Miro is the main platform we use to conduct research. We house all of our templates: hypothesis, note-taking, synthesis, and report out. We also link all video recordings from customer interviews.
  • Allows for collaboration
  • The boards are large enough to house an entire project in one place
  • Color coding - you can add frames and organize information in an easy-to-find/highlight way
  • Templates - there are only two templates for birthday cards
  • Images - allows more interaction
  • Journey mapping templates
Project planning - we use it for our meeting stand-ups. we can keep track of who is working on what
Collaborating tool - for fun things, we use it to create birthday cards, recognition, etc.

As strategic technology consultants, we facilitate workshops and sessions internally and with customers to ideate on problem spaces and uncover solutions together.
  • Easy access to shapes, notes and tools.
  • Great integration to other users templates with Miroverse.
  • Great integration with 3rd party tools like Google image search and Microsoft Teams.
  • Still find user management with external customers to be harder than it should be.
  • License management is a pain point.
It's a great collaborative tool with lots of upside and very few bumps or challenges. I've had amazing success facilitating remote workshop sessions and even in-person sessions where we wanted to memorialize workshop user input! We've had customers do solution sketches and provide very detailed feedback, and having that to refer back to later is a huge plus.

We use Miro to do multiple activities, including:
- creative moodboards
- brainstorming and teardown activities
- project management
- seasonal product tracking boards
- design boards
- calendar and process mapping
The number of users on Miro boards and Projects varies depending on the scope of the activity, and can go anywhere from a small group of 2-5 users, to broad groups for larger activities of over a 100 shared users.
  • Provides freedom to users to explore multiple pathways to express and create
  • Variety of integrations with other software and apps
  • Different levels of accessibility based on privacy requirements
  • Notifications when comments are added on a board
  • Wide range of possible uses, from purely creative to more practical and operational, while still allowing for creativity
  • Easy to learn and use software and pleasant design
  • Integrations with certain mainstream applications such as keynote, for example
  • opportunity to add live documents from other applications without pasting them as mere images or values, so they keep refreshing if the source file changes, similar to a Smartsheet dashboard or air table. For example, add an excel table or Smartsheet card that updates automatically if the original file or card is updated at the source.
  • Have basic calc functions on tables similar to an excel table
  • More user friendly project calendar and timeline tools (current ones are very manual to build and require a lot of micro-management to maintain. A calendar with swim lanes for example, is made of multiple square shapes that then need to be individually edited.
- Track and share work in a visual format that can be easily navigated by multiple users, and everyone can add or edit content.
- Building org charts
- Collaborating on projects and presentations
- Creating a visual central hub with links to external documents and e-links
- Whiteboard exercises during virtual meetings

I’m a User Experience designer and use Miro to document design thinking sessions, research, journey maps, story maps, and design iterations. The biggest advantage of Miro for me is that I can send a single link to developers, managers, stakeholders, and users who may need to participate in studies or checkin on the progress of a project. Anything from links to contextual inquiry videos, screenshots of related legacy app screens, images of grayscale or hifi mocks pulled in from XD or Figma, or final voting on prioritization maps - these are all ways we can reach agreed upon solutions for our enterprise software.
  • The Azure Card plugin allows us to link storymap items directly to our backlog and create a protobacklog
  • Hosting large groups and documenting their feedback simultaneously
  • Time boxing feedback iterations
  • Hosting a multitude of plugins
  • I want to be able to upload more images / greater sized images at once
  • I want better vector tools
  • More AI integration
Miro is infinitely better than Microsoft Whiteboard. It’s not a sub category of Figma, like FigJam, that relies on the success or failure of a design program - so I think Miro will be around longer than Figma which might be purchased and sold many times. Miro is not an Adobe product that requires big monthly subscription payments. Miro is accessible via web or app and that’s a bonus when you’re hosting large groups.

Miro have a great community where users responds to your every problem and concerns and comments. And I've been using it regularly for almost more than three years and thanks to its great UI that simplifies planning, I've had a great experience. Plus teams can chat, share files and vote and do a lot of other stuffs too.
  • Great active user community and support so all your problems can easily be fixed.
  • Simple UI so easy to use.
  • Teams can chat, share files and vote very easily.
  • Need more templates and customization option.
  • More simpler and competitive pricing.
  • Sometimes slow or unresponsive when using a large board.
From my past three years of experience, I can say that Miro is a great tool with many useful features. Which includes teams chatting with each other, sharing files of any format which by the way is very useful and voting on a poll. There are also many other features but these are the most useful to me. But one downside that I would say is that the pricing structure is a bit complex and needs to simplify.

As a designer, I and my team use Miro for sharing design project process. From initial design research, competitive landscape, and idea sketch, etc Miro is very helpful tool for us
  • Paste images from web and help analysis them at one location - text description, color marking, call out is all possible
  • Initial sketching capabilities (with multiple line thickness and color, as well as shading capabilities)
  • Possible to use multiple templates like PowerPoint or word. Also built-in presentation mode is also very useful
  • Multiple boards templates to use depending on the project type
  • When I creaing a sketches from slide presentation mode as a part of design project slide, default setting of the line thickness is too thick from the beginning. I wanted to use very thin lines time to time, the only option I found was to draw stuff big and reduce the size later. It would be great if I can control sketching line thickness bit more than current
  • For the erase mode. Currently I need to delete entire line if I want to edit something. This is not ideal if I only want to edit small area. it would be great if you can allow me to delete entire line or erase only part of it. Make erase mode more flexible
  • When I add some marker shading, I wanted to control opacity, but Miro doesn't have this option. Please add opacity control option
  • Text editing: currently All the text need to be controlled together except make some portion to Bold or different color. I wanted to make a different sizes, but it is not possible unless Make them separate text box. Please add more font control capabilities
It is perfect tool for brainstorming (digitally) and share live document

I've used Miro extensively in two careers: a freelance business and my personal life. I have used Slack as an educational tool while I teach UX/UI design. I have used Slack to present ideas to clients and actively visualize our brainstorming and review sessions live on camera. Miro is a potent visual tool. Connections have become a crucial part of my creative and expressive process. I always prefer to show clients or in interviews. Not only that, but I feel that Miro is the only tool where I can showcase my thought process to others and myself. Miro is a crucial part of how I think and figure things out.
  • User flows. better than any other tool in existence.
  • Rapid ideation.
  • Drawing connections between elements and showcasing thought process.
  • Duplicating notes is almost instantaneous. so much faster than FigJam.
  • I would really love to see some AI features in Miro.
  • Miro has a lack of plug ins.
This is literally my favorite piece of software in the world. It's irreplaceable to me. Miro is a game-changer for running creative meetings or check-ins with clients. Clients WOW at the screen when I capture our meeting in notes and diagrams live on screen. FigJam is flashy. Miro is powerful.

We use Miro for several use cases. The primary use case is for group collaboration. Hoping into Miro with many team members and collaborating is fast and easy, and it just works. A secondary use case, but was my first use case for Miro, is presentations. I feel like Miro is ok at presentations, but I default back to slides often. I also use Miro for technical diagrams and find it strong there.
  • Group Facilitation.
  • Technical Diagrams.
  • Neat things for group collab like timers and voting.
  • Ease of having multiple people in a board.
  • Board Sharing.
  • Overall controls...zooming in and out moving around.
  • On-the-fly whiteboarding. My preference for this is Excalidraw. I find it easier to use in a real-time situation with customers when I need to draw something out quickly.
  • I have stopped using Miro for presentations; I find it clunky. I have used frames in the past, but when you need to go out of order, then things get weird. It's great for storyboarding but not necessarily for a formal presentation.
I would definitely recommend it to people for what it is great at: group collaboration. My prior rating had it at a seven overall, I believe. That is because it doesn't do everything I need. I no longer use it for presentations, and I find Excalidraw better at whiteboards. But it is still a must-have tool in the toolbelt.

Miro is used as a collaboration tool in our workday. We use it for brainstorming, and planning out work in a roadmap. It is extremely helpful for PI Planning to visualize the plan for each ART and Team. Miro is used to create fishbone diagrams to help determine cause and effect of our problem statements.
  • Kanban Work
  • Collaborate with Team members to
  • Voting on ideas with a timebox
  • Converts to our system of record
  • The movement of items when you do not want them to move and are just trying to highlight 1 thing you get multiple
  • Sometimes it is challenging to new users when you use some of the more advanced features such as Gif, Links
  • Would be nice to have an export option
PI Planning is a great scenario where it is exceptional. It creates a collaboratinve environment where distributed teams can participate and our stakeholders are able to view progress as planning continues during the day. They are able to place a comment on an item if there is a question and clarification is needed. It also can integrate with Azure so we can link directly to work items. With the remote work environment this replaces the large PI wall that we would have had in a live environment.
The less appropriate use i have seen is there is a board created for every single item someone wants to talk about and not being used appropriately with frames to have different topics on the same boards.

Mainly for collaboration and for Scrum and Agile teams. We use it to share ideas, track tasks, define roadmaps and make decisions
  • Visualizing ideas
  • Templates
  • Collaborating
  • Load times
  • Lack of metrics for things like velocity, burndowns, etc
  • Too expensive
Well suited for teamwork and sharing thoughts collaboratively. Not well suited for tracking metrics, scorecards, etc. wish it had a way to easily have the same sticky in multiple places and multiple board update at the same time. Also you have to duplicate stuff across boards instead of having a item or items in a frame update in one place and then see it in other places with the same update

Financial control is more of a collective role that we share amongst teammates and Miro has been helping us streamline our operations by giving us a mutual team space. This shared space allows us to unite our strength in work by collaborating on every single project and work that is assigned to us. With Miro, we have been able to develop a cohesive teamwork spirit which sees us achieve better results and optimize our workforce.
  • Collaboration is very easy with screen sharing and whiteboards.
  • It help generate better work plans using flowcharts and journey maps.
  • Powerful diagramming capabilities making work visualization simple.
  • The work automations simplifies tedious tasks like generating mind maps.
  • Very comprehensive security tools for protections against security breaches.
  • There has been nothing out the normal with Miro.
  • The very reliable user support services makes usage experience flawless.
Initially, we implemented Miro to help us build up better work togetherness through collaboration but we came to benefit much more from Miro other than just collaborating. It offered a complete team working platform that allows us to take full charge of our financial projects from developing work plans and objectives together, visualizing our work plans and activities and working collaboratively towards achieving these objectives.

As a senior project manager in my department, we use Miro at multiple stages of project scoping, daily management, spontaneous discussion documentation. Another huge use case is workshop templates for a whole host of internal organizational tools that we develop and maintain ranging from Kanban issue tracking, to a variety of marketing development and product refinement to find the right storyboard for each customer application, and refine marketing to ensure value attainment after the product is released.
  • Instant, impromptu collaboration through MS Teams
  • Remote and hybrid event hosting, with pre-created templates
  • Easy visibility to next actions
  • Table management -- very difficult to make this look good; we end up just pasting as picture from Excel
  • Calendar keeping - as a table - difficult to keep rows & columns aligned; also always run out of columns and need to add new tables, then to line up properly... it's clunky
  • Repeatedly "lock" doesn't work with enough people on, with internet issues, & large tables
  • Need a better universal Undo -- can this be broken out into components? I.e. each large component (i.e. table) to have a submenu of recent changes
  • Minor point, it's too easy to add arrows where you don't intend to.
  • The interface is getting dated quick; I like the more natural feel of Whiteboard by Frameable
  • I need better scheduling capability > actually make tasks relatable -- currently it's impossible to see when a task is delayed how much impact that has on final deliverable without a lot of manual sticky moving.
Miro is well suited for workshops, for scoping out projects, for following and tracking daily actions spanning across days & weeks. It's a great tool for managing a burndown backlog as well as coordinating Sprints for project milestone deliverables. This needs to be tailored for either sub projects or components in a larger development.

Miro is a highly productive tool that is a combination of built-in worksheets, templates, and customized boards. It is precisely integrated with AI and can generate presentable diagrams and slides with a single prompt. Its research is quite reliable up to our work domain which we have used and tested.
  • Collaboration tools with a dashboard
  • AI slides and diagrams generation
  • Huge built-in library of templates for day-to-day corporate and collaboration
  • Integration with some animation services
  • Exportable formats for Microsoft Office are missing
  • Readily available diagrams that are quite simple to use
Miro AI services with presentation and professional diagram generation are found to be the best in the market. After a proper subscription, exportable presentation is available in printable and high resolution. Also, smart diagrams for workflow and dashboard generations are unlocked. On Miroverse, there are thousands of people and templates ready to use and collaborate with the teams.

Creating roadmaps that can be seen across our team. Also use to develop maps for individual projects. I use Miro because I'm able to merge text and images and zoom in and out during a presentation to talk the team through the project.
  • Provide an area to capture a large amount of information that is easily navigable. Zoom in and out.
  • Process flows
  • Exporting all or part of the Miro page easily
  • Could use more text formatting options
  • More versatile tabular options in the Diagramming shapes. I'd like to be able to add rows and columns on the fly, and have more control of the design.
Mind mapping exercises.
Roadmaps and visual timelines.
Pulling together all of my ideas for a new project. For instance, when working on a new data integration I like to capture all the relevant data from the source and map it to the destination system and the final output. Such as BigQuery to ETL tool to Marketing Cloud Data Extension. Then from there to the finished email content. Great way to represent the process of getting the data and how it will be presented to the customer. Makes it easy to visualize and share with my teammates.

We use Miro in my organization quite a bit for everything from ideation to presentations to gathering feedback. My team uses Miro as the primary tool for product approvals for all of our licensed businesses. We use it for things like line architecture review, design review, prototype review, sample review, etc.
  • Helps you visually organize lots of content
  • Allows lots of users to collaborate
  • Is accessible anywhere that you have internet access
  • Enhanced functionality of tables
  • More fonts
  • Frame organization (e.g. ability to rename them according to the order they are in, better snap to grid functionality, etc.)
  • Ability to insert files as an icon instead of a preview (e.g. Excel files)
  • Ability to change the color of icons
  • Better capabilities to organize boards within a team
Miro is well suited when you need to organize lots of content, when you have many collaborators, when you want to have links to other things, when you want to be able to
zoom out to see all of your content at once (can’t do this in PowerPoint), or when you want to brainstorm.

  • the amount of space available in a single project that allows us to zoom in and out to different aspects of the same project.
  • opportunities for collaboration for team members in different geographical locations.
  • ample opportunities for visual complexity
  • the UI for the various features is not intuitive for folks who have never used miro before, so if you're leading an exercise with a team - a considerable amount of training is needed first.

Miro is an excellent tool for team collaboration and teamwork in remote areas. Miro provides a visual workspace for innovation that enables distributed teams of any size to share ideas and collaborate on projects in real-time. It's easy to implement for brainstorming onboarding meetings through just the drag-and-drop with not much hassle. The visual whiteboard platform seamlessly integrates with our workflow, offering many unique needs for my team members. Also, Miro has sticky notes, which I like a lot. I mainly use them for brainstorming—engagement options like voting, reactions with funny emojis, and chats for my team members.
  • Great UI for planning and mind mapping.
  • Enhance collaboration in remote areas.
  • Sticky notes.
  • Brainstorming.
  • Seamless integrations with tools like Zoom and Slack.
  • Unmatched customer support.
  • It's really hard to point a dislike as Miro makes sure everything is working in the right way.
I love that Miro is very user-friendly, easy to use, and easy for new users. As a Miro user, I like the customer support, which is very user-friendly and excellent. The UI is intuitive and straightforward, allowing real-time collaboration and mind mapping. It's an excellent tool for remote team collaboration and communication.

I use Miro for everything. My team does consulting work and leverages it within each project we run. It’s critical for: alignment during project kickoff, sharing ideas throughout, journey mapping, synthesis, ideation, workshops, and project retrospective meetings. It’s been a game changer for virtual and hybrid work, allowing virtual users to be connected to the work and have ability to provide quick input.
  • Templates
  • Small features like timers
  • Incorporate fun
  • Usability
  • Organization (board archival)
  • Promotion of new features
  • Enhances SSO sign on
The maximum return for Miro is when hosting a large group of remote or virtual people for some event to gain alignment and common ground through hearing voices from all. Typically, these meetings only allow for the strongest voices to be heard, but Miro allows interactions that need not be voiced, but visualized (in the moment or after the meeting) to allow for challenging thoughts and sparking new ideas.

We use Miro for brainstorming, virtual collaboration, and running design sprints. It gives us a way to collaborate and have a single shared view of all of our notes.
  • Note capturing.
  • Virtual collaboration.
  • Simultaneous/parallel content creation.
  • Prebuilt templates.
  • Additional features that would allow us to do initial designs in Miro.
  • More variety of prebuilt templates.
Miro is a great product. If a team only needs to brainstorm and whiteboard, this would be my go-to recommendation. If a team also needs to create digital designs, this is where it depends on whether I'd recommend Miro or something else. For example, if a team already uses Figma for designing prototypes, then Figjam is likely a better product for that team since everything remains in one platform. However, if a team is using design software other than Figma, I recommend Miro without hesitation. Overall, the product capabilities seem to be very similar between Miro, Mural, and Figjam. Based on my needs, it comes down to how the tool integrates into the rest of our design creation system.

I use Miro for two things; holding remote workshops so everyone can leave post its and also as a workspace for myself as I go through the design process (journey maps, service blueprints, screen flows, etc.) to collect everything in one area everyone can access, leave notes, reference, check in.
  • Provides elements you can interact with easily
  • Everyone can check in on their own
  • Searching in a page is easy
  • ALWAYS UPDATING/ BUFFERING!
  • Never know how large to make things like you have a shape but then it is huge and you need to make the text huge every time
  • Not a lot of good templates
Its hard to save things to the board and take things from the board, like exporting is hard. If you put an image on the board it kind of just lives there forever, you're not going to use the exports for anything important. Miro is great for bringing people together to collaborate. People don't need a lot of knowledge.

Miro is used in MANY ways. I personally use it for everything from process diagramming to brainstorming solutions, conducting team retrospectives, project chartering, workshops, and many more. It solves the problem of being able to whiteboard remotely, while also containing so many more robust features and templates that other similar products don't have.
  • Exceptional templates help me get started quickly with almost any type of whiteboarding, creating consistency where needed and extreme variety when also needed.
  • Having multiple active users on the same board happens so smoothly. It's easy to get people on the board and updating objects simultaneously without weird conflicts is amazing.
  • The amount of objects & tools Miro provides allows us to create very specific and detailed artifacts.
  • Granting access to boards can be a little confusing, sometimes it doesn't seem to work. Maybe it's because multiple ways to share the board create confusion.
Miro is particularly good at scenarios where multiple board collaborators are needed at a time and where more complex whiteboarding is needed. I can't think of any situations where it is less appropriate unless one considers situations where a simple whiteboard is integrated directly with another application, such as Jira.

I use Miro primarily for workflows and documentation, especially when we want to have other team members collaborate on a particular document. The primary business problem the product addresses is a collaborative and design-heavy tool to bring team members together to solve business brainstorming sessions, design low fidelity mock up, etc.
  • Workflow design
  • Collaboration with other team members
  • templates
Miro for me, is one of the best visual workspace tools I have used in the past years. Miro is best suited for anything a company would need, while allowing for some of the best collaboration features. Their sticky note feature is great for collaboration between members and their templates are one of the best I have used.
