Considered Both Products
Mentimeter
Chose Mentimeter
All of these mentioned tools are great! However, Mentimeter is kind of an allrounder tool. First of all it's easy to use and anyone can login quickly and participate in the quiz/survey/QnA. Gamification is quite good, I really like the live world cloud visualisation which makes …
Chose Mentimeter
Mentimeter has some overlap in features with Kahoot, but it's more geared toward business users, with less gamification and more question types and possibilities for visualization. While Mentimeter does online polls really well, it falls short when you need more advanced survey …
Chose Mentimeter
I have used other polling/survey tools but they are less fun and boring. It was very straightforward, unlike Mentimeter, which can be very engaging and fun to "break the ice". At the end of the day, you want to gain attention from the audience so they would listen to your …
Chose Mentimeter
Most used part of Mentimeter is that unlimited users can participate in an event like- poll, quiz or word cloud while its alternative has a cap on maximum number of concurrent participation in their free plans.
Microsoft Powerpoint could be used to create polls and quiz but in …
Chose Mentimeter
I haven't used any other product like Menti before. This is my first time trying an app like that.
Chose Mentimeter
The other tool used in our company for live poll is Zoom because of its direct compatibility with Zoom calls. Mentimeter is more interactive in terms of poll questions and its biggest advantage is wordcloud. However, it being an an external tool for a conference app, it is …
ThunderTix
Chose ThunderTix
Our former system morphed into some other company I have not kept up with. They were costly, inattentive and flat out tried to back-charge us thousands of dollars. I really haven't looked back and am ridiculously loyal to ThunderTix
Chose ThunderTix
AudienceView has some of the oldest and least efficient user interfaces I have ever seen. Theres 5 different websites for the same account to access different things that are all interlinked and need to be accessed together. Ticket Spice charges a higher per ticket cost for …
Chose ThunderTix
I have looked at Event Brite. I have looked at a number of others, who I do not wish to list. I actually thought that most have a lot to offer and are probably great, but none fit us the way that Thundertix does. It would take a hell of a sales pitch to take us away.
Chose ThunderTix
Thundertix may not have all of the features as something like eventbright or bands in town, but the amount we are saving daily makes up for some of the features that may not be present. We are a small intimate venue so Thindertix is the best fit for our organization.
Chose ThunderTix
We felt ThunderTix was easier to use not to mention lower in cost to us and to our patrons.

User Testimonials
MentimeterThunderTix
Likelihood to Recommend
Mentimeter is great when you want to launch a poll question and show the audience the live result. Also in case of an open text question, the wordcloud works best as when audience types a word, it keeps getting added and displayed on screen. For words answered more, the size increases making the audience easily understand what majority have responded.

It is the cheapest and easiest to use platform, especially when compared to Ticket Spice and AudienceView. Ticket Spice is full of microtransactions and AudienceView's user interface is decades old and completely inefficient. Thundertix is easy to use and the prices are reasonable for ticket sales and supplemental packages for your account.

Cons
  • I think more brand related customisation option could be helpful
  • Reporting is basic , detailed analysis is missing
  • Integration options are less, could be made more compatible with a lot of leading tools

  • We pay a premium for the over the phone customer service. Thundertix is at such a good price point it’s worth it to pay the extra for this service. Their online customer service s great, but it can be difficult to get your point across sometimes without talking to someone on the phone.
  • Thundertix does not currently have any text message features in place. I hope to see that in the future.
  • Thundertix has many features and it can be difficult to utilize all of the features because there are just so many and they aren’t all intuitive.

Usability
The user interface is really simple to get started with, anyone can start using it. The simplicity might somewhat limit the set of features, but there are some advanced features hidden deeper down in the user interface that you can find once you're up and running and want to start improving your presentations

It's straightforward and, for the most part, easy to use and navigate. When there is an issue or problem that arises, support is usually very helpful in navigating us in the right direction. It keeps everything in order and on track, and is easy to use when trying to track down a client or previous purchases, which is important to our company

They are quick to respond to both calls and email. They also have a robust online set of documentation and tools that offer the possibility of finding your own answer. But, even if you don't use it, ThunderTix never asks the "did you check our online resources" questions. They never complain about emails or calls. They are there to help and do a fantastic job!

Alternatives Considered
Most used part of Mentimeter is that unlimited users can participate in an event like- poll, quiz or word cloud while its alternative has a cap on maximum number of concurrent participation in their free plans. Microsoft Powerpoint could be used to create polls and quiz but in that real-time response cannot be taken as it doesn't provide interactivity with audience directly [One have to use extensions/plugins and third party applications like Mentimeter to get feedbacks]. Kahoot is majorly used for quizzes and its usage is also somewhat limited to one type of engagement however Mentimeter provides a wide range of services. Poll Everywhere and Kahoot both has engagement caps on maximum audience where Kahoot can support 100 users and Poll Everywhere can support upto 25 audience in their free plans. This is a game change for Mentimeter as there is no restrictions as so in free plan on maximum audience size.

Return on Investment
  • People have to be more alert during presentations because it asks people to participate.
  • We actually get good feedback rather then if we did a presentation without Mentimeter.
