MindTouch is a versatile software that is used by various organizations for different purposes. One key use case is creating and updating knowledgebases for customers, allowing them to access the latest documentation via the web. This feature has been particularly beneficial for Cisco Infinite Video customers, who can easily find relevant information and troubleshoot issues without needing to contact customer support.

Another major use case of MindTouch is increasing the number of contributors within an organization and ensuring governance and oversight as the number of contributors grows. By using MindTouch, companies can involve both internal teams and customers in content creation, leading to a collaborative approach that enhances the accuracy and breadth of knowledgebase articles.

MindTouch is also widely employed as a solution for dynamically changing content as products mature and to stay ahead of industry changes. Its flexibility allows companies to adapt their documentation quickly, ensuring that customers have access to up-to-date information.

Additionally, MindTouch serves as an online help center where users can find dedicated and searchable documentation for software products. It is utilized by multiple departments in an organization to publish customer-facing and internal documentation, helping to update and maintain content efficiently.

Overall, MindTouch provides solutions for creating comprehensive knowledge bases, improving collaboration among teams, facilitating content updates, and enhancing customer self-service capabilities. Its versatility makes it valuable across industries, from technology companies seeking to support their products effectively to educational institutions aiming to provide a collaborative learning environment.

Users have provided valuable recommendations for using MindTouch. These recommendations include:

  • Comparing MindTouch to other content/documentation provider software to understand its benefits.
  • Prioritizing the creation of a clear content hierarchy before implementing MindTouch.
  • Seeking help from MindTouch for migration and utilizing the available documentation.

Additionally, businesses should consider having a well-organized knowledge base, being prepared for customization requirements, and having a small team focused on regularly adding content. Flexibility in requirements and CSS/HTML knowledge can enhance the implementation process. Finally, having the Premium Support package can be helpful for the initial setup and launch of the site.

Getting support is straightforward via their support center website. However, we are at the point where our support issues are more advanced and require direct contact with our representative. This is mostly due to our translation project and finding that the product doesn't meet some expectations. Therefore we have a product enhancement request.

Support is hit or miss. There have been times where I've had a meeting scheduled for troubleshooting and they don't bother to show up, nor is there any follow-up after missing the appointment. Depending on who you get, you might get good service or not. Sometimes their lack of training or product understanding leads to a lot of frustration and repeated efforts to take it up the chain. Once, I had to push back for 3 months before they finally submitted the request to product to fix a bug.

Support was significantly improved during the time I worked with MindTouch. I wish MindTouch would facilitate a community area for customer discussions (there used to be one). For example, web forum, listserv, Me Too lists and things like that.

For the most part, the support we have received has been great. Our Customer Success Manager is always willing to hop on the phone with us to answer any questions or help explain new features. We did hit a small bump when we were assigned a new Customer Success Manager as she was not as readily available as our previous one but that has since been resolved.

Have always been satisfied with the fast and knowledgeable responses. Support team is willing to teach me what to do instead of solving the problem for me. I appreciate that. On-Boarding resources and webinars are very helpful too.

I have had great success in getting answers or responses. I've even sent their support emails meant for another support stream and they were willing to try to help despite it not being their product. Good people!

Our first Account Manager was great - he was proactive and watched over any tickets to make sure our problems got solved. But our level of support plummeted when we got a new Account Manager. We've been relying on a certain support personal to step in and help us out as she's able.

It's good. Pretty solid. We got a lot of input to get up and running, but did a lot of the setup and customization work ourselves, because of our high standards. We've gotten good response and results on specific projects related to customization and our CSM is also pretty responsive.

Overall, I think that the jobs of CSMs and support folks would be easier if the product weren't wonky in some ways. They seem to have to do more "workarounds" for basic functionality that should just work out of the box.

During our trial period MindTouch representatives were responsive but in many cases did not have any additional information besides what was in the public MindTouch documentation. The online documentation sometimes included contradictory information. It was hard to tell if we were finding the most current documentation.

There is a very regimented way that you must contact support. It was disruptive to only have 2 help contacts because we had several people trying to get the site set up and MindTouch would continue to call the wrong phone number. it seems that you cannot talk to 1 person for all of the answers. One must get re-routed to the specific department, even for seemingly basic questions.

Response time is very good and support agents are very nice and polite. At times though it just seems too complicated.

Mindtouch support is awesome. Support agents are friendly and helpful. Some can benefit from ongoing training. Overall the support experience is very good. One area they can possibly improve is visibility into product feedback. Seeing or getting insight into requests or votes for features would be an added customer experience.

I usually don't hear from support the same day. It usually takes days to resolve my issue.

We recently were assigned a new customer contact, and I think that the service has fallen off slightly since then. But generally, we are pretty impressed with MindTouch's responsiveness to our questions and requests. (We do have the Premium support level.)

MindTouch customer support is great. They're very responsive, always friendly and helpful, and are willing to look into things when an answer does not come easily. I've always had my issues resolved within a day or two and give glowing marks to the techs who have helped me. When cases need to be escalated, I am usually contacted by the next-tier tech within a day.

When asked about the PDF option, the product support [rep] told me that only old people use PDFs. Um, OK, that's completely untrue. When asking about structured authoring, the product support [rep] told me that MindTouch was not an authoring tool. That's exactly how it was initially sold to us.

Quick response to tickets logged on their portal. Support takes their time and uses industry tools for screen sharing for detailed walk through on simple to complex issues. Their customer success center provides a good starting point for advanced customization options of the application.
