- ✅ Strong integrations (Jira, Confluence, Slack, Google, Microsoft)

Our verdict
Miro is a top-tier visual collaboration workspace for aligning teams, documenting workshops, and turning ideas into actionable deliverables. Its standout strengths are the collaborative experience (infinite canvas, facilitation tools, rich templates) and strong integrations. The AI layer is genuinely helpful for shaping raw inputs into clarity: clustering sticky notes, generating diagrams, summarizing comment threads, and translating content for global teams. The trade-off is that Miro rewards good structure discipline (frames, naming, tidy zones) to keep boards readable, and AI features run on credits tied to your plan. If you run workshops, lead cross-functional projects, or need a durable visual hub, Miro is an excellent choice.
