MURAL Reviews

I like Mural. The mural is my tool to analyze my research. And now with the Figma functionality that you just added I feel that I can do everything with less effort and faster

Sometimes when I'm moving with my mouse the post it or elements, there's like an error or something that doesn't let me continue working and I need to refresh the page. This is happening to me when I spend to many hours there.

Is my tool for analyzing data. I can use it to create affinity mappings, user personas, user journeys. I love this tool. Is essential for my job. And I can collaborate with other people.

For instance, collaborating with my team members in real-time is relatively easy via Mural. We use the diagrams while in our sprints and the different templates are helpful in ensuring that we do not take much time in creating them. It has improved on the virtual whiteboard format of brainstorming session. In addition, the feature of sharing our work with stakeholders is one that I really value. In general, Mural is such that one stop shop for all our planning and visualization purposes.

Though I hate to admit it, Mural’s subscription prices may be a bit high. That makes it difficult for consultants or the people that would wish to have a momentary alternative rather than a long-term commitment.

Mural makes our brainstorming and planning phases less chaotic. Our thoughts and diagrams are put together thereby saving lots of time for us. This keeps our team in alignment and productive for the duration of the sprint.

Brings together a group of people like never before. Be it ideate, brainstorm or design -all of these are so much more easier now for distributed teams. Why didn't someone think of this before!?

Dislike is a strong word - can't say that there is anything I dislike about it - but can certainly suggest small improvements that make life easier. For instance - it would be great to be able to copy an area from one mural to another

I often have to bring diverse team members or participants together in an ideation or design workshop (sometimes in a classroom environment too) and before Mural, these tended to be low energy and hardly productive. But since I started using Mural - these workshops or classes have been so much more fun and the participants bring a lot of energy.

Mural is wonderful. It makes tasks such as journeymapping, user interviews, and value-stream mapping much easier.

I has experience in Microsoft Whiteboard first, and Mural blows them out of the water. Mural is easy to use, aesthetically pleasing, and genuinely fun to work with.

Not always easy to show new users how to work it. That comes with experience. It also is not very easy to integrate with Microsoft.

Mural is solving collaborative whiteboards, journeymapping, and collaboration for me. Its benefitting me because I no longer need to go to Google to get templates for these sorts of tasks!

The possibility to collaborate in a visual manner.

I would reinforce the integration with other collaboration tools.

The collaboration with students to solve business cases.

Intuitive and easy to use. There are pre-built templates you can use immediately. It is straightforward to start from scratch or reuse what is already there

There is a need for more graphic tools to construct presentations. It is not easy to create shapes. You have to import them from the outside.

Mural is adding more integrations every day. There is a growing number of apps that you can connect to, like Zoom.

Cloud-based with live updates. All the team members can access the cloud share, strong in file management.

Visual design, colour tone, and typography.

Projects workload, development, and progress can share with the team members, students, or clients.

Mural is the tool I use that makes my coworkers think I'm better at sensemaking than I really am. Fast, easy, expressive, Mural is great.

Literally nothing? Mural has all the features I want and more. And the price is reasonable.

Mural solves several problems for me:

1. I make a lot of diagrams (flowcharts, service journies, roadmaps, process flows) and Mural makes it easy to build all of these things with a consistent look.

2. I regularly facilitate retrospectives or user research sessions and Mural's intuitive tools for stickies and voting and timers all help make the process fun and easy.

3. I do trainings, workshops, and presentations and find that Mural's facilitator tools let me draw people to the same part of the page, have them work on things together, learn things, and build work products together.

4. When I'm doing "mesearch" or diagramming to help me research ideas for myself I often grab screenshots and organize them in a Mural.

It helps me do a better job of a lot of things I used to do without Mural and does it well with remote participants. That office sticky-on-the-wall exercise to gather ideas and do "dot voting" on them is now way faster and easier in a Mural. Whether I'm collaborating or working alone, Mural is super helpful!

Work organization for workshops and teamwork. I have initiated classes and seminars with Mural's templates allowing me to have great kickoffs for any class. It has also allowed me to introduce collaborative techniques for concept building or whenever I want to make my students reflect on processes. Teamwork will enable me to give an instruction or publish it as a guideline, and they can work together.

I have designed social processes by placing images that use design thinking.

It was not clear to me if the payment was in dollars or any other currency.

When I log in after a while, my education account sets all over.

The starting of mural was hard, and sometimes it takes me time to find things. It is not as intuitive sometimes.

It helps me to provide and land knowledge to my students. They work collaboratively during the online session or offline when tasks are provided as guides.

In contrast to other platforms, such as Jamboard or Conceptnote, it allows a more versatile way of working as a team. You can have pre-designs or use design thinking for social or knowledge processes.

Personally I like to have a whiteboard when discussing concepts, workflows, customer journey, high level system integrations, etc. With the pandemic and lockdowns, I was deprived of that until Mural. Now meetings & discussions are smoother, people are aligned and we can save time and avoid repeating ourselves again and again.

Starter plan only has 1 workspace, but it's OK since this is the product / plan offering.

Mainly on visuals for meetings and discussions.

But also time keeping.

Brainstorming and also Design thinking.

Templates help as well. and get people engaged to participate. like the spring retro for example.
