No. As of September 16, 2026, Miro's public Enterprise and pricing pages do not list a customer-managed on-premises edition. Organizations looking for a Miro enterprise on-premise option will not find one there. Miro offers a hosted Enterprise service with security, administration, developer, and regional data-residency options. Organizations that require deployment inside their own infrastructure can evaluate Boardmix private deployment, subject to a technical and compliance review of the proposed configuration.
Ask Miro directly whether it offers a non-public deployment option that meets your requirements.
What Miro Enterprise Offers Today
Miro's current Enterprise offering includes organization administration, SSO and SCIM, audit and governance controls, regional data hosting, Enterprise Guard options, APIs, Web SDKs, Live Embed, and customer-success services. That is a substantial hosted enterprise product; it should not be described as insecure simply because it is not on-premises.
For a hosted Enterprise evaluation, turn each important control into a test. Provision and remove a user through the chosen identity workflow, change a sharing policy, retrieve the administrator evidence the review team needs, and confirm which data types follow the selected residency setting. This establishes what the hosted option actually satisfies before the team decides that infrastructure ownership is essential.
Governance, residency, and operation answer different questions. Governance controls what users and administrators may do. Residency describes where specified data is handled. Operation identifies who maintains the application and underlying services. A procurement comparison should show all three because strength in one area does not automatically answer requirements in the others.
Why Regional Data Residency Is Not On-Premises
Miro's data-residency documentation says that in-scope production data, backup data, metadata, and compute can stay in supported regions. This can help an organization meet data-management obligations, but Miro still operates the hosted service. On-premises deployment instead places the application within infrastructure governed by the customer or its designated operator.
| Question | Hosted regional residency | On-premises deployment |
|---|---|---|
| Who operates the application? | The SaaS vendor | The customer or designated operator, according to the contract |
| Where does data reside? | Within supported vendor regions for in-scope data | Within the approved customer-controlled environment |
| Who manages upgrades? | The SaaS vendor | Defined jointly or handled by the customer, depending on the product |
| Does either model guarantee compliance? | No; controls and evidence must be assessed | No; infrastructure ownership alone is not a compliance certification |
Boardmix Private Deployment Options
Boardmix publicly advertises intranet, private-cloud, public-cloud, single-node, and clustered deployment methods. It also lists enterprise permission controls, member management, activity logs, customization, and technical support. Buyers should use those statements as the start of due diligence and confirm the exact topology, data flows, network requirements, feature scope, update process, and support model in the proposal.
The Boardmix SDK is a separate evaluation path for teams that need to embed visual collaboration into an internal product or portal. SDK integration should not be treated as automatically equivalent to a full standalone private deployment.
What a Private-Deployment Proposal Should Explain
Request an architecture diagram and bill of materials for the proposed environment. The response should name application services, data stores, search and cache components, outbound endpoints, supported versions, and sizing assumptions. It should also cover update and rollback procedures, monitoring ownership, backup and disaster-recovery steps, and the evidence available to security reviewers. It should identify any feature or integration that differs from the public SaaS edition.
Common Enterprise Scenarios
- Isolated internal collaboration: focus on network dependencies, offline operations, administrator access, and update delivery.
- Private cloud: clarify account ownership, network boundaries, managed services, keys, logs, and support access.
- Embedded whiteboarding: evaluate SDK authentication, tenant separation, customization, release compatibility, and data ownership.
- Regional hosted service: assess residency scope, subprocessors, identity, sharing, retention, and contractual controls.
When On-Premises Is Actually Required
Translate the request for on-premises software into testable constraints. Some organizations must keep all application services and content on an isolated network. Others primarily need a particular data region, customer-managed identity, contractual support controls, or documented subprocessors. The solution set changes significantly once the underlying requirement is clear.
Ask legal, security, IT operations, and the business owner to approve one shared requirement list. Include acceptable hosting locations, outbound network rules, support access, encryption and key ownership, recovery objectives, availability targets, log retention, AI restrictions, and the evidence needed for approval.
Questions to Ask Before Choosing an Alternative
- Is self-hosting a legal requirement, an internal policy, or a preference?
- Which board content, metadata, logs, backups, and AI data are in scope?
- Which identity, provisioning, audit, retention, and export controls are mandatory?
- Which services require outbound access or a vendor-operated license component?
- Who patches, monitors, backs up, restores, and upgrades the platform?
- Which features differ from the public SaaS edition?
- What evidence will security, privacy, and legal reviewers receive?
How to Evaluate a Move from Miro
Do not begin with a bulk export. Inventory active boards, owners, guests, integrations, comments, retention obligations, and embedded files. Then import a representative sample, compare it with the source, and run both platforms in parallel until acceptance criteria are met. The Miro-to-Boardmix migration guide lists supported direct-import objects and fallback options.
Use the pilot to estimate work rather than only checking whether a file opens. Measure repair time, permission reassignment, link updates, template rebuilding, integration changes, user training, and help-desk demand. Assign an owner to every exception and keep a source export plus an agreed rollback procedure until the migrated workflow has completed a normal business cycle.
For a broader architecture checklist, read the Miro self-hosted alternative evaluation guide. Organizations with a defined requirement can then request a Boardmix enterprise consultation.
Use a Written Proof of Concept
Give each shortlisted vendor the same proof-of-concept script. Test deployment, identity, role changes, external sharing, administrator logs, backup and restoration, representative board performance, an upgrade, a support request, and a complete export. Record the observed result, evidence, responsible owner, and any contractual dependency.
A successful demo is not the same as production acceptance. Require architecture and data-flow documentation, a list of included and excluded features, supported infrastructure versions, operational procedures, security evidence, and an agreed remediation plan for every gap discovered during the pilot.
