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.

Best suited when a large amount of visual data needs to be communicated. One can easily add 100s of images and it will still function pretty smoothly.

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.

Miro is very well suited all-around tool for any stage of a research project; if you need to brain-dump thoughts, ideas, images, etc on paper, this is perfect tool for that. I am currently crafting a complex survey using Miro, and I like being able to plot out questions, the ease of organising and re-organise questions if needed, anchoring questions to eachother to plot out the various flows and interactions; it's a really nice simple tool to plot out various research activities.

Miro is very well suited for presentation, anywhere I would have previously used a keynote it is a lot more efficient to use a Miro board. Collaboration is my favorite part, the commenting features and being able to have multiple people working in a Miro board at once. It might be less appropriate for more formal presentations as the scrolling from slide to slide can be off putting to some.

I'll often use Miro to capture as-is journey maps as a sequence of screenshots (or sticky notes) and then invite users and stakeholders to add notes about pain points, feelings, and thoughts, as the basis for extracting user needs and system vocabulary. I can easily arrange pain points, needs, or ideas ready for participants to vote, score and re-order them according to priority. Getting feedback on wireframes and comparing differences is easy, both live and asynchronously. Sometimes the icons and prototyping elements available in Miro are limiting and distracting.

I have appreciated it for general diagramming for systems engineering, as well as use as a general white board where I can drop content from other sources while making connections and dropping comments. It has also been useful as a dynamic and collaborative calendar for project planning. I have begun using it as a tool for fault tree analysis, but it could still use some additional organizational guard rails to make it easier to not end up with a messy diagram.

Miro works well for distributed team, where members are joining from different locations and are present in different timezones. It makes it easy to share ideas and workflows. It has all the good things needed for a whiteboarding session, but is better than a board because it is easily shareable, allows content movement and much more, while not requiring to erase content to make room for more.

Most appropriate - in tactical planning or operations. As I’ve listed before; project management, collaboration, brainstorming, innovation hubs, process mapping, technical architectures, etc etc

Less appropriate - maybe not the best for executive meetings or with showing anything to the c suite. I don’t think any of the c suite would ever use Miro, per se; though I’ve had luck using it with VP level individuals at fortune 500 companies. But again, wouldn’t use it for, say, a quarterly earnings presentation :)

Miro is best for brainstorming, hosting start/stop/continues with the whole team, keeping track of to-do lists, managing personal development, and serving as a virtual "message board" or "bulletin board" (I like encouraging my teams to add personal photos, inspiration, and personalization to their "section" of the team board so it can take the place of desk personalization when we used to be in office).

MIRO is ideal as a one-stop shop for visual diagramming. It has many uses in leading remote workshop facilitation without compromising on its beauty. It plays fairly well with others, especially if you go with the more expensive plan if you need to import and export things. I've used VISIO, lucidchart, and iGraphx extensively, and every moment I have to use those, I wish I was using MIRO.

Miro is well suited to developing business today. You can make it what you need. It allows for a variety of layouts. It is also helpful to use for remote or hybrid teams because the access can be shared. It also shows real time updates and has a decent load time.

Miro is a great tool for marketing teams to use to help scale out their entire inbound and outbound process. For us, we were able to outline each and every step for review to make sure that we weren't missing potential lead opportunities. It's also a great tool for page mockups where everyone can jump in and design together.

Miro is excellent for collaborative brainstorming, mind-mapping, the sorts of creative open-ended work which is key to the early stages of a project (and/or the initial stages of solving a complex problem).However once a particular effort has "matured" from 'planning the work' to 'working the plan', I would not necessarily use Miro; e.g., for generating official flowcharts, or for ongoing management of a Gantt chart, etc.

The best tools in these downstream contexts are niche products which incorporate context-specific constraints and guardrails.

Miro is very well suited for large companies with leadership that can be hard to track down. We can create activities and prompts in Miro that people can contribute to whenever they have free time. It seems less appropriate at times just because non-creatives aren't as comfortable with the way the toolbar is displayed.

In our current hybrid work situation and with current limitations on travel budget, Miro enables teamwork through shared boards and functions like design thinking. It's less valuable when many edits are required and/or limiting the participants to a certain amount of time to brainstorm because there's no ability to lock-down the board in mid-session.

Miro is great for a virtual meeting that requires a visual collaboration space. It is not recommended for integrating content from the native app to 3rd party applications (limited to embed, limited data cleaning)

Hard to imagine any use case where Miro is not useful at least as a starting point. In our remote context where paper is not necessarily a good option, it is the closest thing that is shareable between teammates where you can brain dump in low fidelity and arrange things into a very useful framework.

Miro is great for running team meetings, cross-functional projects or brainstorming new ideas/innovations. We leverage Miro almost weekly as a hybrid/remote team. We find that when everyone is even basically familiar with the tool it is extremely useful for facilitating discussions and providing a living visualization of ideas and topics. However, when we are running xfn projects if some members aren't equipped to leverage the tool the initial adoption can be clunky and frustrating if folks can't get access easily.
