Excellent for structuring complex information in a clear, visual format. > > **Cons**: Poor customer support: support experience described as "suffering" due to lack of effective help. Support requests for screen recordings and developer console info did not resolve the issue. No timely resolution:lack of escalation or clear timeline, directly impacting productivity. > > My journey with MindMeister is a story of two extremes. The software itself is outstanding: it’s intuitive, visually engaging, and makes organizing and sharing information a breeze. I found it especially useful for academic work and collaborative projects, thanks to its clean interface and robust sharing features. However, my attempt to upgrade from Edu Personal to Edu Pro has been a source of ongoing frustration. Since October 20th, I’ve been unable to complete the upgrade due to a university email verification error—despite this same email being accepted when I first signed up. The support team’s responses have been slow and ineffective, repeatedly asking for screen recordings and technical details without addressing the root cause. Suggestions to try non-Edu plans or use incognito mode were irrelevant to my specific issue. As of October 28th, the problem remains unresolved. This has not only wasted my time but also disrupted my workflow and productivity. For a tool designed to enhance productivity, such a prolonged and unresolved support issue is unacceptable. ----- ### "Unfortunate Customer Experience" — 1.0/5 > **Michael** | *10 May 2024* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is decent for Mind Mapping and documenting new ideas and projects. > > **Cons**: I had a really disappointing experience with Mind Meister and hope this review saves others from wasting their time and money. Here are the undisputed facts of my interaction with Mind Meister – •My company has been a customer of Mind Meister since March 2021 and a spent $2,227 during that period •On April 19, 2024 at 5:00pm I received an email saying they charged $419 for a subscription renewal for 4 users and 6 month term •At 5:01pm I received another email offering savings if I subscribed for a year instead of 6 months •At 6:08pm I shared that our team hasn’t used Mind Meister at all other than me and I requested a refund for the 3 other licenses and said I was happy to renew my single license for a year •Their response “I'm sorry to say that I cannot issue a refund in this case. As outlined at the time of purchase, selecting a billing period when purchasing a license causes your plan to renew automatically by default” •I said that I have been a loyal customer and thought they issued notifications BEFORE a subscription renews like most companies since it is the law in most states. •Their response “I am sorry that you feel this way, but we notify our users about the automatic license renewal not only at the time of purchase but also in our terms \& conditions and email invoices.” You can decide if you want to work with a company that retains their loyal, multi-year customers by referencing ‘fine print’ in terms \& conditions that no one can keep up with when they have over 30 different vendors and software providers. I know I prefer the many other alternatives that care about their customers. ----- ### "Decent Mind Map Software" — 4.0/5 > **Andy** | *11 June 2024* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The website has never been down, its fairly quick and easy to get ideas from yourhead down onto a mindmap. > > **Cons**: Compared to things like X mind they dont have a great choice of map layouts eg timeline, fishbone. Also they have a separate task management tool called Meistertask which they try to get you to use but it seems overly complicated having Mindmeister for mindmaps and Meistertask for task management. Some other compaines just have 1 product that does mapping and task management. > > I enjoy using Mindmeister just wish they has more map layouts. ----- ### "Probably the best web based mind mapping tool" — 5.0/5 > **Andrew** | *26 June 2021* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: 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. > > **Cons**: 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. ----- ### "Extremely intuitive tool for creating beautiful mind maps" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *9 April 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **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 local system or google drive. This features is extremely helpful when you want to attach details for a particular step. Once you have created a mind map, you can export it in different format like .pdf, .png, .docx, .pptx etc. and share it with your team members or client stakeholders.I love the collection of pre-built templates in MindMeister as it saves up a lot of time during ideation sessions. > > **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. > > 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. ----- Page: 1 / 13\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/141357/mindmeister?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/software/141357/mindmeister) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | da | | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | | tr | | ----- ## Structured Data
