Mural is enterprise-first, built for the strictest security standards and regulations. That's why 95% of the Fortune 100 consider Mural an essential part of their workflow.
Lucidspark is an intuitive innovation canvas for anyone needing to ideate and brainstorm, not limited to: UX/UI designers, Agile teams, Product Managers, CX researchers, and Developers.
Mural has made doing virtual workshops a lot easier, and kept them engaging and fun. I like how there are so many visual options like stickers and icons to help people express ideas.
Navigating around the screen can be a little weird, especially if a lot of people are on at the same time.
Not only is this a wonderful and functional app, but it's beautiful to use. It's as aesthetically pleasing as it is soothing to my designer's need to get my ideas across and organize them.
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).
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.
That you have to pay for the product- not all users are on baord.
Another feature that is my most favorite is its integration power that enables me to integrate with all the useful applications of my interest in a very unique way.
Sometimes the web visualization gets stuck or shows blank boards where they should have content, but a quick page refresh generally fixes it.
I had the opportunity to make some very nice and useful presentations for my colleagues.
I'm not often likely to use other computers and having yet another browser window open is a bit of a pain.
I like the simplicty, how easy it is to start with a template or make flowcharts and create diagrams. The UI looks very appealing to me and the automatic sort by category is very useful.
I did not find anything that stood out as being hard to use with this software.
Being a big adherent of providing outstanding user experiences, I can definitely say that the team behind Lucid are not just kindred spirit, but masters of the art.
Not quite as advanced as Mural or Miro. Missing some facilitation features.
Specially with COVID remote working from home situation, I found it to be really useful to do whiteboarding for the team and ideation. I don't think there's a better solution out there to be honest.
The options for templates seem a little limited right now.
Andrew: Hi, my name is Andrew. I'm an SEO manager. And I would give MURAL a four out of five. For more reviews like this, see below. MURAL allows our team to collaborate in real time with almost a whiteboard type experience, which has been great, especially during the pandemic where teams are remote. My favorite thing about MURAL is the easy to use interface. It really is very straightforward and very easy for team members to get on board quickly with. One thing I would like to change about MURAL is the lag time, that occasionally occurs when driving round sticky notes. It's not significant enough to track from the experience, but it is something that I would like to change.
Lucien H.: So, my name is Lucien, I'm the VP of go-to-market for a company called Liven, which is a company founded in Melbourne, in the food tech space, that is scaled to Singapore, Indonesia, and America, and I would give Lucidspark a four out of five. Before using Lucidspark we actually used to use a tool called MindMeister, but upon looking at Lucidspark, we realized that the capabilities and power for the company were much greater. We ended up choosing Lucidspark for a number of reasons, the first being that Lucidspark has fantastic real time collaboration and capability. So, in MindMeister everyone can contribute, but there isn't really a real time component, and definitely for a distributed team, that can make it quite difficult to track what's going on in real time, so that was excellent. The second thing about Lucidspark was the vast amount of integrations, and as a tech business, we have a lot of platforms, so integrations was really, really important. And the third reason is that Lucidspark, of course, plugs into Lucidchart, which is the other component of their platform, and we use Lucidchart quite regularly as well. So, having the vertical integration of the two together was beneficial for us. Getting started with Lucidspark was really quite straightforward, as I said before, our team has used similar tools, so the knowledge gap wasn't too large. The most important thing I think was the change management component, because Lucidspark actually has quite a lot of power, there are different templates that can be used, and it's also about ensuring that the team understand how to get the most out of the tool. Because you can create maps, you can use templates, you can collaborate in real time, but oftentimes the most important thing to take away from a tool like Lucidspark is how do you disseminate all of the information that you came up with during the collaboration, and then how do you pull that into a tool like, let's say, ClickUp, or another project management tool, to actually execute that and drive results. If you're looking to use Lucidspark, I would probably recommend looking at the pricing. I think one thing that can be a bit of a blocker is it is on the more expensive side, so depending on the stage of your business, and the budgets that you have to be able to put forward for a collaboration tool like Lucidchart, that's definitely something to consider, and in addition to that, you really need to do a bit of a feature comparison between Lucidspark and the other tools out there. There is another tool that we do use in parallel called Miro, we do give our teams the flexibility to choose their own tools, and there are some benefits from Miro, specifically around the ability for the community to develop templates and then share those on Miro. But other than that, I think those two things are the most important for considering Lucidspark.
