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 scales painfully if retros are the primary use case
- − 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)
- + Enterprise stack that's actually complete: SSO, SCIM, audit logs, SOC 2 Type 2, 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 and per-team pricing scales quickly for large orgs
- − Cloud-only — no self-hosted or on-premise option
- − ISO 27001 is inherited via AWS, not held directly
- − Data residency limited to US and EU (no APAC region)
