Polybase's interactive boards live inside your workspace channels, connected to conversations, tasks, and documents. Brainstorm on a board, then convert sticky notes into Kanban tasks with one click. Discuss ideas in the channel thread. Hop on a video call to refine the design. Everything stays connected and actionable.
Miro is the leading infinite canvas tool for visual collaboration — mind maps, wireframes, retrospectives, and workshops. It's excellent for creative sessions, but it operates in isolation. After a Miro brainstorm, action items are manually copied to Jira, discussions move to Slack, and the board often sits untouched until the next workshop.
Feature Comparison
See exactly what you get with Polybase compared to Miro.
Migrate from Miro
Switching is easier than you think. Follow these steps and your team will be up and running in minutes.
Audit Active Miro Boards
Identify which Miro boards your team actively references. Most teams have a handful of living boards and many abandoned ones. Focus on migrating the active content and archiving the rest.
Create Polybase Channels for Each Project
Set up Polybase channels for teams or projects that use visual collaboration. Each channel provides a board, chat, task management, and document space — replacing both Miro and parts of your Slack workflow.
Recreate Key Boards in Polybase
Recreate your active brainstorming boards, planning canvases, and retrospective templates in Polybase. The interactive board supports sticky notes, shapes, and real-time collaboration for common team activities.
Connect Boards to Action
The game-changer: after brainstorming on a Polybase board, convert sticky notes directly into tracked Kanban tasks. Action items from workshops become real work items without manual re-entry. This is something Miro fundamentally cannot do natively.
Replace Miro + Jira + Slack with Polybase
With boards, tasks, and chat in one place, your team's workflow from ideation to execution lives in a single tool. Cancel your Miro subscription and consolidate your stack.
What Polybase Adds
Polybase doesn't just replace Miro — it gives you capabilities Miro can't.
Brainstorm → Task in One Click
Miro sticky notes are just sticky notes. Polybase lets you convert any board element into a tracked Kanban task with an assignee, priority, and due date — bridging the gap between ideation and execution.
Boards Inside Your Communication
Miro boards are accessed via shared links, disconnected from your team chat. Polybase boards live inside channels — start a discussion about a board element in the same thread where your team communicates daily.
Brainstorm with Built-in Video
Miro workshops typically require a separate Zoom call. Polybase lets you start a video call directly from the board view — discuss, draw, and decide in one unified experience.
Meeting Notes Alongside Boards
After a brainstorming session, capture meeting notes in Polybase's document editor — linked to the board and the channel discussion. No switching to Google Docs or Notion for follow-up documentation.
AI-Powered Board Summaries
Polybase AI agents can summarize board content, identify common themes from sticky notes, and automatically generate action item lists. Miro's AI offers limited assistance comparatively.
One Platform for the Full Workflow
Miro handles brainstorming but nothing else. The workflow goes Miro → Slack → Jira → Google Docs → Zoom. Polybase handles the entire chain: brainstorm → discuss → plan → build → review, all in one workspace.
