Miro Reviews & Product Details

The flexibility of the tool.

I like I can apply tables with post-its inside (structure + brainstorming).

Also like I can include documents/ ppt presentations and be able to brainstorm with teams, collect ideas and train using the Miro tools.

Also are very good the templates avaible that I can have new ideas on how to structure and conduct workshops and perform idea generation workshops. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Loading time of the content sometimes is a little slow for the quantity of information and drawings attached to the board.

Lagging (delay to move) when there are too much people connected and doing an activity (more than 20 for example). I am not sure if this is something related to quantity of people or net connection issues, but generates some lagging that people get´s frustated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Miro has been a game changer for our organization! We are fully remote and have no intentions of returning to the office. Miro helps keep meetings engaging and capture input during strategy and innovation sessions much more effectively than meeting minutes. I particularly love that by collecting input or feedback through Miro, we can reduce bias that can happen quite often in verbal discussions, engage team members with a visual flow, and tag, sort, and export data easily. We use Miro for everything from games and icebreakers to innovation sessions, product development, and more. The templates make it easy to get ideas when approaching a meeting or workshop. The best feature is that it works directly through the Microsoft Teams meeting screen, so people don't have to split their view. It is the one tool I would fight tooth and nail to keep in our organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall, I don't have any complaints about Miro. It can be more challenging for less-technical people to learn at first. However, there are some instruction templates you can easily include in every board you create that help orient users on how to scroll, zoom, drag, and write on sticky notes.

The ease of use of the platform, an the flexibility of the solution makes it truly feel like your own workspace or whiteboard. There's never a time I feel that I'm too restructured by the platform to get out from Miro what I need, when it comes to planning our strategies, campaigns or just simply generating ideas.

Honestly, I haven't come across any downsides for me personally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like being able to visualise my project organisation using simple moveable post-it notes. It helps me to be able to keep track of how many clients I have and what stage they are in making a purchase without needing to use a spread sheet.

One of the best things is being able to find a template that looks helpful and fluidly add it to an already existing board, without the need to start a new project.

The wide range of features that can be adapted to suit my project is really helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes when I try to group select post-it notes that are within a board or template it can be a bit fiddly and will try to select the background item as well.

So I often have to ctrl-z a movement of post-it notes and try again making sure only want I want to be selected actually is.

This wastes a bit of time.

One solution would be able to just fold control or option and the curser automatically change to a select box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm a user experience specialist, and I love using Miro because of its versatility. It provides the space and templates for almost every stage of the product development life cycle, making it an essential tool for my work. I also appreciate its flexibility - it allows me to create and collaborate without restrictions. Miro has truly become a must-have tool in my workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, none! I’ve had a great experience with Miro. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The upside of Miro is that it's a blank canvas to explore your ideas and communicate things.

Typically, communication of ideas - especially at work - was locked to a document or slides and is in a fairly rigid, rectangular format. Ideas and narratives aren't actually best illustrated that way.

The great thing about Miro is it gives you a canvas to illustrate things in the best way possible without the constraint of traditional docs or slides

Obviously, the collaboration stuff is great and really handy when you need it. But to me, that's the magic in Miro - it gives you a blank canvas. You can execute effortlessly and also impart your own styling preferences to create something that's really beautiful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the Frames feature within Miro quite irritating.

When they work well, they mean that you can take another person on a journey across your blank canvas really easily through the frames.

However, they just go wrong regularly. I find it really hard to edit frames after they're done, sometimes the content doesn't show properly in the frame, and it would be really really hard for me to articulate all of this, but the frames are just fraught with bugs and errors and they never work properly.

As a software/data engineer, I find Miro to be an incredibly useful tool for collaboration, data architecture planning, and workflow visualization. Here’s why it stands out:

Excellent for Data Pipeline Design – Miro’s infinite canvas makes it easy to map out ETL workflows, data flow diagrams, and architecture blueprints. The drag-and-drop functionality helps in quickly structuring data pipelines before implementation.

Great for Team Collaboration – Real-time collaboration allows seamless brainstorming sessions with data engineers, analysts, and business stakeholders. No more back-and-forth emails—just instant updates.

Apart from the above, I am now using Miro for my presentations too :) Unlike Powerpoint, it is much easy to put a lot of stuff there for presentation.

In short, it’s a powerful whiteboarding and architecture planning tool that improves team productivity as it is very easy and light to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can Get Cluttered – If multiple people work on a board without proper organisation, it can become a bit messy. Keeping a structured approach is key.

However, one can overcome the above by using a structured approach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is a great tool for diagraming ideas, because it gives a feeling of an infinite white board. I like how I can move things around to arrange space between items and how easy it is to add something in the middle of a diagram to expand it. This is great both for early stage ideas and large boards. Also, being able to collaborate with the team in real time makes it perfect for online meetings, like when brainstorming or documenting. I've been using it almost every week for projects or personal brain dumps. I think it's easy to start working on it because it uses most of the common keybindings and mouse controls you'd expect for navigating the interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Cannot easily align items (no magnetic placing), which can be really annoying to people who like to perfectly align items in the board.

- Sometimes the arrows simply don't go the way I want them to go

- I find the formatting options a little limited and buggy (mainly with the colors), for example you cannot see the color names in the color picker, which is a problem for a colorblind like myself and if a collaborator selected a custom color, it doesn't appear in the quick selection for the rest of the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That’s a long list, so I’ll make it shorter for readers benefit.

- Finally having a non-physical space to map my (and others) thoughts.

- Ability to coordinate actions real-time. This is something that Miro really excels at.

- A ton of useful presets. I either do simple things on my own or things that are more complex but there’s already a template for it.

- Integrations. A lot of them and they work very well (I was totally surprised that you can embed a Google Doc directly in Miro). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think it would be nice to have a different mode for using tablets/touch devices that you can write on. More of a sandbox mode, where you don’t have or can’t to interact with objects like arrows, notes, shapes.

This might be a hard one - selecting objects, copying them and knowing what you’ll be pasting might not be always that intuitive. Unless that’s already solved, maybe having the ability to batch select objects only on the top layer of your selection area would be useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Miro with an org team of 40+ people and I'd say we get a lot of value out of it. It is our default diagramming tool, for which its openness and shareability knock Office/Sharepoint apps out of the park. I haven't used many other whiteboard tools (e.g. FigJam) but I'd say that the focus on whiteboard features helps to keep Miro sleek and not overburdened with design choices. It's a refined experience. It's easy for a lot of users to collaborate; we use it for jam sessions with 20+ participants. I have also led presentations and videos driven from Miro and found that to be a good experience. The keyboard shortcuts are very good once you learn them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Other users in my team tend to experience a learning curve and their muscle memory from other illustration/whiteboarding apps doesn't carry over. Text sizing is a bit of an unsolved problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
