    I was unaware of ClickUp at the time. I thought MindMeister would be able to solve some story telling and automation challenges the team was facing. It failed to do that and the team disbanded as a result.

    We found MindMeister as the most complete tool considering our needs and context of use. Other tools that we had the chance to test/evaluate offered similar features for brainstorming and log of information, but we felt MindMeister was very easy-to-use, especially thinking …

    We chose MindMeister as the UI seemed easier to use. We were not able to take Lucidchart for a full test drive due to the limited free plan so we opted for MindMeister in the end as it seemed to have what we needed, which it did. The collaboration features of MindMeister also …

    There are many similar programs, but I also use the Freemind open sourced program to work offline, but working collectively in it is not very convenient with this application, so we use the MindMeister.

    Mindmeister has a good free plan compared with Lucidchart, and better Google Drive integration in my opinion. draw.io has a better free plan than MindMeister, but I prefer MindMeister for mindmap creation still, while I prefer draw.io for other types of diagrams. Xmind is …

    I have also used LucidChart and Google Draw to create mind maps and concept maps in the past. I think that MindMeister is by far the cleanest and most user friendly of the three. Google Draw does not have anywhere near the same functionality. LucidChart tends to be clunky and …

    I’ve tried Mindnode for Mac, but it’s a native app, so MindMeister is always accessible (as a web application) and has even more features.

    I really like the Mindmeister interface. Clean, beautiful and organized. One of the factors that made me choose Mindmeiter was the direct integration with MeisterTask. It is absolutely amazing to delegate tasks to your team directly through the mind map.

    As a full graph editor, yEd needs added structure to do tree structures as well as MindMeister. FreeMind is a great tool if you work alone. It allows all sorts of customization and scripting. It is Java-based. We don't work alone. Based on FreeMind, Freeplane adds it's own …

    Just as mind maps are applicable to just about anybody in any field of work, MindMeister is probably the best piece of software on which to create them. SimpleMind for MC/PC is very good, if not better in terms of user experience, but it's not cloud based so sharing maps is a …

    MindMeister is ideally suited for building mind maps, site maps, or similar types of data maps in the cloud without needing to install extra software. I find that it isn't quite as ideal for other types of diagrams (ERDs, flowcharts, etc) as some other tools, though it definitely can handle those things as well.

    Pros
    MeisterLabs GmbH
    • The UI is well laid out and easy to use. The workflow makes perfect sense and makes creating tasks a breeze.
    • The collaboration features make brainstorming not only easy but fun! Everyone enjoys using the tool, which was not the case with other collaboration software we used.
    • I love being able to get all of my thoughts and ideas on the screen to see them and then be able to connect them in a logical way.

    Cons
    MeisterLabs GmbH
    • I think that the free plan should offer a bit more terms of features to make the testing experience more engaging.
    • My experience using the App version was not so good when compared to the web version of it. I feel more comfortable using it in my notebook.
    • Paid plans could be more flexible to support small or temporary demands.

    Never had an issue with customer support, though we never really needed anything major as far as technical help. I do not believe they offer 24 hour customer support but we don't need it as MindMeister is not the type of tool we need need 24 hour a day support for. Overall, very happy with the level of support.

    Return on Investment
    MeisterLabs GmbH
    • The most positive result of using MindMeister is a visualization of each step in work and connections between different nodes(ideas, steps).
    • This greatly simplifies the work, especially collaborative work, since it is easier to show it once than to explain things many times.
    • Negative impact: lack of offline desktop version.
