Miro's proven to be a flexible tool to be used for multi-purpose collaborations, concept meetings, private annotations, brainstorming workshops.

They keep introducing small incremental updates, thereby extending the feature set with useful improvements to their product, while keeping the user experience stable (so no annoying moments where you need to look for everything you thought you knew if you haven't used the tool for a while...). I really liked for example the 'meeting-style screensharing functionality to draw the focus to what's relevant and the option to hide and reveal content on the appropriate time.

The real time collaboration with no delay or sync issues is really a game changer, no need to wait for the input of your colleagues or clients to appear, as is often the case with other collaboration tools.

I personally stick to the browser version so can't judge for real, but I do hear some colleagues struggling with the desktop version, it seems to be slower in starting up or accessing a certain canvas compared navigating to your canvas in the browser version.

A point for improvement (and I hope the Miro developers get to read this) is the switch between the navigation mode versus the edit or select mode. It's easy to overlook what mode your in and thus some user might accidentally drag or move components or entire frames out of the way, causing some disturbance in the collaboration session.

Just give it a try, you'll find out quick enough if it's what you need. no harm done in trying.

It allows us to quickly capture the essence of a discussion/idea/concept without much preparation. We're doing content workshops, retrospectives, partner evaluation, process reviews, all using the same simple toolset.

Paste image and we can add post-it or comments.

User story mapping is also useful!

In case of presentation, I need pointer.

In COVID-19 situation, we could made high performance collaboration remotely!

Wider field than google jamboard is the benefit.

Miro is the best remote project facilitation experience I have ever used. I consider the platform to be essential to anyone who is seeking a path to sustainable relevance. The platform has been instrumental for our team to remain productive and connected during these unprecedented times.

More templates would be nice, specifically for phase gate facilitation workshops.

No problems at the moment. The benefits are the connectivity and intuitiveness of the platform. Two thumbs up!

Miro is not only a temporary tool whilst we work virtually. It helps teams whiteboard and collaborate but most importantly unlike a whiteboard, it saves all discussions! I love how interactive it is and how its helped tenfold in promoting team collaboration.

There are not many dislikes to Miro. One thing that could be improved is the video conferencing, but this tool isnt primarily for that, which is why its not a concern to a daily Miro user like myself. One other thing is their integration with Rally isnt as advanced as its integration to Jira for example. Which i understand as Rally isnt as popular, but would love to see improvements in that aspect to.

Team building, Work problem solving, discussing new projects and conducting agile ceremonies such as Retrospectives are ways i use miro. All other tools i have used have been too clunky and doesnt promote team collaboration like Miro does

Fantastic way to collaborate, have virtual workshops with large groups of people. I don't think there is a limit to the number of participants on the board which was great. The templates were wonderful and helpful, got us started really quickly. Easy to share where you're looking at just by clicking the user icons. You can add easily add photos / diagrams - which you could edit though. Teams could quickly organize their thoughts and group them into categories.

When u have shapes, ie. boards to add sticky notes on - when you try to move objects around, it tends to drag the wrong area if u miss click. Also, similar challenges when trying to reorganize the sections on the board. We couldn't duplicate areas / ideas easily - we had to click multiple items, then try to copy and paste and it then drag it. Quite inconvenient when we were trying to group ideas from one category to the next. Would have been great if we could vote on ideas easily. Also another wonderful feature would be if we can export the ideas into a file by categories. I'd love if there was a way that helpful tips and tricks could be shared further as we are using the boards for various different type of activities. What could be really cool would be to also include a few ice breaker games or challenges on the board to get teams engaged on the board as well.

Definitely have started encouraging my colleagues to start using this tool more as it's a great way to collaborate during this remote situation.

Allowed us to remote or virtually workshop efficiently especially during COVID. Team was able to collaborate, feel connected and included in the discussion and brainstorming sessions.

Simple and intuitive interface, easy to follow

limits imposed on non enterprise version

Very useful tool for PI planning...highly recommended....full potential can be seen in enterprise edition where you get plugins to integrate with JIRA tool as well....very simple and effective tool.

Very intuitive tool for PI planning activity....we got the tool just few says before starting the PI planning and everyone was so skeptical about using it at first but for our surprise the moment we started using it, we were able to use it very effectively for the PI planning.....the best part if it has all elements of physical PI planning activities available online....very very useful tool.

Beside Miro is very easy to use and my students geht fast to the stuff they need to learn, Miro is not hindering them in technical sense. It is intuitive. In my classes I can invite as many students as I wish. Cool user usage model.

Since I use Miro I was contactet several times and they asked my what I would like to see in the next release.

And.. I find new helpfull stuff each release. For this I love the Product and the Team behind it!

There i nothing I dislike so far. Just feels like a Honeymoon.

I have a canvas i can provide a training and learning enviroment for my students. they can leadn and share ideas togehter in a cooperative way. it is open to other data sources and i can connect to jira and other tools.

i can design trainings rooms for each client and i can protect the content.

I love that I can sketch the basics of a project management board or resource tool and that the designer on our team can update it to make it engaging, fun and playful--Miro offers a great blend of "art & science" for our team. For example, we use the voting tool, frames and embedded links to create a self-guided coaching resource that feels almost like a board game into Miro that follows a retro 80s theme--we even included a YouTube link to play 80s music while you use the tool. In this era of being online so much, there are lots of ways to make engaging in our tools through Miro more fun and helpful.

We work with a lot of groups so I wish there was an easier way to do polls other than voting. I wish there was a poll feature tied to the chart and graph feature. I'd love to be able to have interactive button that populate a table with integers and then update a graph. I also wish there was an easier way to share templates of Miro boards with those outside our team. Perhaps this is a pay wall issue, but it would actually help us get Miro into more people's hands.

Google docs are prolific in our organization, but they assume a linear process flow and are limited in terms of expressing holistic concepts as well as creativity. We get feedback from our users that when we advertise new features via Instagram, going to Google Docs to use a coaching tool feels like a sharp right turn. Through Miro, I'm able to embed all the resources that I would in a Google doc like links to websites, PDFs and other tools but I'm able to express the coaching journey as a journey. Also, feedback through post-it notes and other features make interacting with our tools much easier.

I love the ease of use of Miro. We use Miro for online workshops during quarantine and forced work from home situations and onboarding of other people is always instant, It is also really good to see how quickly MIro gets meaningful updates that are very much reflective of what me and my colleagues feel like should have been adressed. The absolute game changer is the feature to invite non-members to a board which has proven crucial for big UX/CX workshops that we had to abruptly move to online. I feel very confident that we will keep using Miro way after the whole covid crisis ends - it has just became embeded in our workflow.

There are only few things, such us a bit confusing team management - it has happened to us, that one of my colleagues invited another member of our company and without any warning our subsrcibtion was upgraded to higher version. There is an option to change this behavior but it is off by default. We have also found ocasional problems with Safari browser, but they've been usually figured out very quickly.

We use Miro to upgrade our workflow in my product/ux department all the time, a lot of my colleagues are visual thinkers so Miro was incredibly helpful to help us cooperate even if we are all stranded in our own homes. Miro is so useful also for quick outline of ideas or even quick wireframing. As our country went to lockdown and my company was forced to start limit the amount of customers in stores - we used Miro to coordinate development of an app to help us with such thing and we were able to deploy it within 4 days.

I love how it's a platform where group works can be done easily on, especially during these tough times due to the pandemic. The features that are on Miro are very helpful, such as being able to create maps and graphs that help with brainstorming, as well as the post it notes that can allow for quick ideas to be jotted down. I also personally like the feature that shows any changes that have been done on Miro when i log on again. This helps me keep track of who has done what. Additionally, Miro is a very broad platform which means not can I only use it for my studio classes but I can also use it for my management classes. Overall, I would very likely recommend it to anyone and everyone.

It can sometimes take longer than usual to load the page.

One aspect that can be improved is being able to download a board as I like using my work throughout my presentations, and when I screenshot my work off Miro the quality gets distorted and is not as clear as i would like it to be.

I would advise people to utilize every feature that Miro offers.

As a design management student, doing online courses hasn't been the smoothest. Miro has been an extremely beneficial platform for my studio classes.

Miro has enabled me and many other students in my field to get more creative and involved in group projects. I have used it almost everyday since I started using it.
