Work better together. Stormboard enables users to set up meetings beforehand, capture, organize, and discuss ideas in real-time, and then assign tasks and monitor progress in a digital workspace that can be returned to again and again. Built-in templates for Agile, Project Management, and more help streamline business processes, and work can be exported into one of many dynamic reporting options. Stormboard works on any device from a 4" phone to an 85" Microsoft…
Very similar to Miro I used Trello at the beginning of the pandemic but completely dropped it when I discover tools like Mural Survey Tools have more capabilities that are required sometimes but asking client to vote directly on the board in different ways serves me well most …
We used Miro as well and it was not as intuitive and easy to use as Mural is. Most take much longer to understand how to operate Miro , whereas this is not the case for Mural. It is very intuitive and offers a cleaner layout
I like it better than Miro because MURAL's more informal feel makes it encourage conversation and use. Miro also let's you bury too much information "inside" the notes making it really easy to lose sight of important data. I like MURAL better than LucidSpark because of how …
Mural has a User Interface that is easier to understand, which allows us to bring newcomers to brainstorm and design sessions without investing time in learning. Mural has more dinamic objects that impact on the presentation and visibility of the work, like having Post it notes …
MURAL has an extensive number of features and shapes and sticky notes to differentiate between the collaborators. The chat feature is amazing on MURAL itself for amazing discussions. Having a Scenario map, empathy map, Persona grid, Team, or opportunity canvas are some of the …
Mural has many more features PLUS it is so much easier to invite guests and get them engaged right away - 100% better experience overall. I felt like Mural had many more features and felt much more like the in-person experience vs. Jamboard. It is well worth the investment in …
I have tested a number of project management, workflow, and whiteboarding tools. All of them have their drawbacks. Some are too prescriptive and too process orientated, whilst others lack the simplicity of MURAL (formerly Mural.ly).
A couple of features I particularly appreciate are the content library (even though it should be improved) and the possibility to use multiple templates from different companies. Also the call feature looks interesting, even though I never used it so far. Overall, MURAL …
Mural was easier to use and share compared with Whiteboard. Whiteboard's functionality is limited. It is also integrated into Teams in an odd way that makes it difficult for team members to refer to old whiteboards. Mural as a stand alone web app is better.
I have had an experience of working with all the three above mentioned tools--Miro, InVision, and Lucidchart--and I can confidently say that MURAL (formerly Mural.ly) beats all these three tools when it comes to performing any kind of online collaboration activities, which …
It's equal to the majority of others on offer, however, the simplicity of these products is what makes them attractive. Sometimes you don't want a product to do many tasks, only to be good at the one they were designed for
I use Stormboard for coordination because it seems easier to use than the rest. In terms of courses, we choose the software depending on our course objectives and how tech-savvy we believe the prof and audience are. Miro is more complete, I believe, it has a ton of features and …
I think the number one argument for Stormboard is the reporting functionality. These various ways of exporting the results of the collaboration in the desired format are something that I have not seen from other tools yet. It really helps to sort and gather the different …
Stromboard is filled with great numbers of sticky notes and shapes and featured for different kinds of collaboration. It has various integration with Windows, Microsoft flow, MS Teams, and OneDrive which allows users to do much more than just whiteboarding but also to open, …
When compared to Mural, Stormboard has a less modern user interface. On the other hand, they stand out with their trial program, which is very intuitive and well constructed. They also have a better price for small teams, which made a difference in the buying process.
Even though they do basically the same thing, and ActiveCollab has a few features that Stormboard does not, we went with Stormboard because, in our test cases, it performed better and gave us more options and ways of integrating it into our work flow. ActiveCollab is an …
Remote Collaboration: In a remote or distributed work environment, Mural shines. It enables teams to collaborate effectively in real-time, bridging geographical gaps and facilitating virtual meetings, workshops, and brainstorming sessions. Workshop Facilitation: For facilitators leading workshops or team-building activities, Mural provides interactive templates and tools for engaging participants and achieving specific objectives.
If you need to have control over your meetings and get everyone on board with their requirements and responsibilities, and track how far along everyone is, Stormboard will help you a lot. The problem with not having integration with SalesForce and ZenDesk is that you need to add all the information for each supplier or client, instead of having the system pull it from the other systems we use. Other than that, and the fact that the mobile app is limited, this is the best option for meeting management and follow up.
Overall, MURAL is really easy to use, but there are a couple downsides. It's really easy to make areas of the board consistent because double clicking adds stickies that match those around the current one. It's really easy to connect the elements. And it's really easy to organize elements. Inconsistent controls, Panning, Line Connections, and latency are the only issues I had. My biggest issue is that the MURAL mouse buttons are very different from most similar software. This always causes me problems switching to a graphics software or 3D modelling software. Because MURAL uses the same button to pan and move elements, it's really easy to move things when panning around. The lines can also be a (sometimes huge) problem because thew will occasionally disappear or connect to things incorrectly. I think this is tied to latency issues which, in addition to causing phantom lines, can sometimes cause confusion to your team.
I like it better than Miro because MURAL's more informal feel makes it encourage conversation and use. Miro also let's you bury too much information "inside" the notes making it really easy to lose sight of important data. I like MURAL better than Lucidspark because of how fast the pages load, especially links within the board. Any app is better than Microsoft whiteboard which is appalling unusable and feature incomplete.
Stromboard is filled with great numbers of sticky notes and shapes and featured for different kinds of collaboration. It has various integration with Windows, Microsoft flow, MS Teams, and OneDrive which allows users to do much more than just whiteboarding but also to open, create and save the documents. It can add images, links, drawings, documents, and much more.
