MindTouch Responsive

Overall Satisfaction with MindTouch

MindTouch is being used for product documentation and Knowledge Base.
  • Powerful search
  • Ability to customize the look and feel
  • Write and publish individual chunks of information aka articles
  • Retain previous versions of articles and access them easily
  • Tagging really helps too; it's a great feature that MindTouch provides
  • Another thing that MT (MindTouch) does really well is ease of publishing and ease of providing feedback.
  • Search and replace capability
  • Ability to create PDFs of multiple articles; this was supported in MindTouch 4 but not in MindTouch Responsive, and it's a huge area for improvement.
  • Automatic re-numbering of numbered lists
  • More knowledgeable and efficient customer support staff
  • The search has definitely had a positive user impact. Users are invariably able to find what they need.
  • My big disappointments with using MindTouch for more than 4 years now, is that their support is not trained to view the limitations in the product from the user perspective. Everything for them is a product feature even when we are telling them it's a huge limitation for us. Also, a lot of times, I end up finding a solution to the cases I open much faster than their support staff and that is a pity. Why can't they hire or better train people to support the product?
Particularly useful for organizations that are raw and just starting to put together their content portfolio. Because of its limitations, not sure if it will work well in big organizations that have to support a lot of content.
