    It is well suited for a quick prototype of product/development planning to show relationships amongst the APIs used. This helps developers understand the impact of the product changes and identifies the need to update integration components to avoid erroneous deployments. I have not personally experienced a less appropriate scenario at the moment.

    How was it well suited to me? - The leaderboard and freedom to edit the quiz. The fastest finger quiz to announce the winner based on fairness. The ease of login through QR Scanner. Also, it did not pinch my pocket at all. The best part is this $25 earning opportunity via feedback :-). And the list goes on... The less appropriate part was mentioned earlier in ways that I see improvements with Slido, coming to utilize Slido everywhere and in various ways. Overall, I love the AI suggestions.

    Pros
    Corel Corporation
    • Allows me to learn by organizing notes.
    • Enables me to create and present strategic plans.
    • Empowers me to present complex concepts in a different and straightforward way.
    • Captivates my audience when I prepare and present a conference, a class, or a seminar in MindManager.
    • Allows me to share mind maps in a variety of formats like JPG, PDF, and HTML.

    • Slido integrates well with Microsoft PowerPoint which is very much useful for us.
    • The post poll dashboard reports are very much insightful.
    • Shareable links are created easily with Slido. Also, this saves a lot of time and manual effort for us.

    Cons
    Corel Corporation
    • There should be some more functionality in the Notes window, such as a "Paste Special " Icon in the notes area to maintain format control.
    • Although I create many of my own Web export templates, an add-on for web export design would be great, as I regularly create Interactive Electronic Technical Publications (IETP) in HTML export format.
    • The ability to sync Map shortcuts between devices would also be welcome. I use MM on three devices, and I have to add or amend the Map list individually. My maps are on OneDrive, so using them should not be that hard if they are cloud-based.

    • I miss the Slack integration; they used to have this and they deprecated it in the last year or so.
    • I believe they have a nice integration for PowerPoint, would be nice if they had something similar with google slides since that is what we typically use internally.
    • We use the word cloud feature often and sometimes answers seem to get lost (as in don't show up at all) on the screen. for example, an answer will be there, then as more answers come in it disappears, and when we get to a certain threshold of answers it somehow pops back up again. It's not the worst but sometimes someone will ping me that their submission didn't make the word cloud and they're bummed.

    I feel the main issues of the old Mindjet seem to be gone with the
    Corel purchase. With the huge advance of sharing via browser HTML even 1
    user can affect many. And, actually, using MM kind of forced my rigid
    brain to rethink how I categorize and classify information/projects.
    The
    idea of paying $69USD for an annual cost is more than fair and a great
    model for Corel/Mindjet to keep rolling out improvements!

    It gives High engagement of audience or trainees during live workshops and easily connect with other software. Ease of use for both participants and host for live interaction and workshops. Since it doesn't require any app to download and can be used via browser. It understands the issue of users and gives updates time to time.

    Usability
    Corel Corporation
    MindManager is very intuitive. The user interface is not cluttered and the ribbon icons are easy to understand. Several excellent "how-to" videos are available on the MindManager site as well as on YouTube. MindManager starts quickly and the user interface is very responsive. Launching other programs from MindManager such as Excel is very fast and issue free. The browsing feature is lightning fast. The drag-and-drop capability is also very fast and reliable.

    Overall, it is a handy tool. We do not use it too often in meetings; we started using it creatively for quizzes and Q&A with radio/TV audiences. Producers or Sponsors often explicitly request the option to include this particular type of interaction, and we are happy to do so. It helps that the setup is easy, so is copying events, etc. I sometimes miss Switcher (for our live events), but I understand the reasons it was phased out

    I had to use the support for this tool only once. The response was very rapid, very professional and fulfilled my needs immediately. Online support services are sometimes advertised only to lure people into buying the product but and non-existent or difficult to use afterwards. Not with Slido. This was not an automated chatbot and the direct contact really helped me

    I find that training is very informative as it helps understanding the software usages and implementation. It gives the usgaes area and how to create gamification and live Q&A section so that you can use in live team meetings and workshops. It is very useful in training and webinars where a large pool of people are there.

    MindManager stands out for its wide range of export options, customization and how they have enriched the format over time. As a constantly evolving tool, and having tried others, I consider it superior for the abovementioned reasons. Its cross-platform nature has been decisive, and although there are many alternatives in the form of web applications or the like, MindManager presents itself as a more complete and robust option.

    I find Slido a bit easier to use than Poll Everywhere and other live polling software that I've used. While other software offers similar features, I've found that Slido's setup is a bit more intuitive and makes it easier to duplicate polls you've made for reuse. You get the most bang for your buck with Slido's basic plan compared to other polling software's basic tier.

    Return on Investment
    Corel Corporation
    • For a single person business presentation it is a plus.
    • Project difficulty is well assessed using the map.
    • Giving away a paper version of a map is a positive gesture. People like the map, the look, and what it says, and it may also be a way to promote MindManager to them.
    • Keep the PDF or JPEG saving capabilities for small customers like me. It's important.
