Miro has been widely employed for various purposes, including brainstorming and facilitating team discussions. Its use extends to enhancing presentations with visual cues instead of traditional slides. The platform aids in efficient sprint planning and project management while aligning teams effectively. Users have harnessed its GenAI features for creating diagrams, compiling meeting notes, and conducting design tasks such as mapping user flows and journeys. Miro also serves as a crucial tool for customer research activities, from initial planning and note-taking to the final synthesis. Moreover, it caters to virtual collaboration needs by supporting design reviews, workshops with external customers, and fostering knowledge sharing within design teams.
Template Variety: Users have expressed appreciation for Miro's diverse range of template layouts tailored to different project needs, enhancing creativity and organization. The platform's extensive template options cater to various preferences and requirements, offering a wide selection to suit diverse project scopes and styles.
Real-time Collaboration: Reviewers have highlighted the platform's real-time engagement and updates as beneficial for fostering teamwork across different time zones, facilitating efficient collaboration and communication among team members. This feature ensures that all stakeholders stay updated with the latest developments promptly.
Effective Tools: Many users find the AI delete background tools effective for sketch uploads, significantly improving the overall user experience by simplifying tasks like image editing. The tool streamlines workflows and enhances productivity when working on visual content within the platform.
Performance Issues: Reviewers have frequently reported significant performance problems with large boards taking a long time to load, negatively impacting the user experience. This issue hampers productivity and frustrates users trying to work efficiently.
Limited Drawing Capabilities: Users find the drawing capabilities, especially for shapes, to be restrictive and have requested more variety in shapes and the ability to save brand colors. The current limitations hinder creativity and design flexibility on the platform.
Difficulty in Board Organization: Some users express confusion when organizing boards by department, struggling with determining the correct placement for new boards. This lack of clarity disrupts workflow efficiency and makes it challenging to maintain an organized workspace.

Miro - collaborating efficiently
I use Miro for as much as possible. Anywhere I would previously have used a keynote, I have transitioned to Miro. I also use Miro as an agenda tool for my triad meetings. I house in that board a running calendar of key gates and dates as well as daily agendas.
- Collaboration
- Presenting
- Meeting agenda
- One stop shop
- Integration with keynote, ability to import presentations
- More useful tool integrations
- A suped up Kanban chart feature with more abilities
Miro is an excellent tool for quick and effective simultaneous collaboration. It's a good illustration tool at its core, but beyond most other illustration tools it combines the usual extended toolset of diagram widgets and such with seamless mechanisms for sharing a canvas with others remotely.
We use it primarily for mind-mapping exercises, workflow brainstorming and illustration, and (as part of our agile process) decomposition of project goals into successively smaller chunks to identify Epics, Features, and Stories.
We use it primarily for mind-mapping exercises, workflow brainstorming and illustration, and (as part of our agile process) decomposition of project goals into successively smaller chunks to identify Epics, Features, and Stories.
- Quickly and smoothly shifting around multiple components in an illustration without needing to "clean up" fiddly bits (e.g., connections being broken or whatnot)
- It might not seem like a large point, but the smoothness and fluidity of zooming in and out is a huge factor in not breaking focus
- Browsing for additional diagramming widgets for a given session is simple and intuitive
- The one aspect which kept the rating a "9" instead of a "10" is that I wish the general sense of fluidity and intuitiveness extended to being able to find previous diagrams. For some reason that's the one aspect which remains classically 'clunky'.
I use Miro to plan out creative campaigns visually. Since my department is so large and widespread, we have files and documents in many places. Displaying and connecting all of them in Miro shows leadership and colleagues how much work goes into our creative work. In addition to internal uses, as I mentioned, I also use Miro to collect information from collaborative brainstorming activities with colleagues outside of our department. Sometimes, this transfers in-person activities into Miro (to reference later), and occasionally, it's for people who can't attend an in-person brainstorming session.
- Allows me to visually show process work, quickly.
- Allows many others to participate (with minimal learning curve).
- Allows non-creatives to contribute in engaging ways.
- Text tool variations could be improved/streamlined.
- I wish there were more built-in/on-screen tools (with a customizable toolbar for new Miro users).
- More templates.

Miro: Enabling inclusivity and productivity
I lead teams of our most seasoned sales engineers focused on long-term direction of product and solution development. We use Miro extensively to brainstorm and flesh out ideas to increase sales, expand marketshare and gather more customer walletshare. Each team in regularly engaged in discussion guided by Miro boards that expand the discussion beyond the current.
- Provides a board for idea sharing that mimics the face-to-face experience
- Enables Wide Open Whiteboarding (WOW) and Design Thinking
- Exports information shared into spreadsheet format for analysis
- The Windows app times out too quickly, causing numerous re-logins to have to be completed in a day
- Need more capability to use images without having to leave the app (kind of like Word does)
- Flexibility for things like the timer, post-its, boxes, etc. to be moved on the screen, perhaps working across multiple screens.

The best collaborative tool
We use Miro for collaborations, present research and design, Retro, brainstorming and workshop sessions.
- Collaboration
- Templates
- Talktrack, for recordings
- Could improve on the charts feature can be better

Miro review from a Industrial Sales Professional
As an ideas whiteboard to collect and organize data that can be shared with work colleagues.
- Mind maps
- Organize information
- Combine images with information
- Easier way to create slide deck
- Options for panning, left click is more natural
- Integrate with OneNote and other Office tools

Miro from LinkedIn DM
We have a dispersed team that uses collaborative quarterly planning.
- Provides sharing options like permissions, starting view, an visibility to customize the experience
- Visual icons for major functionality
- Mirrored availability across web, app, and mobile
- Linked objects (grouped or linked with an arrow) don't have a meta relationship that you can take actions on, i.e. trace an arrow, edit a group
- Export to Excel, Paste to Excel still requires a transformation at the destination

Great Collaborative product for large teams
We use it for Operations Reviews between teams, planning for projects and tracking. We utilize templates for regularly used items that require consistency. Meeting agenda, noted and action in Miro as well. Additionally, we use Miro very often when we are kicking off new projects, or beginning to deep dive into problem solving. It is a great platform to collaborate and brainstorm ideas.
- Collaboration with remote teams around the world
- Vast work space for large and complex projects
- duplication and template usage
- track changes
- file integration
- speed and responsiveness
- storage and file structure for retrieval

Love it, keep pushing on polish
Miro is usually the starting point whenever we do any scanning or research, journey, maps, ideation sessions, business organization, mapping internal research, even early ideation for visuals that later go into PowerPoint. Working with teammates exclusively online makes Miro pretty invaluable to us as a team. We even used it for more social gatherings, like getting to know new members of a team or teambuilding activities even collecting words of gratitude when sending off a team member to new endeavors.
- Live collaboration
- Low complexity
- The auto detection of whether using a mouse or trackpad does not work well for me. I often have both connected at the same time and might switch which one I’m using and it doesn’t pick up which one I’m using at the moment.
- I would love to have cursor chat like in FigJam
- Would be awesome to have higher resolution or vector based emoji. The canvas environment encourages you to make emoji large, but they are designed to be text sized so the resolution shows quickly.

Hybrid Workplace Essential!
Our Customer Experience team leverages Miro to run internal and cross-functional programs. We've used Miro to manage internal trainings, workshops, Agile Scrums/Sprint Planning/Sprint Reviews, and ad hoc brainstorming. As a remote/hybrid team, this software is critical to our team's ability to collaborate in an accessible setting that creates an even field of contribution for all colleagues. <br><br>Miro allows us to operate with collaboration, access, and inclusion -- The variety of templates and features makes it easy and intuitive to adopt and leverage.
- Collaboration in a hybrid world
- Cross-functional workshops
- Templates
- Built in features for running trainings/pre-reads (ie. pre-recording board walk throughs)
- Simple 'guest' access when running workshops
- Continue growing template library, we love them

Great tool for those who love whiteboards
I have several use cases for Miro. First and foremost, it is my whiteboard tool. Anytime I would have used a whiteboard in the office and need to do so remotely, I open up Miro. It's great for brainstorming, mind mapping, building charts, graphs, and process documentation, especially in the early phases when I'm not exactly sure what I need. I really like the stopwatch functionality built in and the talk tracks as well. It allows me to facilitate a meeting and stick to strict timings and/or build a board and asynchronously iterate on it by recording talk tracks.
- Brainstorming and iteration
- Process documentation
- Meeting Facilitation
- adding shapes to a process map that spans more than one swimlane (Miro automatically adjusts my swimlanes and I don't want that)
I love using Miro for virtual meetings and more specifically for their sticky notes feature as it is great for remote workers to provide immediate feedback which makes collaborating really easy. And since we use Google Workspace, Miro works great for us as it can easily integrate with it which make task management and project tracking more efficient. Also sharing files and links on Google Drive is really convenient with Miro which further helps us enhance our teamwork and productivity.
- It enhances productivity by boosting collaboration and visualization.
- It improves thinking and customer mapping and handles virtual meetings well.
- Its flexible web templates allow for spontaneous brainstorming and mind mapping.
- Inconsistent search feature.
- And if more than 80 people join the meeting, it may slow down. But that many people is very unlikely.
- Large boards can also sometimes slow down your connection.

Miro Experience
During my time in school and industry, nearly every project received it's own Miro page. The main need being a collaborative workspace to plan projects, document data, and share ideas. Similarly, this would carry into my industry experience where we'd use Miro for product and space design. Some issues did relate to the sensitivity of information we didn't want in the cloud.
- Bring in templates for use. Quick and easy exploration + drag in.
- Creation of frames, text, and stickies. These are the main tools my team utilizes for data analysis. (We prototype else where)
- Showing where teammates are and what they are looking at or working on.
- Color palette is buried and difficult to use. Tends to lead me away from prototyping in Miro.
- Load times of boards can take a while.
- Security with sensitive information.
- Add people to a workspace/team can be confusing and lead to people creating things where they shouldn't.
- How might we incorporate more emerging tech?
We use Miro primarily for collaboration in a remote working environment. It has proven effective as a platform for getting ideas from multiple individuals, identifying trends, and categorizing the broader concepts exposed through exercises of that nature. It has also proven an effective tool for collaborating across disciplines and helping to visually align a product roadmap with a technical roadmap. It can also be leveraged effectively, creating point-in-time touchstones that represent the collective thinking of a point in time. If there were one thing I wished it would do more effectively, it would be to create a more fluid technical diagramming experience so it could serve as a one-stop shop rather than importing images from other more effective diagramming tools. I feel it has enhanced my work experience, and I view it almost as necessary for an environment that operates as a remote workforce.
- Collaboration across teams.
- Organizing disparate materials in one single place.
- Creating a touchstone for point in time thinking and showing the evolution of that over time.
- Diagramming features are clunky and lack aesthetics.
- Integrations to some external platforms like Jira could be improved upon.
- Slack integration could offer more useful features.

Miro is the perfect tool for companies that need asynchronous and visually pleasing communication
I'm from the customer experience and customer marketing team, so I use Miro a lot for countless demands.
In my routine, I constantly need to use Miro to create user journeys, investigate bottlenecks and consolidate information, presentations to internal teams, brainstorms, service flows, as well as teamwork.
Overall, my use case is to constantly analyze and improve our customers' experience.
- building user journeys
- brainstorms
- team work
- presentations
- presentations
- presentations
We use Miro to create journey maps form CRM initiatives and comms frameworks for campaigns. Miro’s tools allow us to effectively parse out the pieces of our business problem so we can address each step. The collaboration function is also invaluable when it comes to reaching a consensus re: feedback, builds and next steps. I also love creating Miro boards for research projects as a haven for source materials.
- Customer Journey Map formatting
- Prioritization exercises
- Collaboration during brainstorms
- Snap to grid function
- Auto resizing function to make elements match
- AI integration for meeting notes

Miro Whiteboard Tool
I use Miro with cross functional project teams to capture shared assets and individual inputs from different team members.
- Simple controls that are easy to get started with
- Infinite canvas
- Use of frames
- Ability to show/hide content
- Restricting the ability for participants to unintentionally manipulate parts of the board that are meant to be static
- Integration with PowerPoint
- Layers within frames

Miro totally saved my life in COVID
I'm an innovation consultant, which is a fancy term for being a facilitator that gets ideas out of a business’s head and into some sort of tangible form. Miro is my favorite way to do this, as it's easy to use, somewhat restrictive in its design ethos (focus on the problem, not the form), and allows global teams to swarm--even async.
When COVID hit, I really worried about my ability to run large form workshops and qualitative interviews. With Miro, not only could I do all of that from home (mostly), but I already had all of my work digitized and ready for synthesis--immediately after the meeting. It's magic. A research run used to be measured by time in the field = time in synthesis (so, 1 week in the field, 1 week in a room). Now, with Miro, I can cut the synthesis time in half, and get to insights much faster.
Anyway, there are few tools that I'd actually rave about, but Miro is actually one of the key things in my quiver.

Anyway, there are few tools that I'd actually rave about, but Miro is actually one of the key things in my quiver.
- Inclusive ways of engaging customers
- Restrictive design that let's me focus on the problem
- Super easy to learn and train folks to learn
- The music is terrible (I never use it, and the feature is sorta broken)
- Advanced ways of creating shapes would be nice
- Rasier access to the ai tools would be lovely
- Distributing objects that have joins (arrows) is not as easy as it could be

My use of Miro
We use it as a whiteboarding tool, and as a complicated component design capture tool.
- Easy to put together component diagrams
- Easy to collaborate with others as multiple people can look at the same thing
- Can add a lot of content
- Frames is good to encapsulate related data
- The zoom is super confusing. Different people draw diagrams at different zooms. For few days, I thought 100% should be default. But text at zoom 100% is too small. So I need to zoom in whenever I need to add text.
- If we have to look back after a long time, Confluence seems better as there are lot of explanations and a specific flow from top to botton. In Miro, it is hard to follow as we don't know where to start and where to end for big boards. Frames can provide some structure, but no one uses it for that.
- The board can be put at many places in the tree. It is hard to find it later.
We use Miro for brainstorming and ideation, to generate and organize ideas collaboratively and create mind maps to organize our thoughts. Additionally, it serves as a project management tool, helping us plan and track projects, assign tasks, and --less often-manage workflows. Sometimes, we also use Miro for customer journey mapping, to analyze and improve the customer experience journey.
- Visual collaboration on diagrams, charts, and other visual content in real time.
- It facilitates design thinking workshops.
- Roadmaps and timelines planning.
- Improve the mobile app to offer a smoother and more intuitive user experience.
- Expand the library of templates for different use cases and industry-specific cases.
- An offline mode that allows users to access and work on boards even when they don't have an internet connection, with changes syncing once they reconnect.

Miro Review
During one of my internships, my company used Miro for service design. It was a very helpful tool for visualizing and synthesizing information. We would use it as a visual during interviews and fill out a template we made with the interviewee. We also kept a calendar in one board because our team had members from different companies. This made it easier to share information like out of office times and important dates. Miro would also be used for retrospective meetings and collaborative sessions. After my internship ended, I continued using Miro for my course work in college. I use it to take notes and organize information. I've found it as a very helpful tool for studying and for planning out the work I need to do.
- Great for organizing and visualizing information
- It's easy to collaborate with others
- Very flexible tool when designing
- Check boxes from wireframe library are buggy
- loading time can be slow, especially for large boards
- More options for the background color of a board

Miro is amazing
Miro is the best tool I have found for supporting hybrid, global, teams brainstorming and collaborating on strategy and innovation. I also enjoy the wide variety of integrations with other collaboration platforms like Microsoft teams, WebEx, and slack. The templates are particularly important in an agile environment that encourages input from all stakeholders.
- Design thinking templates
- Cross-functional collaboration
- Facilitation
- Easier exporting
- Single sign-on complexity

Miro is a MUST if you have a remote team.
Our team has been almost entirely distributed for as long as we've been a company. The ability to work through topics together -- whether it's whiteboarding, doing UX exercises, or charting a journey (of a person, product, or company!), Miro has been a lifesaver.
The templates are a great jumping off point for newbies, but more often than not, we wind up just using some stickies and some basic shapes and we're off and running. The ability to recreate a genuine work session while not being physically in the same room is something we have not found with any other software.
The templates are a great jumping off point for newbies, but more often than not, we wind up just using some stickies and some basic shapes and we're off and running. The ability to recreate a genuine work session while not being physically in the same room is something we have not found with any other software.
- Co-working: the ability to tag in colleagues at exact points of the screen, or have them follow your cursor so they don't get lost.
- Customization: the ability to change colors, sizes, and details so you can mark things up individually and know what's what when you go back to it.
- Commenting: the ability to leave comments and tag others to those comments. This is becoming increasingly standard these days, but Miro was an early adopter, and it's made a big difference when our team is working asynchronously.
- Templates: feeling like you don't know where to start? Pull up the myriad of template options and start clicking around. It's sure to get your brain going.
- I'd like it to be easier to export frames and maintain quality.
- More shapes!
- More sticky colors. (Is this silly? Yes. But it would be helpful when working with a big team and a lot of topics.)

Miro works to put your mind on screen and build a plan!
I use Miro daily to break down business processes in unison with the agile work-stream. Some coworkers are visual learners, by using Miro, I am able to document outcomes, tasks and to-dos via result chains using Miro. Miro allows me to simplify the process of ironing out work to be done, and providing a visual representation of the process for both review and publication. Before Miro, I used a pen and paper, now I am able to document the way I think, or work with co-workers, and document they way they think visually. The tool is valuable, and work-life is made simpler using Miro.
- Result chains
- Process documentation
- Applying thought to screen
- Works with the Jira tool
- My needs have not outgrown Miro, and it does everything I need it to do very well

Works Perfectly for IT Workload Management
I use Miro to facilitate my team's daily stand-up, manage my team project pipeline, vet ITSM, ITAM and Discovery processes, design ITAM frameworks, communicate our overall ITxM eco-system with stakeholders and executive teams, and brainstorm possible design work with stakeholders.
- Easy to use for my team, they don't waste cycles how to do this or that.
- Graphically represent what is needed, in progress and completed.
- The out-of-the-box templates are very helpful and helps me get a headstart.
- Provides a better picture regarding any projects we manage through Miro. All stakeholders can easily see it, what has been accomplished, what's next and where the challenges are.
- Better navigation with a touchpad. I use a mouse, but some of time prefer the touchpad, and being able to navigate a large Miro can get cumbersome. The nav map helps, but perhaps make it larger.
