I use Miro to sketch Product flow, User flow, and UI/UX of our product. I like to visualize for my developers how our product should behave and function based on requirements. I use it on a weekly basis, either iterating the sketches or referring to them in our different product documents.
  • 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
It's suited to visually represent user flows and product UI/UX. I like how realistic it could look when I visualize a product interface.
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

We do a lot of collaborative creative work - web page wireframes, design thinking activities, usability research note-taking, and design sprint planning. We also have considered it for project management using Kanban but decided to use other tools for that.
  • 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
Miro is a great tool for group collaboration and design thinking activities. It's also a wonderful tool for wireframing and prototyping.

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.

I use Miro daily to break down business processes in unison with the agile work-stream. Some coworkers are visual learners, by using Miro, I am able to document outcomes, tasks and to-dos via result chains using Miro. Miro allows me to simplify the process of ironing out work to be done, and providing a visual representation of the process for both review and publication.

Before Miro, I used a pen and paper, now I am able to document the way I think, or work with co-workers, and document they way they think visually. The tool is valuable, and work-life is made simpler using Miro.
  • 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
We document "quarter at a glance" using Miro. Whether you use Miro or not, working with an experienced Miro user can simplify the process and allow you to document your thoughts on the fly easily and easily modify as needed.

My typical experience with Miro always ends with a pretty picture easily explaining what needs to do be, and the steps needed to do it. We also run "retrospectives" with Miro, and the tool makes it seamless.

We use Miro for designing chatbot conversational flows. The product addresses the need for user experience (UX) documentation to be consumed by designers, developers, managers, product owners and other business stakeholders. After a discovery process, the UX designers create the conversational flows by emulating either the interface for the company app or for WhatsApp using components drawn on Miro, combined with other elements representing the steps of the interaction, such as decisions, transference to human attendants and many more.
  • 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
It is suited for interactive activities involving the team, such as brainstorming or card sorting sessions. It is less appropriate in situations in which the content to be created or discussed is very large, because this may cause Miro to become extremely slow, impairing the agility of the work in progress.

We use Miro to help map out organizational processes and documentation. We also have used it for trainings and wireframes! Its been a great versatile tool for our company and its something that we use daily. We are able to permission out board sharing on a per role basis and its been key for organizing our boards.
  • Organization
  • Templates
  • Collaboration
  • Different Shapes
  • Saving Brand Colors
  • Deleting out presaved colors
Miro is a great tool for those wanting to map out and document company processes. They have predefined templates you can use to start but the tool is also flexible enough that you can make your own process flow fairly easily. It is great for both onboarding but also for just presenting our new ideas.

The Learning & Development team in my organization utilizes Miro for both team development and project mapping. It is almost paramount for collaboration given how global we are and how extensive our content development goes. From year-in-review activities to goal planning, it helps us see where we are both individually and collectively in our thoughts. The various non-work features, such as timers and background music also help us to feel more comfortable and relaxed while participating in said activities. Miro provided a very innovative way to lay out thoughts and perspectives whether they are built from the ground up or are pre-established notes/call-outs that can be voted on.
  • 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.
Based on the job of some departments, Miro could just be seen as clutter/an extra tool that isn't relevant to doing their job. But to those who benefit from project mapping or collaboration virtually, this tool is PARAMOUNT and I would recommend it to many teams across my organization (even though most of us utilize it anyway). Miro has inspired me to suggest it to friends and family that have similar organization strictures as mine.

I am an Industrial Designer - I use Miro to remotely share visuals with my teammates. We organize timelines, create inspiration boards, create sketch brainstorms, and general use Miro as a "War Room" for all visual content related to a specific project. Sometimes we use Miro for specific tasks like Workshops with external teams, but typically we use it to gather everything visually-related to a project in one place.
  • 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)
Best suited - Brainstorms, image gathering, sketch-gathering. Exercises within design teams. Please support MP4/ Video! We create our own custom templates for workshops. Some basic "shape building" tools like Adobe Illustrator would make it more functional as a "creation" platform.

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.

We use Miro as our board and for our stand-up meetings every day. It is how we track the jobs that we are working on and the candidates that are submitted to each job. Every one of our team members has access to the Miro board and is able to look at the Miro board to see if there are any updates throughout the day and week. We track our monthly revenue through it and when we have candidates coming off of their contracts. We are able to color code the tags to each sales representative to accurately where there needs to be more coverage on reqs.
  • 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.
Miro helps us to put all of our business in one place for our entire team to see. We have used other avenues in the past, but specifically, because we are remote and have remote team members, it helps us in the virtual sense. We usually are on a teams call, and I share my screen with the team and navigate through the board. If we ever were not in a virtual situation, it may not be as appropriate, but since we will have remote team members for an indefinite period of time in the future, I don't see us changing how we do our morning stand-ups and keeping track of our business where everyone has access.

I use Miro for my day to day organization and function. I house everything from org charts, team initiatives, client profiles, web links/descriptions, and to do tasks. I especially like that i can share it with my coworkers that i collaborate with often so they can stay up to speed on what i'm doing and who i've spoken with.
  • Idea flows
  • house multiple forms of content
  • organize thoughts
  • templates that are more excel-like
i have recommended Miro to many of my coworkers. I've shared my Miro board with them for ideas on how to structure it. I also tell me often how much it's helped me to get organized and have one-stop access to many thought streams, especially for those who are starting a new role.

For many things, but most importantly for me, to develop my ideas and thinking, and collaborate with remote teams. The ability to zoom in and out, combine different formats of material, infinitely scale boards, make notes, and easily make connections between things - makes Miro far more effective than when working in a linear format through traditional digital documents.
  • 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)
Best suited to brainstorming, ideation, strategic thinking, mapping flows and journeys etc., as well as working collaboratively with remote teams. Less appropriate for crafting high-fidelity screens, creating linear narrative outputs

As an MA student, I was introduced to the Miro platform. Ever since, I have learned how to use it and I love it. It has made working with others easier because of how reliable the platform can be for multiple users at the same time. I enjoyed working in creating documents there and it’s a great way to keep an archive available as well.
  • 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
I think Miro is a great platform to work and share with classmates and colleagues. I would recommend it to anyone. It’s easy to learn and easy to work on it.

When working with remote teams, or with flexible locations, eg. hybrid, work from home, etc, having a shared whiteboard and kanban that is always accessible to everyone on the team is invaluable.
  • 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
Miro is well suited to being a whiteboard for online workshops or online classes. It is also extremely well suited to being a Kanban management tool for teams that work in many locations. It is also quite decent as a calendar, surprisingly

In Miro, the majority of our work is focused on what we call as boards, these include mind maps, user flow diagrams, kanban charts and more. Because creating one from scratch can be difficult and time-consuming, Miro offers pre-designed templates that we can choose from right away. It's a great tool that assists us in project management.
  • 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.
Miro added support for presentations to its list of project management features. We can save time and effort by taking a little extra time when designing a board to ensure that content is placed in the appropriate frames. It enables us to generate boards, charts & presentations right away.

It's not suitable for people who want to work in offline mode because Miro requires constant internet connectivity.

We use Miro to gather project requirements. Workflow diagrams help illustrate user journeys, and the new user story feature enables us to plan our stories. Miro has been useful for building documentation by acting as a single source of truth. It is also a friendly platform for demoing solutions to stakeholders and facilitating sprint retrospectives with our dev team.
  • 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.
Miro does everything we as a company need. While there are competitors, we are yet to find anything better. Miro has helped relay information to our stakeholders; we don’t need to screen share boring documents, but instead, we can share our boards where our stakeholders can collaborate with us, making our meetings more efficient.

I don't currently use Miro in my organisation, I just use it privately and for freelance work. My organisation cannot use Miro because of security concerns. I would dearly love to use Miro in my organisation, but it has been explored and Miro has been contacted, and refused to fix the security issue that stopped my organisation from using Miro.
  • 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)
Generally I find it well suited for almost every scenario, given that participants have used Miro before. It's not the most straightforward tool to pick up immediately if you're only used to MS programmes. I've used it for workshop, mood boards / Pinterest-like activities, task tracking, brainstorming, asynchronous collaboration, you name it.

We use Miro for almost everything that requires collaboration among team members, such as running team meetings, retros, doing product discovery, brainstorming, research syntheiss, OKR alignment and so much more.

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.
Well suited for:
- 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

Ideation with mixed in person and remote teams,
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
I turn to Miro for anything where I need to get what’s in my brain out on to canvas quickly. That’s often on private boards and I’m very comfortable with the tool. For others, I recommend Miro for team collaboration, and for my design team they leverage it heavily for workshops, discovery etc

Collaborative whiteboard; meeting notes; to-do lists; brainstorming; prototype development; User testing (formative and summative)
  • 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
I use Miro everyday - it's so flexible and suited to meet most - if not all of my needs.

However

I am a non-linear thinker - and those that are linear thinkers tend to use Jira/Confluence/excel/word/etc to manage their work... (yuck)

maybe an ETL tool that allows a linear thinker to translate an excel spreadsheet into a mind map and vice versa would be helpful.

Also, exporting a bunch of post-it notes into a spreadsheet did not yield a useful result - so maybe when a user clicks 'export' a dialog asks for questions that allows a user to express/describe their intended outcome...

I just love how user-friendly and easy-to-use to use Miro is. It has been a great platform that we use company wide to collaborate and share ideas with colleagues during project management or tasks. It helps me organize my own thoughts and ideas into real-life. My team and I are able to create better user flow and roadmaps during collaboration of different projects from Miro. Overall this is just amazing and flexible tool that provides all sorts of solutions.
  • 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.
I highly recommend to any potential customers or user seeking a powerful and reliable collaborative platform for their team or business. Miro is an indispensable tool for me and my team. It has streamlined collaboration and enhanced teamwork and productivity. The customer support is also another additional advantage because they're so responsive and helpful 24/7.

We use Miro regularly to run product inceptions, bi-weekly retros, plan our demos (and capture feedback from users) and capture useful information from users. We will also use it to mind map ideas either individually or as a team. My favourite use case has been our "Learning Days" board I created that works across multiple product teams so that everyone can see what people are learning and have learnt to aid collaboration.
  • 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
Remote collaboration, it is so good for this. Makes it easy to share ideas and work together to find solutions. It makes running our retros and inception easy and fun.

I use Miro for many parts of my job including but not limited to -
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
It is really helpful for any phase of the project, right from brainstorming to market research. It’s also very helpful for mapping out thorough processes, timelines, what work is required where and who would need to do it. There are some really helpful templates in Miro which help in doing all these things. Once the project is over, Miro also helps in some cool retrospective templates.
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.

Used across the whole organization. This tool helps us to create the roadmap, brainstorm some ideas, and put together flows that assist us explains what the scenario will be. In addition, this tool is very easygoing you can create as many items as you want you one place. It's been awesome using such a powerful tool to guide our product strategy.

Miro helps me to explore and communicate ideas spatially. This introduces another set of thinking styles to independent and collaborative work. The fact that you can collaborate in a shared space is useful in hybrid working contexts. The use of tagging and other tools to support automation makes Miro more efficient than some "real world" processes and ways of working. And the introduction to templates for common tasks and processes can get you started quickly and provide inspiration for a tool/process to jump-start your thinking. The ability to use Miro as both a thinking space and a tool for communication through linear and non-linear presentation makes it the perfect tool for multidisciplinary collaboration.
  • Visual thinking
  • Automated affinity sorting through tagging
  • Realtime collaboration
  • Support for more file formats
  • Video support
  • simpler user permissions
Multidisciplinary collaboration and workshops
Individual working and exploring concepts "spatially"
replicating real-world workshops in hybrid contexts

I use it to mind map at early days if a project. Capture various thoughts, images, links information on a topic, for every initiative I do I always have a Miro board of information.<br>I use it for process mapping both alone and with teams.<br>Getting the views of many people in a workshop and using AI to organise the data.
  • 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!!)

Miro is mostly used as an async collaboration tool, pooling stakeholders together to contribute to mappings. Miro is also used for remote ideation sessions. For my use case working in Customer Experience, Miro is used to create journey maps and service blueprints that are exported to PDF and printed to physical. In my previous role, I used Miro mostly for business process mapping.
  • 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.
Well suited:
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)
