I like how many use cases Miro is equipped to handle, and the templates that they provide to get you started. As a product manager, I utilize Miro for brainstorming parts of product strategy and prioritization. Additionally, I've used it across various functions in the course of product discovery and development. Whereas its competitors are clunky and complicated, Miro is intuitive, even to new users that I include in collaborative sessions. Also, their free plan gives you a comprehensive sense of how you can utilize it. Lastlly, I appreciate the resources and community that Miro has created.
Their pricing can be tricky to figure out for smaller companies that are trying to cut costs in the current economic climate. You must pay for every seat on your team, which resulted in me rearranging team members and needing to consider who really required a seat vs being a guest on the free plan.
Miro solves the need for visual collaboration across our remote-first organization. It directly enables me to do my best work and quickly arrive at the insights I require to improve our product.
I love using Miro for its collaboration features. My team is working across the world which means having a trusted tool to is needed. The UI is very intuitive even if you are a newbie in Miro. I love the fact that I can use Miro for most of my needs in working like doing prioritisation, presentation, brainstorming and documentation. You can easily work with Miro with no/too little training or guidance. I also love the product marketing strategy of Miro. They always keep the users up to date regarding the new features of Miro that keep the users engaged.
I can not think of any downside in Miro.
Miro is helping me solve the collaboration.
Miro is a great tool for virtual cross-functional collaboration, particularly for teams who are working across multiple geo’s and timezones. I find the tooling super easy to adopt by users who have previously trialled the product. I highly recommend Miro to anyone who is looking to collaborate online.
It can be challenging to use Miro in a hybrid environment, where the audience wants to use whiteboards for in person activity. This is an area of the product that could be improved.
Miro’s great for bringing teams together. Unlike in person sessions, Miro creates for a collaborative environment where everyone in the group can easily share their thoughts.
I love how easy it is to set up a new board at any impromptu moment in a meeting, enabling our team to work collaboratively on the fly. Which, means we can capture all of our thoughts and insights so clearly and quickly. So useful for planning, capturing ideas and collaboration.
I find that it's quite hard to use Miro from an accessibility point of view. I have some team members with poor eyesight who does stuggle with Miro and that can affect their confidence with the tool.
We use Miro templates to capture all ideas and discussions, I use this in our Co-Design sessions to keep us all on track and to having divergent converstations. Miro is a brilliant tool to use to map out thoughts as the emerge. I also use this for Retros, Google Sprints and Planning.
I often have to work with cloud-based systems where colleagues come up with complex designs and plans. This has proved a good tool for Miro. The many templates and features they offer make it straightforward for us to implement our ideas visually. It’s a big advantage that it gives me freedom to use it along with other products with which I work. Additionally, the visualization helps my team organizes the complex workflows, simplifying the collaboration on different activities.
Sometimes, when working with big boards, the download is slow which affects the screen experience of the viewer. Furthermore, I also believe that even archiving has its limitations and that there should be a better alternative for local caching when you are starting a new board.
Miro offers a centralized forum for brainstorming and outlining the solutions for cloud-based problems. It reduces the process of communicating intricate system designs with my teams mates for all of us to be on the same page.
What I like most is the fact that I can create worflows and share them with the team and the client in a simple way. Very simple to use and with many excellent features.
So far I haven't found any aspect that I don't like. It's an excellent product.
I needed to have a tool that would allow me to create procedural flowcharts for my team. I also use it a lot to create the structure of websites and share with clients and the team.
I love the ability of miro to integrated notes, visuals/images and the addition of lines/shapes into one platform. Before I would use the very choppy built in photo edittor on my laptop in order to create visuals for explanation, but now I am able to build and share visuals all from the same platform. This is most helpful when troubleshooting bugs, allowing us to share information across people and time as a form of visual documentation.
The only downside I can imagine is the difficulty in using text. The nearly unlimited scaling of Miro makes it hard to make text fit well sometime, but overall this issue can be troubleshot with some experience
Miro is solving the issue of visual documentation for us. The platform allows us to visualize our data pipelines and connections between platforms/tables in a way that was not easy before. Now it is easy and almost fun to build these visuals.
Easy to understand, many features, easy to share
pricing, a bit, other things looks fine for now
helps to see everything important about the business and brainstorming about new ideas
Businesses often lack process mapping. With MIRO, we have been able to present and make our meetings much more interactive. When we are formulating our problem statement, it is simple to focus on where we have gaps in customer support and how we can implement something more straightforward. I use the MIRO board to explain ideas on a weekly basis, and we also integrate it into our minutes of meetings.
I would like to copy and paste the process as it is, either in Word or PowerPoint. Perhaps I do not know how to use it properly, but when I do that, I only paste words, not boxes and so on.
We easily map the customer journey, describe the steps, the ideas and also I benefit from the clarity. It acts as a nice board to get every one involved.
It has many different features and it is easy to use.
Nothing. Everything works fine without any issues.
Bring team's ideas together and recoreded.
