### "思考の整理はこれで行おう"

October 31, 2022

5.0

社員や役員への説明に利用する場合、わかりやすいと言ってもらえることが多くなったので重宝しています。

Pros

とにかくシンプルであることです。大きな白い紙にとにかく思いついたことを書くように、自由に入力ができ、またそれを自由につなぐことができます。なんども繰り返すことで思考が整理されていき、かつ人に説明できる資料にもなるため、非常に優れていると感じています。

Cons

一つのボックスに対してメモ等を残しておきたいと思う時があります。ボックスを繋げすぎると意味不明になったり、別軸として管理したい場合など、需要はあるのではと思います。

### "Convenient"

May 29, 2021

3.0

Overall, I like MindMeister as a quick way to connect ideas as well as organize concepts and tasks.

Pros

I like that the software can save and export maps to Google Drive. I also like that it's flexible in content.

Cons

I dislike the limited number of maps available in the free account.

Switched from

[Lucidchart](https://www.capterra.com/p/146136/Lucidchart/)

Lucid places limits on the number of elements in a map. I was using Lucid live, in a lesson, and it prevented me from adding a link and/or a concept.

### "Excelente app"

February 27, 2023

4.0

Excelente

Pros

La facilidad con la que se puede trabajar y modificar el mapa. Es una herramienta super útil para quienes tienen memoria visual

Cons

Es una pena que transferir el texto a Word sea no gratuito y que al Ctr+C y Ctr+P una porción adicione el texto con formato deficiente.

Reason for choosing MindMeister

Me pareció dimámico y con muchas herramientas de diseño que hacen interactiva el uso (colores, formas, front, etc)

### "I Use MindMeister To Plan Books"

May 11, 2021

5.0

I enjoy getting ideas onto a screen pictorially and being able to move items around easily.

Pros

I use MM to plan chapters in books and brainstorm ideas. It's quick to get a mind map onto the screen and link research to it via web links and files on the computer.

Cons

It takes a short while and some practice to pick up the features and actions to produce a good mind map.

### "The best app for creating beautiful mind maps "

January 22, 2019

5.0

With MindMeister app installed on my Android, I have an effective way to collect and save ideas.

Pros

I think Mindmeister is a must have tool in modern business world. I like Mindmeister because it is a universal tool for different tasks, including project planning, book summaries, and presentations. Mindmeister is also an essential part of every brainstorm of our team.

Cons

Both web version and Android app are good. There is nothing I dislike

### "A SaaS Mindmap: Ease of Collaboration "

March 2, 2021

5.0

Visually, breaking down the problem logically.

Pros

ease of use and share: the SaaS allows multiple users to collaborate in real time and break down the problems.

Cons

Pricing. Xmind provides everything, except sharing functionality.

Response from Meister

April 1, 2021

Hi Vivek, thank you for your review! Our app is add-free and we believe the Basic functionalities offered should cover the needs of a free user who would only create up to 3 maps and does not need to use advanced features. We of course look at our competitors' plans and pricing when reconsidering our prices and plans. Developing and maintaining our website and apps is costy and at the moment we cannot offer all features for free. We however do appreciate your feedback. Best, Your MeisterTeam

### "Mind Mapping with Ease"

January 8, 2020

5.0

Very happy and easy to share whil collaborating.

Pros

This tool is very intuitive and user friendly. Even if you get stumped its fairly easy to look at pictures of an icon and figure out what it does. I also like the integrations so you can attach files, documents etc. to support an idea

Cons

The only aspect I was disappointed is in a less that 17" screne you may not be able to visualize an entire mindmap.

Alternatives considered

### "The Best Mind Cartographer"

March 22, 2020

5.0

I do believe after trying many different programs that Mindmeister is the easiest to use and the best looking. It has everything I want in mapping software. It makes a big difference when you are trying to brainstorm. it is simply the best all-around.

Pros

I really enjoy the user interface the most. It is easy to use and attractive to the eye. It takes no time at all to make a fun and practical map for my writing.

Cons

I wish I could buy the software or membership for a one time fee. I use the software randomly for personal reasons than anything so a monthly fee isn't cost-effective for me. But wish I could use the full features whenever I decide to log on.

Switched from

[MindMup](https://www.capterra.com/p/176911/MindMup/)

No other program makes it easier to add various branches, create mega trees, functions as smoothly, or looks as good as Mindmeister.

### "Brilliant!"

March 17, 2021

5.0

Using the free version, i'm absolutely delighted by this product and use it every day for planning and inspiration. As soon as my starting phase is done, i'm paying for this product to expand my use of it, to get even more features and, well, because it's worth it.

Pros

This product is extremely easy to use and implement. It can be made easy on the eyes and is packed with features already in the free version.

Cons

The only annoying detail i've come across so far is that formatting is lost when undoing a move, which i'm sure is fixable in future updates. Although the amount of symbols at hand is massive, i'd love the ability to mark an entry with any number.

### "Organize your Stuff"

October 8, 2019

5.0

It's been used in the initial phases of our projects to organize and systemize thoughts, to brainstorm and group similar ideas. We use ti to organize the key points of material we are reading, too, and to start schemes that will end up being turned to processes.

Pros

One of the features I like most is the possibility to directly create tasks on MeisterTask. From there, I can take the tasks to our work app, Runrun.it through Zapier.

Cons

Sometimes it's hard to keep the layout the way you'd like, because it doesn't let you overlap the items. So, you are forced to stretch the groups.

Reason for choosing MindMeister

I started as a free user, but since I started creating many maps, it made sense to purchase it.

### "Brainstorming Portal"

November 6, 2018

5.0

I could easily plot all the things in my head and arrange it later. This program makes it easy for me.

Pros

What I like about this program is it is very easy to use. It could give me the best way to map the ideas on my mind and replicate it into a web-like flow of how the ideas goes in my mind. I could just let them show it all then easily move each item to where it should be connected. It is easier for me to just list all of it first then arrange and think if it is already good. I could come back anytime when things are changed.

Cons

The limited count of mind maps for the free version. I hope this could have unlimited mind maps on free version. Only that actually because the other features on the paid versions are good for requiring to pay. I think they could help more people to use their program especially like I when I only need to mind map everything and I don't need the other features of the paid version.

### "MindMeister: Organize Your Thoughts"

November 12, 2019

4.0

Overall, it does what it's supposed to. You don't even have to install an app. Just use it in a browser. I haven't logged in for months and was pleasantly surprised to see my most recent mind maps ready to go.

Pros

I like the fact that there is a free edition you can continue to use. Upgrade, if you need the extra features.

Cons

I just don't like the way the mind maps look. It seems like a minor thing, but it has work the way your mind works to be useful. I want a simple tree with a node at the top and branches that face down from there. Each node should be collapsible with expand/collapse. I want to like it. I just don't.

### "Very useful software for brainstorming and organizing ideas."

July 17, 2019

4.0

Pros

It is very easy to use and create tons of projects from scratch. You can brainstorm multiple topics in a single page and then connect them in a more logic way by demand.

Cons

Even though you can share a project with multiple people, you can't edit the same project at the same time, or the software only recorganize one of the editings.

Enjoying using this mind mapping tool

Pros

Intuitive mind mapping tool that for the most part is free to use. Obviously if you need / want all the 'hokey kokey' features you have to upgrade, but i have found that, at the moment, the free version is suffice for my needs.

Cons

All the printing downloading can't really be done with out upgrading

### "Excellent tool for mind maps"

February 6, 2018

5.0

Pros

It's the best tool I've ever used to create mind maps, because it's all stored in the cloud. It enables us to customize the style of our mind map, so you can organize it the way you want.

Cons

I'd like to have the ability to export mind maps to more formats in the free plan, but really can't complain since we're still able to do the most important tasks.
