This is where our primary use case lies.,MindMeister is a very capable mind mapping tool, allowing you to create maps quickly with a wide variety of tools.
MindMeister offers great Google Drive integration, allowing you to open compatible formats very easily.
MindMeister allows importing XMind files which gives it an edge over much of the competition.,The free plan is a bit limited compared to some tools that seem more generous with their free plan or are entirely free.
The XMind import option doesn't always work perfectly. Sometimes nodes overlap and often are oriented or positioned differently than they would be if opened with XMind. However, everything is there and the structure is still correct, and that's what matters.,9,MindMeister has saved us time from having to install software on every machine we wish to view a sitemap on, which has given us slightly more time for doing work on client projects rather than administering our computers.
MindMeister has allowed us to share sitemaps with clients who were either unable or unwilling to install XMind, allowing us to receive valuable feedback to help move the project forward and increasing client trust.,Xmind, draw.io and Lucidchart,draw.io, G Suite, Google DriveBen McClureExellent Mind Mapping!2019-03-02T02:40:54.052ZMindMeister is used within the team of artists in our studio.

Integration with Meister Task
In the paid version there is a great opportunity to export to pictures and PDF. In the free version, the program imports mind maps from other programs such as Xmind, Freemind, etc.,There is no desktop version, all work is online only.
Only three maps in the free version, there is no good export, only to RTF.
Can not be paid monthly, only six months and a year.,8,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.,,Autodesk Inventor, Microsoft Visual Studio CodeMiroslav BobryshevMind Mapping with MindMeister2018-12-13T19:16:22.722ZMindMeister is being used in several departments at my school. We use it for students to create mind maps of different academic concepts, and often use this kind of program when reading a novel or textbook. It helps digitize concept mapping in a modern way, and allows for creativity within the process. It provides a way for students and teachers visually organize their data.,It has a huge amount of options and variety.
It is super user friendly, in that the buttons are visually appealing and very clear as to their function.

Multiple people were able to collaborate as we researched, ran SWOT analyses and subsequently created a plan of action for our new business.
MindMeister is incredibly user friendly and intuitive. We had all types of users participating - from our tech team, to our manufacturers. Everyone enjoyed the interface and I especially loved the ability to link and expand on topics.

This software has played a roll in many different cases for me in a few different companies. I use this software for mind mapping complex processes, functionality, features and contact information over different departments. I was employed in a remote access software company and also product development and engineering company.
This software gives you the ability to plan and scope projects, business planning so many other things using the pre-made templates and also building and designing your own from scratch, which is what I usually do.
I'm a visual learner and when I can see an overview, open certain sections to help me remember things and processes, it speeds up my ability to perform because I don't have to ask people questions because all the info is there. With organization, you can map your own mind using this software.
I highly recommend this software for those that like plotting out complex things and want to see things from a different perspective. I was able to share my maps with others for example someone in sales needed to know overviews of processes, pricing for different tiers or different versions of our releases, I was able to break down these things in a simple way so my colleagues could understand. This is much better than reading a manual or a typed document and it's cloud based so you can always access this even on a mobile device.,Strategic planning and mapping out processes or functionality. You can add files, attach links and notes to any area of the map. Various tools to highlight specific topics and levels of importance.
Many templates to choose from that fit many different backgrounds, industries and projects.
They offer a free account for those that want to try this out, giving you 3 maps to use.
For any visual learners, this is the ultimate way to take notes and simplify the way you document information.
Affordable subscription pricing.,I honestly do not have any, it works great for me.,10,I've used this on a personal level and shared my maps with people that work with me, it's never impacted negatively.
Pricing is very low for so much functionality so I don't see this impacting small businesses in a negative way. Enterprise level I'm not sure.
Building a detailed map can take time, the good news is that it will help other people speed up their learning and information recognition.,None,TeamViewer, Basecamp, WordPressChris GlandonBest Mind Mapping Software Ever!!!2017-08-04T21:58:47.402ZI currently use MindMeister for my engineering skills improvements. I used it successfully during my preparation for one of the most difficult certification that I got so far, which was the PMP certification. I`ve tried many other mind-mapping programs but MindMeister is far the best. Every student and person that aims for improvement in their knowledge should give it a try. Definitely, it will work 100%.,Best user-friendly environment.
Automatically saving. Use of Googles Drive or local folder.
Interaction with Youtube during searching process.,Could have a kind of possibility for use the active recall methodology, with space repetition integrated.,10,Murilo Pinto, PMP®Visualise complex structures2017-11-03T14:54:46.604ZI used my own MindMeister account because the company tools were too rigid and didn't have the capabilities to graphically model and illustrate complex dependencies and structures.,Easy to add new ideas
The automatic 'split into topics' function when pasting text from other sources
Easy to add Links to other maps and also to webpages etc.,Maybe the home view (my maps) could have a graphical representation
Would like a function to open my latest map
Would be nice to have the choise 'add new idea' by right clicking on a 'parent' idea.,8,It helped me setting up a rough project structure enabling the right product delivery at the right time,Freemind and VisioVerified UserMaster the Mind with MindMeister2016-10-31T21:59:43.794ZWe use MindMeister to design our offerings: podcasts, literature, presentations, and books. It allows us to coordinate our workflow. Everyone uses it. Our work requires both brainstorming and piecing together the disparate products of research. MindMeister's flexibility is critical. It allows us to rapidly change our designs at both micro and macro levels.,Their ability to edit while in search mode is brilliant. Large maps don't have to be opened to make additions and changes. It's a sensational feature.
My ability to add to and reverence my maps from a browser, my iPhone and my Apple Watch helps deal with our various sources of research information.
MindMeister makes collaboration easy. I don't have to pay for every person that needs to see a map.,I wish collaborators could add comments without having to be given editor privileges. A "Reviewer" role would be helpful.
I would like to be able to toggle note visibility on and off. If there is a way to do it now, I haven't found it. As it is, I have to hover or use the sidebar to see notes.
Two or three times I have seen my nodes spontaneously reverse order in a big map (over their recommended limit). Even so, they are working on tracking the issue down.,10,I haven't done ROI calculations for MindMeister. For what we pay, it would be a ridiculously high number anyway.,FreeMind, yEd and FreeplaneChip NowacekThe best Mind Mapping software: nothing to install, so easy to use, so easy to share and collaborate!2016-08-30T22:24:41.669ZMindMeister is used across the entire organisation, at varying levels, and for different purposes. We do not enforce its use. It is there as a tool to aid teams when relevant.,Quick capture of meeting minutes and actions.
Quick means of capturing ideas and the thought process in meetings and workshops.
Quick means of capturing and mapping processes as they are talked through in meetings.
Being cloud and browser based, teams and clients do not need to install any special software, and it's easy to share and collaborate on files.
Having a very simple and intuitive interface means non technical users are not phased by it,It is still quite restrictive in terms of only working for mind maps and organisation charts, if it allowed the user to create process flow diagrams, this would be amazing.
Sometimes it struggles a little when the mind maps become large and complex.,10,Increased speed at which we can capture, share and translate complex business requirements.
Increased speed at which we can create content maps (instead of using complex software such as Axure).
Enabled better collaboration with clients as they don't feel any technical barriers with adopting a piece of software.
Reduced the need for more licenses of Axure to be purchased.,SimpleMindJames Carrington
