Arrange an introduction miro.com

Miro is the most popular online whiteboard platform for remote and hybrid teams. The platform is especially popular in product, design, and agile environments. Over recent years, Miro has entered the enterprise market with a more serious offering, but for many organisations it remains a shadow IT tool that has grown bottom-up without central licence control.
The licensing model distinguishes Members (paid) from Viewers (free). As with Figma, it’s tempting to add people as Members when Viewer access would suffice for most users.

Procurement considerations

Carry out a seat audit before renewal
Check how many Members have been active in the last 90 days. In most organisations, 30-40% of Members are actually inactive or could have made do with Viewer access.
Negotiate at Enterprise level for SSO and compliance
Miro Enterprise adds SSO, central user control, and audit logs. If you need these features, Enterprise is mandatory — but the price is negotiable.

Compliance risks

Sensitive data on an external whiteboard
Teams regularly place sensitive company information on Miro boards without realising that these are by default stored in the cloud. Check the data classification and retention settings.

Frequently asked questions about Miro

Frequently asked questions about Miro licences and procurement.

What is the difference between Miro Business and Enterprise?

Business offers unlimited boards and basic integrations. Enterprise adds SSO, advanced security, central admin control, and SLA guarantees. For organisations with more than 50 users, Enterprise is generally required for compliance.

Can I reduce Miro licences mid-term?

Mid-term reduction is not standardly allowed with annual contracts. At renewal you can adjust the number of seats. SoftVaro prepares this process and negotiates a better deal where possible.
