Miro — pros
- + Enormous template library (5,000+) and Miroverse community for retro formats
- + AI clustering groups sticky notes by sentiment, tag, author and keyword; Sidekicks and Flows extend AI deeper into the canvas
- + Best-in-class integration catalog (Jira, Azure DevOps, Asana, Confluence, Slack, Teams) with two-way sync
- + Enterprise-grade SSO, SCIM, audit logs, ISO 27001, ISO 42001 (AI governance) and EU/US/AU data residency
- + Same canvas works for discovery, planning and retros — no context switching
Miro — cons
- − Per-seat pricing: a 24-person org pays ~$192/mo on the Starter tier (annual), well above retro-native tools at that headcount
- − No native health checks, mood tracking or longitudinal team-pulse
- − No recurring retros, scheduling, action carryover or cross-team rollup — facilitators rebuild structure each sprint
- − Jira/Azure DevOps/Asana sync and SSO sit behind the $20/user/mo Business tier; SCIM and audit logs only on Enterprise (30-seat min)
- − No built-in retro report or action-tracker dashboard
TeamRetro — pros
- + Health checks with custom models, longitudinal tracking and cross-team reporting
- + Three modules in one suite (retros, health checks, planning poker)
- + Complete enterprise stack: SAML SSO, SCIM and audit logs, SOC 2 Type 2 held directly, US/EU data residency
- + AI grouping, template suggestions, action items and sentiment built in
- + Broad agile-tool integrations including Jira, Azure DevOps, GitHub, Linear, Confluence
TeamRetro — cons
- − No free tier — 30-day trial only, then a paid plan is required
- − SCIM provisioning and the public API are gated to the Enterprise tier
- − ISO 27001 is inherited via AWS, not held directly
- − Data residency limited to US and EU (no APAC region)
