Reviews of Miro

My experience using Miro as a creative tool
Comments: In general, I have had nothing but good things to say about Miro. It has greatly enhanced our team's ability to work together, encouraging more innovative thinking and better communication. Adaptability to different frameworks and templates meets the needs of a wide range of projects, from user story mapping to sprint planning.
Pros:
I think Miro's endless canvas is its strongest suit because it allows users to quickly and easily turn their thoughts into eye-catching visuals. The canvas is an enormous creative playground that may accommodate endless brainstorming sessions, mind mapping, and team projects.
Cons:
The learning curve for Miro's more advanced capabilities can be steep, but the app is a powerhouse for visual collaboration. You might need to go a little deeper to comprehend some of the more complex features, particularly if you're working with complicated processes or connectors.
Creates a style that sustains collaboration at every stage of the workflow
Comments: Miro created for us diverse and effective spaces that ensure continuity of collaboration, enabling us to communicate information and ideas quickly, and display and update achievements efficiently.
Pros:
Miro is easy to use, perfect for streamlining visual tracking and collaborative planning remotely. With Miro, we connect meeting inputs and organize workflow charts that are understandable to everyone. I loved the ready-made templates that provide the perfect starting point for any idea, ensuring ease of collecting inputs during them and organizing them in an attractive way. I loved the ease of adding updates at any time with documentation, and it is great that the ability to control permissions adds the necessary protection for boards from modifications and tampering.
Cons:
Miro is free of negatives, and it is impossible to slow down when adding or collecting elements.

I regret our decision to buy Miro
Comments: I was part of the team which selected Miro for one client, and I regret not fighting harder against the decision to buy it.
Pros:
Miro is a nice tool for collaborative whiteboarding and its main advantage is that it's becoming somewhat ubiquitous, which is helpful when working across multiple teams and companies, as I do.
Cons:
I consider Miro to be more of a hindrance than a help to my work, mostly because of the obstructive, slow, and "clicky" user interface.
Alternatives Considered:
MIRO FOR THE WIN
Comments: Amazing cannot sing its praise enough absolutely love it
Pros:
Such an amazing tool for diagramming, planning and just straight whiteboarding.
Cons:
Haven’t had one yet if I’m really honest
Multi-purpose supertool
Pros:
So many built in objects for creating the perfect board, with more seemingly added on a regular basis. Gets the basics right, such as basic diagrams and flowcharts - but also integrates deeply with Jira etc. Good tool for doing interesting team retrospectives.
Cons:
Organisation and discoverability of other boards or boards you've created in the past - hard to find your old work!
Miro is the perfect tool for teams working on group web pages and email workflows
Comments: Overall, Miro has been helpful in creating templates for landing pages as well as outlining our overall structure for how we want our marketing inbound workflows to work.
Pros:
Miro makes it super easy to work on team planning designs, whether it's visual charts outlining website and email workflows or designing web pages for feedback from multiple team members.
Cons:
Some of the design elements in Miro aren't all that customizable such as font selection or adjusting the border radius of shapes.
Good solution for process mapping
Comments: Miro is very useful for process mapping and all boards can be stored easily online with easy access.Also it does support multiple users to work on the same board simultaneously
Pros:
I use miro on a daily basis for process mapping by using the large variety of predefined flows and templates which are ready to use.The miro app is great for collaboration while working remotely
Cons:
Miro is a an overall good product no issues faced
Easy to use software and hardly any training needed
Comments: Miro is easy to use in terms of the visuals and can be picked up easily
Pros:
It's really helpful to use especially for floorplans as a designer I can navigate through everything to design the floorplan
Cons:
Nothing really, I like that you can see how everyone is active and what they are doing incase they change something
Miro for projects
Comments: With Miro I've been doing flowcharts an presentations about my enterprise, the quality is amazing
Pros:
Is a very intuitive platform and for doing chart is one of the most complete
Cons:
The amount of email users received when they complete the enrollment
Miro - easy to get grips with and visualise processes.
Comments: So easy to use, and visually represent processes to others.
Pros:
Miro is actually great. It's a visual board where we can map out what we do in the business so that everyone gets an understanding of how processes work. It is so easy to pick up and start creating straightaway. Assets can be freely moved around the board and edited at any time in the future.
Cons:
It's not particularly cheap, but none of the competitors are either, and it's the best value of the bunch. The value Miro brings to everyone understanding how the the organisation ticks has to be good.
Miro is the operating system for a creative distributed team
Comments: Miro fast become our essential collaboration tool to maintain creativity and innovation as we scaled across the world with people in over 20 countries.
Pros:
Miro is a fantastic tool with numerous use cases for a global distributed team who is focused on staying connected. Without Miro, we do our entire OKR planning cycle which is complex processed orientated. After using many tools, Miro was the tool that our team used and validated. We use Miro for BPM across the business and we also use the collaborative power of Miro for creative brainstorming, giving our team a voice and satisfying that creative need across the business. The Miro community templates are also a massive value add giving inspiration and ideas on how to tackle a process design.
Cons:
The only con for Miro is sometimes the time it takes to build maps if you are building yourself. With mind meister, you could use shift and it would automatically create more spaces in the mind map which really helps when you are brainstorming with ideas coming freely. With Miro, sometimes it takes time to build the actual map and this can prohibit the quality of brainstorming.
Provides transparency that helps us always find the right path
Comments: Miro designed a system that keeps collaboration always. Meetings and sessions with Miro tools enabled us to achieve the desired results and document them transparently.
Pros:
Miro has everything to enhance the power of collaboration among team members. The whiteboard, magic pen, and ready-made elements make creating Flowcharts and Diagrams a joy. We use Miro to pin the ideas we gather during brainstorming in the right places and then assemble or reshape until we reach what is required. The presence of many templates helps us display Flowcharts, Diagrams, and other models in an organized manner capable of reflecting a great image of the team involved in creating them. I like the ease of exporting them as images to easily add to reports or presentations. I liked the value of documentation with Miro, as it is possible to know who and when the change occurred and who gave the final approval, which enhances governance throughout the steps.
Cons:
There is no room for negatives with Miro, regular notifications always give us the ability to see in real time any modifications or additions and comment on them by approving or rejecting them, which keeps the workflow smooth.
Awesome for workshops/ collaboration use cases
Comments: This is a great tool for workshops (hybrid or fully remote) or brainstorming session types. It is simple to utilize, no training is required to participate, and there are also nice host-related tools (for example the popping up time keeper counter, the "pre-defined templates, etc)
Pros:
No training is required. Defacto intuitive for new joiners. Scalability (you can start from 1 board, and then create many more). Very easy to collaborate/ brainstorm via post-its, comments. Templates are also great for hosts/ moderators (this makes workshops pre-work simpler and more efficient)
Cons:
Complex to manage licenses at the corporate level. You may end up letting business users buy 'on their own' whenever necessary. A bit complex as well to manage access to participants.
The tool that helps us simplify and efficiently understand our workflow
Comments: Miro has been a great support for our meetings and brainstorming sessions, and I appreciate its support for remote work as it has helped us accomplish many tasks.
Pros:
I like everything about Miro. I love its organized whiteboard that has all the ready-made elements that help us complete the boards as we need them. I love the ease of gathering approvals from team members before approving the final plan. It is great that Miro allows us to participate in real-time remotely efficiently, and this helps us keep the flow of updates going.
Cons:
I have absolutely no hate for Miro with all its content. It makes the whiteboard a hub for planning and management, and has given our workflows the clarity and transparency we need.
Best for diagrams and brainstorming related activities
Comments: It's one of the best tool when I want to create flow diagrams, activity digram, or even for brain storming related template
Pros:
Miro has so many digram templates, it has so many tools which can use while we have been working on flow diagrams Miro's UX experience is very easy to use and team coloration features is too good
Cons:
They should provide auto frame option while we are generating PDF or image from file
A perfect digital whiteboard tool
Comments: The best whiteboarding tool with a wide variety of templates to choose from which can be used for collaboration with multiple users .There are proper security /access controls such as password protection and view/edit access controls which can be individually customised as per the user to prevent unauthorised editing of the board.Overall I highly recommend the tool
Pros:
Its a great whiteboard tool with an unlimited canvas. Supports a variety of predefined templates to choose from for sprint planning,brainstorming etc
Cons:
No suits my use case I did not find any issue with miro yet
It is an invaluable collaborative software
Comments:
Visual ideas are very easy to represent in Miro. This has allowed us to expose ideas better and spend little effort on communication. It has also been a way to create fairly complete prototypes.
We also often invite clients to see the first steps of commissioned projects so they can comfortably give feedback.
Pros:
It is not necessary to download the app to use Miro. Inviting unfamiliar people is an excellent opportunity because it makes it easier for them. Also, it generates a lot of confidence in not having to install it if you don't know it. It is also a scalable and flexible software. From a couple of users to ten or more can collaborate without affecting functionality.
Cons:
The way of sorting the tabs feels very clumsy. It's impossible to save them in folders or sort them to make them more accessible according to individual needs, which sometimes makes me uncomfortable.
A Deep Dive into Miro's Visual Collaboration.
Comments: Miro provides a highly visual and intuitive platform that enables teams to collaborate effectively, allowing for brainstorming, planning, and organizing ideas in a visual format. So personally I enjoy using Miro and I have recommended it to other people as well.
Pros:
The platform's real-time collaboration features facilitate simultaneous work among team members, fostering quick updates, discussions, and feedback exchange. Miro's allows for various use cases, from project management and agile workflows to design thinking, allowing for diverse templates and frameworks. Enables teams to brainstorm, plan, and organize ideas in a visual format.
Cons:
Some times as boards grow in size or complexity, the performance might decrease, leading to slower load times or potential lags in responsiveness. Beginners might initially find Miro's interface and features slightly overwhelming, requiring some little time to get use to it.

Miro - your new best friend!
Comments: I personally love how simple, practical and fun miro is to use for both planning a project and tracking it stage my stage in a visual way. It can even be used for moodboards and feedback which is great for any visul artist or designer.
Pros:
-Its flexibility for brain storming and planning visually. -quick and easy to pick up -multiple people can see and edit the same board, providing feedback and posting new content. -very colourful and simple UI
Cons:
-some features that you may need would require purchase. However once subscribed, miro can become a strong and key tool for the creative pipline.
Miro - the swiss army knife for all my collaborative product work
Comments: integral part of my daily work as a product and team leader.
Pros:
first choice for collaborative brainstorming, designing, creation and discussion of concepts. Love the flexibility, and the continuous innovation of the platform.
Cons:
it is tough to stay up to date with all the recent feature additions and capabilities.
Project planning and real time collaboration tool
Pros:
I like the advance features that Miro have which makes it possible to manage projects thanks to the real-time collaboration.
Cons:
The tool is expensive to acquire compared to its alternatives
Miro: project management and data visualization solution
Pros:
I love the flexibility that comes with the tool which allows for multiple projects
Cons:
The tool is awesome and there are no issues to date
Bring visual elements into just about any meeting
Pros:
It is *very* easy and *very* quick to diagram with Miro. Ten minutes will give you a functional skeleton, thirty minutes will give you a really great flowchart/workflow/mind map etc. That's half the time I would expect to spend, based on my experience with other tools. What this means for individuals is that you're only a few minutes away from having something to share at a meeting. Even better, Miro makes it easy to share your work in a lot of different ways, including plain ol' export as a jpg, which means you can reach people who aren't necessarily going to jump on a video call with you.
Cons:
Though the interface is pretty easy to use, some of the advanced features will force even experienced users to pause and say "Wait, what does this do?" Also, digital accessibility isn't Miro's strong suit and I doubt they're meeting all the WCAG guidelines.
Lovely product and great execution
Pros:
The simplicity and recently the addition of AI. I love that feature. Also Miro is really good at tiny gaps in consumer journeys and filling them. The shortcuts are great and the library of templates is love! I have used it so many times as a starting point. Always a great inspiration
Cons:
The zooming in and zooming out is great but the text size is limited. So If I have zoomed out and have created a big font sentence, then I can't make a bigger header without making everything one size small. Also the size of the new element(post-it, text) should be adjusted to the board size and not it's default size.
Powerful tool for collaboration
Comments: I like Miro and feel as if I haven't quite unlocked its potential..more to learn but the learning curve is high
Pros:
I like the sharing aspect and the whiteboard
Cons:
It can be hard to workout where you are on the board, following along can be tricky if there's a lot of content
