How easy it is to use without lots of technological skill. The visual output. Ease of collaboration. Diversity of products and capability. Professional finish of output. Mini, easy accessible videos to enhance user experience and output.
The tendency to pick up a frame when trying to move around a board.
As a consultant working remotely during the last 15 months, Miro has been an invaluable tool in my successful delivery. I have used Miro to create a visual Gannt style chart with one client as a collaborative project plan that staff from both companies used to keep track and focused on a time-pressured project. It provided an excellent collaboration tool for another client when we used it as our meeting space, ideas repository, and design aid to create a range of training materials for external rollout. It has provided an excellent visualization and ideation space for designing new curricula and process prototypes which I have used to present ideas to clients.
The usability, the easy way to use the post-its, how it is collaborative. I use Miro for every project and in almost every step (brainstorms, planning, timelines). It is so easy to organize my ideas and make the projects easy to explain to my colleagues. I also like how I learned to use Miro very fast. The in-app communication is also a highlight, I always know what's new and it allows me to explore new features quickly.
There is no easy way to build tables and I'd like to have the option to use different fonts and sizes in the same textbox. I think Miro could have more templates options.
I used to be very messy with my projects ideas and now I use Miro to organize better every step of my process. I can see that this helped me a lot to present my ideas, follow processes and centralize every information I found in one place. Every time I had a new idea to show, it was difficult to explain without the visual part, and now, I can put all I need on a board and that's it. Miro really helps me to improve my productivity.
Live collaboration Ability to see who is editing the board (flying pointers) Video calling feature
Nothing much to dislike. Would be good to have an integration with MS Teams
Whiteboarding, Brainstorming & Roadmapping. Biggest benefit is to get feedback from all member of the team in a remote environment
I like how Miro provides features that capture the atmosphere of what a collaborative work is, so my favorite pieces are the clock for setting the time for the dynamics, the play to put nice music that inspires people to collaborate, and the easiness to create the workspaces in a customizable way.
I never use the templates, because I think I produce more if I start from scratch. I also think the zoom-in zoom-out dynamic could be even smoother. But both are details, not a big deal, Miro is perfect, I couldn't live without <3
I am solving the biggest challenge we have this year with the quarantine but also the biggest challenge of design: putting multiple ideas together in the same space in a digestible way. We are simulating office dynamics, brainstorming online, and at the end create diagrams and getting the information organized and accessible to everyone. I could see the benefits of team building, a better understanding of business needs that saves time at the end of the strategic process.
Unlimited templates and canvas to help us. Community with experts in Miro is another major highlight along with Miroverse where we will be able to browse for infinte templates which suits for your day to day work life. Also all team members can come together at a single point of time and work without any hassles.
Only three boards for a free account plan ;) People accidently create free account eventhough our team have a enterprise account and then they will start creating boards in this free account. At the end it will be chaos. Option of all projects/boards visible to team admin could be a good point to consider, so that he/she can migrate boards within the projects without any dependency.
Collaboration with team members becomes easy with the help of Miro. We now use Miro for all our project planning, tracking, and feedback collection.
I use Miro to do consulting and coaching with people around the world, who I couldn't work with otherwise. We chat face to face and draw / type on miro. It's so easy to connect. The built-in video picture in picture chat is very helpful.
There's an annoying thing when you use frames (which are very very helpful) that if you make your own frame then start using it ... the font sizes are often too small. I need to figure out how to avoid that.
Long distance coaching.
Live whiteboard collaboration, templates, help do a variety of activities ranging from wireframes to collaboration methodologies
Does not have integrated task management
Team collaboration, wireframing, conceptualising, whiteboard
MIro offers a range of pre-built templates or the ability to build your ideal board. I like to think of it as a digital whiteboard with all the trimmings you need to map concepts and visualize the ideas stuck in your brain. It offers a collaborative space for people to give input, for you to share, and also can serve as a perfect backdrop to running workshops - critical in our digital work from home environments.
It's challenging to speak with Miro's customer service and gain individual access when working in a large organization.
I use Miro to visualize ideas, strategize for my team, and collate information. It has saved me a lot of time when compared to trying to build something similar in PowerPoint or slides, and I often copy what I've done externally to presentations.
I love the ability to put everything in one place. No jumping from tab to tab, or flipping through different parts of the program to find what I'm looking for. Everything is in one place, which is perfect for me!
Can't seem to think of anything that I dislike. I've always had good experiences with Miro.
Mapping out everything from individuals sales and promotions to the entire calendar year. We've used it for day-long programming and months-long programming all the same.
Prima prendevo appunti in stile sketchnote sulla mia agenda. Adesso posso fare la stessa cosa su Miro, ma con piú possibilità di rettificare e condividere le mie idee
Non ci sono ne tutorial ne customer service in italiano
Posso condividere le mie idee in maniera visiva e intuitiva con il team
I love the dynamic nature of working with others in Miro. We can see structures emerge through our interactions. It's a whole new way of working for me. One of the good things that's come from my experience of home working during the Covid-19 pandemic is exposure to new tools; Miro is the only tool I have found which I feel gives me new capability, rather than a pale replacement of something I can do IRL. I love Miro, and I intend to make it a part of my research, collaboration, planning and teaching in the future. I imagine that when we return to face-to-face interaction, having real time access to this tool while we all communicate live will be hugely productive.
At the moment, we're having some issues with the academic licence which makes it hard for us to roll out use of Miro across the whole organisation. I think this is just teething troubles, and the Miro customer support have been very helpful.
Most useful for collaborative ideation and knowledge capture.
Miro is the most complete tool for me, it has everything I need and more. I don't think any other tool has the same features as Miro.
Google Images plugin isn't working as it used to.
I work with design, so I use it for collaborating with colleagues and clients. With Miro, I can centralize all I need in one single place.
Ufff, their intuitive interface, and of course, the amazing templates library. Miro came into my life when I was looking for a solution that helps me to transfer what is inside my head into graphics, and I am so happy I found it. More recently I loved the App for Zoom. Now I can use Miro to teach without needing to share my display.
I don't dislike anything, I am very satisfied with Miro, but I would love to also use it to draw funnels so I don't have to use another tool for it.
I am always buying sketchbooks to draw my ideas, strategies, and more. The problem with that is that sometimes they get erased or the sheets get lost, so I lost work. Last year I designed a very big flowchart for a project and for some reason I couldn't find it later. Also, I am a teacher and sometimes I need to show my students things on the go. For that I use drawing since my brain works better in that way. When classes were presential, I used blackboard for that, but now classes are virtual I can use Miro for that, especially after they launched the APP for Zoom. Now, for that kind of thing, I use Miro.
It's so intuitive. Miro really consider their users needs. Every feature I could imagine is within the platform and they all work as expected.
Sometimes it's hard to share boards externally with people who don't use MIro
Cross team collaboration / workshops to solve problems.
Infinite size of board and ease of moving around. I don't have to know at the beginning of a project, what I might need later.
Some of my invitees are a little reluctant to post on the board, learning curve.
I am a consultant and am using boards with my clients to collaborate on their needs, potential solutions. I am also using it to provide training materials.
It's a giant whiteboard that can keep getting bigger. It's very easy to move creative around and allows everyone to comment. This has been a great tool with a 100% remote creative team. We have a different board for each project or campaign and it helps to see all the creative for one campaign at once. We've also used it for creative brainstorming, the sticky notes allow for each user to provide feedback anonymously. When on a call, everyone can follow each other's mouse. Someone can take over the screen so we are all looking at the same thing. This is a very neat feature that we starting using for creative critiques. Lastly, we've enjoyed being able to share the boards publicly with other teams that might not need to use the tool, but like to see what our team is working on.
We haven't figured out the best way to organize versions of projects as they move along. The board can look disorganized. There isn't any integration with our project management too, monday.com. Comments don't stick to the item they are associated with, if you move an image that had a comment, the comment stays where the image was. This is very confusing and makes for more work in the long run.
Collaboration and open feedback from team members that review work. It's easy to share work-in-progress. Our team has improved the amount of work they share before it goes off to stakeholders. Multiple team communication. With the public link feature, it's helpful to share it with other teams so they can be in the loop about our projects.
very easy and handy to use, helps to understand and conceptualization your thought and concept, Ensure collaboration and participation from all
I did not find anything which I really dislikes
I am almost using miro in my all projects for inputs, use, involvement, participation, design
It has many different templates for various cases of use Also, i love how you can download anything you create as a PDF
It is not very easy to use for some people in my team (not my particular case)
It allows us to collaborate simultaneously in any project we are in as a team (brainstorming, customer journey design, etc.)
It is intuitive, infinite, and collaborative in so many ways.
I am still learning some of the navigation tools, and there are so many features to learn, but I've only been using Miro for a week.
Remote Idea exchanges, org chart planning, project planning, and process flowing for a remote senior team workforce
Miro tends to be the perfect meeting place outside of specialized tools. For example, Figma is a design tool that also has some shared/collaborative features, but it doesn't address the broader audience of a team like Miro does. I specifically like pre-built shapes such as sticky-notes for making quick notes in group workshops and the freedom of an infinite canvas to move and organize everything.
Although individual notes are often self-contained, when there's a singular block of text such as a research summary, it's not possible to collaboratively type/edit in the same text box at the same time. It's not too bad to take turns contributing to the block of text or create separate ones and combine them later, but I think an ideal tool would have some collaborative editing like a google doc.
Product development lifecycle stuff: User research notes, synthesizing information, brainstorms, and workshops to generate ideas from several people, and then converging again to consolidate strong ideas.
