Miro helps our teams organize and map project efforts and milestones. Teams also leverage Miro’s easy-UI for brainstorming sessions, retrospectives, and planning.
  • Easy to share/limit access - especially valuable for enterprise accounts
  • Outstanding selection of templates
  • Easy to produce/share presentations
  • Extra features like video recordings and real-time commenting
  • Sometimes the Miroverse templates are not useable- and I can’t figure out why- thinking it has something to do with enterprise subscription limitations
  • Ability to hide boards from team list - so people without access don’t even know they exist
Miro is invaluable for team retrospectives- allowing multiple ways for users to engage and express feedback.

I have been using Miro for artboard for our project. It's been very useful tool for the team to interact through notes and helps for collaborative work for whoever working remotely. The best thing Whenever people are editing or adding some stuff to the Miro board other people can watch it and give suggestions to them. It resolved many problems without wasting time on team calls for minor stuff.
  • Collaborative Work
  • Live update
  • Sends info of latest changes to the mail.
  • Easy and Compact
  • If there is a option to chat /call with the team, it would be a great addition. so we wont use other tools to get into the calls.
  • Adding screen share option would be another addition.
  • Developing a application for the Miro board so we can access the it more faster.
  • Sometimes Miro board takes time to load
Where there are large project for the game, it would be helpful to collect the more references and showcase through Miro. Along with that we put our concepts and record entire project status.

I am one of the first people using it in my organization. I'm using it as a stand in for a whiteboard on a team that is geographically dispersed across the USA. It's been a place to brainstorm, sort, consolidate, and highlight flow and connection between different aspects of an educational project. I particularly like how well it handles grouping ideas (with frames) and arrows and flow-chart links between objects. It's wonderfully quick to react to changes, and quite intuitive. The hardest part was deciding on a template to start form -- ultimately I decided none really fit, though the gallery was a good source of inspiration.
  • Showing connections between objects
  • Fast and smooth reactions to changes
  • High visual impact
  • Intuitive controls
  • Multiple editors and simultaneous work
  • The initial feel is overwhelming. I like the template gallery, but it's also quite intimidating.
  • I'm not clear about what is in scope or out of scope for the free version. I'm nervous about maxing out if I really invest time in it.
  • Education pricing! It'd be great to clarify what the benefits are of the tool for educators.
  • Diagrams can get very complicated. It'd be nice if the AI features could suggest 'clean ups' to disentangle things when it gets messy.
Pro: Work that is hybrid and geographically distributed. Visualizing, brainstorming, sorting, highlighting connection and flow. It assists creative and non-linear thinking. Con: Viewing a complex diagram through a small laptop screen is fundamentally awkward.

I'm working for a company called Regem Enterprises as a Graphic Designer . I discovered Miro from an google ad . It helps me in creating flowchat and diagrams for company clients, it is easier to create ,just drag and drop and its done. It saves my time alot (Better than Canva). Clients are also impressed after seeing those creative charts and diagram . The AI feature is just mind blowing ,sometimes i am not getting a proper framework or design for my work, Miro AI came forward to handle the situation. I loved the platform alot .Thanks for being there in crucial situations.
  • AI feature of Miro i like the most , creation and developing things with accuracy is top notch.
  • Interface is very user friendly , easy to learn , easy to deploy , easy to access
  • Categories are well managed in the platform
  • Some icons are very dim in color and contract ,they should be bold .
  • I think chat bot should be added for asking any query or problem , there is help option but chatbot should be there in front like pop-up chat bots.
  • Starter plan pricing should be more low like 4$ or 5$
Most of the time while meeting through clients , u need to make some flow chats or ppt for explaining the project . Miro helps in creating those things very easily and quicky , it saves lot of time . It attracts the attention of clients because of eye catchy look of chats or graph.I think people should know Miro more instead of wasting time on Canva for creating chats and graph.

I use Miro constantly in my organization to document retrospectives, plan for future work and milestones, and communicate out plans to multiple different stakeholders and multiple different levels. It's one of my favorite applications, and I'd be far less effective without it.
  • Whiteboarding
  • Collaboration with other stakeholders
  • Presentations
  • Sequence Diagrams
  • Diagrams that are primarily made in Lucid Chart
  • Better iPad support on stylus (e.g., allow the toolbar to be moved to the right hand side instead of the left. This messes up left handers a lot)
It's well suited for communicating complex information to multiple stakeholders in a more visual way rather than a block of words. It's less appropriate for things that can traditionally be done in excel docs, or for things like sequence diagrams

I mainly use Miro for data analysis post customer research studies.
  • Supports brainstorming
  • Makes it easy to navigate complex content from XFN partners
  • Supports data visualization- eg. Creating graphs, importing tables to then create images, etc
  • Very user friendly even for first time users
  • Converting content into presentation slides
  • Changing font sizes and weights in paragraphs
  • Inserting links from external documents that are intuitively clickable
Miro is the most user friendly product for research related purposes when compared to competitors (eg Figma and mural). Don’t give it’s 10 because of inability to create and export content in slide format.

I use Miro for workshops, to organize thoughts and work through problems to find solutions. I also use it to gather my own thoughts and then organize them since it is so easy to move sticky's around. In summary, the main scope would be team collaboration and a personal tool for organizing thoughts.
  • Board Navigation
  • Templates
  • Frames
  • Improve integration with Miro
Scenarios in which Miro is good is for planning, brainstorming, organizing thoughts. It is not as great for design work.

Within our organization, we use Miro for various purposes. Planning sessions, where we outline strategies and project timelines. We also use it for informal activities such as team get-togethers to share our moods and foster team bonding. Additionally, Miro is integral to our retrospective sessions, allowing us to discuss and analyze our sprint outcomes.
As a UX researcher, I use Miro primarily to visualize my research results and facilitate team collaboration around them. Miro helps to create a more interactive and engaging way to deliver insights, which is particularly important when dealing with usability tests that include numerous pictures and schemes. Traditional text-based tools like Google Docs are not as convenient for these purposes. I maintain all my research on interactive Miro boards. This enables team members to view, comment, and engage with the research findings. Miro is also instrumental for strategic deliverables, such as customer journey maps, which help in comprehending broader concepts like company strategy. These boards serve as a central hub where everyone can gather, view, and understand the company's direction and goals.
  • Enhancing collaboration - as our team is fully remote we can get together on the board and have some brainstorming session
  • Visualizing research results - I always like to create schemas, provide some pictures and prepare some massive artifacts like CJMs, Personas etc
  • Engagement and ease of use - everything is very convenient and makes it interesting and interactive for others
  • Alignment for shapes. I prefer shapes over sticky notes because i like the text to be the same size everywhere. but shapes are very hard to align and I have to do it manually
  • Tables are not really easy to use
I have already recommended Miro to my colleagues because for UX researchers it is a basic tool.
As a UX researcher, I need to present usability research results to the team. Miro allows me to create detailed boards with images, videos, and annotations. I can organize data visually, making complex insights interactive, and easy to comprehend. Plus it gives the opportunity to collaborate, as my coworkers can leave comments and their suggestions on this. We usually conduct brainstorming sessions on the same board where research deliverables are located, which enforces collaboration and gives the opportunity to share opinions and ideas, and then vote for them.
Miro can be less appropriate for some time management tasks: once I wanted to create a board where my activities were represented, but it was not very convenient

I am using it as a university professor to help students interact as a group during an asynchronous class.
  • helped me create a map to show my students how learning one skill connects to the next skill
  • help me to connect with my students even though we are never in the same place at the same time. For example, the character mix and match is a good first day of class ice breaker
  • The abstraction ladder template is a good tool for teaching my journalism students how to write vividly--using language that is concrete in some places mixed in with more abstract ideas.
  • some simple basic templates for beginners
Miro offers some fun tools for education professionals, ice-breakers, about me templates, brainstorming. It is, however, very geared toward business professionals so there are far fewer examples for teaching. The Miroverse though is great for seeing how others have adapted Miro's tools in non-business settings.

I use Miro first and foremost to get ideas out of my head and on to the canvas. It helps me visualize and work through ideas then better communicate those ideas to my teammates. I mainly use the diagramming functions but also occasionally run workshops for various user experience design projects.
  • Ideation
  • Brainstorming
  • Diagramming
  • More guided diagramming
  • Sometimes the toolbar randomly disappears
  • Image drag and drop from Google search
Miro is great for creating diagrams, brainstorming, and facilitating workshops as well as tracking work and overall proving a common sandbox to communicate ideas and play around with inspiration. It is not so good for designing anything more than extremely lo-fi prototypes, for that you would need something a bit more powerful but it's still great for collaborating in general.

Miro is a daily essential for our PO-Functional-Dev team as all the functions from process mapping to UI brainstorming is done on Miro. We have been using Miro boards for more than a year now and the ability to create boards and collaborate plus share thoughts across teams is really efficient. Our functional team loves that how easily they are able to create intuitive design through easy clicks and drag and drop and our dev team loves that we can see it all at one place so easily as it is like a product story on the boards.
  • Process Mapping
  • UI Boards
  • Boards Collaborations
  • Without permissions to create boards it is difficult to explore miro for newbies, if only there was a learning playground for existing users as well.
Suited - End to end process mapping and delivery tracking. UI and boards creation, sharing and collaboration is seamless. Love it.
Les appropriate - Since this is more of a visual representation based tool agile framework tracking are still a little far away as they are more complex. Although inclusion of Kanban boards gives an idea that this could still be done or enhanced in future.

Creating customer journey maps for new features or products. Using Miro allows stakeholders and the Product team to be on the same page for missing gaps in the customer journey and to acknowledge requests or input from the stakeholders.
  • Flexibility in design
  • Proposing various templates
  • Clean, simple look when building or interacting with screens
  • I can't really think of any. It really has met our business needs.
Definitely well suited for customer journey mapping and event storming in my opinion. We've used it mostly for these situations.

The main scope of the usage is to give and syncronic role to all participants of the groups. Personally, employoing the programm for an architecture and construction focus, it is crucial to be able to add, link, sketch and articulate all sort of ideas, from text to graphics, personal files, cloud infomation, and any quick note that is needed.
In our case (And I refer as "we", becuase the impact has always been done on collective scenarios), Miro is a tool that goes all along the process, in the different stages, from conceptual idea, desing, until further phasees such as detail, budget, schedule and tasks distribution.
  • Linking websites and showcasing the most relevant info at once. (Picture-Tittle)
  • Diversity of the sketching options
  • It provides good quality templates
  • PDF's visualisation
  • Access settings. Sharing options might be confusing
1) Team work, collective tasks or interventation where more than 1 person should intervine.
2) Schedule organisation for individua and groupal session.
3) Planner.
4) Storm ideas activities where a quick sketch, text, symbol, any graphic must be done.

As a business we use Miro to help us plan and execute all important projects. We use the tool to lay out expectations and responsibilities, track any blockers or issues, and keep track of overall progress. We also use Miro to lay out and track our goals and objectives. The simple UI allows us to easily update and follow goal progress over time.
  • Easy to learn and use
  • Has simple but effective design features
  • Allows multiple team members to use it simultaneously, encouraging collaboration
  • It could be contain more visually striking elements to help areas stand out more.
  • More interactive features like tick boxes, progress markers etc.
  • Add more charts, maps etc. to allow for more analytical use cases.
Miro is a great tool for project planning. It's less rigid and formal than many of the other planning programs and platforms available - allowing you to creatively track project progress and plan effectively. It's a less appropriate tool for data or statistical work, as it doesn't provide you with the opportunity to add numbers and statistics to the platform easily.

Miro is first and foremost a collaboration tool. I use it heavily with a number of team members to collaborate and ideate in real time. It is a great way to share thoughts, brainstorm, pull in reference images, throw together mood boards, and get real time feedback from team members without having to go through lengthy back and forth review processes over email or chat.
  • Sticky notes are fantastic and so flexible to get your thoughts down quickly.
  • I love the ability to upload a bunch of images and then easily select them all and arrange them in various automatic grids.
  • All of the stickers and symbols and emoji graphics really spice things up visually.
  • Tons of templates and layouts to get started quickly.
  • The ability to group and frame series of objects and then quickly export the entire group as an image is super helpful.
  • Easily scalable and modifiable text to create impactful titles quickly.
  • It would be great to be able to upload or have access to your system fonts, as well as the ability to use multiple fonts within a single block of text.
  • I have yet to explore the AI features as it seems there is an additional pay wall or something that my organization needs to do to unlock them. Giving access to AI features regardless of the organization or billing structure would be preferred.
  • Greater ability to reshape sticky notes. I'd like to be able to stretch them horizontally or vertically as much as I want, similar to other shapes (rectangles, circles, etc).
  • Access to the point handles of all vector shapes, including basic shapes such as rectangles and circles.
  • Simpler export to PDF options and export to Adobe Illustrator if possible. Currently it is kind of tricky to select a bunch of frames and export them as a pdf.
  • Ability to drag a selection box around multiple frames at once instead of having to shift click the name of each frame you want to select.
Miro is fantastic for most collaborative sessions and meetings with pretty much any team. It is a bit intimidating for non-design focused teams however. I also enjoy using it for more casual gatherings as well. I've played games and done live drawing on it with team members to great success. It is also a nice way to quickly get feedback on your ideas from teammates and the preset templates are set up nicely in that you can easily create flows from one area of content to the next and easily guide the viewers eye around the board. Boards can get a bit heavy and hectic over time though, so usually after a few weeks I have noticed that it can be hard to manage all of the content on a board and extraneous content can be distracting.

We utilize Miro to help us visualize our strategy. This helps us understand what processes can/have been implemented and the details. Including content pushed out, areas that need improvement and feedback from fellow team members. Miro also helps us sort our work for different project and visually present to the relevant stakeholders.
  • Help visualize marketing strategies
  • A one stop destination for all processes involved
  • Easy to read, edit and manage the board
  • Quicker response times
  • Easier login process
  • Miro tutorials
Miro can be marketers as well as specialists who prefer every detail and visual aspect to be out there. This helps understand and identify areas that need to be worked on, processes to be implemented and possible growth opportunities. You can also utilize Miro to display all strategies including details of each in one centralized location.

I often use Miro for workshops we do with our external partners, to do system mapping, adapt business canvas etc. I also use it for myself to brainstorm and plan workshops.
  • presentation frames with timer for presenter
  • call everyone to me
  • follow a particular person
  • no recording in the breakout room?
  • co-presenters not available for eudcation license when it's often required
  • it's more built for "presenting" than "collaborating"
It's ok for general use, and mostly for brainstorming and co-creating with people remotely.

It often has technical glitches... crash and really impact the workshop flow and more importantly, unable to finish on time when involving external people

It can't record breakout room sessions, hard for analysis later.

A workshop often requires at least 2 and usually 3 people to run, and the co-owner/co-presenter function is gatekeeped. Find it frustrating.

Miro is used as a whiteboard collaboration tool for all brainstorming and planning activities. From research work to project planning, there is a template for each type of activity on Miro.
  • Collaboration
  • Templates
  • Workshop facilitation features
  • Moving over images and boards
  • Sharing of channel as a whole for collaboration instead of individual boards
  • Faster loading of boards
Its a great tool for remote collaboration and workshop facilitation across teams. One can extract pdf of the board for future references as well. It cannot be used as a presentation tool very effectively as you might have to zoom in and out multiple times which can be distracting to the audience who are the meeting. Also, it can lag a bit when presenting depending on the stability of the connection.

It was used for Teamworks as an artist it was useful to share our concept and ideas during the process, everyone could see it and react about it. Also the tools were useful to organize. everything we made, moodboard, concept art, color script... so in the end it was easy to find what we wanted or share it to the teachers, and was easy to read. It's sure that I will use it for a future Teamwork.
  • Board for Teamworks
  • Organize ideas and concept
  • Navigate through the process
  • No limit of space
  • More fonts
  • The commentary fonction
  • A tool to add Border or limit to some spaces
For Teamwork or long timed work where we need to organize, share or stock a lot of data and/or pictures. Or even in more daily use where they'll need to organize things in order for more basic functions. I see it more suited for professional uses rather than domestic uses.

In my daily use cases, I use miro to prepare flow diagrams related to my development.
Miro helps me in visualise the flow, which helps me in fore see the problem.
Miro also helps in collaborate with my colleagues to draft the user flows and real time reflection of the changes.
Miro helps me with templates which I can use to create the flows, also have shapes and tools to suffice my use case
  • Collaboration with colleagues
  • Tools to speed up the creation of diagrams or flows
  • Simple UI to understand everything without any special training
  • More advanced tools can be given
  • UI would have been more simpler
  • Could have more faster, means loading time can be improved
  • more useful options can be shown outside instead of in menu
Miro is well suited when it comes to create a flow diagram
Miro is well suited if I have to present my idea to a group of people in a visual manner
Miro is well suited if I need a platform where I can find many use cases to build user flows and plans

Miro is less appropriate if I have design something for my UI

We use Miro to map customer processes like sales process, marketing process or to explain to customer how the flow of process would look like in the tools we work on like HubSpot.
  • Templates to build different processes.
  • Sticky notes to gather multiple information in one frame.
  • Easy comment & sharing access.
  • UI is quite intuitive.
  • I think automatic connecting 2 objects with arrows is something that can be improved.
  • Copy pasting elements from one tool to another
A lot of people like to have a visual representation of things - processes, flows, idea mapping, etc.

Miro is a great platform to do that. It is well suited for:

- Timeline creations
- Processes Mapping
- Visual representation of ideas
