Human Resource Development Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A smart tool that looks slick but has some frustrating limitations" September 30, 2020 4.0 We like Mentimeter a lot. You can be up and running with it in minutes, and it takes literally seconds to create a typical wordcloud or other slide. It looks amazing to those answering the questions. There are downsides though and I hope future updates will add functionality and improve the experience for paying users. Pros Mentimeter allows you to easily (very easily) create and launch live, interactive polls, surveys and quizzes and create cool things like wordclouds in real time. It has a really smooth mobile integration through the use of QR codes which is a killer feature in the modern age. We have frequently had "wow moments" in meetings, workshops and training sessions using Mentimeter as people see animated quiz standing come in in real time and the like. Zero learning curve from the users point of view and almost frictionless. Cons It has a few limitations that make it less slick from the point of view of the person using it compared to the people answering the questions. It does not integrate well with Powerpoint. There is an outdated and never updated plug in which crashes all the time and thus unusable. The other option is to import your slides into Mentimeter and do the whole thing from there. This is not always advisable because animations are not preserved and the general look of the slides suffers. Without PPT integration, if you are running a remote session using Zoom or similar you are forcing people to navigate away from your window to use Mentimeter and then relying on them coming back to see the results come in in real time. It damages the experience tremendously. You get around this by showing QR codes and having them do it on their phones, but still, not ideal. Another issue is that moving or otherwise adjusting slide shows inside Mentimeter is a huge pain. Drag and drop to change the order of slides is basically broken, so me and my team always make sure everything is in order before importing (if we even use importing, see above). Even a no-integrated session with more than a few Mentimeter slides is a huge pain to adjust. Finally, although they claim that switching between say PPT and Mentimeter on the fly is easy, it inhibits you from easily and smoothly moving to the next question. Not ideal. Alternatives considered [AhaSlides](https://www.capterra.com/p/193878/AhaSlides/) Reason for choosing Mentimeter Mentimeter is far slicker and more professional looking Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Advisor Higher Education Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Adaptable, Multi-Use Presentation Software" August 16, 2021 5.0 Overall, I have enjoyed using Mentimeter to present, but Mentimeter really shines with the polls and feedback features built right into the program. It has made presentations more interactive, but also allows users to anonymously respond, giving me more insight into overall reception of the presentation for further fine-tuning. Pros I really enjoy utilizing the integration of real-time polls and feedback mid-presentation. We have used Mentimeter, primarily making use of the poll feature, to gauge both student and advisor feedback and understanding. We have been able to pull the reports the gather additional data to share with our team. Whether for students or for staff, Mentimeter has been incredibly useful and allows anonymization of data, allowing us to see where things are succeeding and perhaps where things can be given a bit more clarity. Cons I did find it hard to pull reports, however, this may be a matter of me not being entirely familiar with the software. I was able to eventually get the reports, but it seemed that I had to choose between combining data from different presentations or creating separate presentations entirely. I would have liked a feature that allows me to combine all data under one "umbrella" so I can see trends between individual presentations and the overall project. Reason for choosing Mentimeter Mentimeter's level of interactivity is something not many other products on the market offer. Some websites offer games, but they are not necessarily integrated with presentations. This is a one-stop shop. Switched from [Microsoft PowerPoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/141633/PowerPoint/) Mentimeter's live polling features made all the difference.

These are always great for end of season quizzes. Pros With a really small learning curve, Mentimeter is super easy to use and immediately adds a lot of fun and engagement to each session. Perfect for teaching and communicating skills and ideas. Cons A lot of full features are locked behind a subscription fee and there are limited customization options. Review Source ME Marco E. Trainer Banking Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good start" August 8, 2024 3.0 Pros Mentimeter has a great on the spot survey/knowledge check feature. Cons Price and limited features compare to Kahoots Switched from [Microsoft PowerPoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/141633/PowerPoint/)[Awardco](https://www.capterra.com/p/140428/Awardco-Employee-Performance/)[Bonusly](https://www.capterra.com/p/167338/Bonusly/)[Kahoot!](https://www.capterra.com/p/156399/Kahoot/) Try something new for employees and to weigh in comprehension Review Source TU Timo U. CEO Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Engagement first presentation tool" July 30, 2021 5.0 I like Menti when I want to create engaging session with the audience. Using the usual Zoom chat function, the text is separate from the presentation, but with Menti it falls nicely to the right place into the presentation flow and you can later get nice co-created slides. Pros I like that you can run the whole presentation from Menti, but I think often average users don't do that. When I have been using it for my presentations, it put all the slides there, getting a nice smooth experience. That's much better than switching between "main" presentation and Menti, and I hope more people will use it like that in the future. I also like that you can nicely export the final co-created slides, with audience inputs. Cons I really don't have complaints, but just a wish. I wish that I could use Menti active presentation as my Zoom virtual background, like you can currently do with their beta function PPT as background. If that could be Menti as well, that would be brilliant! Alternatives considered [Slido](https://www.capterra.com/p/154051/Slido/) Reason for choosing Mentimeter While I had used Slido at other events, I felt that for my own sessions Menti offers more engagement, which can be used smoothlessly in the whole presentation. I also found Menti's price better. Review Source Joe R.

April 11, 2024 1.0 Pros Interactivity was fantastic when we originally migrated to Mentimeter. Loves the creativity and ingenuity of the team. Cons Their app recently stopped working properly: Because of a change the company made, audiences can't effectively use browsers to participate and vote during presentations. Sadly, their customer service folks responded with a fix may never come. So we can't keep investing all of our presentation materials on a platform that handles issues with longtime customers like this. This also means we are in the process of canceling not only our subscriptions but dozens of our clients that we help handle their tech purchasing. We can't stand behind companies that handle things like this. We stand behind companies even more than products, so we are sad to have this happen. Switched from [Prezi](https://www.capterra.com/p/140325/Prezi-Business/) Interactivity and the ability to have a broader array of templates. Review Source Response from Mentimeter May 3, 2024 Thank you for bringing light to this issue. It’s disheartening to hear about the challenges you’ve faced, especially after the positive history you’ve had with our platform! I’m pleased to share that we’ve have now reverted the change, making it possible to use on browsers again. I understand that our team has reached out to you via email separately around solving this issue. Thank you once again for your support and flagging of this 🏆 VR Verified Reviewer Asistente de Docencia Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A powerful software for interactive slides" July 16, 2019 5.0 Mentimeter is a great tool when creating interactive slides in undergraduate classes. It permits both the students and the professor to participate actively in the class. Pros Mentimeter permits the administrator to create interactive slides. The students are motivated not only because their comments, questions and answers are presented anonymously during the class, but because they use their mobile phones and see the slides. Beyond the interactive slides, it includes clouds of words, quick tests, voting and express if they are enjoying the presentation. Cons The free version only permits a limited number of interactive slides. Despite the license is not considered expensive, it also limits some of the interactive tools and can cause the students to feel fatigued. Switched from [Prezi](https://www.capterra.com/p/140325/Prezi-Business/) Prezi is an alternative to conventional slides, however, the presentation becomes complicated and it does not suppor interactivity with the class.

Cons At times, there might be connection issues and not all attendees see the same slide or image. But it can be easily fixed by refreshing the page. Review Source HK Heather K. Technical Learning Partner Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Mentimeter is a great survey tool!" December 7, 2024 5.0 Overall, I love mentimeter. It is a great tool and has helped boost out feedback culture! Pros I love mentimeter! It makes it so easy to create engaging surveys - the templates with survey styles - like word clouds, ranking, and pie charts - are so helpful to be able to quickly produce engaging surverys Cons I wish there was more customization available - even on the pro package you are limited by the layouts you can choose and where images can be placed on the slides Review Source RM Ross M. Adjunct Associate Professor Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Mentimeter Enhances My Teaching!" February 12, 2025 5.0 I have used Mentimeter in presentations and courses to generate audience participation and enhance interactivity. Pros Absolutely fantastic interface and functionality! Cons Nothing to improve here - great product! Review Source EV Engela V. Teacher Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "An easy to use engagement tool" May 6, 2025 5.0 We use Mentimeter as support in presentations and even in class. An easy to use tool to engage students and audience members. Pros Very easy to use and supports engagement of audience. Cons Nothing, I think it is great. It is one of the easiest engagement tools around. Review Source CG Christopher G. Student Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A better software than PowerPoint" August 3, 2021 4.0 Pros Being able to interact with viewers instantly makes this software more eye-catching than competitors such as Microsoft, simply because of this innovation has allowed Mentimeter to be a clear choice when someone wants to measure how attentive their audience is and make the viewer feel that they are being heard. Cons The fact that you have to pay for some tools makes some people not allow themselves to use this great software, it is true that it has some free tools and that you can work with them without any problem, but the fact that you are always receiving a notice to pay, ruins the experience of the software. Review Source HA Hope A. teacher Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Tool and Easy to Use" July 16, 2021 5.0 I use this software at least once a week. It makes my classroom more engaging. It also keeps all data nice and neat for me. Mentimeter is so easy to use. It has many different options so you can change up your questions or your quiz so they don't look the same every time. Wonderful product! Pros I really like how Mentimeter is easy to use. I have created a few questions as an exit ticket for my students last minute. I have also used this tool for vocabulary, to see how my students were feeling about their homework, and also to see if they are understanding a topic. I love that you can get instant feedback in a variety of ways. Cons The software only allows you to create two questions with the free version. But other than that, it is a wonderful tool to help engage my students. Review Source GL Gitte L. Business Owner Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Professional Engagement Tool" December 31, 2022 4.0 Overall it is an attractive engagement tool and it allows participants to answer polls anonymously which offers valuable information for me as a presenter. Pros It is easy to set up and the interface is very professional when displaying the interactive surveys and polls. It is a great tool to build engagement with the audience as I give marketing presentations for my business. Cons It does not integrate well with PowerPoint which made my presentation crash and also causes participants to have to switch between the PP and the Mentimeter poll which took away from the experience of my presentation.

July 18, 2021 5.0 Overall I think Mentimeter is a fun engaging tool and can be relied upon to engage with your audience. If you are looking to get a real-time feedback from your audience and the result to be shared with them instantly, then Mentimeter is the tool to use. Internally, it's a great way to gather feedback from employees, while staying anonymous. Pros Mentimeter provides an easy way to engage with your audience in minutes. The polls can be customized in minutes and they are both desktop and mobile friendly. Cons What we like the least is the number of customizations. Mentimeter needs to allow more customizations, especially on the theming side and the slide templates. Often times audience also complaints about being unable to vote or reach the slides, so I hope this is improved soon. Review Source PR Peter R. Manager Investment Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Mentimeter works well overall without too much mental taxing" June 10, 2023 4.0 Pros East to learn, easy to use, quick to get started, variety of survey/poll types. Cons I sometimes need to combine a couple of different types of survey questions into a single question. Not easily done. Review Source MP Mariachiara P. Professor Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Mentimeter for sharing ideas" July 19, 2023 4.0 If you do not need to many questions it is very usefull, the results are immediate and easily to be shared and seen Pros Mentimeter is very usefull to share ideas, like create a word cloud and see results od polling or questions Cons The free part of the program only permits to create only three slides (poll or question or word cloud) Review Source RM Rodica M.

November 18, 2023 5.0 Pros I just love Mentimeter, it is so easy to use and so nice to see the results, therea are the options you have to choose for the result. I like the word cloud the best and the polls for activities I use weekly with my students. Cons There is nothing I don't like about the app. However for the free use you have just 2 slides to use. For more than 2 slides you have to buy a plan. Review Source SL Simon L. Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I use it in teaching" October 30, 2023 4.0 Pros I use it to get response from everyone when having a lecture in front of 25-100 people. Works great. Cons I would like to be able to remove a certain comment in real time. Sometimes students write something inappropriate or offensive and I don't want everyone to see that on the screen. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Program Assistant Higher Education Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great for interactive presentations " February 6, 2019 4.0 We have used this product many times and would recommend it to others. It is easy to use, can be accessed from anywhere, and most importantly is user friendly for those who are attending a presentation. Even those who aren’t tech savvy can participate Pros After looking into many interactive presentation softwares, mentimeter came out on top. The thing I liked most about this product is that presentation attendees need not create a login, it is as simple as going to a website and typing in a code. This was a must for my needs. As I used this product, functionality became more clear. One feature that is really beneficial is the presentation shows up on users devices- this allows them to follow along AND not get distracted by other items. It is really nice that you can upload a PowerPoint and incorporate menti questions into your customized template. Cons The free version of this website is very limited, however, menti did give a discount to nonprofits so even on a tight budget, it is affordable. Review Source KJ Karim J. Agility Coach Oil & Energy Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Engaging and fun Virtual Meeting tool" August 5, 2021 4.0 MentiMeter was very helpful in many presentations I did. Audience enjoyed the quiz feature very well. Pros I liked the main user interface, ease of use for most of the features. I liked the polls and quiz feature is appealing to the eyes. It even has music and avatars. Cons I think it was too expensive for my budget. There was a new feature for remote, but It was super clear for me how to use and its purpose. Not sure if there was powerpoint add-ins?

Mentimeter is a great presentation tool that allows the presenter to engage and interact with the audience in real-time. It's polling feature is awesome and allows you to set the questions and your audience can give their input using a mobile phone or any other device connected to the Internet. It is an easy-to-use online tool and can be used as a major boost for one meeting and presentation. Everyone out there should use this tool. It's quite fun to use. Cons I have yet to come across a con for Mentimeter. Maybe my vision is a bit blurred and I am failing to see, up to this point, the drawbacks. The only disadvantage I can mention is really related to people, the audience. And how truthful they are with the presentation polls.

I enjoy using the word cloud slide to have students place responses that form into a cloud. It is nice that this has an explicit language filter as well. Cons The pricing is expensive for an education app. You can do 2 free slides, but besides that it will be a monthly fee or a yearly fee which is expensive.

Cons A pay-per-use pricing model would be nice as a subscription is not feasible for those only running a limited number of presentations. Review Source KW Katie W. Lead Team Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for audience participation" October 31, 2022 5.0 Pros Even after covid Zoom meetings, Mentimeter is still a great tool for engaging an audience during a presentation.
