Miro
Design & Product · miro.com/
Overview
Miro is a cloud-based visual collaboration platform built around an infinite canvas where teams brainstorm, diagram, plan, and run workshops together in real time. Originally launched in 2011 as RealtimeBoard, it now serves over 100 million users across 250,000+ organizations, including Salesforce, Deloitte, and Cisco. Beyond whiteboarding, it has expanded into docs, tables, kanban boards, and AI-assisted workflows aimed at product, design, agile, and cross-functional teams.
The problem Miro solves
Teams running workshops, retros, and cross-functional planning usually end up juggling slide decks for visuals, a separate PM tool for structured tasks, and video-call screen shares that nobody can revisit afterward. Miro solves the visual-collaboration half of that by putting an infinite, real-time canvas, templates, and lightweight diagramming directly in one shared space with live cursors, so distributed teams can ideate and reference the same board together instead of stitching screenshots and decks across tools.
Decision context
Use these points to test whether the product fits your operation, not just whether it has a long feature list.
- Published starting price: Free. Confirm user, usage, and feature limits for the plan you would actually buy.
- Deployment: cloud. Check security, data-residency, and access requirements for every team that will use it.
- Verified integrations include Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Jira, Confluence, Slack, Microsoft Teams. Validate sync direction and plan limits for the connections that matter.

How to evaluate Miro
A listing helps create a shortlist; a trial with the team’s real workflow decides whether the tool fits. Use this reading with the structured facts and confirm changes with the vendor.
Workflow fit
The record describes it as a fit for Design, product, and agile teams running remote/hybrid workshops, retros, and brainstorms, Cross-functional orgs that need a shared visual space linked into Jira/Asana/Azure DevOps rather than static slides, Consultancies and agencies presenting interactive journey maps or diagrams to clients. Check that this context matches the volume, roles, and processes your team needs it to support.
Pilot questions
- Can Miro complete the critical workflow without manual work outside the product?
- Do the recorded connections (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Jira, Confluence) support the sync direction, permissions, and volume we need?
- What user, usage, storage, support, or security limits appear after the headline starting price?
Evidence and freshness
This record was checked on 7/31/2026. That date tells you when the record was reviewed, not that the vendor has left its terms unchanged since then.
Best for
- Design, product, and agile teams running remote/hybrid workshops, retros, and brainstorms
- Cross-functional orgs that need a shared visual space linked into Jira/Asana/Azure DevOps rather than static slides
- Consultancies and agencies presenting interactive journey maps or diagrams to clients
Not a fit if
- Teams wanting a dedicated task/project management system as their system of record (Miro's task features are secondary to its canvas)
- Cost-sensitive small teams needing more than 3 boards, since the free tier is capped and paid tiers add up per seat
Why it’s listed
- Category-defining visual collaboration tool with the largest install base (100M+ users) in the whiteboarding space
- Broad enterprise-grade compliance footprint (SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, GDPR) suitable for regulated buyers
