Miro Reviews

I love working with Miro solo but it's even better with a collaborator who really commits to making the most of the features that are available. It has made me feel so much more dynamic in my communication and collaboration.

Miro limits free accounts to just three boards so it's not as easy to attract new users as I would like to because people are less willing to learn a software that they can't use much on their own without paying for a subscription.

Any product designer, UX designer, UI designer, or member of a remote design team should have a copy of Miro on hand. It's a great tool for design thinking, brainstorming, and whiteboarding. Their great templates will also assist any novice get started and hold fruitful meetings.

For freelancers on a tight budget, Miro might be prohibitively expensive. For established agencies, though, this is ideal. Even though a voting tool was recently added to the product, a wider range of interactive elements would help us better engage audiences and create better workshop experiences.

Most of the time we're working manually and we don't have physical whiteboard to list the activity of the team. With this we have completed 3 projects till now and that to virtually. Tasks can be listed for everyone on it and progress can be monitored everyday. Even assignment is also easy. Coloring, check boxes are some really awesome things and show the developer creativity

Session expires very soon and needs to relogging again and again.

It helps give us a birds eye view of the projects we are working on. That allows for clients to easily understand what we are doing and give us feedback.

The ability to use colours when adding comments allows us to start associating colours with certain messages which allows one to know if there are things to be attended to with just a glance.

It tends to require a lot of CPU resources which can be an inconvenience because one tends to use it in conjunction with a design software like sketch/photoshop which also require significant CPU power.

Miro was very useful unlike the counterpart jam board, all data are seen on a single window which is very useful in brainstorming and storing data in a single space the more we zoom more data we can see scaling up and down of the files is very useful , different doodling and sketching options

sometimes files become blurry even when zoomed in using certain third-party apps like google meet or zoom screen sharing this is very bad during a presentation

It is so easy to use and therefore so easy to get ideas down quickly from lots of people. I use it with customers to process map their workflows (I run a workflow management platform for schools). It is so easy to use that I can facilitate the workshop and record the notes live AND reorganise them as we go. Being able to collectively work on a board with others is also so useful and so easy to do.

I'm not always clear when adding people to Miro whether I am just sharing the Board or adding them as a team member!

One of the best features of Miro is its ease of use. The platform is intuitive and user-friendly, making it easy for even non-technical team members to get started quickly. Its drag-and-drop interface and customizable templates make it easy to create and collaborate on visual boards, flowcharts, diagrams, and other types of visual content.

Some of the more advanced features are only available with a paid subscription. For teams that require access to these features, the cost of the subscription may be a barrier.

First of all the speed of it. It is amazing how fast and smooth the web experience is even with multiple (16+) participants. Second is the flexibility of it. My company created various templates for retro and other meetings and we can easily choose which one we would like to use. It is also extremely easy to group items together and quickly ask people to vote on them. And for example you can also play music while you are waiting for the timer to finish. All in all it makes our team meetings and collaboration fun.

The "native application" does not feel native. I think it is just a web page wrapper. I really enjoy well crafted applications on my Macbook Pro but this does not feel like one. It is not a deal breaker as the website works well but the only negative things which is worth mentioning in my opinion.

I've used a lot of whiteboarding tools since I began remote work and Miro is my favorite one. It makes organizing ideas very easy. I often use it to create affinity maps and it's very easy to move sticky notes and organize them. Miro has a lot of great templates as well to help you keep ideas organized.

I don't have any huge dislikes for Miro. I wish that it was easier for guests to collaborate.

Miro allows you to create a digital sticky note board that everyone can add ideas to or even draw arrows from and to each other. Being able to visualise and digitise brainstorms are really helpful for my team.

None to complain about personally, perhaps sometimes the loading of the boards take a but longer than preferred.

Here we are in love with Miro: It is easy to use, has a wide arrange of tools to convey ideas and has plenty of templates for specific purposes. Being platform agnostic warrants a great experience across devices and operating systems. The tools to collaborate make it an indispensable app for teachers and trainers.

We are quite pleased with the fact that the Support team (Miro Academy) is always organizing training events to cover the basics and also advanced tools. The Miroverse community is also very helpful and we all get to share templates and tools with the rest of the users.

Not a con, but something that may annoy some people is that the text tool is a bit limited. From the selection of typefaces to the inability to format specific parts of the text, the tool feels lacking.

Another factor to consider (not a con, per see) is that Miro is better used when you have an idea of what is it that you want from it and you organize your content accordingly. The fact that this has an infinite canvas lends to chaos if you do not plan ahead.

It was a great experience, and I've used him for both teaching and scheduling since I met him. Intuition and teamwork are at the heart of Miro's design. You may use it on any device without having to download any additional software or plugins. A fast learner who can quickly engage a diverse group of individuals.

The only drawback I can think of is that uploading material such as videos might take a while. In addition, the cost per license for a small business is considerable, although the free basic version is fairly comprehensive.

It's great when your team is out of reach and you need to gather some ideas. It works even better than the physical presence of people, because it forces them to put it in a note - you can organize notes, transform them etc. Also, you can even see where everybody's mouse cursor is, which, even though isn't required, gives you a nice feeling of collaboration (imagine 10 cursors flying around, doing stuff... it just feels powerful and stimulating). Of course, you can turn it off if you'd like to.
The collaboration board is 'near-infinite', offers many types of objects (stickies being most popular, but also tasks, lanes, images etc). There's meeting agenda, todo list, and other stuff you might need from an online meeting tool.
Paid version also gives you an option to use active elements, like voting, countdown timer etc. Very cool.

The history of changes isn't that easy to track - who did what and when, who's put this element? when? what was added by John? etc.
What this tool doesn't offer is an actual meeting (call/video) - for that, you'd have to use other means to connect.

Miro is used in many ways in my organization, both internally and externally, and in a wide range of projects and interactions with stakeholders. We use the software for conceptualization and planning, charting the customer and partner journey, designing processes, and gathering user input. It's useful to be able to see ideas on a screen and work on them with a group of people all at once.

It may take a while to grant someone access to the board. Once or twice, someone we added to the board didn't immediately gain edit privileges, but I suspect this was due to a problem rather than a lack of features.

I found MIRO intuitive with no training necessary. You can invite collaborators effortlessly with only browser access required. This has been transformational for me during remote working.

When boards become large, the download process can be a little slow and it sometimes trips up with downloading the content that is currently in the viewer's screen. This can easily be resolved by archiving and starting a new board.

Perhaps an option of local caching some content could be useful.

The ease of starting using Miro is amazing. Just register and start whiteboarding. After a while if you need any functionality you can think of you start to dig through the menues in the app and just like that - you find what you need. Be it a canban or a timer or building blocks for flowcharting.

It is definitely on the pricier end when it comes to collaborative editing. Of course there is a free and a "consultant" plan, but even after signing up for that one sharing boards and stating editing feels a bit rough. So you might pay for users and taht gets expencive.

Miro is providing a vast range of template for the whiteboard that can compliment my whiteboard objective. Planning, brain storming session and discussion with my colleague has really improved as we can chatting with each other when using the whiteboard. Everyone on the board will be assign with their representative color so we can distinguished which member editing and altering the board.

There are limit of the whiteboard size that we can use to drawn or adding shapes to the board. If we exceeding the board size, i need to create a new board and can't combine the board. There are also no password that can be assign to the whiteboard to protect it from get edited or deleted by anonymous user.

Miro has helped me in a lot of areas range from gathering ideas to final delivery. This software is very easy to use because the interface is very friendly. Miro also has template-ready to use. I recommend to you to try all the template that suits your project and need.

It’s hard to navigate. Sometimes I lost to find which board is which when my board is getting bigger. It would be nice if we can name every section, so when we right click, we can easily choose which section we want to go.

1. Simple and easy to use and understand interphase2. samples of prebuilt wireframes3. great library of elements and tools needed to create a great wireframe for any project

i think it should be enabled for all devices.

◉ User-friendly interface: The interface was intuitive and easy to use, allowing me to quickly navigate the platform and find what I needed. I was able to create my first project in just a few minutes.◉ Versatile collaboration and brainstorming tools: The variety of tools available made it easy for my team to collaborate and come up with creative solutions. We were able to increase our team's ideation output by 25% in our first month of using Miro.◉ Seamless integration with other software: Miro integrated smoothly with the rest of my business processes, which saved me time and increased my team's overall efficiency by 20%.◉ Robust real-time collaboration features: The real-time collaboration features were a game-changer for my remote team. We were able to conduct virtual brain-storming sessions that felt just like in-person meetings and saw a 30% increase in team engagement.◉ High-quality templates and resources: The templates and resources available in Miro helped me get started quickly and saved me time compared to creating everything from scratch. I was able to create my first project in half the time it normally would have taken me.

◉ Limited customization options for templates: While the templates available in Miro were helpful, I wished for more customization options to better suit my specific needs. This was a minor issue for me but could be a larger concern for others.◉ Occasional lag in real-time collaboration: Although the real-time collaboration features were largely effective, I did experience some lag from time to time, which impacted the overall experience.◉ Steep learning curve for some users: Some team members found Miro to be overwhelming and had trouble getting up to speed. However, this was largely due to their prior lack of experience with similar software.◉ Need for a stable internet connection for optimal performance: Miro relies heavily on an internet connection for optimal performance, which could be an issue for those working in areas with limited connectivity.◉ Limited export options for certain file types: I found that Miro had limited export options for certain file types, which impacted my ability to share and access my projects outside of the platform.

It is a very reliable collaborative tool that provides a very intuitive user experience even for the most digitally challenged users. Most of all, it makes many dreadful meetings more fun.

As an admin it is difficult to manage my team. Currently it is very hard to control the type of membership of people in my organization. I have paid members, free members, trial members, free non-team users and everything in between. It seems like I cannot find a proper approach to have people join as a free member, it just happens, or doesn't. Also, it's a bit annoying that opening a board results in the 'hand' tool by default, while there are many other navigational tools available. Set the normal cursor as default instead?

One of its primary advantages is its intuitive interface, which makes it easy to navigate, even for first-time users. Additionally, Miro offers an extensive range of collaboration features, including real-time collaboration, commenting, voting, and video conferencing, enabling teams to work together seamlessly. Another advantage is Miro's customization options, which include pre-built templates, drag-and-drop functionality, and a library of icons and images, allowing users to create unique and visually stunning boards. Lastly, Miro integrates with a wide range of third-party apps, including Slack, Google Drive, and Trello, making it easy to incorporate into existing workflows.

There are some potential drawbacks to consider. First thing is that Miro's pricing can be costly for some users, especially those who need access to its more advanced features and functionalities. Secondly, while Miro is intuitive, it can still take some time to learn and master its many features and functionalities, which may be a challenge for some users and could take some time to learn all the features. Additionally, Miro's payment options are limited, as it only accepts credit cards as a payment method.

It is easy to get messed up and losing focus when people discussing idea together, especially when we discuss it online. Miro has space for digital whiteboard, that anyone on the discussion session can use it to draw and express their ideas better with the help on the whiteboard. The visual element help me to explain my idea clearly.

It would be better if Miro is offered its stand alone software for the desktop version. For now, Miro can only be used by accessing it from the web browser. I am using Chrome web browser, and it consuming the computer resource too much and making all the other software that i open goes slow as well.

Miro is a fantastic tool that enables collaboration when working remotely. I've used it for mapping, presentations, retros, brainstorming etc. The limit is essentially your own imagination.
It's approachable, yet deceptively complex - like all good tools.

It's difficult to find cons with Miro. Initially the navigation was clunky - but that was fixed in a recent update with the "right click to move" functionality. It can occasionally drain my laptop's resources or run slowly. However I suspect that may be due to the size and complexity of the boards that we force upon it.

Overall, Miro is an excellent tool for anyone looking to create compelling data visualizations or wireframes. Its robust feature set, collaborative capabilities, and ease of use make it a top choice for teams of all sizes and industries. Whether you're a data analyst, designer, or project manager, Miro is a tool that is definitely worth considering.

A potential limitation of Miro is that it is primarily an online tool, which means that users need a stable internet connection to access and use its features. This can be a problem for teams or individuals who work in areas with poor internet connectivity or who prefer to work offline.
