Mural

Avantages

Les aspects que j’ai le plus sur Mural sont entre d’autres: le fait qu’il permet de travailler en équipe sur des projets de manière créative et interactive, le fait qu’il offre une variété d’outils et de fonctionnalités pour partager des idées en équipe.

Inconvénients

Le seul inconvénient est au niveau de la compatibilité avec d’autres applications.

Inconvénients

Certains plans imposent des limites sur le nombre de tableaux que je peux créer

Avantages

Mural est un outil intuitif et agréable de collaboration en ligne, offrant le même confort et les mêmes interactifs qu’ un atelier en présentiel.

MURAL très agréable de collaboration en ligne. La collaboration sur MURAL est virtuelle mais bien réelle comme un atelier en présentiel. Il est également un important base de données des modèles (modèle d'affaire, projet, etc.) qui peuvent être téléchargés et utilisés hors ligne.

Pourquoi passer à Mural

Avantages

I was introduced to Mural by our organisation 's Germany Team. It is great tool in my point of view. We used mural board as only source for our workshops.
Mural have so many great features.
You can put so much altogether in one place.
Zoom in and zoom out at whole canvas.
It is interactive with its tables, graphs, features images, icons etc.
We can link our files, PPT etc in here.
We created interactive timelines on the board.
It's easy to use for new users as well.
It also have presentation mode which helps during presentation.
Best thing is sticky notes which can be put as feedback and honest reviews by the audience.
I loved using this tool and I will keep using it in our coming projects.

Inconvénients

However, I loved this tool but sometimes tables are not that friendly while we are presenting and want to add something. We faced this issues while our presentations.

Avantages

I really enjoy working with Mural Dashboards because their innovative content. We can see live view of changes made on board; we can work with dashboard at the same time which is important in big teams. The visual content is engaging and keeps people focused and relaxed rather than distracted.

Inconvénients

I don't like the logging process; it always asks for a password and doesn't remember my email. This part could be improved so the sessions could be longer, and browser could also save the email.

Avantages

Mural added life to the whiteboards, making them interactive and more expansive. I loved the ease of reviewing with Mural, all participants can enter their ideas and they are easily linked more than once until we reach the path that everyone agrees on. I loved Mural’s efficiency in documentation, as it records all the times of modifications and who made them with all efficiency. It is great that Mural simplifies the layout of the boards, with many options for font style and size, arrows, text spaces. I loved the ease of inserting images and charts in the required size within the same board. The connection to data sources is direct and easy, and allows us to keep the boards updated continuously. The templates are more than wonderful, and allow us to create many boards and charts and include them in reports or presentations with ease.

Inconvénients

I cannot hate any feature of Mural, its constant real-time notifications enhance the speed of response.

Avantages

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. :)

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

User centric design made with customer usage in mind

Inconvénients

How difficult it is to get our IT department to understand that this is much more than a digital whiteboard like inferior products such as MS Whiteboard

Avantages

The top choice for hosting webinars online. Attendees from all across the world can easily connect to the webinar. During webinars, I was able to better clarify topics with its whiteboard tool. A query from a guest is easily raised. Meeting attendees and organizers alike can utilize the chat feature to stay in touch.

Inconvénients

We have utilized Miro for this very purpose before. However, it was expensive and offered numerous other functions that I had no use for. And after I switched to Mural, everything ran smoothly.

Avantages

Mural makes brainstorming sessions very fun. Which is especially important for teams that mostly work from home.

Inconvénients

It takes some time to master Mural to use its full potential.

Avantages

Mural allows users to work together in real time or asynchronously, and with potentially big groups. This has helped me organize seminars for teams and include feedback from members who were unable to attend the meeting but still wanted to contribute.

Inconvénients

To begin, the interface is littered with many tools and buttons meant to facilitate collaboration; I found this to be somewhat bewildering before I had completed my first Mural.

Avantages

Mural's accessibility is second to none. Easy group work, ideation, and coordination are just some of the benefits. I've used it successfully both in-person and over the internet with a large group of people.

Inconvénients

There may be too many choices or customizations, or it may be difficult to locate the specific feature you need. The collection can be expanded to include additional types of template designs.

Avantages

My favorite feature of Mural is that it enables for the steady and continuous growth of an idea or concept over time, with contributions made offline and maintained through subsequent ruture review sessions.

Inconvénients

On sometimes, I had to refresh the website because an issue has occurred while I was dragging the post it or items around with the mouse. When I spend too much time there, this happens to me.

Avantages

Mural is my go-to tool for collaborating with groups online. The page navigation is intuitive. There are many useful frameworks and templates available to organize your work. Since moving most work online, Mural has been a critical tool to maintaining a collaborative work environment.

Inconvénients

Some of my collaborators have found Mural to be overwhelming at first but, with some coaching, they have adjusted. I find turning off others' cursors seems to help.

Avantages

I like that Mural is easy to use and allows members to collaborate on many charts. It's great that all members can participate, draw on boards, and connect ideas seamlessly. The mural is also great for having ready-made templates for most types of diagrams and covering brainstorming needs. I also like how easy it is to copy and paste, as well as edit texts on the whiteboard, and how we can change colors, add images, and do other things. It is also significant that the contents of the whiteboard are easy to format in an organized manner, as well as the ease with which they can be converted into a PDF file or an image so that they are easy to share across various media.

Inconvénients

I do not hate Mural at all, but I hope that subscription prices will be reduced, or new options will be provided at lower prices, so that we can add consultants from outside the group for temporary periods.

Avantages

Really collaborative for remote teams. Have some features that are really easy to use. And we have diverse tools for visualisation.

Inconvénients

Limited offline access which is bad. Costly for large teams and sometimes we have spikes using the interface.

Avantages

MURAL helps team members stay connected and collaborate to stay on schedule. The MURAL whiteboard is great for brainstorming and arranging interactive sessions. I adore using emojis, shapes, and colors to develop a workflow model or collect team members' opinions and perceptions on a topic for third-party sharing. I like how MURAL lets us prepare Proto-Personas, Prioritize, and Experience Map with team members. It's expressive, accurate, and describes our issue well. I like MURAL's ability to organize cards into categories and assign cards to team members so everyone is on the same page. I like that MURAL has an intuitive interface that everyone can adopt to quickly, and the presence of several ready-made templates helps prepare the proper form for the topic we're discussing. I particularly like that final renderings may be exported as an image or PDF file for simple distribution.

Inconvénients

In all honesty, it's not about finding something you might hate with MURAL, as it's like a magical drawing tablet that enables everyone to share and collaborate in all circumstances and with ease.

Avantages

I love that mural gives me the tools to dump my ideas into one place and sort them. They offer great templates that give me a way to get started without being intimidated, and I love that I can invite coworkers in this space to see my thinking and to document their thinking there as well. Great springboard for conversations.

Inconvénients

Sometimes I get a bit confused with the level of zoom and the amount of space available. I sometimes feel like my level of zoom and the sizing of the post its is not calibrated. it's hard to know how much to zoom in so that I can still read what's on sticky notes while still seeing the surrounding ones.

Avantages

It made our lives so much easier. When having a lot of on-going projects with a big graphic design team it was hard to keep track of guidelines, styles and visual references without having to constantly ask each other for guidance. In Mural we keep murals for every project, designers go here everytime they have to participate in a new or existing project and document visually how it looks like and set all the important media accessible for everyone.

Inconvénients

When we were considering it, we knew it was exactly what we needed but it was too pricey for our capabilities. After reading, we realized that they gave us a free year because we're on the education industry. This can be renewed once the year ends.

Avantages

Mural is the thing you don't think you need and resist paying for or trying because you just don't need one more digital tool in your life and workflow. Until you experience it and realize you were so wrong. It's the one tool you actually can't live without. The concept is simple: a free space to create with a simple range of options (mostly text boxes and post-it notes). Think of it like a digital whiteboard. Then try to imagine life and meetings without a physical whiteboard. Exactly.

Inconvénients

The range of options for what you can add to a Mural is somewhat limited, but that's a key part of its success. Having too many options would be paralyzing. Once you master the basic controls and options, the sky is the limit for what you can do. Lots of templates are available to help you get started or inspire you with what others have done and the Mural team is always offering support and webinars to help you explore the tool more deeply. One thing that has frustrated new users is getting the hang of controls especially if you are using on a computer (mouse vs trackpad controls are a bit different). But that is easily solved if you can get over your initial discomfort and commit to learning something new.

Avantages

The software works really well. Even when collaborating with many other users simultaneously, the "Facilitation Superpowers" are a convenient set of tools.

Inconvénients

I started using Mural on the trial version, and when the trial expired, they locked me out. I had to contact the support team, which gave me a few more days to export a PDF version of my murals. They claim to have a "free forever" version now. But I haven't tested it yet.

Avantages

One of the most important characteristics of Mural is the ease and versatility it gives to brainstorming sesion. Work with people in other countries using Mural is wonderful because all ideas can be located in the same paper and increase your productivity and get a lot of ideas to solve an specific problem.

Inconvénients

Well one of think that is important to improve or add is a tutorial for start to use Mural remember when I and our team use for the first time we spend some time trying to understand how to use it.

Avantages

This software amazes. As a displayed thinking practitioner - I have long awaited the day where paper and pen could finally be matched by digital capability. We are at the dawn of that age. Too often these tools output look like something made in Microsoft Paint. Not the case here. It's elegant is display, intuitive in UX and powerful in import (templates) and export (data) . Integration and side by side use with Office 365 suite seems flawless.

Inconvénients

Integration of stylus based writing is needed. Some other competitors offer the ability to transform one's handwriting into functional text which is lacking here. Having a stylus input option to create a "sticky note" and use your own handwriting would be next level for this product.
