One of the main use cases is building web pages and collaborating with colleagues. Another use case is sketching out social media posts and subsequent creative assets. Also, retrospectives are a popular use case for all aspects of the business.
  • Templates are self explanatory and easy to use
  • The navigation is easy to use
  • Great collaboration tool
  • The text is small and always needs to be adjusted
  • Auto generation of website links into a billboard; don't always like that feature
  • I'd like to see animation features
Miro is a great brainstorming tool; collaboration tool; ways of working tool. I like how you can build at a glance ideas and share these with other team members.
It's like a sketch book where I can formalize thoughts and get creative.

We use Miro in the design process. It is an amazing way to collaborate remotely in real time on projects. It allows us to document, sketch, and share ideas in a living document. One can easily import images and documents to other boards that are created by others.
  • sharing of images across the organization
  • collaborating in real time
  • documenting a history of innovation
  • Importing of videos from personal computers
  • better drawing functions
  • copy and pasting images
We use it daily as a way to collaborate in the design and innovation process. Document sharing is easy within the Miro platform, and it allows you to give permissions to users that do not have a Miro account

As a BA/PO, I used Miro to collaborate with stakeholders. It has all the tools for sharing prototypes and collecting feedback synchronously and asynchronously. I have used Miro for a few years in different organizations and on projects with others. No one asked to change the tool, unlike discussions we have on every project about design software.
  • Easy to share.
  • I like the 'follow' feature. It is very convenient for people watching presentations and who want to look at the board at their own Zoom level.
  • Tools (arrows, stickers, frames). I never needed more tools than I already have.
  • Comments history.
  • Sometimes, it's tricky to find the tool. There are a lot of controls, and it's not obvious where to look for something.
  • Performance: sometimes I wait more than a minute while the board loading.
  • When I usually open the link from an email, something like 'see what changed' just opens the board. It is used to display new actions.
I will always recommend Miro as a default tool for sharing prototypes and collecting comments. I wouldn't recommend it as a design storage.

I use it to collect ideas, to summarize thoughts. Regardless wheter I am doing brainstorming or workshops, together with others or totally alone. <br>Miro is a great and creative tool that doesn't block me and my thoughts but rather enables free thinking. Yes, it can be more structured than that, but my preference is to use it whithout almost any limitations and guard rails.
  • Organize thoughts and ideas
  • Present ideas and concepts
  • Collect info about any kind of idea
  • User profiles are hard to understand
  • Sorting many boards in projects and similar
  • Search för a particular board amongst all our boards
It is well suited for high level planning, to get the big picture when many things are involved as well as low level planning, when just one prioritized list is not enough.
It is also good to collect ideas, since almost anything (digital) can be pasted in a board. I works fine to do retros and presentations.

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.

We've been using Miro for just over 12 months to plan and organise various projects within our marketing department. Some of these projects are digital development which work well for mapping out infrastructure while more traditional marketing projects and campaigns fit in well due to the responsive collaboration options and flexible interface.

The big benefits to using this platform has been the ability to work on visual charts and roadmaps together in a remote working setting.
  • Collaboration with team members
  • Tracking multiple boards for different project types or teams
  • Visualization tools to make the charting process easy for anyone to use
  • The mobile experience could be improved upon
  • More media and block types when creating a board
  • More options to track changes and board versions
Miro is a relatively easy to use platform which makes using it for brainstorming projects with bigger teams very effective. I've used whiteboard platforms in the past for a similar use case but they always resulted in a colleagues struggling with the interface. Miro has always been easy to get started and new users find the interface to be very intuitive to get started with.

Miro is the main platform we use to conduct research. We house all of our templates: hypothesis, note-taking, synthesis, and report out. We also link all video recordings from customer interviews.
  • Allows for collaboration
  • The boards are large enough to house an entire project in one place
  • Color coding - you can add frames and organize information in an easy-to-find/highlight way
  • Templates - there are only two templates for birthday cards
  • Images - allows more interaction
  • Journey mapping templates
Project planning - we use it for our meeting stand-ups. we can keep track of who is working on what Collaborating tool - for fun things, we use it to create birthday cards, recognition, etc.

Miro is used usually for organizing our monthly workload into a Kanban board and for some project milestones overview. We use it because it is a bit less complex than other existing tools and more user friendly. We also use it in a creative way when all the team needs to create a strategy for a certain idea/product and everyone needs/wants to chip in.
  • Interface is user friendly
  • Intuitive, easy to use
  • Multiple boards options, multiple functionalities
  • Love the templates for different domains
  • Kanban is good but standard, the same product offered by other companies
  • Nothing to bothersome, but learning all the functionalities of the Kanban or various boards takes a while
  • A short tutorial is missing and would be welcomed (I mean a short video tutorial)
  • Miroverse (example of Miro projects made by other users)
Kanban - a lot of functionalities and I personally like that one can pick the color palette, adjust the grid, background color and more (overall quite similar to Canva as a concept). Kanban is well-suited for project planning.
I feel like it depends on the skill of the user to adjust the use of Miro to different cases.

Miro is very well suited to those who have access to it. Not so much when team members or stakeholders inside or outside the business don't or can't have full access to it. We do not use it as a final version to be handed over for development, but we can use it as a guideline.

Some ways are as follows: 1) Collective brainstorming and contributions to emerging development features. Miro allows us to discuss new functionality we wish to implement in our app synchronously or asynchronously. This prevents silos of information and allows all stakeholders to be on the same page before implementation begins, ensuring the end product meets expectations. The way we can tag each other for input also allows quick answers while working around people's busy schedules. The way we can draw to convey ideas goes a long way in unblocking us at each step. 2) Documentation. We use Miro to visualize and document many things, including our architectural design, ensuring high visibility of knowledge among all team members.
  • It allows for the on-the-fly changing of the work area (it can start small but can always add on and expand without complicated settings updates, etc.).
  • Use of frames to group things together (I also like how when you zoom out on a board with multiple frames, the labels increase in size).
  • The talktrack feature is nice.
  • Integration with Azure: I want a frame where all Azure work items in an Iteration path are kept up to date (this also removes or adds to the miro frame as they are removed from or added to an iteration path in Azure).
  • With too many images I have noticed Miro slows down/ cannot process as quickly and becomes jumpy.
Asynchronous input from multiple team members into a discussion/topic on a Miro board.

We use Miro as a virtual collaboration tool for our projects. We are an architecture and design studio working remotely 80% of the time. We create Miro boards for both internal and external collaboration. Internally we tend to work remotely and teams can post progress work for review. Externally we create presentations and exhibits to share with clients for comment. We use Miro also as a programming tool - a way to collect user data that can help us design their spaces. The ease of sharing the url link coupled with the simple tools make it ideal for our clients. we also set up board for document coordination where we can post different versions of a drawing and comment to ensure our consulting engineers can align their work to ours.
  • Diagramming tools
  • Sketching and drawing
  • Talk track
  • Templates
  • Presentation
  • Fonts and scale
  • Uploads into rows or columns
  • Hide internal content for non team members
It is great as a pin up board for presentation content and feedback.
It is not well suited to create content beyond simple shapes and text.

We use Miro regularly in most meetings, for brainstorming, capturing meeting notes, prototyping, decision making, presenting.

Miro helps remove friction for hybrid meetings to connect those working at home aswell as in a meeting room. It is reliable with speed and the ability to see who is collaborating at any one time.
  • Group brainstorming and multiple users working on one document at a time
  • Variety of templates to serve multiple purposes (brainstorm/presentation/prototype)
  • Easy to understand UI means anyone is empowered to be a designer/presenter
  • consistency in size of frames or templates or images
  • folder structure (maybe just our organisation)
  • Present mode and ensure slides are in correct order
Brainstorming, and we tend to use one Miro board with multiple frames for one team. This means without any rules it can tend to get too large.

Planning - using tables to create Gantt charts and quarterly 'high level' deliverables with sticky notes.

Creating presentations to present work back to key stakeholders.

Great for ice breakers to get many team members to contribute.

Not appropriate for actual content creation or final assets - although it can be exported to a PDF easily.

We use Miro for so many tasks and sessions. So many calls/sessions involve using Miro to allow us to collaborate and ideate. Miro has substituted many other packages for sharing thoughts, ideas, content, etc. I find Miro helpful for designing diagrams - the design functionality is much more intuitive than other software.
  • Design functionality.
  • Allow collaboration.
  • Better templates.
  • More shapes for free.
Miro is well suited to all types of product, marketing, design, and engineering work, from discovery through to execution.

Miro is the go-to whiteboarding tool across the organization's teams. Use cases range from analyzing user research findings and insights to facilitating collaborative workshops, visualizing UX workflows, and reviewing teams' work through screenshots and annotations on Miro. Many of my teammates, including myself, also use Miro as a journal or a workbook to log their work and learnings, gather resources, and track their work.
  • The infinite canvas that has no ends to the file; helps grow and branch thoughts and ideas without boundaries. It lets you visually observe the growth of a process.
  • Collaborative workshop sessions are seamless.
  • Searching for sticky notes is a boon and is super underrated.
  • Moving from FigJam and having experienced products like Butter, the "fun" part of celebrating experiences with Hi-5s and sounds is missing.
  • To expand on the last point, the whole phygital experience is missed.
I would really appreciate it if Miro could provide board template suggestions based on the kind of user-created boards in the past. I still can't get myself to use templates off the shelf without having to customize them a little. If Miro could have a component library to assemble templates, that could also help.

Easy to conduct meetings. All related documents by various team members are in one place for quick and convenient review. It is helpful to combine images, PDFs, texts, and drawings to read cohesively. Works excellent with team meetings to explain design and concepts to the team virtually. We are an architectural firm; it is just the right product for laying out everything.
  • PDF insertion.
  • Ease of sharing among team members.
  • Large canvas to work on.
  • Ability to draw and write.
  • Voting aspects could be clearer.
  • Frames explained more thoroughly.
  • Estimation is not a great tool for us.
It works great for in-house weekly Meetings to present all possible options in various forms. It is also wonderful for online meetings to share and take comments. Voting/estimation does not work for us.

Miro is a tool that has radically changed our way of working. Sometimes, we use the boards to explain ideas to the client; recently, we even have editorial calendars. Tracking progress month by month has helped us see the order and progress in the strategy alongside the client. We love Miro.
  • Organize our editorial boards.
  • Organizes mind maps.
  • Provides visual progresion of our projects.
  • Price is an area of improvement. We use it a lot, but it is not affordable as a Mexican, so it is easy.
  • When selecting my boards and those of another user, I always get lost trying to find which ones are mine.
  • Deleting boards is complicated as well.
The organization of information is the most useful. Maybe an area less appropriate is the calibration of the list. In that scenario, I would rather use Notion or Figma.

Yes, we use the Miro for our projects. We are in the Architectural Industry. We often face issues with using graphic tools in Miro. We usually mark up or show some sketches in the images. An update of the graphic tools is what we are hoping for more interactive collaboration (Markups and Sketching).
  • Sharing images.
  • Exchanging thoughts.
  • Virtual access.
  • Graphic tool improvement.
It's a good tool for sharing thoughts and exchanging information. Team members can access project boards at any time and from anywhere. It increases team communication and speeds up the decision-making process. Having more graphic editing tools to improve interactive collaboration might be good.

Process mapping, high-level designs, collaborative workshops globally, note-taking, brainstorming, and blue-sky thinking. We use Miro's flowcharts to draw out business processes, bring people together, and make them feel aligned. We do project planning and use it to create graphics to wish people a happy birthday. We also use it to share pictures from our vacations.
  • I love the collaborative nature of it and the real-time feature.
  • It brings structure in ambiguous situations by easy and process mapping.
  • We could use it for creative ways and its only limited by our imagination.
  • I'd love to see an offline access feature.
  • Advanced export options where we can export frames as images for example.
  • Allow freemium use of AI features.
Well-suited scenarios include when my teams are distributed around the world when we kick off a project and want to start project planning, when we are doing low-fidelity product mockups and designs with the clients, and when we are working through business processes with the current state and future state in mind.

We use Miro in our business to generate ideas and collect requirements that we can then shape into concepts that lead to formal designs and developed products. The product's flexibility and collaboration capability make it easy to use so that we can focus on thinking and not be boxed in by the limitation of a tool or a specific process. Since we are a remote company, it's a critical tool in our business. It allows us to have virtual meetings and collaborate as if we were in the same room. I highly recommend Miro.
  • Flexibililty
  • Collaboration
  • Easy to learn
  • Perhaps more tips along the way based on what you're doing to learn more about the tool's power.
  • Help in organizing the chaos when it gets too unwieldy or big.
Collaborative concepting is where it shines. Even though it's very powerful, it's easy to do the basics, so bringing in new contributors is a simple and non-intimidating process. It may be less appropriate for defined process documentation that is fixed and doesn't need to change much over time, but it's highly flexible and adaptable.

I am an ESL teacher and conduct all my online lessons using Miro. Since I tried it for the first time, I fell in love with the features and tools it offers for lesson presentations. I can attach videos, audios, mind maps, pictures, emojis, and stickers to interact with my students. I can also use a timer during my lessons, which is very helpful both for me as a teacher and for my students. I can bring all the students to me on Miro when they get a bit lost on the board, so I don't need to waste time explaining where to find me.

Additionally, it is easy to operate, and I love the feature that allows me to hide my lesson from the student so they wouldn't see it in advance. I love Miro and can talk endlessly about how great it is for my work. I also use Miro for my other projects. What I would like to add to Miro is a tool that allows me to attach videos in different formats from my computer, because currently, I can only do it from YouTube. Thank you to everyone who brought Miro to life.
  • can attach photos , videos from internet, audios from your Google Drive, emojis, stickers, images from Miro's tools
  • you can highlight, draw, erase your drawing, create any shapes and any size you want
  • you can zoom in and out endlessly (at least it looks like that)
  • you can copy-paste PDF, images, photos and pictures
  • Main problem is that I can attach video links from YouTube but I wish to be able to do that also from my computer files
  • There is a problem with the lines which I want to put for underlining new words in the text and the line is trying to connect wrong dots on the frame and doesn't want to stay in the middle of the text.
  • One more thing is that sometimes it takes time to load properly the board and the presentations on it.
It is well suited to do different types of presentations, projects, mind maps, tables and so on, even for private purposes like creating to-do list, planners, files with images, PDF texts.

I don't really know where it is less appropriate. Only for people who do their jobs outside. Anyone who works in the office can use it for some purposes.

Miro is great for ideation and collaboration. I've used it extensively when facilitating design thinking workshops, project presentations and gathering ideas/brainstorming. In addition, I've used it for daily scrum meetings and product research of competitors and the like.
  • Collaboration
  • Infinite whiteboard
  • User flows and other diagrams
  • Mind mapping
  • I really like the video meeting capability but the video window is too small. Also, I'd like to be able to put up a background for privacy issues.
  • Maybe I'm not aware of it, but I don't think there is a way to save a Miro board and import it into a different user account Miro board. For example, I'm doing a freelance project right now and I'm using my Miro account with the client. He's put in a lot of detailed, propriety product information and at the end of the project I'm sure he'll want the board.
  • Depending upon the level of security at a given company sometimes the notifications don't work. Not sure if you have any control over this though.
I already covered this in the first block of questions.

We use Miro for many use cases: - we use it for planning, from keeping our roadmap to handling daily plannification - we use it for creating architectural diagrams to keep our systems well documented - we also use it for sprint retrospectives to get feedback from the team in a very interactive way.
  • Create diagrams.
  • The integration with external apps.
  • Edit in collaboration.
  • Better Jira integration (and bulk editing).
  • Better way to manage imported icons (like some custom icon sets).
  • Better frames to group stickers or icons.
  • A way to group multiple elements into custom figures.
As a manager, it has become a critical piece of my day-to-day operations, from managing planning to managing different initiatives, handling meetings with my team, and having good documentation of what we have in progress. Also, as said on other points, the ability to integrate with external tools is key for me.

We use Miro to create visual storyboards, we take the storyboards and create stunning animations from it. It serve as a multimedia channel to communicate with my client. There my client gives me visual, textual and multimedia indications and references I can interact with. I have to say that I work with particular clients in the post production and edition of videos.
  • It can host images, screenshots, texts and visual indicators all in one place.
  • It allow collaborative creation, any member of the project can interact and modify the board.
  • Very flexible and "free handy" to create designs, rough storyboards and texts.
  • Maybe more flexibility to create geometric figures
  • A better organization by a Layer system
  • Faster performance when loading a project
If you need to explain complex ideas and indications to your client, customer or employee, you can use the possibilities and tools of Miro. Specially in the creative field. Also it helps a lot to visualize projects and allow other means of communication beside the barrier language. Very recommended for artists and visual designers.

We use multiple Miro boards for multiple purposes, like a bi-weekly calendar that can be shared and updated in real time with every user/department on our company and, why not, remote users. Another example is a "top 3 sellers" for the sales area, updated every hour. Before Miro, we used to have an old-fashioned whiteboard and some markers. Now everyone can see the board wherever they are.

In my experience, Miro works well for scenarios where you need to share your ideas with someone else or with a team. Remote users can see your ideas/projects without having to travel to the office. A simply phone call to your remote user and you both can edit and share ideas in real time. Been there, done that. Works perfectly! I never tried, to be honest, but I believe that if you're looking for a tool to create a Slides presentation, Miro is not the best suitable product. But for an one-screen board, it's great!
