MindMeister Reviews

While there are many offline mind mapping tools available, there are few good web based ones. MindMeister really excels. It's very useable and fast with a good set of features. If you are used to working in the browser and like having your data stored in the cloud so that it's available from any device, then MindMeister is a great choice. I've used most other mind mapping software and still have some installed on my Mac, but I keep going back to MindMeister.

There's not really anything to dislike. It may take new users a little while to get used to if they are used to other mind mapping software but shouldn't take long.

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).

Mind-mapping function not bad but forces order, length and position of topics such that producing a balanced map is extremely difficult.

The new User Interface / Menus have made it impossible to even find your mind-maps;Account details and subscriptions no longer reflect reality such that every time I try to navigate, I'm offered an upgrade to something I'm already paying;Help and Contact Us menus just take you round in circles; a truly appalling experience that wastes my very valuable time; I've now had to cancel my account - laughably I'm warned at least 3 times that all of my mind-maps / data will be irretrievably lost - strangely enough I have cancelled the account specifically because of this - it's already lost or 'hidden' in a nonsensical UI. I suspect I will however continue getting charged for the service...

It offers great integration with software like Google docs

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

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

Platform that facilitates task planning, project planning. helps organize information. It also helps with academic studies. You can share in a group and also edit in a group. It has many free features

many other useful features are paid. The value is not absurd.

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.
