It is not just a tool, but an important means of synchronous and asynchronous interaction and communication. It can be used both for personal reasons (organising trips, activities, book reviews, study notes) and for professional reasons in teams and to support entire organisations. > > **Cons**: I really appreciate how user friendly it is and full of templates you can use and customize for any need. Also great is the customer care and IT support. ----- ### "Excellent tool for ideation and collaborative processes" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *1 April 2022* | Information Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The tool includes many functionalities to share ideas and customize boards for almost any king of collaborative process (Design Thinking, Agile Ceremonies, Kanban boards, etc). > > **Cons**: Maybe simplicity of the tools, when you are using the tool for a long time and get familirez with it, you going to need some strongest functionalities ir order to cover more ideas that come to you during the creation of boards. > > At the top of the tools that I use for collaborative process. I compare with other tools as Miro and Lucidchart and Mural is the best for far. ----- ### "Good, but not made for designers" — 3.0/5 > **Audrey** | *23 June 2022* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Mural is pretty good and usable, but there are some limitations for certain people/workflows. It’s definitely tailored toward people who host workshops, retros, etc., so if you’re doing that, I think Mural will be perfect for you. It’s got an integrated timer and tons of templates you can choose from. Oh\! And I appreciate whoever’s idea it was to name every single color. :) > > **Cons**: Making a table or grid is impossible. I use Mural mostly for sharing copy-related work so there’s a lot of text heavy stuff I need to write in there. Making my own table takes so much time (is the connection tool technically the line tool????) but that’s the best way for me to organize info a lot of the time. Also frustrating is double-clicking and creating a sticky note instead of a text box. If there was a way to change this default option, it would save me a LOT of time. Infinite Canvas is a great addition but can we lower the opacity on the dot grid? It is very loud. ----- ### "Mural is the corporate version of Miro, it feels sluggish and uninspiring" — 4.0/5 > **Nick** | *22 February 2022* | Market Research | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: It does what it says on the tin. You can still manage your way around in the app, it's just that it doesn't inspire much in the way Miro does. Templates are unappealing, fonts are unappealing and it takes effort to adjust everything to your own liking, more than it should. > > **Cons**: I just really miss using Miro to be honest. Mural has everything Miro has, but in a lesser form. It's like Powerpoint vs Keynote. Powerpoint definitely will get the job done but if you want to have more control or use advanced features you will want to use Keynote. As a designer I miss that in Mural. In that same fashion, Mural also allows you to have more administrative rights over others, just like Powerpoint can force you to use company templates in limited ways. > > It's for online collaboration mostly. ----- ### "Mural makes remote brainstorming sessions even more fun than in-person" — 4.0/5 > **Kim** | *6 September 2024* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Mural makes brainstorming sessions very fun. Which is especially important for teams that mostly work from home. > > **Cons**: It takes some time to master Mural to use its full potential. ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/101777/mural?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/101777/mural) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
