The current limitations hinder creativity and design flexibility on the platform.

it is largely a very easy to use product, but can sometimes be frustrating when someone bumps an object unintentionally.

There are times when something happens to the visibility of the Miro board and I am unable to fix. It can be very sensitive when editing and sometimes pulls down what was already in place. It would be nice if I could save the Miro where it's at so that there is not an option to mess up any of the template. The formatting also can be a little bit strange at times.

I find Miro exceptionally easy to use. The fact that coworkers use it without any explanation or training speaks to this.
The only thing I sometimes find tricky is that when I try to select a group of say post it notes using by selecting a large area, it sometimes pulls background frames etc. I believe this is just because I have not looked into the proper way to handle this in Miro.

It's pretty easy and intuitive to use. There are some things that need to be learned like the icons and where certain things are. How the items on the top right, vs top left, vs left side are laid out feels sort of random. I feel like they could be condensed or better displayed?

Overall, I appreciate the way that the UI is put together and the frequency in which it is changes based on User Experience and feedback. However, there is one thing that I don't like that impacts my productivity. It is the way that you select objects in the board while you click and drag the mouse over them. In many other tools I use, you can only select an object if you drag the mouse over the entire object. However, in Miro, you only need to go over a portion of the object to be selected. At the beginning, I though it would help, but I find myself selecting more than I need to when I am trying to select a smaller object inside a bigger one. I drag over the smaller objects to select them, but I end up selecting everything else on the path of the mouse. This forces me to shift-click all the undesired objects. Very annoying.

Dragging with the right click button compared to the standard left click takes some getting used to.

Everything is laid out very easily in the site. The sticky notes are obvious, as well as text boxes and other features due to the shapes of the icons, and descriptions when you hover over the boxes or that are stated right there in the title for the feature. I have introduced Miro to newcomers on my team and they pick it up in a matter of hours.

I find it extremely intuitive and easy to use. I have had no formal training, but I feel like I have just scratched the surface in terms of functionality even after using it for a few years. You can do so much in Miro quickly with a very small learning curve.

The product is very intuitive and easy to use. I did not needed any get started guide other than the context-sensitive user guiding provided in app.
I create boards and usually share with other users for collaborations so all they need to do is use the sticky notes and write texts. For new users they might need some guidance on how to duplicate or delete but I´d say guidance is minimal.

A clean and user-friendly interface contributes to better usability. Users should be able to find and use tools without unnecessary complications. A platform with a smoother onboarding process and easy-to-understand features can enhance usability.

I find Miro overall very easy to use.
Having a large variety of templates for so many different use cases, allows you to start working immediately, without too much effort. And if a template doesn't completely fulfill your needs, you can easily customize it. And then comes another great aspect, that you can create your own templates and share them with other teams.

It makes a lot of sense, but does take some time if you're coming in from more "traditional" work tools, like Powerpoint. Once you understand the mental model and setup it is pretty intuitive, and relatively flexible to create the type of work you want.

I'd rate Miro's overall usability at a stellar 8. The platform's intuitive design facilitates seamless collaboration and creative workflows. The user-friendly interface and versatile tools enhance productivity. However, there's always room for improvement, and an 8 reflects a positive experience with a slight potential for further optimization.

As someone who is not familiar with Mac products, particularly Photoshop, I needed to learn how to move elements around the board before it became very usable for me. This happened quickly but I think a note that familiarity with with this system of interaction with tech might be useful to users like me.
