Overall Satisfaction with MindMeister

We started to use MindMeister as a brainstorming tool but it was adopted gradually for other activities like project logs, and to organize information gathered during workshops and product designing meetings. Actually, it is used by different teams, but especially for marketing and project management activities. It helps us to achieve better management of information and also give us an interesting format which is much more helpful to share knowledge and support our training initiatives.
  • Engaging and easy-to-use (an attractive tool for new users)
  • Very simple to start using and getting results quickly
  • Nice variety of features
  • I think that the free plan should offer a bit more terms of features to make the testing experience more engaging.
  • My experience using the App version was not so good when compared to the web version of it. I feel more comfortable using it in my notebook.
  • Paid plans could be more flexible to support small or temporary demands.
  • Very intuitive / engaging design and usability (fast learning curve)
  • Version in Portuguese
  • Templates
  • Integration with Google Drive
  • Our meetings became more productive (time saving /better outcome).
  • Project management activities became more efficient (time-saving/increased quality/better collaboration).
  • It became easier to create online repositories to share relevant and well-organized information to our teams (before it was dispersed, incomplete, and difficult to find/manage).
We found MindMeister as the most complete tool considering our needs and context of use. Other tools that we had the chance to test/evaluate offered similar features for brainstorming and log of information, but we felt MindMeister was very easy-to-use, especially thinking about how to deploy it to our teams (on-line) and to start getting results quickly. Pricing conditions were very similar.

Yes

Would you buy MindMeister again?

Yes

I think that MindMeister can be very useful for so many activities when it is necessary to gather, organize and share information. I think it can be especially good if we are dealing with a small or medium amount of information. In cases when we need to handle too much detailed information, the mapping tool may become a bit confusing to manage, just like in many other tools. For brainstorming and/or flow/process mapping it is really great ans useful.
