MindMeister Reviews

Nothing. Bad design. I regret that I agreed to subscribe to the service.

Impossible to see the overview of a mindmap clearly. Not being able to print out the page to discuss with colleagues. I begged the client service to allow me to exit the subscription as I have not used the service for 2 years and didn't realize it. They declined. Very very very bad customer service. I DO NOT RECOMMEND TO GO INTO BUSINESS WITH THEM.

It is a mind mapping program.
It worked alright.

We used it a few times and then it became unneeded.
It is hard to cancel the service so I suggest staying in the free version.

ease of use,
minimal preparation,
online collaboration

Available themes,
Tree like structure of mind map and not being able to create graphs of ideas,
not using the dimensions efficiently. (x axis may mean depth, y axis may mean breadth)

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

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

Think widely, Sum in one mind-page.
Then we can have a few gaps in our team.
So easy to gathering think parts of teammates.

I think it will be more powerful to have functions that suggest or reply an element (like Google Docs, Sheets, Slides).

It offers great integration with software like Google docs

The trial version can be very obtrusive and it interrupts my workflow

I used to like creating Breakdown Structures

Consider Miro. It provides better functionality, and it's free.1) Customer Service is horrible.I used to be a loyal customer. A year ago, I decided to support a team, and pay for a yearly membership. I haven't used the product, since I found Miro.On [sensitive content hidden] my credit card got charged for the annual subscription.I haven't gotten any heads-up emails or anything.On [sensitive content hidden] I reached the customer support center, and explained, as a consumer, I hadn't been using the product, and I'm not going to.They said they wouldn't provide a refund.That tells you a lot about the company.2) In order to cancel my subscription, I spent over 10 minutes Googling what to do.3) MindMeister provides a very narrow spectrum of functions. In miro, you can use iPad with great intuitive features.You can interact with other people in realtime, and it looks so much more fun.Miro is free, you will not need convince anybody to pay for the product.

Think about it: For the first time ever, Mindmapping and Task Management are perfectly connected with each other! And both applications are uniting simplicity and efficiency in such a great way that you really want to work with them every day. No matter, whether you do brainstorming in a meeting, or need to sort your thoughts for to launch a new product, starting a new marketing campaign, ordering your competitive data or just simply make notes about a class you are intending, there is only one perfect tool you can easily use for everything: MindMeister.
MindMeister is not only a stoning beautiful and absolutely intuitive application, but it super effective and supporting your efficienc by directly creating tasks and assigning them to individual persons.
In case somebody missed the meeting, or you need to replay how the mindmap got built, simply click on the replay button and it gets constructed again right in front of your eyes.
Generate impressive powerpoint presentations with a click of a mouse button or manually in just seconds.
Collaborate interactive online on the same maps in real-time. Build knowledge bases by connecting mindmaps with each other.
You will never forget anything anymore because you will find any information easily again in one of your mindmaps.
On top of everyhting, MindMeister has a number of templates integrated for the majority of your needs, like SWOT analysis, decision matrix, homework planning, exam preparation, lesson and many more.

Nothing. MindMeister in combination with MeisterTask is the only right tools you will ever need for an efficient task and project management.

I used MindMeister in several brainstorming sessions, during Agile software development projects. The best thing about it was how it enabled the team to collaborate real time in the creation of the project mind map. The web interface is clean and usable, and you can also do everything by using only the keyboard through shortcuts to add/edit/remove mind map nodes.

Unfortunately there are limitations in the basic plan, so if you need to have more than a few mind maps active you need to upgrade to a paid plan. Also, not all export options are available. Finally, I'd reccomend a fast internet connection if you plan to collaborate with your team, since real time collaboration is more resource-consuming.

The app has a great UX. Actually now is deploying new ways to accomplish what is stated. For my point of view, is one of the best apps for mindmapping and is a nice tool to have. The iOS app work great too.

I miss a few integrations with other app i use. In MS 365 Teams works awesome, but i will love to have the tool in other places as well. Overall i do not have any complaints so far.

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.

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.

The ease of use
Brainstorming
Presentation

Rigidity ... It doesn't allow branches to be a different place unaligned

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.

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

innovative, logical, original, very easy to use, communicate

to expensive for individual use, have to be free for education purposes

Looks cool, but beware of the trap door.

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.

Mind Meister is the best mind mapping tool, Good Interface, Easy to use, Clean Ui. It has several customization while developing an mind map such the colors, how an topic should be and more. Attachment part has fution to add images and videos. The slideshow function is awesome.

Mind Meister is little costlier. You won't be able to change an template type once you have created it. In such case you need to recreate in an new template.

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.

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.

I love using mind maps, I think it's a fantastic tool. MindMeister makes it possible to create very beautiful mind maps!!

I have nothing to complain about. I manage to do whatever I have in mind there
