What do you dislike about the product?
While miro is an excellent remote virtual platform, it is difficult to find a con in a product you like.
However at times it may take new users some time to get onboarded.

Superb collaboration tool that speeds up projects
What do you like best about the product?
It is versatile and visual. You can get to work with a team or on your own quickly. Notes turn into diagrams, turn into presentations, turn into project plans. It has become how me and my teams get things done. It's become how I think my way through a project. Shared Docs and Project Planners are good, but nothing beats the freedom of being able to draw and paste and link ideas together in a shared space. I love how intuitive it is and features like being able to paste spreadsheet cell contents in as post-its are brilliant. And they keep adding more features week by week.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the odd glitch can be disproportionately annoying. Like if someone highlights an object or text they don't know that you can't see it either. But it is small stuff set against the benefits of the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's like having multiple whiteboards that spring into life when you need to get on with a project. So you haven't worked on something for a week or two, you go back to your post-it session or mindmaps and bingo! you're back in the game where you left off.
Collaboration is its superpower though. During lockdowns we have been able to build notes and whole plans as we go while chatting on Zoom or Slack. It cuts out lots of jumping between apps. Often I work with someone to agree the framework of how we will solve a challenge, and then we invite everyone else to come in and leave their thoughts in comments and stickies. It's actually more efficient than in person meetings for some kinds of working.

Get everyone a licence straightaway and make sure multiple people aren't creating different instances.
The best online real time board for distributed teams
What do you like best about the product?
I like all the flexibility and freedom to do everything you want. I also like the possibility of having templates and different whiteboards to be able to divide the needs of the team. The different applications available are tremendously useful and offer you an infinite amount of resources for practically any agile topic.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not too fond of some of the tools that I can't use because of my free account. I miss some details like the timer or being able to have more whiteboards at my disposal, and not just 3, or the Jira integration. The possibility of a paid account is difficult because we are a very large team of different companies and no company takes care of the others. Something that I miss a lot is the possibility of taking a "photo" as a backup of the board, so that later in time you can go back and recover that state of the board, to, for example, return to certain dynamics of past retrospectives.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a collaborative remote team, 20 members distributed around the world. Miro is our union to create and organize ideas. The brainstorming that the team is able to produce using miro is spectacular, it has helped us a lot to exchange ideas and bring the project to success. Peers with less computer skills initially had problems logging in. Members from different parts of the world speaking different languages have been able to communicate effectively thanks to miro.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do not adapt to current other tools, Miro is all what you ever wanted.
The No1 whiteboarding platform for interactive collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
High stability, low latency, interconnection with other apps, fast development of new functions, design mindset of development team, open APIs, fast collaboration with clients, easy-to-use, intuitive UX, very friendly support staff, miroverse, more in-depth templates, saving your own templates company-wide.
What do you dislike about the product?
Video and GIF handling (GIFs do not start automatically, videos can't be uploaded), Link handling (when elements are locked you cant click the link that is directly pasted onto the board, two clicks necessary when opening a link, etc), Lack of proper text formating, intransparent price model (why are some basic functions, like searching content from inside boards only available on enterprise plans? why are external collaborators only allowed on certain plans? that doesn't really make sense), complicated member administration - the backend in general is quite complicated because you have to switch between workspace settings, company setting and so on. this often is not easy to follow for new users. support has become very slow compared to pre-pandemic times
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All workshops and collaborative projects are done in miro. We became much faster in sharing content that is available to everyone in the team. complex strategies can be mapped visually. easy to start with new users because of its intuitive UX. mapping ux flows works great
The Boards That Everyone Needs
What do you like best about the product?
I like the experience of using Miro boards. This limitless board really accommodates my needs who like to dump many things in one place. In addition to that the preset or templates in Miro really help me to do many things like brainstorming, create a product analysis, building diagrams, and many more. All of these experiences even better with the ability to share the boards and collaborate with other team members or other people.
What do you dislike about the product?
The thing that I don't like is the pricing which is quite high.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miro helps me to do brainstorming and dump my idea on the boards. Miro and the community also help me by providing a wide variety of templates that I could use to do my task. This really helps to solve my problem in creating that format. Miro also helps to solve my difficulties to collaborate especially in this pandemic time. With Miro, I could easily share the board and work together within the same board.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is a powerful board for all of you. For you who like to do brainstorming, mind dump, mind mapping, or just to store information visually, Miro is definitely a great tool to do this. You can do all the tasks mentioned above in one limitless board or you can create as many boards as you need to accommodate your needs. In addition to that, the community also very helpful in terms of creating many templates that we can use for our needs.
Best collaborative tool for remote teams
What do you like best about the product?
In a miro board, there can be many users at a time. I have used it with 25 people and no problem at all. Everyone can contribute, share, draw and many other cool options. It is great for brainstorming, process mapping, mind maps, kanban, etc. It is very flexible. Also, you can have many boards in your account.
What do you dislike about the product?
The table tool can be improved so it would be compatible with excel files, in order to import/export data from/to excel.
Although each board is "infinite", if you have more than 5000 elements in a board it starts to run very slow. If you exceed around 12000 elements on a board, it collapses (stops working). So if your board has more than 3000 elements, you should consider breaking it into several smaller boards.
If you have a size "S" sticky note in a frame and you try to export it to PDF, it will not be seen in the PDF. Only sticky notes size "M" or bigger will be seen in an exported PDF

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mainly process mapping (VSD), brainstorming, Problem-solving (A3), Design Thinking projects. The benefits I have realized is the great flexibility to work in many subjects, also sharing with other people inside and outside my team as well. You can also copy or export a board to insert it on a report or even make a presentation directly from the board itself, so no need to make powerpoints to show what you are up to.
Transformational tool for whiteboarding by yourself or with others
What do you like best about the product?
I'm one of those people for whom a whiteboard is a facilitator of creative thought. I love whiteboards. Miro is better: it's actually faster to draw (and redraw) thoughts using Miro than with dry erasers. And, it's an infinite (near-infinite?) whiteboard that never needs to be erased: my thinking persists.
And of course, it can be shared and worked on collaboratively, a great feature at any time but of course critical in the era of COVID.

What do you dislike about the product?
It does take a while to get used to how you select and move objects -- it feels different from other programs that I've used -- but the learning curve isn't too long.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Miro for at least these 3 reasons:
1) to help me develop and crystalize my thinking
2) to visualize my thinking so that I can better communicate it with others
3) to co-create with others

The best product management tool. They never fail to deliver the best experience on strategy design.
What do you like best about the product?
The visual way to align my business priorities
What do you dislike about the product?
As agile workflow and visual task management could be better
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Strategy alignment, essentially. My team now "can see" what I am talking and thinking.
My main tool for remote codesign
What do you like best about the product?
What I like in Miro is flexibility. Compared to other similar tools, you have 1) more options to free involve guest editors, 2) more plugins and third-party integrations 3) Miroverse, a community where you can share and find templates.
What do you dislike about the product?
Notes and cards could be more powerful: they should be integrated with external spreadsheets in a better way. I really would like to import pre-tagged notes and other metadata from external spreadsheets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Remote collaboration. We suddenly started working remotely in March 2020: we were used to physical whiteboards, and we immediately searched a tool to replace it. Miro helps us to work together every day (we also use it for our standup meeting)
Miro, making remote discussion and complex problem solving easier
What do you like best about the product?
I love that you collaborate easily with your team and your clients on almost anything. Understanding complex journey flows using screen shots and basic elements, tracking user testing, creating flows with various touch points for cross-team understanding.
What do you dislike about the product?
That client has to be paid for, to use your miro boards for a day or so. It would be really great if there was a free account type for clients that may be valid for a day or so. rather than the 2 dollar amount. As I'm not paying in USD, so this kinda adds up
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I"m in the UX/IT industry and have been using Miro to map out complex business banking processes to simplify them. Onboarding my team to those complex processes. I've also used them as white boards in meetings. I've also been using it to track user testing, honestly, this part alone made the paid-for account worth it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Miro is a great addition to any team solving digital even real-world problems inside a business or as a consultant. The diverse uses, the paid-for elements like video, timer etc use for Design Sprints is really worth while.
