It was being used during live presentations. It was used in a setting to gain knowledge of the audience that use the software presented in the live session. It is a straightforward question poll to gauge who the audience are to get a feel for the group.
  • It was very easy to use.
  • It provides an interactive way to engage the audience.
  • The poll can be customized to have all sorts of graphics to cater to a specific, targeted audience.
  • It asks the audience to follow the on-screen instructions to submit their poll responses--this can be challenging for a less tech-savvy audience.
  • I heard comments that some audience members had issues connecting to complete the poll, so there is room for improvement.
For the most part, I think Mentimeter can be used on all sorts of occasions to get responses. It is so easy to use and it sparks interests within the audience because you are asking them to follow along, which encourages engagement. I can hardly think of any scenario that is not appropriate. If you want to get real-time feedback from the group so the data/result can be shared right in front of them, Mentimeter does a great job as a tool.
  • The ease of putting the poll together
  • How easy it is to share the poll with the audience
  • They obviously have many options/features to customize the poll to suit any need
  • I can see the tool can be easily adopted and scale to suit any situation to get feedback. That's a huge impact.
  • Template can also be set up for companies so they can gain efficiency for repeated use.
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 presentation. Having this interactive tool will help making that connection between the presenter and the audience.

Mentimeter is widely used across different departments for various engagement purposes during webinars, seminars, team meetings etc., In today's pandemic scenario, online meets are intensively used throughout the companies and so there are strong needs for use of software/web applications for engagement purposes. Mentimeter solves the problem for long tired one-way meetings by providing tools to engage the audience in a proactive manner. It also helps presenter to come up with an interactive presentation in a noticeably brief time.
  • Engagement of the users by giving them a real time space to give their input.
  • Fast & Easy Interface to create quizzes, slides and polls.
  • Simplicity for presenter as well as for users.
  • Follow-up sessions based on user inputs and a room for real time analysis.
  • User Interface (of Quiz, Poll etc.,) should have more designs for free version.
  • Time based quiz and polls would be a plus. [ Engagement Scheduling]
  • Partial marking and time-based marking could be added in a quiz.
  • Extensions to add the engagement in PDF and Word files could also be an addition to its functionality.
Mentimeter is very useful for continuous engagements and follow ups during webinars, seminars, team meetings, online classes and surveys. Even during offfline conferences it could be well suited for increasing the interactivity.
However, it could be less effective when the audience size is too small like a group meeting or video conferencing with friends and family.
  • Continuous Engagement
  • Live Quiz and Polls
  • Feature rich Surveys
  • Word Cloud formation
  • Real-time Response
  • Follow-Ups and analysis
  • Integration with Microsoft PPT Presentation
  • Increased efficiency of decision making based on real-time feedbacks from live polling.
  • Improved engagements during various online video sessions.
  • Enriched discussions in large teams through real time quiz, word cloud and user responses.
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.

We often use Mentimeter when we want to have everyone's (or at least almost everyone's) opinion during a meeting and some people can have difficulties talking or exposing his ideas due to a number of factors (doesn't do well speaking, can't speak due to others speaking or interrupting, huge number of people in meetings). For us it is a good tool to make everyone participate, not only the one who can speak the loudest.
  • Can gather everyone's opinion in a couple minutes
  • Smartphone/tablet friendly
  • As much as we use Menti, for us there's no room for improvement. It works in its current status.
Most apropriate: meetings and seminars where we need the most inputs from the team, and we can't take turns speaking because this would take way more time.
  • Real time simulated conversation
  • Easy-to-use interface
  • Privacy (with the 8 digit code + using generic words in the questions)
  • It has increased the teams participation in the discussions during calls and meetings.
I haven't used any other product like Menti before. This is my first time trying an app like that.

Mentimeter is used across the entire organization to run live polls, quizzes, and questions during virtual calls with multiple members. Its ability to show real time analysis of the polls or quizzes helps the audience view the result instantly and makes it interactive. it is used to as part of training sessions, virtual quizzes or to capture audience responses in general.
  • To show real time results during poll
  • interactive graphs and visualizations
  • Ability to create word clouds
  • Nothing as such but at times the app takes time to load
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.
  • Live result
  • wordcloud
  • Poll questions
  • Value for money
  • Easy to use and launch
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 sometimes less preferred.

We use Mentimeter almost daily. We are a corporate training company and since most of our workshops are delivered virtually now, we have [implemented] the use of Mentimeter even further. We used to implement it with our face to face programs, but now that we have to interact from a computer, Mentimeter is one of our best tools.
  • Lets audience interact
  • Easy to access
  • Fast and reliable
  • More question types
  • The name is not very appropriate in Spanish, sounds like "mentir" which is "to lie".
  • More customization
Mentimeter is great for interacting with audiences in different scenarios: Training sessions, team building exercises, regular meetings or strategic planning. It's great for big audiences when you can't let them participate one on one, but using Mentimeter, they are able to express what they think. It's great for anonymous participation.
  • Easy to use. One of the platforms we use that people get very easily
  • Fast performance.
  • Mobile friendly.
  • Has made us more competitive.
  • Has saved time and make us more efficient.
  • Lets us interact easily with big audiences.
  • Kahoot!
Mentimeter has a more professional look and has a better price.
