User Testimonials
	Idea Drop	MindMeister
Likelihood to Recommend	Idea Drop No answers on this topic	MeisterLabs GmbH MindMeister is ideally suited for building mind maps, site maps, or similar types of data maps in the cloud without needing to install extra software. I find that it isn't quite as ideal for other types of diagrams (ERDs, flowcharts, etc) as some other tools, though it definitely can handle those things as well.

Pros	Idea Drop No answers on this topic	MeisterLabs GmbH The UI is well laid out and easy to use. The workflow makes perfect sense and makes creating tasks a breeze. The collaboration features make brainstorming not only easy but fun! Everyone enjoys using the tool, which was not the case with other collaboration software we used. I love being able to get all of my thoughts and ideas on the screen to see them and then be able to connect them in a logical way. Incentivized Gary Shouldis Founder & CEO Read full review
Cons	Idea Drop No answers on this topic	MeisterLabs GmbH I think that the free plan should offer a bit more terms of features to make the testing experience more engaging. My experience using the App version was not so good when compared to the web version of it. I feel more comfortable using it in my notebook. Paid plans could be more flexible to support small or temporary demands. Incentivized Luciano Gardesani Marques Account Executive Read full review
Support Rating	Idea Drop No answers on this topic	MeisterLabs GmbH Never had an issue with customer support, though we never really needed anything major as far as technical help. I do not believe they offer 24 hour customer support but we don't need it as MindMeister is not the type of tool we need need 24 hour a day support for. Overall, very happy with the level of support. Incentivized Gary Shouldis Founder & CEO Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Idea Drop No answers on this topic	MeisterLabs GmbH I have also used LucidChart and Google Draw to create mind maps and concept maps in the past. I think that MindMeister is by far the cleanest and most user friendly of the three. Google Draw does not have anywhere near the same functionality. LucidChart tends to be clunky and the options to create your map are not always clear and intuitive. Incentivized Sarah Ciras Rousseau High School Special Educator Read full review
Return on Investment	Idea Drop No answers on this topic	MeisterLabs GmbH The most positive result of using MindMeister is a visualization of each step in work and connections between different nodes(ideas, steps). This greatly simplifies the work, especially collaborative work, since it is easier to show it once than to explain things many times. Negative impact: lack of offline desktop version.
