Reviews
(1-25 of 2429)Great tool for product and user flow planning
- 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
I also like to use it for brainstorming, when everyone can access and put their notes on a shared board.
It could be enhanced in that sense and allow more collaborative options such as voting
Miro for design thinkers
- 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
It's not quite yet fully supportive of interactive prototypes though, that's the direction I'd like to see it go. Something akin to Adobe XD's capabilities in that space.
Miro works to put your mind on screen and build a plan!
- 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
How Miro helps me be a better designer
- Offer unlimited space on their boards
- Enables colaborative work
- Provides conversion of content to other formats
- It keeps dislogging from time to time and relogging on is time consuming
- Large boards take a long time to load
- The drawing of shapes is quite limited
Miro - A great tool to bring together a company
- Organization
- Templates
- Collaboration
- Different Shapes
- Saving Brand Colors
- Deleting out presaved colors
Miro & Me
- There is a wonderful variety of template layouts relevant to project needs
- Project access and organization are paramount to ensuring the right people see the right things
- Miro promotes both real-time engagement and updates to make sure people in other time zones can access the most updated information
- If the organization has boards divided up by department, it can be confusing to know where to put a new board/how to make sure it winds up in the correct place for teammates to access based on their permissions
- In some cases, users may not understand the best template to use to meet their needs. For example, I used the mind-map template frequently, but a colleague had no clue how to use it and felt there was no hint or "pro-tip" on how they could benefit from using it.
- This is purely aesthetic, but if more colors could be implemented into things like the sticky notes, that would be great. Sometimes, there were more people working on a project than there were colors available to differentiate between who was sticking what feedback in the project.
Miro Review
- Its the only tool that my organization permits (that does what it needs to do)
- Somewhat-simple interface
- Infinite "space"
- AI - "delete background" tools work well for sketch uploads
- Sticky notes
- Video formats not supported
- Multi-uploads not supported
- Sketching directly in Miro is horrible (ie "Pen" tools are basically useless). Look to Procreate for a better experience
- Connection lines default to snap to image - very annoying!
- Zoom/ Pan hotkeys could be more obvious (for novice users)
Not well Suited - Manually creating timelines. Grouping, aligning and moving objects feels clunky. Also not well suited for scenarios when sharing many LARGE images - it tends to slow down my entire computer when I open a Miro with too much content.
Why Miro Board in Staffing?
- Has a lot of options when creating the board.
- Once you get the hang of it, it is easy to use.
- Giving people access is easy to do as well.
- I think being able to edit the board is easier and not having to switch to the cursor on the board every time you want to move across it.
- Sometimes the board randomly gets messed up, and I'm not sure why.
User Review
- Idea flows
- house multiple forms of content
- organize thoughts
- templates that are more excel-like
Miro magic
- Zoom in and out
- Enable easy remote collaboration
- Present information in an endless array of formats
- Greater level of zoom in and out for increasingly massive boards!
- Memory management when working on huge files
- The ability to output large files at a very high resolution, in multiple output formats
- The level of controls available around shapes, typography etc. to enable more highly crafted outputs
- AI integrations (generative AI image creation tools)
Start Using Miro
- Saving files in multiple ways
- Available at anytime
- All the wonderful extra working tools features
- Can be accessed online and through the app
- Every board is to be saved automatically into the user's main computer
- Privacy feature to prevent other students from viewing the Miro board
- To let professors in the education sector know who has done what documents
Better than the biggest whiteboard
- Kanban project management
- Planning and scheduling
- Shared board for Zoom brainstorming workshops
- Sticky notes only have two available fonts--please enable more fonts
- Interface can still be fiddly when trying to select particular items within a frame, instead of selecting the frame.
- Being able to easily cut and paste boards from one project to another would be very handy
- Collaboration: Allows us to invite team members to perform edits on the same board.
- Flowchart view helps us in seeing the big picture & removing the redundancies.
- When we get a good number of boards, we can easily filter them based on who owns them or arrange them chronologically or alphabetically.
- The cloud data storage policies might be an issue for some locales as it stores everything that's created in boards.
- Both starter & the business plan come with a subscription cost.
- No offline mode, it requires an active internet connection.
It's not suitable for people who want to work in offline mode because Miro requires constant internet connectivity.
Miro is our hero!
- Granular settings - board style (dots/squares) and snap-to-grid options are particularly useful when drawing highly detailed diagrams.
- Copying and Pasting Excel into Miro as sticky notes or a table is extremely time-saving!
- The ability to add brand colors helps us stay on brand and draw up presentation slides more efficiently.
- Auto-size a table based on the amount of text instead of having to manually change the height and width, similar to auto-height and auto-width in Excel.
- Increase the number of brand colors you can set.
- Customizable sticky note colors.
Great product, mostly very happy with it!
- Managing teams and projects
- Backing up boards and being able to load them again
- Clicking something once to be able to edit it, and not having to mark the entire text in a sticky note to overwrite it
- Aligning and ordering items
- Shortcuts and generating new objects quickly
- User template library
- Reward users for contributing templates
- Sometimes when you click on the wrong area of a sticky note, an arrow is drawn - it happens more often than I'd like and is a bit annoying. Maybe make drawing an arrow a little more difficult?
- Bring back the consultant accounts
- Didn't like having my account upgraded to Business when Consultant was pulled, which I'd not asked for, with a "25% discount" that just meant I didn't pay more and wasn't transferable after a downgrade, then being offered to "save 50%" when downgrading and then finding out that I wasn't saving any money, I was just paying less because I was downgrading and not actually getting savings. Terrible communication, very few choices, and then also getting emails saying my renewal was still at the Business price despite having downgraded, and your customer service agents asking me questions they should know the answer to, talking down to me and copy-pasting bits of text that were contradictory. Glad I'll be getting a voucher for filling this in because by now I definitely deserve one ;)
- Having a warning if a board gets "too full" - I've found them getting a bit unresponsive, and I've lost some content because of that (nothing major, but a bit annoying)
I can't imagine a world where I work without Miro
I can't imagine a world working without Miro. Miro has brough so much productivity and synergy to our organisation and team.
- Meeting facilitation support
- Brainstorming ideas
- Prensenting and aligning ideas and strategies
- Flashing out dependences
- wireframing
- It's really good, and I can't think of any areas for improvement at the moment.
- running meetings
- writing notes for customer interviews
- doing research synthesis
- brainstorming ideas
- flashing out dependences
- doing solution architectual design
- low fidelity wireframe design
Not suited for:
- high fidelity solution prototyping
- High level client presentations
- Writing complex documents
Miro still the best ideation and collaboration tool
Meeting and workshop facilitation and capture, we use custom templates for rapid session set up and consistency..
We will occasionally use Miro to collaborate on low fidelity wireframing
Some projects across different time zones will use Miro for a-synchronous collaboration
- Low floor for basic functionality for new users
- Progressive features and discoverability
- Lots of useful integrations
- AI features aren’t something I’m happy to rely on heavily yet
- Very very large boards will occasionally hang and not let you interact with them
- I’ve had issues with SSO sign in recently, but sure if that’s Miro or Microsoft
Cornerstone of Remote UX Team
- loads fast
- flexible for nearly any need
- supports the way I think (non-linear)
- collaborative work space - can support independent and collective work
- search within boards (make this included with standard subscription)
- some boards get heavy with thousands of elements - put some more horsepower behind those boards
- maybe have a 'select these elements and export them to a 'child' board' to free up space
- allow for easier navigation between boards that are linked
- have a 'meta' organizer - where you could create a map of boards that are not just a linear list
- maybe a replay board - where you watch someone else build a board at 10 or 20x speed
- Team collaboration.
- Facilitate communication.
- It's easy to get started with Miro.
- Unmatched customer support.
- Intuitive UI.
- Better user flows and roadmaps.
- Miro is an excellent whiteboard platform that we highly rely during collaboration and communication of my team. But at times it's very difficult to manage board access for users who are not among your team members.
Powering Collaboration Success
- Mind mapping ideas and user workflows
- inter and cross team collaboration
- a place to quick capture ideas in a central place
- The user management , in particular who has access to which board is not easy to see
- Templates aren't very easy to edit. Say I want to use some elements or customise a template. You can't always do that
- Easier way to quickly add a thumbs up or "+1" or other type of emoji. This would be useful during retros for example
A powerful tool for planning and collaboration
1. brainstorming templates
2. Roadmaps
3. Planning sprint, months and quarters
4. Identifying right stakeholder and mapping them to specific workstreams
5. Collating market and competitor research
6. creating workflows of a project, what will be required, who would do what, what would be the timelines and so on. Essentially, end to end planning of a project in a detailed way.
- Proving various ready to made templates
- Some cool collaboration features like timer, following person who is sharing screen
- A very simplified voting feature
- Easy to share and collaborating space
- More templates can be added
- Help in creating some process flows and AI features to categorise content automatically
- Templates based on users job title and reminders if anything is missing
- Built in intelligence using AI to suggest what else can be part of a Miro workboard
However, Miro is not very great when it comes to presentations to senior stakeholders, for that, the best possible tool historically has been presentations and continue to be.
If you see something, say something.
- User Story Mapping
- Quick Retrospective
- Product Roadmap
- Mind Map
- IM - Include Slack or Teams to real interact
- Simple /Import NewTemplates
- Prototype Option
I like Miro
- Visual thinking
- Automated affinity sorting through tagging
- Realtime collaboration
- Support for more file formats
- Video support
- simpler user permissions
Individual working and exploring concepts "spatially"
replicating real-world workshops in hybrid contexts
Miro is ACE!!!
- Fast process mapping
- Collaboration remotely with many people
- Capture thinking in a graphical way
- Frames being slightly harder to move accidentally. I know we can lock them but new users often accidentally move them if we have forgot to lock them. So maybe make it harder for visitors to move frames.
- i sometimes want to add a document icon with a link to a document and a title beneath the document icon. I can do that by adding a separate text box but it isnt quite the slick option I hope for.
- I would also like more of the icon to which I have added a link to be selectable rather than having to go to the top right corner. (I know this is minor but they are tiny niggles!!)
brainstorming.
process mapping.
Miro is the hybrid office saviour
- Offers great control functions to facilitators through 'bring everyone to me'
- Offers a great range of shape and iconography to permit the design of a broad range of maps
- Being in the cloud, does well permitting sharing boards for async collaboration
- Inexperienced Miro users find it quite difficult to navigate a board.
- Lines may get fixed on to an object when they're not physically attached resulting in moving the shape and skewing the line.
- I'd like to be able to highlight and group clusters of objects together more easily, similar to PowerPoint.
Where a stakeholder needs to contribute to a brainstorming session or for remote collaboration during workshops and training sessions.
Less Appropriate:
Formal documents that are text heavy (word is still king here), graphic design (Canva or photoshop are better), formal presentations (powerpoint is the leader), presenting or conducting data analysis (excel)
