.
- The boards are infinite, so you can have the whole history of your project or product stored on one single board.
