Azure Cards not limited to Enterprise Plan

Hi @Matt Garrett,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! You are right, Azure Cards integration is only available on the Enterprise Plan. I will definitely share your feedback with the team 

Thank you taking that into consideration :)

@Marina I would second this request.  The integration with Azure DevOps is similar in functionality to the integration with Jira.  I would like to see both as options in the same Team Plan.  Thanks!

How many other integrations are restricted to Enterprise Plan apart from the ADO integration?

+1 for the request to make it available in the Teams plan.

Is there a way to try out this app integration without making the switch to enterprise plan? In a trial period.

+1

Adding another voice to this. I’m currently working with a client using Azure DevOps. They don’t even have 50 people who would use Miro (the minimum seat count for Enterprise) let alone the budget to afford it.

I am very used to doing planning in Miro using Jira cards and assumed I could do the same with Azure cards only to discover this odd licensing restriction.

It will be cheaper to pay someone to copy and paste changes to and from ADO than it is to sign up for an Enterprise license at $20 or so x 50 seat minimum = $1000/month. It’s so frustrating when you know the integration is there waiting to be used and does exactly what you need. 😠

I've used the Jira Cards plugin in several client projects and I love it. It makes my work easier and it helps me and my team to keep a better overview of our work.

Now I'm on a client project that uses Azure DevOps instead of Jira, so I wanted to install the Azure Cards plugin. However, I discovered, it's only available to the Miro Enterprise Plan (and my company is on a Consultant Plan). Which I really don't understand because both plugins have very similar functionality.

Found this page after attempting to set up Azure DevOps integration, like others, and learned of this strange restriction. It doesn’t make sense to restrict Azure Devops to Enterprise-only accounts when Jira, a substantially similar tool in scope and adoption, is available in lower plans.

We use DevOps due to its powerful CI/CD pipelines, and because we’re a Microsoft-based company, so it makes sense to also use it for work item management. However, we are too small to justify the Enterprise plan. We’ve been Miro users for a few years now.

Miro, please reconsider this oddly lopsided decision.

Same here.

I’m the CTO of A fintech startup, not an enterprise.
We use Azure DevOps as well and we’re also based on Microsoft tech.

This is very odd to me, causing some frustrating since Jira, Confluence and other similar product integrations are not limited to enterprise.

Azure DevOps integration is similar to all other providers. You authorize Miro, use the API to extract data, normalize it to Miro cards and do the minor provider based modifications required.

The discrimination here is a bit frustrating.

We will not migrate to an enterprise solution just based on this sole integration, we’ll have to figure out other solution and limit the miro usage for our engineering teams. 

Hope this can be sorted out quickly.

Hi,

I am a huge fan of Miro and as a technical lead developer have implemented Miro with multiple companies and teams over the years and a huge advocate for the tool. But most of the companies I work with are startups and scale ups. This does not make sense to have DevOps as an enterprise feature. Not to throw shade at Jira but it does not make sense why you exclude Azure DevOps on the lower product tiers? This thread has been going for 2 years now, at least give an explanation as to why you are doing this? Either you have a deal in the background with Atlassian, or your sales team looking to make target on higher plans. If this is not addressed I’ll have to look at an alternative to your platform.

Hi there. Any update on the matter? Really frustrating to see this being left with no answer for long time, apart form the original request - seems like all other Asana/Jira Cars have a way to integrate on the Starter plans and Azure DevOps should be no different. Thanks forward.

Hi, Miro Team!

Please try to find the way to make Azure Cards available on Business Plan. For small team it is very important thing.

Same for our team. Small team and use Azure devops. Would love to use Miro for this. 

Same here. 

I upgrade from FREE to a Paid plan so that I could use Jira / Azure cards. I assumed that if Jira would work, Azure would work also. I am very disappointed and surprised that MIro has different pricing for these two identical services from different vendors. Fix this MIRO!

Same here. Very silly that this is not supported

Hi @Joost Okkinga, 

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feedback on the Azure cards. We will be sure to share this feedback with our team and update this thread if this feature becomes available to more plans.

In the meantime, for those coming across this idea, if you feel this would be helpful for you or your business, please be sure to vote for it and leave a comment about your use case to help our team scope this request!

Cheers.

I find this very strange that Jira is widely available but AZDO is available only to Enterprise plans? They are both development/work management platforms, I have no idea why Microsoft customers are penalized by Miro for using Azure DevOps.

We have a team plan, and would love to use Azure Cards in our diagramming/planning.

I am also having the same issue.  I would like to use Azure Cards the same way I can use Jira cards.. 

This is a poor feature boundary for smaller companies trying to use Azure DevOps and Miro.  I don’t even have 50 employees at my company so an enterprise plan is definitely out of the question.  

This licensing restriction is a very poor business decision on Miros part. 

We are a small tech company with 30 employees using Azure DevOps. I just ordered the Business Plan seat to test the integration Azure Cards and was quite disappointed discovering we need an Enterprise Plan to use this integration. There is no way we would be able to reach the Enterprise Plan minimum seats the next 1-2 years, hence we need to find an alternative approach.. 

In the context of teaching, especially in laboratory and practical work, students learn to use tools such as Jira and Azure DevOps. It would be interesting to have access to the Azure Card to integrate Miro with Azure DevOps. This way, students can use Miro for the analysis and design of their solutions. The same applies to research projects, which are medium-term projects lasting a few months. This comment applies to the Education version.

Thanks

Similar to everyone else. I’ve moved from a company that used Jira and found the integration with Miro incredibly useful. Now I’m working at a smaller company that simply doesn’t have the users to justify the enterprise license and I’m very surprised that this means that we can’t use the ADO integration when it is possible with Jira. This just isn’t fair and I don’t see any justification for such a discrepancy presented in this forum.

Please can you give us a response that justifies why Enterprise licensing is required for ADO but not Jira?

HI everyone,

Thank you for raising these concerns about the Azure DevOps integration. Rest assured, we are keeping a close eye on any developments from the team regarding this, and we’ll inform the community as soon as there are any updates or changes to the plans that include Azure Cards.

In the meantime, please keep an eye on the changelog for any relevant updates. Thank you for your patience and for continuing to share your use cases with us!

Hi Im just another frustrated person who has switched to a company that is under 30 people but uses Miro and Azure DevOps and is unable to utilize the Azure cards in Miro. The fact that Miro has left this thread open for 4+ years, while actively maintaining an integration just on an enterprise tier, is very sad. Hopefully Miro will figure it out.
