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.

My experience with Miro.
- It is easy to add different nodes as things need to be added.
- Being able to reformat the layout in one click.
- I use the templates all the time.
- I don't like that all boards that are opened show up in the home screen.
Miro review
- Facilitation. We do retros, discuss plans to bring teams together, brainstorm solutions to product problems.
- Knowledge base. Some things are easier to present in visual form. This can be a technical diagram or a CJM of a product.
- Product work. It is convenient for me as a product manager to write down the main thoughts of the interview in cards.
- Also, I have already mentioned CJM. In some cases we use the JTBD framework, so visualisation is also done in Miro board- Also, the training team actively uses boards for internal workshops.
- Retro. At different stages of the meeting it is important to be able to work with the board at the same time (to indicate what went well or badly), as well as to be able to quickly visualize the information (to combine clusters of problems) and to indicate solutions with arrows.
- Display information at different levels of abstraction. This is especially important for our product backlog. It is important for different people in the organization to see different levels of presentation.
- All the benefits of a physical whiteboard, plus the advantages of the digital world. Working with the world is extremely intuitive. You can invite people who use Miro once a week and I don't have to do a 15 minute briefing on how to use the tool for them.
- The big boards are starting to slow down.
- Due to the wide zoom capabilities, cards that differ in size by 50 times can appear on the board at the same time. I think this happens because there are no visible reference points for users. There are a few: font size (if you write in 50th, it seems a bit much, doesn't it?) or card size (when you make an L-sized card and it's so small that it's almost invisible compared to the others. These are minor things for board users, but inconveniences me as an owner.
- I've tried doing presentations in Miro. It really needs a tutorial to figure it out. And I don't like tutorials, Miro is a tool that doesn't need one!
- I still haven't figured out the templates, I have a few standard boards I could use but haven't found the right ones in the store. Also when creating a new board I always create a empty board.
- Adding people is a pain. Starts meeting with developers from different teams and then it turns out half of them don't have access. Hoping it will be granted is futile. More importantly it's pretty pointless, the next time they'll need to edit something in Miro in another six months.
- I have some large number of organisations tied to my home and work email accounts. Inside are the business plans of companies I have never worked with. I'm not sure they would want me to have access there. I think it's because I was once added to an organisation so I could work once on one particular board.
- Need to outline a migration plan for the new service
- You need to describe the scheme of the service operation
- You need to brainstorm the team
- Ease of using the stickies feature
- The lefthand tool bar and it's customizations for what is most used by an individual user
- Internal and external teams that can also be secured at an access level and the backend data
- Flexibility to add boards to projects for better organization
- Being able to create enterprise templates and team templates
- Search speed for boards. takes a long time when you have a LOT of boards in the team
- Some sort of homepage that is individual that can leverage a favorites across my many teams
- The speed at which templates are filtered through the search take a long time
- Want to be able to search across teams that I'm a part of
- Real-time collaboration.
- Quick and easy formatting of notes.
- Tagging of notes to form themes and analyze data.
- Guide new Miro users during a session.
- Provides a lighthearted environment that is fun and inclusive visually.
- Expanded design tools - as a UX designer, I am quite limited in the mockups I can create.
- Expanded meeting features, currently have to make a frame to add it to the pres. I just want to select where the screen will stop for each point, like a snapshot.
- Themes are really fun; I'd like more of those with content and suggestions on meeting types.
One Product Design Manager's Take
- Virtual real-time collaboration.
- Concept ideation.
- Workshop facilitation.
- The sketch tool is lacking precision.
- Locking objects is not clear to new users.
- Pre-checking for access could be made more simple.
- Video chat with Teams should be easier to see who you are talking to even with a large group.
Great Application and Easy Use!

- organization
- multiple users

less appropriate if you want to send documents etc.

Visualization for presentations
Miro Review from Marketer in Retail Industry
- Ease of use
- Collaboration
- Onboarding resource
- Easier ways to export and share with non-Miro users
- Improved connection to Jira
- Connection with Microsoft Teams
Program strategy and M&E
- Provides a search template.
- Gives you access to boards.
- An excellent alternative tool for visualizations.
- I’d like more color options for sticky notes and squares.
- More options for templates related to conceptual mapping.
- Ability to use more than three boards when you are with a company.
- Better ability to create a readable PDF from a certain area in a board.
Miro as an essential product management tool.
- Drag and drop shapes, easy to change colors, fonts and sizes.
- Organize content by frames.
- Templates to use for roadmaps, plans, strategies.
- It's so difficult to know what I'm entitled to with my license, especially if I'm accessing a board through someone else's link. I believe I have an enterprise license and own/edit more than three boards. My team has more than three boards. All of a sudden, I'm flagged as having a free version, and one of my boards is locked as "read-only." I have no idea what to do to restore my entitlement. I've logged out and logged back in.
- Using projects to manage multiple boards is good, but somehow, the dashboard feels like a mess. It's not clear who on my team is actively doing what on which board. I'm not suggesting a new scheme; I'm just saying the current scheme isn't very good.
- I hate not knowing the terms of my account, who my team is, and where it's all managed. Frustrating!
Advanced Miro user.
- Amazing templates.
- Ideation and brain storming.
- Capturing team status.
- Transparency across multiple groups.
- The left nav ribbon is not as easy to navigate, and people struggle to navigate it.
- It would be great if there were true help text when you hover, not just what the item is on the ribbon.
- Some sort of navigation of the board as new people struggle with How to move on the board and how to not delete others work.
Miro is pretty cool!
- Has all the design/ idea generation tools and templates.
- Easy to make quick wireframes.
- Easy to store and maintain research documentation.
- AI assistant - It helps me to summarize key findings.
- Collaboration—When I get a request to share insights on a particular topic, I can share my board, which documents the whole process.
- Visualization of data - excellent for presentations.
- Changes that were made in the Miro board by other people without tagging me or making comments.
Review
- I think that it is very convenient with the shortcuts like n for a sticky note.
- It is an easy set up process.
- Very colorful and well organised.
- The free plan to use more than 3 boards.
A competent collaborative diagramming application that lacks great text-editing features.
- UML modelling.
- Sticky notes.
- Real-time collaboration.
- Team-based projects (Teams & Boards).
- Mind maps & Brainstorms.
- Text editor (lacking markdown, multiple styles in one paragraph, etc.).
- Unable to resize sticky notes freely (limited to two options).
- Can't edit an element while a collaborator is also editing it.
Why Miro is perfect in an education setting.
- Very user friendly.
- Foster collaboration.
- Much easier to keep track than using physical boards and post it notes!
- Can become laggy once the board gets too big.
- Size limit for files import. I wish there was an option to downsize files that are too big!
- Pen thickness could be thicker for larger notes!
Miro User
Miro helps us visualize and create a roadmap for addressing various problems within our company internally and externally within our industry. It has also been useful as a way to collaborate with colleagues & stay focuses/connected on the same goals.
- Diagrams & flow charts
- Collaboration
- Flexibility
- Unlocks creativity
- Too many locked features/shapes
- Create more ways for organization of projects - maybe by having multiple tabs for a certain file
- Improved communication with other users
Using Miro for organization of ideas and brainstorming can sometimes be a bit of a challenge. It would be great if it had some more functionality & ease of use in that regard.
Miro is our hero
- Large library of templates to use
- Easy to create user flows
- Great features for holding brainstorms: timer, dot voting, notes section
- Sometimes difficult to locate projects.
- Making some boards private
Great for planning. There are lots of components to use where we can create an inventory checklist in a table and a roadmap. So having diverse components helps achieve different tasks.
Collaborative Teams Benefit from Miro!
- Organizes data effectively
- Has great UI to keep teams engaged
- Allows for active collaboration
- Many different options for use cases on team or individually
- Ability to make sticky notes larger in rectangle shape, not just square
- Easier exporting to jpg/png
- Templates created/organized for powerpoint slide shaped features
Miro ideal for modern dispersed collaboration
- Visual representation
- Brainstorming/whiteboarding
- Process design
- Documentation
- Recording of sessions within Miro
- Easier management of team access
- Provides numerous templates and the ability to customize them.
- Can easily integrate with keynote and notion.
- Can export the whole whiteboard for later use.
- Users can add sticky notes to add additional comments.
- Improve the time it takes to import a whiteboard from an existing file.
- And it is not a drawback but they should add more templates.
Bring you and your teammates on the same page.
- Ability to handle extremely large canvas size
- Integration with other Apps and Plus ins
- Auto alignment and sizing guidance
- With regards to text size at a given zoom level, once the board is initiated at a certain zoom level, it becomes very difficult to change the level.
- During screen sharing, Miro often goes into 'syncing' mode. The lag is pretty high a lot of times.
- Wireframe library is not so great currently.
Some of the users try using it for getting a wireframe or tracking progress or as document creator. After intese efforts the outcome does look prettier but from business perspective it does not make sense to put so much effort just to improve aesthetics. Might make sense for organisations who need to show these to clients on a regular basis.
- Ability to create and group content visually
- Creating flows is seamless with the simplicity of creating shapes and anchoring to eachother.
- Conducting workshops is fantastic and it allows for easy collaboration.
- This is more a user problem, but I find I can have very messy miro boards, and at times I'm not sure the best way to organise them - have everything in one project or create several projects for different tasks?
- I would like the ability to add larger images, as at times I have screenshots of web pages and Miro doesn't accept them past a certain pixel dimention.
Miro - collaborating efficiently
- 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
