    Considered Both Products

    Chose Freehand by InVision
    MURAL is very similar in the type of approach we could use to walk through certain items but it lacks many features that we rely on in InVision, so we typically stay away from MURAL.

    We were using inVision Freehand at the time based on a team member's suggestion. They were familiar with it, having used it at their prior organization, so we naturally adopted it after they introduced it to the organization. However, the team quickly moved on to other …

    InVision Freehand is lacking in features compared to competitors like MURAL and Miro, but its streamlined, easy-to-use interface makes it easy to pick up and throw something together in an instant. It does not do large complex work as well as its competitors, but InVision …

    I have found that between freehand InVision Freehand, Miro, MURAL and FigJam, each product does certain things differently. Some of those products execute certain features better than others. One benefit to InVision freehand is that it's sometimes nice to have all of your messy …

    I find InVision Freehand to be a bit more user-friendly than MURAL. I find that it does not glitch quite as much and that this enables more ease in collaboration. I also appreciate the various functions that is included in the free version of InVision. It's perfect for …

    These products are very similar. MURAL seems to have more fun characters.

    The two other platforms that people have tried to get us to use are Figma and Miro. Since we have been using InVision Freehand it works much better for our teams and is within the InVision environment that we are familiar with. The InVision Freehand tools and user interface are …

    InVision Freehand is simple to use and doesn't have all the bells and whistles Figma offers - and its simplicity has a place in the workspace tech stack. We haven't tried Figma Jam yet - even though we use Figma, we still prefer Invision.

    When compared to Mural, InVision Freehand is much easier for external teams to pick up and start using because of the simple UI controls.

    I think Miro and Mural are more robust tools, but InVision Freehand is better than FigJam and Google Jamboard.

    All products are getting pretty good, but InVision stands out as the most frictionless one to use. A lot of the power is cleverly designed so that it doesn't get in the way of how differently people naturally think and operate. For example, even the presence of a grid on some …

    InVision and Lucid are approved for use. They are fairly comparable.

    I really do like Miro and its features a lot but the fact that it doesn't integrate or live with the rest of our UX deliverables makes it challenging to use.

    Chose Freehand by InVision
    I selected Invision Freehand for my purpose because it is easier to create and doesn't require a lot of technical knowledge to use. For example with FigmaJam, I feel like it's easier for designers to use because they use Figma for creating designs. With Mural I like to use …

    I honestly think all the tools mentioned above are pretty well designed and executed compared to freehand. As far as the features of freehand compared to other tools, I do not see anything unique or extra that one software does that the other software does not. So with that …

    Freehand is more a tool for design/ideation, whereas Mural is more a tool for workshop collaboration. Freehand benefits from its integration with other InVision tools and Sketch.

    InVision FreeHand is pretty similar to other tools like Miro, FigJam, and Mural. It is more a question of preference on how the tool looks and works because it is very similar in terms of features and what you can do. I guess if you used InVision Freehand before and like …
