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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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

Score 8 out of 10
Vetted Review

Incentivized
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.)

  • 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.

  • Visualize options - many different options for how to show process and organize thoughts is very helpful
  • Miroverse/templating is great to draw from and be inspired by
  • Opportunities to contribute to the Miroverse is fun - we have a team member who was recently published and it was an exciting moment for her and our team.
  • Sometimes hard to know where to start for what you're trying to accomplish - as a manager I am not in there day to day and sometimes I just need some easy-to-go templates to help me lay my thoughts out. Sometimes the Miroverse can be too much to sort through, and a blank slate can be overwhelming - help me get started!
  • It would be amazing to have a guide to say... what are you trying to do today? And then give me some starting options that may just be nicely positioned and coordinated colored boxes that don't make me think. i spend too much time thinking about things like shapes, colors, post-it vs. text box vs shape and it can be frustrating
  • More targeted organization of the Miroverse. There's a lot there and it would be helpful to get some more targeted recommendations
  • Color palettes - help non-designers make it beautiful without having to think too hard about it.
  • Organize and find my boards - i have lots and it's hard to remember which ones i want for which purpose and have been shared... it can be too much.

  • Easy navigator and board visibility
  • Common shapes and elements that I need to use are available
  • Resizing makes it very flexible
  • I'd love to see Grammarly (or some sort of autocorrect tools) on top of Miro
  • Arrows and lines are not easy to use and sometimes drag my frames
  • I'd love to see more real product shapes and full components (not just buttons)
  • Benchmarking please! ideas for wireframes etc

  • Generating sticky notes - most people can figure that out w/ no/little orientation
  • process diagraming - this has gotten much better in the last year
  • wireframing websites and user interfaces
  • icons - they used to stink, but now they are WAY better - a small but important thing
  • Some objects that support text don't support formatting (i.e. bullets) and that can be annoying, especially when you don't test it first and then all of the sudden you need them. I wouldn't expect support for stickies, but pretty much all other objects.
  • the product is doing a really good job of releasing new features, i'm not really sure I have more suggestions
