Overall Satisfaction with MindTouch

Overall easy to use.
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.
We use Mindtouch to satisfy our content management needs organization-wide. We deploy our self-service strategies on this platform as well as our internal knowledge base documentation for our customer care department.
  • Template creation and usage - It's so easy to create Mindtouch templates for content creation, management, and workflow processes.
  • Conditional Branding - Our favorite part of this platform is its ability to provide multiple branding and landing pages specific to our branding needs.
  • Content Management features - We also love how it is easy to manage content via custom classifications, content reuse, global variables, and content IDs.
  • Lack of Workflows and forms - No ability to create workflows or forms to support our content management processes.
  • Error Messages - Generic and vague error messages happen too often, leaving lack of support or best practices.
  • Customer Support - Depending on who you get, the service could be good or frustrating.
  • Lack of KCS Proccess Support - Even though Mindtouch is striving towards process improvements to align with the Knowledge-Centered Service model, it is not yet in compliance.
  • Increased ease of collaboration
  • Decreased time to publication
  • Increased user adoption
Yes - Wordpress - Mindtouch had conditional branding and power permissions based structure that allowed us to move away from this platform.
Drupal - This content management system didn't have all of the nice features that Mindtouch provided.
If you are looking for a content management system, this is an excellent one to start with. Its template creation, multi-branding capabilities, permissioning structure, and API access gives you a very good start for digitizing and managing content. If you are looking for a content management system that is KCS approved or geared more towards ticketing/customer service, you might want to consider whether the positive features outweigh the lack of workflows and forms often needed for the KCS approval process.
