### "Great Educational Tool"

February 3, 2020

5.0

I often colloborate with university colleagues to write grants. We have used the program to model teaching and learning frameworks and to delegate project tasks. It is easy to use and the export features allow us to incorporate graphics into proposals.

Pros

What I love most about Mindmeister is the ability to collaborate with others on maps. I use it with colleagues to model, plan, and brainstorm. I also use it with my college students, who are pre-service teachers. When I assign a collaborative brainstorming activity, I can view the timeline to see when students contributed to the map. (This feature also allows you to revert to an earlier version of the map.) There are a multitude of educational uses of Mindmeister -- lesson planning, summarizing ideas, examining cause and effect, analyzing literature, detailing the steps in a process, and vocabulary study -- to name a few! Mindmeister has become an essential tool for teaching and learning.

Cons

My students sometimes have problems retireving maps - especially if they have started a map and only worked on it for a few minutes.

### "Map your Mind with MindMeister the BEST mapping interface on the web"

August 28, 2022

5.0

I've used this software for everything from planning camping trips, foreign travel, writing projects and business management. It works for just about everything!!!

Pros

I like the cost (I stay basice) and the interface is intuitive. I like being able to drag items to different parts of the map and to interconnect maps!!!

Cons

The free version limits the maps I can make, but paying will solve this.

### "Não existe suporte"

November 6, 2023

3.0

Usei inicialmente, e cheguei a assinar a versão PRO. Porém não utilizei mais pois haviam alternativas mais completas.

Pros

É prático para criar "balões", e a estrutura de um mapa mental ou hierarquia, apesar de pouco configurável.

Cons

Não possui suporte fiável. Fui cobrado após cancelar a conta pro, e há mais de 20 dias que não tenho resposta. Quem atende diz não ter responsabilidade sobre cobranças. Passei a utilizar outras ferramentas como o Miro ou Notion.

### "Great tool for new Ideas road mapping"

July 22, 2019

5.0

Outstanding.

Pros

Collaboration is an essential part of our Organization and to make sure our Ideas is properly well mapped, Mindmeister is there to help us. Gone are the ugly drawings on the whiteboard that draws unfocused and divided attention of people, now is the time where beautiful and easy mind mapping tool that draws inspiration and sparks collaborative work towards accomplishing the Organization’s goal. Design is always on-point and it communicates clearly what needs to be done strategically.

Cons

Of course, not all tool is perfect, it has all its own cons but as far as I can tell from my experience, I’m a satisfied user of this tool.

### "Great and cheap ;)"

January 22, 2020

5.0

Awesome! I've been using MindMeister for a long time and I can say that I have a life of study there. It is incredible how I can remember something I read two years ago really fast.

Pros

The facility in building mind maps that are beautiful and organized the way you want would be enough for me. But the tool for researching words on the maps are FANTASTIC. I can research a word through all maps or in an especific one. This really allows me to be faster at my work.

Cons

Although the price is affordable, I think the difference between annual and mothly plans should be more representative. I'd like to have an annual plan but, living in Brazil where dollar goes up and down, I can't know when it will really worth it.

### "Great for small business"

December 3, 2019

5.0

I use this to be able to create very nonlinear "big picture" summaries, and then I create other functional maps and tasks when its time to drill down into the details. I like how its very nonlinear and very fluid. Its easy to move things around and edit them. I first used MindMeister back in 2007. Its still a great product.

Pros

I like mind mapping and I like the design, form and feel to MindMeister. Its great that it now has task list functionality as well. Its fast and easy.

Cons

It could use a Gantt chart, as that's the only thing other people in my company need/want.

### "Easy mind-mapping and group brainstorming"

December 24, 2022

5.0

Pros

Creating mind maps is very straightforward. There are plenty of models to start from and the real time collaboration features allow you to brainstorm with your team very easily. There are also many color and icon options to decorate your maps.

Exporting to pdf sometimes cut part of the mind maps, so be sure to optimize all spaces before exporting.

### "Excellent, but...."

June 12, 2020

5.0

I love to use it, it changed the way I organize my life and it made me 10 times more efficient.

Pros

The software and its mobile it are great. Features are good and works smoothly. But... the price is outrageous. It's impossible to keep paying the entire life for a program like this. You guys should offer one time buy plan, that would unlimited use of it. I would totally buy it even if its a little expensive, because its the best of its kind. But I cannot afford to pay for it every year of my life time. No way.

Cons

Need to have a one time buy plan. No way to keep paying every year for this kind of product.

Reason for choosing MindMeister

same as above

### "Review - MindMeister"

November 26, 2022

5.0

The ideation phase has become make clearer and more efficient. A must-have in an environment/ at positions where strategic planning is prominent.

Pros

The ease of mapping ideas into clear-cut flow is exceptional; the best part is the customization it brings to idea management.

Cons

The customization is extensive; making it a touch hard for the first timers to get acclimatized with the product.

### "An invaluable tool"

April 9, 2021

5.0

Pros

Great interface, easy to use, instant synchronization.

Cons

I use it as todo/note organizer, grouping them by subject and specific to my usage I would have liked to have metadata that can be attached to items (date, priority, ...) and then having the possibility of sorting items on the same level by that metadata.

### "Sucker Punch Business Model"

June 22, 2022

1.0

Good looking product, but traveler be wary.

Pros

Looks cool, but beware of the trap door.

Cons

Not cool. I just spent two hours creating a mind map. It looked great. When I tried to export it I got a screen that said I needed to upgrade to be able to download it. 60 bucks. Okay. I wanted to take another look at it. I clicked back one page and my map was gone. nothing. zapped. No option to save, take a minute to reconsider, or look at its functionality. That's a pretty horrible user experience.

### "Helps me be creative"

January 14, 2020

5.0

I design my own courses, and I use Mindmeister to help me outline and think through my course organization. At first I was not sure that it was worth the money. Because it was almost time for renewal, I decided to begin a new project and outline it by hand. WIthin a day I realized that Mindmeister was definitely something that helped a lot. Not only can I move ideas around very easily, but I can also see my projects differently simply due to the ability to color similar ideas with the same color, and connect them to each other. Being able to move a chain of ideas without having to erase and start over was huge too. I realized that Mindmeister had been making a huge difference.

Pros

I like the visual aspect of creating an organized plan.

Cons

I would liked to have an actual list of different short tutorials.

### "The perfect tool for creating strategies and mind maps!"

January 16, 2019

5.0

I just love MindMeister and recommend it to everyone.

Pros

MindMeister is by far one of my favorite work tools! I've started using about 3 or 4 years ago when I was studying movie production. I could break down ideas, concepts and steps of an action plan to fulfill projects. MindMeister helps me organize ideas, design projects and concepts. I also use it to design marketing campaign strategies that include​ multiple groups and different actions.

Cons

I would like the free version to allow the user to manage more than 3 maps. Although​ it's worth the money, it's still expensive for a freelance professional.
