MURAL Reviews in January 2025: User Ratings, Pros & Cons

Killer Way To Digitize Design Sprints

What do you like best? It's extremely free form and easy to get ideas onto a canvas quickly. It accepts multiple inputs (even websites) via drag and drop. Group voting is a great feature too (especially for remote teams). What do you dislike? It's quite expensive and they don't have a free version. Larger teams may have to lobby to get it paid for. It's totally worth it if the team uses it though. Recommendations to others considering the product: If you'd start or end any ...

Great tool for virtual collaboration sessions.

What do you like best? Mural is really intuitive and user-friendly. It has also been planned quite well, but is not unnecessarily designed in such a way that innovations are not blocked by excessive capital. I love how it helps teams to build their own way of working, and it also feels cohesive. The training resources are excellent, in particular the frequency of live training and backstage training is incredibly useful for fast on-board training. What do you dislike? Can't copy ...

Mural - A wonderful collaboration tool!

What do you like best? Mural is easy to use and allows teams to come together easily and collaborate in a visual environment where ideas can quickly come to life. Mural also makes it easy, when collaborating to work in cohort and discuss ideas as they arise. What do you dislike? Occasionally, things get moved by the slip of a mouse. Remember CTRL+Z to undo and you will be fine. Recommendations to others considering the product: Highly recommended! Easy to use! Fully ...

Mural is my main tool for online whiteboard use cases. Reduced amount of tools, i need to handle.

What do you like best? Templates for many use cases, that are relevant to me. Low entry barrier for template-supported use cases. What do you dislike? Sometimes the locking is unclear to me, so participants unintentionally move parts, that should be fix. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? All kinds of online workshops, trainings, Scrum Events(Story Mapping etc). >50% lower effort with templates and guides compared to ...

The best drawing board and virtual planning room

What do you like best? Mural is a platform that is easy to learn and is fully customizable. It has a library of templates that can get you started. There may be too many templates to choose from but you'll eventually learn which ones would be useful for you. In any case, you can always start tabula rasa and shape the layout and content however you make it. I have a graphic design and information architecture background so maybe that helped speed up my learning curve. I love how it ...

Amazing Whiteboard Collaboration Space

What do you like best? Mural is super intuitive to use and easy to connect with colleagues and external partners. What do you dislike? Zooming in and out of the whiteboard space can be tricky when not using an iPad. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Mural allows me to coach clients remotely. Without Zoom and Mural I just don't see how remote agile coaching would be possible.

A great way to share and plan interactively, remotely, in real time

What do you like best? Mural is the best tool my team has used so far to do remote retrospectives and planning. Being able to see things live, without going through a single scribe is just really nice. We use it for project planning, ideating, sprint reviews and retrospectives, and as a sketchpad. What do you dislike? With a tool like this, there will always be things that aren't perfect. For example, sometimes selecting the right items can be wonky, especially when it comes to ...

Knew This Would Be Great Before COVID

What do you like best? Before finding Mural, I had been waiting for this product for 5+ years. Precursor sites had a similar methodology, but they were single task and did not have the moderator tools to guide and direct large remote audiences. 1) Great approach to digital stickies; 2) web interface works on ipads , touch and desktop,;3) Moderator tools 4) The pre-built templates and the ability to load my own. What do you dislike? Very little. I would like to have a protective ...

No more dull meetings!

What do you like best? I'm an engineer, and by nature, I like to be able to walk up to a whiteboard and sketch out ideas as I discuss them with my colleagues. With everyone being remote these days, this is something I sorely miss. The whole idea of how Mural is just a huge whiteboard bridges that gap - and the way Mural does it so intuitively and simple, makes it easy to focus on the problem we're trying to solve, versus focusing on the tool. The way it should be. What do you dislike? ...

Feedback from person using Mural for teaching

What do you like best? Possibility for interaction. Learning is much easier when students and us staff can visualise things for learning. Already made Murals, because one can get nice ideas from them. What do you dislike? Sometimes when you lock stuff, suddenly they are no locked anymore. What problems are you solving with the product?
