Klaxoon, a Wrike company vs. Mural

It can be a good tool for workshops or interactive presentations. but the complex UI/UX design is a hindrance. It can easily alienate new users and make them look for other programs. It can also be a suitable application for company employees who work more regularly. I would rather have a special license for Education.

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.

• Simple and intuitive boards.
• User-friendly “templates” that make it easy for most users to get started using it as a teamwork space.
• Like most other companies we rely on Microsoft and Microsoft teams. This software solution integrates with teams, which I really like.

Incentivized

• Ability to follow other users' cursors makes it easy for a group to understand what a particular person is explaining
• Drag-and-drop components for ease of use
• Quick and easy way to provide access to internal/external users as MURAL (formerly Mural.ly) is a SaaS product

Incentivized

• Just maybe some fine-tuning here and there about some choice in terms of UI and maybe trim down a bit some graphically appealing things which are sometimes taking over the effectiveness
• The solution is really rich and maybe including more tutorials would be great to reduce the learning curve when using more advanced capabilities.
• I wish the session functionality would give me more freedom to switch between different activities and reactivate some e.g. a survey. It's easier to make a mistake with sessions to close activities by accident.

• It'd be nice that the zoom regulation could be easier to manage
• The advanced features are a little bit easy to adopt. Why not adding some agile trainings, or some other tools to facilitate their adoption
• A faster and easier way to Integrate with ms office

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.

Chat support tends to get back to you within a few hours and are always helpful.

Klaxoon helps to facilitate the collaborative environment for decision-making processes to assess a situation, analyze the root causes of problems in a collective manner, improve processes, reach an agreement and define an action plan. We have implemented this tool for different projects and to work with customers, for small and large groups, face to face or remote, leveraging templates or creating our own.

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.

• During the COVID lockdown I organized and led seminars (30-90 participants), workshops and training sessions (5-20 participants) thanks to Klaxoon.
• the tool helps me stay engaged remotely, klaxoon allows me to stay in touch with my teams and stay up-to-date on topics.
