Miro Reviews & Product Details

There are many things I like about Miro. It allows you to stay organized with your research results, it is great for displaying and presenting your results in a clean and tasteful way, the different features that are available are great for collaborating across teams.

I wish there were more colors offered in the sticky note section. Because I work in research, I work with a lot of data and when I organize my data into different sticky notes, I find myself running out of color options to choose from.

Miro is a really helpful tool when it comes to organization and analysis of my data, but what I find extremeley helpful is its ability to allow you to collaborate across different teams which is something that is crucial to my job. Another problem that miro is solving is that it is a really creative platform that offers many different design features. I am not a very creative person, but what I find helpful is the pre-made template designs that Miro offers for their boards.

Very easy to share your thoughts/work with people. I also love how permissions can be managed at your company level. The tool is very performant and it always just works! In an age where software can get overcomplicated, causing frustration, Miro has built software that does not cause these frustrations. They have also figured out how to update the software live while you are using it in a way that is the least intrusive possible, which is very much appreciated while you are working with your team. In other words, Miro is very unobtrusive and powerful at the same time. Love it! In a perfect world where I could choose any software to whiteboard with, I would choose Miro.

The only thing I would change about Miro is to be able to have templates that work off what I have built before. That would be awesome! For example, I have a board that is a story map and a board that is an opportunity map. Miro has these as templates, but I'd rather use mine as a template. Instead of having to duplicate a board, I'd rather mark mine as a template that I could reuse.

Miro is giving us a collaborative platform that we can map out the problem space of our users, create opportunity maps and story maps of those problem spaces, and end with placeholders for new Epics that we can create in JIRA to get the work done. We also use it for live customer interviews. This helps us understand the problem that we are trying to solve and eliminate false solutions. Love the copy/paste feature for links that shows a preview!

- A vast virtual workspace, allowing users to expand infinitely. This is particularly useful for complex projects and extensive brainstorming sessions. -The interface is designed to facilitate the creation and the structure of the boards, enabling users to easily organize contents (and different kind of multimedia), create links between ideas, and navigate smoothly between different sections of the board. - Embedded AI to cluster or extract the main information in a section of the board

- The organization of the boards is on a list basis and different subfolders (in the teams) cannot be created. This could be a limit in order to archive the project boards as documentation - The CSV export of Active Users doesn't show, for each users, the related numbers of boards

Miro tool is supporting our mindset change. We are using Design Thinking methodology and by using Miro we are able to structure and lead different kind of workshops in profitably way leaving the contents available to different colleagues and avoiding long and boring emails. Furthermore, I'm finding it increasingly useful for designing mockups and wireframes too even if it is a "static" way.

Miro helps remote teams digest and analyze research results, for instance through affinity diagrams. It's very intuitive to use, with its drag-and-drop functionality, and has a lot of useful templates, built by Miro but also from its huge community. This makes Miro a very versatile tool: aside from research data analysis, it's also a good tool to prepare and run workshops, brainstorm and do some team-building games!

There are little downsides of using Miro. The most significant one from my experience is scalability: once you get a huge volume of data (e.g., from interviews or other research activities) it gets really hard to navigate and find what you need.

Since we work remotely, Miro is a key tool for us to analyze research data, but also share it with stakeholders. Without Miro, this would be extremely hard. Also, it's a very practical tool to brainstorm, even with oneself. It is also useful and very practical for us to do affinity diagrams of huge amounts of qualitative data.

The infinate canvas makes it possible to get everything related to a project in one space. I can keep adding new frames to separate my work, and trace a project from ideas to delivery. I use it on a daily basis, and it's my go to for sharing work breakdown structures.

There's a bit of a learning curve with it. People who are not tech savvy get overwhelmed and hesitate with using it. I often end up updating the board on behalf of myself AND my supervisor.

Miro helps me organize my thoughts before I even start a project. I'm able to whiteboard, build out a backlog, and share it with my peers before we even get to building the finished product. It also provides a location for my digital war room; I don't have to be bound by where I'm located.

Miro has totally changed the way I work with my colleagues virtually. It's unlimited space allows for flowing work, simple and effective to use and integrates well with Google Drive. When using it in workshops people quickly pick it up. I use Miro very frequently, daily in fact, to use for my work

Copy and pasting can often have bugs and poorly paste content from other systems outside of Miro. It can be a bit buggy at times such as the text fields being typed in but not updating unless the miro board refreshes and reverts to old text

Solving running workshops virtually, saving time from in person and not needing to write up, limitless page allows for ease of use and nifty shortcuts make things quicker

Sticky Notes are quite useful, I find myself using it over text boxes. I haven't had to raise a ticket with support yet, cannot comment on the experience. I find myself using Miro quite often, maybe daily, definitely weekly. Our team finds the UX easy to integrate into our workflows. Retros, Sprint Planning, & Inceptions are very straightforward to do in Miro.

I can't think of any off the top of my head. If I had to, I would suggest adding more music to the timer option, or the ability to add custom music (we use music during retrospectives).

Our team is almost fully remote, so having a tool to show someone stuff is useful.

During collaborative sessions, such as retrospectives, Miro's features, including voting and private mode, actively promote engagement. Participants find it easy to contribute to discussions and activities, enhancing the overall interactive experience. Beyond training, Miro plays a crucial role in my online process discovery sessions. The platform's versatility allows for swift drafting of processes, SIPOCs, and seamless integration with other tools like Smartsheet or Draw.io. One notable feature that adds immense value is the extensive library of templates within Miro. These templates, catering to various scenarios, save significant preparation time, making online sessions more captivating without compromising efficiency. In summary, Miro has seamlessly integrated into my toolkit, proving instrumental in elevating the effectiveness of my training sessions and collaborative initiatives. Its user-friendly interface, rich features, and template variety make it a go-to platform for dynamic and engaging virtual interactions.

No offline capabilities can be a drawback, especially in situations with unreliable internet connectivity.

One of Miro's notable advantages is its time-saving capability. When preparing collaborative online sessions, the platform's intuitive features and extensive template library streamline the process. This efficiency allows for more focused and impactful content creation without the need for extensive preparation time. Miro is also an easily accessible and user-friendly platform for seamless collaboration with both team members and individuals across the organization. This addresses the common challenge of coordinating efforts and sharing ideas, fostering a more connected and efficient work environment, especially when working remotely.

I like how Miro can facilitate brain storming in a team and provide a global team with a platform to share ideas, express their thoughts and make informed conclusions. It's easy to use and has great integration with other platforms and software and it's easy to implement for clients as well.

Miro makes it easy to collaborate online and therefore stops people from coming to office to have offline workshops :D

It solves business problems by providing a platform for clients and consultants to come together and express their ideas.

I love the ease of use for Miro. It's easy for my clients to pick it up and play with it themselves when we do workshops. I also love the templates to inspire my own templates. Can't do my job well without Miro!

I think the only thing I find annoying is how often it logs me out, maybe every 30 days? When I'm in a meeting it's inconvenient when having to jump through SSO.

Gives us a working space to bring ideas and strategies together.
