No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Mural is the tool that allows you to express yourself and what you want to communicate, adapting to your needs and those of others. 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 - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Services - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. 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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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. #### Reasons for switching to Mural Mural is way easier to use and with more functionalities. --- ### Good, but not made for designers - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Audrey H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Financial Services - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: June 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### 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. #### Reasons for switching to Mural Required by company --- ### Mural is the corporate version of Miro, it feels sluggish and uninspiring - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Nick S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Market Research - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. It's for online collaboration mostly. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### 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. #### Reasons for switching to Mural Our company chose Mural as the company wide tool. --- ### Excellent planning tool - a bit challenging online collaboration - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Mining & Metals - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: October 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall, the sessions we have used Mural were very productive and in some cases we were provided with insight (from the guides) that would not be part of our original options. This is an excellent feature that elevates our performance. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros 1. Many templates and guides to use out of the box - excellent! 2. A team can be introduced / onboarded easily, especially with the self-explanatory guides #### Cons 1. The app is heavy for online collaboration when there is an issue with limited bandwidth for example #### Reasons for switching to Mural We wanted to use a visual collaboration tool with many options/templates to accommodate different needs within the same app. --- ### Mural makes remote brainstorming sessions even more fun than in-person - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Kim G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Health, Wellness and Fitness - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: September 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### 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. #### Reasons for switching to Mural Mural offers more features for the same price --- ### Mural Good for One Time Use But NOT a Long Term Strategy - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Derek O. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Management Consulting - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: June 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Easy at first, but really not good for business processes and long term scalability #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros Easy to access, and get everyone onto the platform. Fun animal names were a nice touch. The interface has improved over time but is fundamentally flawed. #### Cons Was a glorified whiteboard. For the price we would pay to support the business, Mural would do little more for us than to provide a simple whiteboard to put down ideas and discuss. Although this is nice to get ideas out there - it lacks the ability to create structure and keep things organized over time. Would find ourselves consistently looking for information as it was lost - not sure how we could've implemented the software in a valuable way in the long term. #### Reasons for choosing Mural We tried Mural for a few months but didn't find we could've used it long term and lacked a lot of the IP some other software was offering us at the time. --- ### Good, can be hard to access at the beginning - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: E-Learning - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: April 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I use it for workshop facilitation #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Best feature is the outline function which allows you to create steps into the MURAL #### Cons Commands are not intuitive Sticky notes are always the same size shapes can be a bit unflexible #### Reasons for choosing Mural It was already being used in my organisation. --- ### An excellent team collaboration and brainstorming platform - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Andrew B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Hardware - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Despite some of the functionality having an additional learning curve, Mural serves as an excellent way for remote teams (and even teams just wanting a more 'digital' brainstorming experience) to collaborate. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I love how easy Mural makes the process of visual 'mind-mapping' among remote co-workers. If we want to do an exercise, for example, that requires virtual 'sticky-notes' for brainstorming process improvements, Mural facilitates this process seamlessly. #### Cons Mural does take a little time to get up to speed on using it. You can definitely jump right in on some of the basic features, but to use some of its more advanced features (keyboard shortcuts, for example), it will take some time to learn them. #### Reasons for switching to Mural Cost - For the limited use that we were planning on using it, Miro's price would not have been justified. --- ### Great digital whiteboarding tool - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Sarah S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Retail - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: September 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I have gotten our team on board to use Mural when we'd typically use a whitebaord in meetings. it's been great for facilitating brainstorm sessions or mindmapping in our remote environment. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I find Mural more intuitive to use and less buggy than other whiteboarding tools. The app especially syncs quickly so you can use an ipad and pencil to write on the whiteboard, and have it projected through a desktop to a conference room or virtual meeting. I also like that the white boards are infinite (or at least as far as I can tell). Even though the number of free boards is limited to three, you have tons of space to work with in each one. #### Cons I don't love the provided templates; I typically end up using my own for simplicity. #### Reasons for switching to Mural Miro was getting really buggy and difficult to use. A lot of the commands changed and it wasn't as intuitive as when I first started using it. --- Showing 1 - 10 of 136 Reviews [See All Reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/collaboration/mural-profile/reviews/) ## Mural Popular Comparisons [Microsoft Teams vs Mural](https://www.softwareadvice.com/voip/microsoft-teams-profile/vs/mural/)[Google Workspace vs Mural](https://www.softwareadvice.com/marketing/google-workspace-profile/vs/mural/)[Slack vs Mural](https://www.softwareadvice.com/collaboration/mural-profile/vs/slack/)[Zoom Workplace vs Mural](https://www.softwareadvice.com/compare/101384-Zoom-Video-Conferencing/vs/101777-mural/)[Microsoft 365 vs Mural](https://www.softwareadvice.com/productivity/microsoft-365-profile/vs/mural/)[Asana vs Mural](https://www.softwareadvice.com/project-management/asana-profile/vs/mural/)[Trello vs Mural](https://www.softwareadvice.com/collaboration/mural-profile/vs/trello/)[Miro vs Mural](https://www.softwareadvice.com/project-management/miro-profile/vs/mural/)[monday.com AI Work Platform vs Mural](https://www.softwareadvice.com/marketing/monday-com-profile/vs/mural/)[Confluence vs Mural](https://www.softwareadvice.com/project-management/confluence-profile/vs/mural/)[Notion vs Mural](https://www.softwareadvice.com/collaboration/mural-profile/vs/notion/)[ClickUp vs Mural](https://www.softwareadvice.com/project-management/clickup-profile/vs/mural/)[Jira vs Mural](https://www.softwareadvice.com/project-management/atlassian-jira-profile/vs/mural/) [Compare All Alternatives](https://www.softwareadvice.com/collaboration/mural-profile/alternatives/) ## Other Top Recommended Collaboration Software [Smartsheet](https://www.softwareadvice.com/project-management/smartsheet-profile/) **4.5** (3545) Recently recommended **53** times [Wrike](https://www.softwareadvice.com/project-management/wrike-profile/) **4.4** (3039) Recently recommended **47** times [Quickbase](https://www.softwareadvice.com/crm/quick-base-profile/) **4.4** (333) Recently recommended **10** times [Autodesk Forma](https://www.softwareadvice.com/construction/autodesk-construction-cloud-profile/) **4.3** (2212) Recently recommended **8** times Stuck Between Options?
