Miro Reviews: 4.8/5 — Highly Rated

The user interface is exceptionally intuitive, and the real-time collaboration is amazing.

The navigation could be improved for the touchpad.

I use miro for my urban design course on urbanism and pandemic. I realized that the real-time collaboration tools are beneficial to collate ideas and information during classes and for assignments.

The fluent collaboration and great templates speed up our creative and strategic processes/meetings. The interface is clean and easy to use, with no tutorial needed.

We use Miro on a Samsung Flip 2, unfortunately some menus are not visible (e.g., the bottom left menu bar with presentation mode).

We like to keep working creatively on a whiteboard. Due to home office, this is often impossible as a whole team. Miro helps us to keep up our processes with employees abroad. Of course, we can work way more flexibly and creatively with Miro in contrast to an analog whiteboard.

Miro is such a flexible platform! It allows you to do almost anything. You could say it fits any business which requires meetings or conceptual designs

Integrations are still hit and miss. Sometimes, bugs will happen on UI elements.

I have personally done: -Ideation -Wireframing -Sprint planning -Kanban Style cards -Story mapping -Workshops with 10+ people from outside my organization -Personal Calendar -Tech product building and architecture

Miro is a great collaborative tool that allows us to brainstorm, create user flows, other diagrams, and share within our team and outside clients/etc. Is is super easy to use, and we've set up assets for long working sessions, brainstorms and workshops with Miro as our main tool. And yay Zoom integration!

Nothing! Have not had any issues using Miro.

Everything! It works for all use cases. Strategizing solutions for eCommerce and product development, brainstorm sessions and even social events!

Infinite whiteboard, easy to use, elegant, highly interactive for students, compatible with groups and academic communities, multiplatform I have used it for more than two years now, and It is a marvelous tool for subjects like economics, programming, history, etc. Why use a traditional whiteboard if you can save that time with an infinite board for your whole semester?

the three board limit for the free version limits projects for students

Changing from a traditional class to a distance education model in only two days, I needed a big white board, easy to use, and the chance to design every class easily with multimedia references and broadcasting. And each student can collaborate in seconds!

That its an interactive board. You can create and do a lot of different things, in my experience i think we only scratched the surface.

Sometimes the templates used would move when clicked and that made it worrisome at times. Also typing and some other features would do what they wanted to.

We were working on a Harvard Bloomberg series and the interactive team benefits were outstanding.

The app is super efficient at putting my thoughts to "paper". I can make sticky notes boards and make them into a deck of slides quickly. It gives me freedom in organizing and at the same time it aids to perform specific "thought process" with beautiful visual templates (i.e. Retro, decision boards, mind maps, etc.) The feature that drove me to it is importing real sticky notes by simply taking a picture. I can work both on paper and digitally. The app is VERY fast on Mac (slightly slower on windows, but acceptable) It comes full to the brim with beautiful templates and a ton of resources to get the most out of it. Most of the templates are self explanatory and easy to use. I have learned more than I anticipated just looking at those templates. Another selling point was the pricing model - I went with "consultant" plan because I share the boards occasionally (for specific task) with different groups of people. It is both affordable and fairly priced.

The windows app could be faster. Also, general windows experience is less than ideal - especially scrolling, but this might be specific to the operating system.

I use it to brainstorm and collect thoughts visually. I have performed retros, brainstorming sessions and I keep my thought-maps in it. The app is fast and unobtrusive - and that is the killer feature for me. No. 2 are the templates for other processes - one can learn a lot by reviewing them

I love the variation and functionalities of the tools in par with the co-op ease of use.

I don't know yet. I haven't figured anything out.

When i have a group of people that need to be able to work real-time on the same planning boards and with good planning tools.

Beautiful graphs. Very good templates. Nice integrations with Slack and Google Drive. Simple to use.

Mac desktop app is not as responsive. I had some issues with desktop app and Google Drive integration.

Workshop management. Project planning.

Miro is a simple, intuitive, and visually engaging software that makes working on a screen enjoyable. While the templates are great, I often use the software for affinity and mind mapping. The simplicity in connecting elements with lines is my favorite feature. It helps me show concepts as they evolve and develop a functional hierarchy. When working on live documents with teammembers, the voting and timing features also work great and it's easy to get around within the document.

I want more options for coloring and working with sticky notes. When working with user data, I often color code each participant by color, but there are not enough colors for all the participants, which leads to many problems. Sometimes I will turn over to text boxes, but because they do not auto-resize, it is annoying.

I am working on analyzing user interview data. I bring interview notes into Miro and afinitize them to draw insights through a multi-staged process of sentiment evaluation, topic arrangement, and jobs to be done. These categories are combined to craft insights from each section of the research. The benefit is quick and easy manipulation of the data. For me, the best part is simply copying/pasting the WIP data into a new section to affinitize; this enables a traceable history of the data - something that physical notes are unable to do

Miro has made collaboration amazingly simple!

There isn't anything to dislike about this tool. Our team is able to bring ideas to life and collaborate in real time.

We use Miro to collect ideas, draft initial storyboards, and visualize solutions. We were even able to import images from physical whiteboards that we had on our devices and add them to the boards in Miro.

Miro feels like a fun environment that's easy to pick up and use and collaborate with other people. It has a free plan that can be enough for some needs, but the paid plans are interesting too.

More "complicated" features have been added to the tool in recent years, slowly making the interface slightly more "intimidating".

I love MIro for : - Sales / Marketing process mapping for pipeline building or CRM/software configuration - Building and mapping marketing funnels or automations before I put them in the final software - Brainstorming and organizing ideas - Various workshops with clients

The core product is great: intuitive and lot's of fun to use. But what really makes it work for us - for online workshops and collaboration - are the extra tools, apps and functionality that enable a better user experience for template design, workshop moderators and participants - as well as the follow-up and data manipulation and connectivity that needs to happen post-workshop.

Nothing really. With the growing list of plugins and apps, we can do everything we need to right now.

It has given us the ability to run workshops online (with video), instead of face to face, with equal levels of effectiveness.

Miro, é minha principal ferramenta no trabalho hoje. Desde que a contratei até agora, só tenho experiências positivas em relação à plataforma e o suporte empresarial é excelente.Acredito que nos próximos anos ela continuará sendo a plataforma mais utilizada por mim e por minha equipe. adoro a usabilidade e os templates

I like everything. The miro today has helped me a lot with my daily tasks. So far there isn't anything I don't like.

The miro allows me to work with excellence remotely. Delivering projects, workshops, sprints and team building

The ability to collaborate is amazing when teams are working remotely.

Cannot copy out tables etc into powerpoint etc

Process mapping, structures, brainstorming

I am a visual learner and Miro is a great way to store information and brainstorm and be able to see your ideas in a very visual way.

I would love to see Miro continue to be integrated with other Software programs.

I use Miro as a brainstorming, idea capture tool. I was so excited to discover the Miroverse and all the many amazing tools out there.

I like everything best. Miro has allowed us to share and work together on many projects.

I have a little more figuring out of Frames so that I can move stuff the way I want but that is just more playing around.

It is just a great place to collaborate and allow ideas to flow.

I enjoy the templates and Miroverse. I'm also glad you have shortcuts. Finally, just the quality of content you put out is very helpful.

I wish I could set a default font. But to be honest, I really can't think of any dislikes yet.

I'm a product manager, so it's been extremely helpful for meetings, user journeys, and brainstorming ideas. Miro is my new notebook. All our ideas, begin here.

The way Miro provides the option of online collaboration in real time is amazing and super intuitive.

The drawing tools (pencil and pen) needs to be improved, also the pen tablet support is not good.

Initial brainstorming for the ongoing projects is a thing for which Miro is the best. The benefits include real-time collaboration and feedback.

Die Temaplates, die Miro zur Verfügung stellt, gehen über alles hinaus, was wir bei anderen Tools dieser Art bisher gesehen und bekommen haben

Das Handling muss man, wie bei anderen Tools auch, erst mal ein bisschen einüben. Dann (nach ein paar Videos und Tutorials) klappt es aber sehr flüssig und schnell

Schnelle Vorbereitung, Durchführung und Nachbereitung von Meetings, Brainstorming, Themen-Landkarten

To me, I find the different templates of MIRO to be very valuable because, depending on the context of my discussions with my team members, I can select the desired template and drive my conversation. For example, it has been beneficial to work on a feature prioritization exercise where I have used the feature map template. Another example is to create a product backlog, and a user story map where MIRO boards have been very productive to use in the meetings and obtain feedback immediately.

It would be nice if we had more customer journey map templates to select as the ones currently available do not have a lot of swimlanes focusing on technology considerations, opportunities for improvements which are great to have.

MIRO has helped identify gaps when analyzing the current state and future state for product requirements and the gap analysis brainstorming done using MIRO has been very insightful to the business and technical teams in deciding business improvement areas, technical roadblocks, and both product and process efficiency.

I like how user-friendly it is and how easy it was to explain to users how to use it.

I want more post-it note colors in the presenting stack.

Retrospectives on a bi-weekly basis (for scrums) and yearly (for the overall Agile Transformation status). Also for how to improve my class that I teach at George Mason University.

Makes visualisation a breeze for online collaborations, especially for collabs where alot of Design Thinking, User Journey Mapping etc processes are used. The sticky note function and ease of clustering or moving it - i think it mimics real-life usage of post-its for ideation sessions and feedback sessions. It was fast, seamless and an all-round pleasure to use for clustering and further analysis of the responses. Stickies could also be easily resized. The lock function - i think some may underrate this but for me, this was one of the most helpful functions available when collaborating online, especially with people who are new to the platform. Being able to lock items on the board (frames/diagrams/stickies/pictures etc) to prevent accidental shifting by collaborators was a huge plus and a total time saver. The time that i would have had to spend on moving the items back could be channelled towards other things in the collaboration. The templates - they were very helpful and there is quite a variety to choose from as well. Creating frames and being able to present these frames as slides directly from miro was very helpful in having to double the work of creating a google slide deck for it. The "bring to me button" - this was super useful in bringing any group member who may be lost in the navigation of the boards over to the specific frame you are working on. Saves time from having to "hunt down" the collaborators and guiding them to go where you want them to. Used it often during my collabs when working with new users.

Screenshots - Somehow when taking screenshots and copying it to another software like ppt/google slides, significant resolution is lost. Switching between the pan mode vs normal cursor and edit modes. Am accessing Miro via a web browser on a Windows laptop. The shortcut that the Mac users have to switch between these 2 modes does not seem to work for me, which makes it tougher as i have to remember to click on the side icon menu to make sure i am in the correct mode while navigating the miro board. Spacing between frames - thought it would be good if Miro could advise on the ideal spacing between frames such that neighbouring frames do not show up in presentation mode. Lack of simulataneous editing within the same text box. Sometimes users who edit text within the same text box forgets to unclick the text box when they are done. As such, i will not be able to edit that text box until they unclick it, which is frustrating Lack of ability to edit background of the pictures/icons i paste in.

As part of my studies - a slew of projects relating to user journey mapping, experience design, design thinking, empathy map with users etc I think miro is great for capturing everything in one side, via a flat layout. Depending on how you would structure the information needed, miro can serve as a great tool for presenting your ideas and research. Miro is also a nice tool to use for workshop/class engagement, where all participants can come onto the same board and work on their projects/discussions in different frames. It is chaotic at times but it is great to see all the work come together in various boards. Miro shines when doing analysis and clustering of results. The ease of moving and grouping the sticky notes is my fav feature of this platform. Saves us from wasting paper too compared to real life postit notes clustering. Plus everything is captured digitally so its just a matter of exporting the work to share about it on other platforms.

It's easy to learn. Have all tools for build stuffs withs others and working on boards.

Maybe would be more powerful options for working with images, figures, and texts. Include animations for slides would be awesome.

Make a Brainstorming. Build collaborative stuff. Presentations. It's fast to get a good design.

Easy to create dashboards and track KPIs

Importing data from spreadsheets as cells

As a Product Manager, I use MIRO to track my business health and KPIs and share the boards with my peers and leadership teams to enable them to look at the same metrics. The board helps them provide feedback, ask questions, and suggestions as notes, so we can discuss the topics during a standup meeting, and help resolve the roadblocks. This avoids sharing multiple versions of the documents across the teams.

i love the easily way to create a mind map, a flow chart and a brainwriting

i dont like so much the app in my android phone

in our bussines we use the brainwritting to create new ideas for the web page

I like the real time collaboration and the ability to capture input from everyone, which does not happens in regular online meetings, when you have larger teams

Perhaps who is in the meeting at a given time could be more visible

Capturing input effectivelly from my clients when they are in larger teams (>4)

The ease of use of the platform. It lets you get on with creating and ideation without having to worry about the tools you use. Works with your thoughts not against it.

Does not have automated mindmapping feature

Brainstorming, design thinking sprints, product planning. project defining phases and just getting a distributed team to work the idea and problem at the same time

It's great for remote teams, collaboration sessions, workshops and showcasing work in meetings. As a project manager, it works great with providing a hub for teams to dump their work in progress, get feedback and knowledge sharing especially when onboarding new team members.

I'm not keen on the scaling feature; it's of course very useful as you can continue to add to your board however the sizing of objects becomes quite inconsistent and you will find the need to scroll in or out a lot to be able to read things clearly which can also lag in loading. I'd also like to see more grid options similar to PowerPoint. We often use Miro quite informally and in a 'rough and ready' fashion but it's an excellent tool for kick-off meetings and presentations where you want things to look just that little bit clean and slick for clients.

There have been difficulties in knowledge sharing and onboarding primarily in remote times which we've been able to improve. We've been able to do this by using Miro as a one-stop-shop for all things project related to make things easier for the whole team.

The Miro templates let me build amazing Scrum Retros and when I have to do my Backlog refinement, I've got all the tools with miro.

I still can't find it. For now, all that Miro gives me is what I need.

Building products with Miro, we put the Scrum Framework to solve our challenges.
