The technology is feature rich, easy to use and reliable.

IdeaScale meets all my agency needs in fostering a culture of innovation. We enjoy the ease of use, features, and the wonderful customer service.

IdeaScale is easy to use and intuitive for users even if they have not used it before so caters to all levels of ability to use technology.

The scalability of this product is immense and we are just scratching the service on how it can impact our organization. It’s been an awesome team to work with so far.

The IdeaScale team are very helpful and assist with queries and suggestions for enhancement or improvement.

Ideascale is a great first step to building a strong crowdsourcing program. It's incredibly user-friendly, the site is easy to design, and it's a one-step process for new members to join.

Another platform is hard to get users to embrace... the government buys a lot of them. They die ignoble deaths.

Their network of users is amazing for collaborating and helping each other. Great community all around.

No channel to submit/capture unsolicited ideas.

IdeaScale is also constantly evolving to provide an even better user experience.

Intuitive for front end user with ability to customise look and feel.

Understanding that some are hesitant to try “new things,” my team had to be diligent in our quest to use this platform for ideation.

The staff including sales,  support and others we responsive, talented and passionate about the product, their individual craft and providing great customer service.

Looks like it’s very customizable. Looking forward to use the appropriate features for our organization.

I have attended a promising demo from [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] who did a comprehensive job. My goal is to imagine our organizational rollout.

The IdeaScale team has awesome customer service and support, it is always timely, accurate and courteous.

This is a great resource to manage all innovation approaches in our organization.

I like the ease of use for myself as a moderator and the end uaers.

MindMeister is a fantastic MindMapping tool. Very useful for brainstorming new ideas.

The mind map method is a great way to visualize projets and the fact that you can collaborate is the best way to use it.

And in the end I had a beautiful map of how everything should like and what I had to do.

All the advantages and freedom of traditional brainstorming, with the digital advantages of an unlimited canvas and redos. Great UI, and reliable response time.

Finally: A digital, visual, FUN way to effectively organize and boost productivity.

Good integrations - e.g. Microsoft Teams. Can publish maps to public library, embed on website or share as editable or view only.

This is a great tool that will enable you to use it the same way you did on paper. It also has a very cool feature of presentation, which allows for the gradual opening of the mind map.

But for anyone the ability to map websites or have a visual project map it is the best. At work I pay for the extra features, which are well worth it.

It's taking me weeks to learn and wasting the time I need to plan out the actual lessons and develop materials.

Ever since I stumbled upon this website, it's surprised me to know of it's existence. There can be improvements but i'm glad to use and recommend this to others.

It's easy to use and easy to co-work. I can work with my colleagues on MindMeister perfectly.

Great tool, will continue to use it. Would like to move to a subscription to use its full potential, but struggle to accept the price point (just yet).

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.

If ever I want to jot new mind maps and feel active again then I can just renew my subscription. So that's a really flexible way to use the product.

The mindmapping concept works and I am happy with the software reliability.

At school right now we are being forced to use platforms the district already bought and they are clunky and do not have comparable features.

Absolutely no learning time so you get get started 'straight from the box. Also love the integration across devices making it easy to pick things up and put things down.

I like very much because it's integrated with canban software, the Meister Task, so what I draw in the mind mapping would transfer to the canban software. Very practical and useful.

Compatibility and user friendly interface. Free even Trial version covers great amount of necessary tasks.

Limited features and all others to purchase ( costly ).

I really appreciate integration with services like Evernote, Dropbox and Google Drive.

But using MindMeister is quite fun actually (my friend recommended this to me last year). It's suitable for someone who doesn't like complex things like me :D.
