Why Miro is the best choice

Say goodbye to unnecessary meetings

Miro’s collaboration features go far beyond the ability to diagram and share data in real time. Run engaging workshops right from your Miro board and maximize participation using features like live reactions and voting. Prefer to work async? Record interactive walkthroughs using Talktrack so you can keep everyone informed and get feedback without scheduling a meeting.

An extensive collection of templates

While Visio offers a handful of templates, Miro opens a world of possibilities with over 2000 diverse templates to choose from — including categories like diagramming, Agile workflows, and even icebreakers. These templates are built with best practices in mind, allowing you to kickstart your project with high standards.

Get access to powerful integrations

Visio makes it hard to step outside the Microsoft ecosystem. Miro offers over 130 apps and integrations — including Microsoft 365. Bring meetings straight to your Miro board using integrations with Zoom, Google Meet, Cisco, and Microsoft Teams — or integrate with entire suites like Google Workspace and Atlassian. Either way, no more back and forth.
