I operate monthly sales training meeting from our home office with our 6 satellite offices and use Mentimeter as a sales training tool. The contest aspect makes it a fun way for sales executives to win prizes and learn new product information at once. The response to the new information, as well as product knowledge retention has vastly improved.
Pros
The autosave feature
Crisp, fun on screen graphics
Easy to learn in under an hour

Instructions are somewhat vague in operating the presenter mode
More contest templates to choose from

If you are looking to inject some competition in your presentations, Mentimeter is an excellent option. I use the multiple choice quiz template to introduce new information to our sales team, as well as review information that we have gone over in our previous sales meetings. Our participants use the mobile log in while we are video conferencing and it is a fairly seamless process.
It was being used during live presentations. It was used in a setting to gain knowledge of the audience that use the software presented in the live session. It is a straightforward question poll to gauge who the audience are to get a feel for the group.
Pros
It was very easy to use.
It provides an interactive way to engage the audience.
The poll can be customized to have all sorts of graphics to cater to a specific, targeted audience.
Cons
It asks the audience to follow the on-screen instructions to submit their poll responses--this can be challenging for a less tech-savvy audience.
I heard comments that some audience members had issues connecting to complete the poll, so there is room for improvement.
Likelihood to Recommend
For the most part, I think Mentimeter can be used on all sorts of occasions to get responses. It is so easy to use and it sparks interests within the audience because you are asking them to follow along, which encourages engagement. I can hardly think of any scenario that is not appropriate. If you want to get real-time feedback from the group so the data/result can be shared right in front of them, Mentimeter does a great job as a tool.
