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.

As I work with customer experience, my demands are centered on analyzing customer behavior. Construction and analysis of journeys, ideation of new journeys, investigation and consolidation on a board for presentation, brainstorms to find new solutions, construction of personas, guided presentations. Demands that require a visual and interactive solution, Miro is the perfect tool.

Miro is great for group collaboration on creative and strategic initiatives. Creating journey maps or comms journeys is super easy using Miro’s functionalities. I find more formal presentations more challenging on Miro, as many folks are not familiar with the tool and it can be hard to focus their attention during the session.

Miro is a great tool for Design Sprints with virtual team members, scoping new projects, Brainstorm exercises, getting feedback on prototypes and independent process mapping. Miro is not as well suited for real-time process flow creation due to how the table feature reacts to objects when placed within a cell.

Miro is perfect if you need to either present an idea, or workshop ways of getting to alignment. It's pretty magic for all of that.

Miro is less perfect than FigJam if you're just interrogating a Figma UI and you want to make direct edits.

I'd recommend it for brainstorming and ideation, visual collaboration and mind mapping across teams based in different locations. I haven't seen the tool adopted for project management. It has capabilities for planning and tracking projects, assigning tasks, and managing workflows but I have never seen Miro utilized for those purposes in our company.

I think Miro is well suited for any application where information can be visualized (except cases where excel charts are better, but those can be dropped into Miro too). I think it is great for planning out projects and tasks. It is a very flexible tool, and I'm sure there is a useful way to use it in just about any application.

Recommended for group participation. The real-time collaboration feature is the most enjoyable aspect of groups. It's especially nice that you can turn off other users cursors and lock elements of the board.
I would not use it as an individual trying to capture notes.

When your team is distributed, it is a godsend. If your team is generally comfortable with technology and/or willing to learn a new platform, it's easy to learn how to use Miro for those who are comfortable and willing. If you have a lot of people who think visually -- or who think DIFFERENTLY (from one another), it's a great tool. The ability to interpret the same information in a few different forms can save a lot of time in making sure everyone is on the same page.

If team members are not game to learn new tech, it's a harder sell. There IS a learning curve, but it's VERY figure-outable. The willingness has to be there, though.

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.

While there are amazing visualizations around thought processes, there is a lot of concern about the security of the product and we are discouraged from keeping information within the application for too long in order to be secure. I know several other applications are attempting to use a whiteboard function (Aha, Jira) and those particular ones are more suited to the secure nature of our work.

Miro is super well-suited for collaborative workships with your colleagues or external teams. It helps everyone share ideas, and you can make it visually stimulating/engaging which is a nice rarity when working digitally/remotely. You can create a lot of basic design templates within Miro and really kickstart foundations within meetings to then take to other applications for further development. You can all edit each other's notes which is slightly difficult.

For all my feedback, Miro is a great tool for collaboration, virtual whiteboarding, mindmapping, brainstorming, ideation session facilitation... it does a lot well and do and will happily recommend it. My team is big fans, but others who aren't familiar with it sometimes get frustrated or intimidated by it. So where it sometimes is less appropriate is when I have a diverse or large audience who isn't familiar. They don't like or easily get the typing, moving, orgnaizing, locking and other funcionalities and sometimes the tool gets in the way of the objective. in these cases I will try for an in-person whiteboarding session.

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

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.

Group brainstorming it has been very useful to see group ideas and then organize them in a shared virtual space.
It is also helpful for mapping out processes to help others on the team visualize a new process.
It has also been helpful to track team progress towards goals and to document where we are stuck and if we have any additional to-dos that we are getting hung-up on.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
