Miro Reviews: 4.8/5 — Highly Rated

I manage a team of creatives and this tool helps us collaborate on designs and content all at the same time. What I like best is that it's so easy to use, it required very little training.

Nothing that I can think of, yet. I'm a fairly new user.

Collaboration and teamwork. We're now all on the same page. This benefits the entire department, not just my group. It's good for others to see how the creative process is supposed to work.

It is effortless to use, and they provide free training sessions for beginners.

There is nothing I dislike about Miro .

I was creating a map of our website to help my team update it.

Infinite board, wide range of templates and simple UI are awesome features. Communication and screensharing are also really good features. Helps in presenting my ideas to the team and other stakeholders.

Nothing, there's simply nothing to dislike about this platform.

Collaborative working

That all skill-levels can easily find their way around, as well as the smooth and proactive layout assistance. Using Miro has tremedously improved our workshop capacity, especially during Covid and remote-working context, since we can now work in the same space with people from around the globe. On top of that it let's you design differnet form of workshop experiences: from quite thinking exercises, to interactive brainstorms and in-board presentations. The platform looks pro and friendly at the same time, which makes clients instantly feel at ease and willing to use it.

The thing I struggle the most with is finding the best "starting zoom" perspective. I know usually take a first screenshot, drag and drop it in to know where I have to build from. It would also be great to know how to integrate comment mentions directly with Slack. The cross-platform integrations are not easy to find and understand. Most companies use other text-based tools like Slack for general project management.

Facilitating remote (international) work sessions and client workshops across time zones. It has also become my go-to tool to gather all information in one place. Ex: it's way easier to have a competitor audit in such a visual form. THe best thing is that it's not static and that you can always go back to it.

the realtime collaboration, and being able to see where other users are is excellent. Being able to tag messages in to users, so they receive notification of changes is a cool feature. Templates in conjunction with an infinite canvas... #awesome

just took me a bit of time getting accustomed to the UI, yet, that happened fast tbh. Probably just because its a new piece of software.

explaining complex solutions and business models, and using the visuals to augment the written material.

The fact that me and my team can collaborate on the same board.

At the moment I do not have any problem with using Miro.

Building a E- commerce platform

Miro is the "jack of all trades," whether If I need to prototype something, document software, pitch ideas, brainstorm; Miro is the way. I like its UX/UI, very intuitive and user-friendly! You won't waste any time learning how to use the platform.

There are sometimes that my internets won't work fine, and when that happens, miro won't allow me to work offline. Either way, that's just a minor issue to me.

Miro has really helped me a lot with software documentation; I needed to have a tool to document the software architecture in a more "fun" and easy way than traditional (E.g., README, Confluence, Wikis). I can draw all the architecture diagrams and have them structured with the align tools. And if I need to explain a concept further, I can embed everything I need to have the idea/concept well grasped.

I am using the Teams level plan. It is great because I can share a space with outside collaborators and they can edit and really work with me. The presentation, voting, and template tools are amazing as well.

Sometimes the navigation can get a little bit sticky or have issues but nothing major. The other thing is that it does tend to take new folks a bit of time to get oriented to how it works. But, nothing major. Overall, it is very intuitive.

Onboarding people to projects. Sharing and explaining strategy. Workshop facilitation. Ongoing project management.

Its flexibility and easy design are cool

not enough boards, and the templates are sometimes less flexible than making the same thing on your own.

Ideation of projects, brainstorming, and presentations are the main uses

What I like best about Miro is the full set of collaboration features, many integrations, and the Unlimited boundaries on a whiteboard. The ease of using, such as drag n' drop, URL uploads, video embeds, task lists, chat, frames, presentation mode... all add up to a great collaboration tool that meets my needs when putting together a project or campaign. The pricing options are thoughtfully set as Miro recognizes its users can be solopreneurs to enterprise and so there is pricing that fits for whatever size business you are. This is unique. Many other companies do not recognize the solopreneur or consultant in their pricing plans. Miro has become an essential tool for me whether I'm collaborating with clients or subcontractors.

Project planning using calendars or more standard task tracking is probably the only downside for me; however, I haven't explored the integrations yet that may be available for onboard project tracking.

Consulting calls with prospects have been converting for me 90% since using a Miro Board on the first call. Using this board enables me to present content to prospects in a way that's easy for them to understand. They value my offer to have access to the board as a reference tool whether they sign on with me or not and the majority have signed on. Other benefits have been having unlimited boundaries so that I can create a sandbox for each of my skill areas, hoarding content at will! I have even used my boards for home remodeling projects, keeping URLs and images in one place.

I have used Miro for simple process schematics, complex user journey sequence mapping, and even (as a guest) group training. I love that it's so easy to organize information visually. They also have templates, so you don't have to start from a blank slate. My whole team finds it nicer to reference information this way than in the old linear document form.

It requires a little practice to make stunning-looking boards, but it is intuitive and worth it.

Team sharing, storing of process information, and mapping user journeys. I'd be despondent if I couldn't use Miro anymore.

As a founder of a start up focused on providing professional services, my mind is constantly full of ideas and thoughts about moving forward. I particularly enjoy using the mind map tool to put my thoughts together. I also recommend these tools to my clients.

Not much, but I find it a little too 'design' focused. I would like to see templates that I can use in a business strategy and marketing context. But I can also make those myself.

As mentioned, it helps me put my thoughts together and map it out. I can also organise it into an action plan, particularly in actioning our marketing strategies. Finally, I use it in my workshops and with interns.

mind mapping, flowchart, brainwriting...

if the free limits are more than the current ones

memorize all training courses like the google ads course

The "infinite" white board and the fact that you can always use a bigger space if you need. I used to work on powerpoint/Google slide before but my problem was always the same: I was limited by the space of the slides I also like the fact that when you "paste" elements, they appear where your mouse is!

There is no "line" element!!!! Just arrows, it's so frustrating becauseI could use some lines when designing my landing pages on Miro. Also, I find it really inconvenient not to be able to easily select several elements with the mouse only => having to click on each one + maintain CTRL is a bit time consuming when you have 100 elements to select

It allows me to have only 1 work space for all my needs: marketing funnels, facebook ads campaigns plan, landing pages mockups

versatile tools within Miro helps me to use it for ideation, documentation, planning and strategy. i use story mapping tools and mind map on a daily basis and we use it as a tool to keep eachother informed on the evolution of flows/decisions

I dont dislike any feature. I do think voting, Jira addon and mind map could enhance features to be even more great

documenting flows, roadmapping, strategizing and mind mapping my tasks

When Covid started and we could not travel to work on research, it provided the opportunity for our team to work in live collaboration on research analysis and design

The tool has improved over the past 2 years, but it used to be clunky and hard to understand. Our company has a limited license or there is a limit of users when we collaborate.

I can also use it to share product flows and create presentation boards for product assessments to share with the team.

This tool has changed my data collection process

Nothing. Love the system. Works well. So well

Process mapping collaboration

I like the option to create different boards and to share them with different people. I also like the combination of creativity and organization tools that Miro boards allow. It creates a great space to work and collaborate with others. While other boards allow some of these options, the Miro is the only platform that I found that combines all of these useful tools.

I do not like it when Miro has technical difficulties and doesn't load. It is not happening a lot, but it might be a big problem when it happens just before you are going to work with others and collaborate on this platform. For example, it might happen just when you are starting a workshop or a meeting that you are going to facilitate. I always have a backup plan, but when you worked hard on a workshop or a presentation, you really want to use it.

I use Miro boards for mapping and planning my strategies, brainstorming ideas, and developing workshops and materials. I also use Miro to facilitate workshops and to collaborate and work with others. Another use is to work with clients and to provide them a wide picture of different materials and opportunities. It's also a great place to store workshop materials and things that I want to come back to and to continue building or working on later.

Like a project room in one of your browser tab, we use Miro to present, collaborate and iterate together. UI is simple and complete.

I'd love to be able to have a "temporary" editor, just the time of the session last, without having to add seats or get them to create an account.

I was already using Miro pre-covid to gather ideas, references, assemble a short presentation but it literally saves so many work sessions once we were all working remotely.

There's a lot to love about Miro. What I like best is the variety of options for tools, formats, and especially the templates based on specific methodologies. It's also easy to organize the canvas so that you can group it in any way your work requires, as well as exporting for those that prefer a non-digital format.

What I dislike are all the things I like! Working on a whiteboard takes effort and discipline to organize thoughts, activities, and conversations. But it's so good for me to use it as it helps me stay disciplined in my approach.

We're a fully remote team; working in a digital environment is an everyday experience for us. However, we still need collaborative environments where we can ideate and creatively problem solve. Miro has enabled this work.

We went from zero to an essential daily tool within weeks. Especially working with customers, e.g. workshops, changed completely. Visualisation of complex business questions and interactive discussions lead to better results.

We love it! Only the export options could be better and more / easier text format functions.

Visualize, discuss and jointly work on complex business questions with customers, mainly in online teams workshops.

It's all about the collaborative workspace. During the lockdown, this has been fundamental to getting things moving. We can produce designs, decks, ideas, reviews all in one place, and it's brilliant. The quick wireframe tools are great as well. Lets us draw a journey as a group and allows others to contribute and work tgether.

Keeping boards organized on the top level is a bit unruly. We use the project grouping but I think it still needs improving, maybe quicker ways to categorize what's on the board so we can find them easier.

Design problems mainly. Defining problems, gathering input and resources, wireframing, and then displaying the design results. We are able to show our workings very clearly from frames to final UI. We can keep previous designs and iterations on the board which will help us tell the story later or return to a version that might have been overlooked. It also gives Stakeholders the ability to review and contribute in their own time so not everything has to be discussed or captured in one single meeting. A big one for us has been writing our user stories and refining them together. This gives the team the opportunity to form both the problem and the solutions. It's great.

Each Miro board provides a virtual canvas that is shared in real-time amongst associates. The ability for all users to use the board at the same time, everyone can visually see what each other is creating and editing makes it feel like all participants of a meeting are in the same physical space when in fact we are not. The canvas allows almost anything to be uploaded and provides various tools and app integration. For example, want to mind map? There is a tool for that. Want a chart? there is a tool for that.. want to include a picture? There is integration with Google images.. Miro also provides prebuilt templates that allow you to create a board with content to get you productive faster. Need to have a retrospective? There is a template for that, you can even create your own template if needed. I highly recommend giving Miro a try the next time you need to collaborate, you will quickly become dependent.

We have had challenges with very large Miro boards specific to performance and loading times. If we do encounter issues related to performance, Miro is always very responsive and is consistently improving performance as they go.

As our team continues to expand globally having a collaboration tool like Miro allows for improved communication between locations and associates. It enables the UX team to collaborate with other groups within Cerner such as strategy and development. This collaboration reduces overhead (elimination of meetings while making required meetings more productive) while increasing speed and flexibility in deliverables by having a single medium for design conversations. This provides Designers, Product/Business Analysts, and Developers with the ability to review a complete context of the UX design without the need to review many individual documents.

Miro has made virtual workshops AMAZING! Has been absolutely crucial for making remote, collaborative research feasible. The templates have also helped our team learn and grow and expand how we present data (whether it's research or planning or strategy). MIRO has become a CRITICAL part of our daily work as a product team and has been especially useful to keeping lots of disparate data in one place.

Organization (project page) is not ideal. It makes it hard to find/re-find boards when collaborating with other team members. I think related is the sharing functionality isn't super easy to get right. Almost every day our team is like, "eek I can't find that board," I know it's on us to implement some kind of organization, but it is hard to keep track of the permissions and folder structure.

We are synthesizing and hosting workshops/ideation in a remote setting. We also do a LOT of planning using MIRO (roadmapping, project-specific planning). We have project boards that have our research plan, our designs, feedback on designs, presentations to stakeholders all in one place-- It's been a huge time-saver in that respect.

The infinite possibilities and the versatility that Miro offer. Love all the updates as well

Sometimes the connection with plug-ins are not easy to integrate

A lot. We use Miro for presentation, for taking notes during a meeting, for remote group work, creating some basic infographics, etc

The templates. In the past, I had to look for models from accelerators, but now I explore and choose the one that fits my needs better and personalize it.

Copying and editing work environments can be tricky sometimes, especially if there are boxes.

I am using for many things, as a collaboration tool and to keep track of my projects. I almost said goodbye to trello, since I can achieve so much more with Miro.

Fantasic tool for workshop collaboration

I'd like to be able to draw on post-its.

I need a collaboration tool that I can very quickly show clients how to use, so that they can all participate in a remote workshop environment

The many templates and the drawingpossibiliies. for me it is even better then working on a real whiteboard.

i cannot find anything that is not useful

Ik helps to structure and support digial meetings

The best of Miro is its ease of customization and power to quickly get the points across, working collaboratively with product folks and stakeholders. Users can join boards and projects together and draft requirements, wireframes, and more. I use it a lot for wireframing, quick brainstorming, and even research tracking and documenting.

It might be somewhat overwhelming to new users as it has many interesting features, that are at times not really needed to be available to everyone.

Remote collaboration, requirement gathering, workshop facilitation. It helps with being aligned with product, business and desgin. During remote-working times, there's much you could do using other tools, but there's so much more you can do while using Miro.

You can all see your layouts in one board as well as all the feedback that will be given by the client.

Maybe the least I like is that when you open a board, and you have know idea where to zoom in or zoom out lol

This checks the convenience rate and scalability-wise of the whole process of reviewing and sending the materials you wanna share with someone. Can be used in any material format and literally free board and easy to use!
