Pros
The integration in various software such as Notion is an added point that makes it a much better program. The interface is good, and all creative processes are fast, which greatly helps productivity.
I found this software so easy to use and you can create the most incredible mindmaps. I love all the wonderful additions where you can incorporate costings, web links and notes.
This was so easy to learn to use, and the help and opening tutorial were super straightforward.
Cons
The problem is that nothing layouts out the connections the way we know them. I am creating the framework for our database for the future.
I had a problem to see them, I miss the ability to enlarge them or readjust them according to my needs.
So far I have not stumbled over things that bother me ... the only thing might be the need of an internet connection.

Exploring the effectiveness of MindMeister for project management.

MindMeister has been an invaluable tool for my team and for me as a Project Manager.

The variety of mind map templates available in MindMeister has also been a great advantage, allowing us to create mind maps for different purposes and projects with ease.

Pros

The real-time collaboration feature has significantly improved communication and collaboration between team members, leading to greater efficiency and productivity in our projects. Additionally, the ability to customize mind maps and add images and files has made it easy for us to present and share information clearly and concisely. I also like the variety of mind map templates available in MindMeister, which has allowed us to create mind maps for different purposes and projects.

I haven't found anything negative about MindMeister so far. The tool has been very effective in creating and managing mind maps, has significantly improved communication and collaboration between team members, and has improved efficiency and productivity in our projects. While there can always be areas for improvement in any tool, thus far MindMeister has lived up to all of our needs and expectations as a project management tool.

Extremely intuitive tool for creating beautiful mind maps

Reviewed a year ago

MindMeister is a great tool for mind mapping and creative brainstorming. I love its intuitive interface, the export functionality, endless canvas and integration with Google Drive. If you are a visual person or looking for a simple way for organizing your ideas, this can be your go-to tool.

Pros

MindMeister is a simple online tool for creating mind maps, project tasks or meeting notes. My team has used it for around 1.5 years and we have absolutely loved it. It helps in brainstorming the ideas with your hybrid team members and organize those ideas in a structured way. It has extremely intuitive UI and anyone can start using it without any training. You can upload different files from your...

Cons

A big drawback of MindMeister is that it doesn't allow you to create process/data flow diagrams (like BPMN). Due to this limitation, you might need to switch to a different tool. Additionally, we have faced a bit of a lag if the mind map is extremely detailed out or having large files attached to it. Also, its free plan only allows you to create a few documents and doesn't provide enough features.

Why did they change the best mind mapping app there is?

Reviewed 8 months ago

At this point, I'm very disappointed. It was excellent for brainstorming an enormous thesis project and for designing extensive action research, but the new developments are just extremely disappointing.

Pros

This app's functionality and user interfact is second to none. The speed with which you can brainstorm is excellent.

Cons

I have been stuck in a loop of not being able to connect to my account, getting extremely slow and convoluted customer service, reestablishing access, then losing it again for the last 5 months. I also seriously dislike the new updates. When I started using this service (in grad school), it was absolutely exceptional. I loved being able to make a mind map quickly, then turn it into a presentation on the spot, adjusting the order of the cells as "slides" in the presentation... it was SO useful. Now, they got away from that for some reason.

Vendor response

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We sincerely apologize for the challenges you've faced in accessing your account and we are sorry that you are disappointed by recent updates. Your concerns have been escalated internally to ensure that the responsible departments are aware. We understand the importance of providing efficient and user-friendly service, and we are committed to improving your experience.
