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 …
Zoom I feel is more like Google Meet the way I use it, which is just the video conference platform. I'd say Microsoft Teams has the most integrated and polished suite but they won't let you meet with users outside of your business without having to setup accounts first. Zoom, …
In Google Meet, we cannot access the screen, and in AnyDesk, we cannot talk with the person we connected with. But in Zoom Meeting, we can do all 3 things together. And the addon features are document sharing, an AI companion. These are the differentiators that are taking Zoom …
I have been using Zoom Workplace from the very beginning. It is something I am used to so suddenly changing to other application were not so comfortable since i know this application were not so comfortable since i know this application too wel and I like all it's features be …
As I said I have been using since my early college days so this is something I know very well compared to these two tools, so when I workplace had this tool in the option I obviously picked this tool and from then it's never let me down and other tool features are very …
Zoom Workplace is a simpler and easy to deploy software and can be run on low performance machines too. Its UI, wide use and data encryption policies made it a perfect choice.
Zoom seems like a better total experience than Teams. It offers a more consistent experience and an easier-to-use GUI. It manages meetings against your calendar more nicely and allows you to join meetings when the room isn't booked more easily than its counterparts.
With Skype for Business being discontinued, it was no longer an option for us to use. The older technology does not compare to Zoom Workplace. Microsoft Teams is just as reliable as Zoom Workplace for video conferencing and chat. The integration that Microsoft Teams has with …
Compared to them the webinars and video meeting environment is much better here and it's much more reliable here. Also we saw audio and video quality here.
Zoom is approximately equal to Webex in terms of features and functionality but integrates poorly with other M365 platforms as well as 8x8, so we chose Teams as our primary meeting and calling platform to have a more successful rollout and integration with our existing …
I prefer Teams overall and would place Google in third with Zoom in third, however all are functional. Zoom was not ultimately selected as the long term solution but would have been fine if it had been. If meeting software was Apple vs Android, Zoom would be Apple, and I'm a …
Again, I think Zoom is easier to use, offers more features, and has much better video and audio quality than its competitors. We were able to consolidate tools with Zoom and remain in compliance with our internal security policies. It is also just super easy to use.
Zoom is the mothership of all meeting products. It has stood the test of time through Covid, and all the other platforms are constantly playing catch-up, with features like backgrounds, filters, audio settings, captions, and transcripts. It's great to be able to move camera …
Going to the meeting was more difficult for the external stakeholders. Zoom allowed people outside of our org to easily join a meeting without forcing them to download anything.
I personally like Zoom the best. The interface is super easy to use and I really like the quality of the sound and the video. I would put it as a clear leader compared to Meet and Teams.
MS Teams is currently being used internally, it is also a very good product. MS Teams is excellent when connection to office applications and office personel are crucial in a secure Microsoft environment. Zoom is better for non-technical persons.
Zoom Workplace stacks up better than Microsoft Teams in terms of general meeting capabilities, webinar and live event capabilities, user experience, and how slick it is generally - it's a nicer environment where things feel more intuitive and professional. Teams is laggy and …
- Less aggravation for our clients - better quality audio and video - better whiteboarding - AI summarization - all in one collaboration - ubiquitous, known and familiar to most people around the world - simple, very easy to set up and use - ease of scheduling meetings - …
As I mentioned before, Zoom Workplace offers many more options (integration with multiple apps, AI support, high-quality recordings, multi-participant meetings, etc.). Furthermore, since Zoom Workplace is the leading platform, it's easier for my clients and other professionals …
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.
Zoom Workplace is ideal for many businesses, more so because it saves money by uniting different functionalities into one app - meetings, messaging, phone, and scheduling. The tool keeps teams connected thanks to the amazing collaboration and communication features. In addition, Zoom Workplace is helpful for businesses with a hybrid team, thanks to its effortless connections.
It offers amazing unified collaboration features, including Zoom whiteboard, Zoom team chat, and integrated mail and calendar.
Zoom is a great meeting solution, with features like smart recording, breakout rooms, and personalized video and audio, making it a functional business meeting tool.
It is equipped with amazing AI features that help summarize meetings, generate content, and provide quick catch-up, allowing one to ask AI questions without interrupting meetings.
Allow a way to group individual people chats - not channels just individual peeps into groups for ease of finding - like how you can group shared calendars into sections in Outlook
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.
Zoom is made for the non tech office. It has features that can be made to do what you need to run things on a day to day basis. Immediately we we able to get meetings going with remote employees. The ability to be able to add smartphone connected people was a big plus. Zoom met our needs at the time.
There have been less than a handful of outages during our two years with Zoom, and whenever there was one, an email informing us of the outage went out immediately, and they had the issue resolved shortly thereafter.
Zoom has among the best performance of any video conference platform, as I've mentioned several times. Besides that, their Chat platform works great, and their back end always runs smooth. It's unfortunate that reporting can now only be done by one month at a time, but nonetheless, it only takes a second to run any kind of Zoom report, whether it's an attendee report, Poll results, a user report, a list of meetings from the past month, etc.
Because I got a response right away, and was assigned one specific individual to work with me from the beginning to the resolution. I had an actual email address and direct contact with this person without having to start over and over every time I contacted Zoom - this singular individual remained attentive and was well informed on the subject matter and quite able to resolve my needs.
If you receive any pushback from higher ups, point to any of the various positive reviews like this one. Or show Zoom's excellent Gartner report, or articles describing Zoom's partnership with Sequoia capital. It's not difficult to show how Zoom is a trustworthy industry leader with best-in-class technology.
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.
As I said I have been using since my early college days so this is something I know very well compared to these two tools, so when I workplace had this tool in the option I obviously picked this tool and from then it's never let me down and other tool features are very overlapping or hidden this tools layout is very clear and transparent the customer service is great timely response which is an another add on.
Because the Basic licenses are completely free, and because it's very easy to configure and install Zoom, and because anyone can join Zoom from a link without needing an account, scaling is a Breeze. There are absolutely no roadblocks. My company keeps adding more Zoom Pro license every week since it's so in demand. We were able to convert users from several different platforms onto Zoom with no trouble at all.
Zoom's functionality was far ahead of anything available in the early days of the pandemic.
In the last few months, the annual subscription has not appropriate for my use, so I might cancel it because I rarely use the extended session feature anymore.
I wish there were a one-shot option to purchase a single 2-hour session with all the full features (AI, recording, etc.) instead of an annual subscription.
