Avaliações do Mentimeter

A smart tool that looks slick but has some frustrating limitations

Comentários: We like Mentimeter a lot. You can be up and running with it in minutes, and it takes literally seconds to create a typical wordcloud or other slide. It looks amazing to those answering the questions. There are downsides though and I hope future updates will add functionality and improve the experience for paying users.

Vantagens:

Mentimeter allows you to easily (very easily) create and launch live, interactive polls, surveys and quizzes and create cool things like wordclouds in real time. It has a really smooth mobile integration through the use of QR codes which is a killer feature in the modern age. We have frequently had "wow moments" in meetings, workshops and training sessions using Mentimeter as people see animated quiz standing come in in real time and the like. Zero learning curve from the users point of view and almost frictionless.

Desvantagens:

It has a few limitations that make it less slick from the point of view of the person using it compared to the people answering the questions. It does not integrate well with Powerpoint. There is an outdated and never updated plug in which crashes all the time and thus unusable. The other option is to import your slides into Mentimeter and do the whole thing from there. This is not always advisable because animations are not preserved and the general look of the slides suffers. Without PPT integration, if you are running a remote session using Zoom or similar you are forcing people to navigate away from your window to use Mentimeter and then relying on them coming back to see the results come in in real time. It damages the experience tremendously. You get around this by showing QR codes and having them do it on their phones, but still, not ideal. Another issue is that moving or otherwise adjusting slide shows inside Mentimeter is a huge pain. Drag and drop to change the order of slides is basically broken, so me and my team always make sure everything is in order before importing (if we even use importing, see above). Even a no-integrated session with more than a few Mentimeter slides is a huge pain to adjust. Finally, although they claim that switching between say PPT and Mentimeter on the fly is easy, it inhibits you from easily and smoothly moving to the next question. Not ideal.

Mentimeter reduces barriers in the classroom

Comentários: Love it - it's a wonderful pedagogical tool that helps me to connect with all of my students.

Vantagens:

I love that I can collect real-time responses from my students - quantitative and qualitative data. Allows my shy students to provide their voice in a non-threatening manner.

Desvantagens:

I have the free version only so I'm limited on what I can do.

Menti, once a great product now practically useless

Comentários: It was great from 2020 to 2023. It is now completely useless in 2024. Company refuses to issue a refund for my remaining balance of 2024 despite being a long-term user. Avoid at all costs!

Vantagens:

Quizzes used to be great, fun, engaging, and impactful before the degradation of the program in 2024

Desvantagens:

In 2024 it is now completely useless. No more leaderboards for the quizzes (all my leaderboards from 3 years of saved quizzes have disappeared with no way to bring them back). In 2024, you are now forced to use templates that quite honestly suck beyond belief - they look like some a grade schooler would put together.

Good start

Vantagens:

Mentimeter has a great on the spot survey/knowledge check feature.

Desvantagens:

Price and limited features compare to Kahoots

Engaging and Easy to Use

Comentários: A good user experience overall, plenty of features

Vantagens:

easy to use Flexibility Sharing with others Customisable Variety of layouts/options

Desvantagens:

A bit hit and miss in integrating into ppt. Sometimes had to exit ppt and present from web browser

After many years of loyalty, we can't suggest Mentimeter to anyone now...

Vantagens:

Interactivity was fantastic when we originally migrated to Mentimeter. Loves the creativity and ingenuity of the team.

Desvantagens:

Their app recently stopped working properly: Because of a change the company made, audiences can't effectively use browsers to participate and vote during presentations. Sadly, their customer service folks responded with a fix may never come. So we can't keep investing all of our presentation materials on a platform that handles issues with longtime customers like this. This also means we are in the process of canceling not only our subscriptions but dozens of our clients that we help handle their tech purchasing. We can't stand behind companies that handle things like this. We stand behind companies even more than products, so we are sad to have this happen.

Mentimeter review

Vantagens:

Mentimeter provides a wide range of functionalities for live presentations. It allows to engage participants interactively.

Desvantagens:

I have not noticed any major issues with Mentimeter so far.

Easy of use. No pricing flexibility.

Vantagens:

I like that is very easy to use and customize. The activities for students are enjoyable Mentimeter offers a lot of options to create them.

Desvantagens:

You can't pay monthly. Just by year. This is an issue because in my case, I pay for these types of applications when I need them. I don't like to pay for apps that I'm not using.

Excellent choice

Vantagens:

Create engaging, interactive, and collaborative presentations that drive audience participation and feedback is so easy with Mentimeter.

Desvantagens:

Mentimeter requires a stable internet connection to function, which can be a problem if the connection is slow or unreliable.While Mentimeter offers a range of customization options, some users may find that the platform's design and layout limitations can be restrictive.

Great for presentations and training

Vantagens:

I like that it is easy to use, that it keeps on improving, it is essential for our training, whether we use it in person or online. I recommend it to everyone.

Desvantagens:

I think it can keep innovating, and become a tool with other things, we use other tools like MIRO, MURAL or KAHOOT, and would rather have one platform for everything.

Excellent tool for presentations and feedback!

Vantagens:

I just love Mentimeter, it is so easy to use and so nice to see the results, therea are the options you have to choose for the result. I like the word cloud the best and the polls for activities I use weekly with my students.

Desvantagens:

There is nothing I don't like about the app. However for the free use you have just 2 slides to use. For more than 2 slides you have to buy a plan.

Mentimeter for sharing ideas

Comentários: If you do not need to many questions it is very usefull, the results are immediate and easily to be shared and seen

Vantagens:

Mentimeter is very usefull to share ideas, like create a word cloud and see results od polling or questions

Desvantagens:

The free part of the program only permits to create only three slides (poll or question or word cloud)

Easy to Implement Assessment Tool

Vantagens:

Our nonprofit education team was able to easily set-up and integrate Mentimeter into our virtual workshops to gather feedback and engage our community.

Desvantagens:

I'd like to be able to download a report that highlights the answers from different polls (ie the surveys from three different dates or sites) without having to re-use the same survey.

A Professional Engagement Tool

Comentários: Overall it is an attractive engagement tool and it allows participants to answer polls anonymously which offers valuable information for me as a presenter.

Vantagens:

It is easy to set up and the interface is very professional when displaying the interactive surveys and polls. It is a great tool to build engagement with the audience as I give marketing presentations for my business.

Desvantagens:

It does not integrate well with PowerPoint which made my presentation crash and also causes participants to have to switch between the PP and the Mentimeter poll which took away from the experience of my presentation.

A better software than PowerPoint

Vantagens:

Being able to interact with viewers instantly makes this software more eye-catching than competitors such as Microsoft, simply because of this innovation has allowed Mentimeter to be a clear choice when someone wants to measure how attentive their audience is and make the viewer feel that they are being heard.

Desvantagens:

The fact that you have to pay for some tools makes some people not allow themselves to use this great software, it is true that it has some free tools and that you can work with them without any problem, but the fact that you are always receiving a notice to pay, ruins the experience of the software.

Great Tool and Easy to Use

Comentários: I use this software at least once a week. It makes my classroom more engaging. It also keeps all data nice and neat for me. Mentimeter is so easy to use. It has many different options so you can change up your questions or your quiz so they don't look the same every time. Wonderful product!

Vantagens:

I really like how Mentimeter is easy to use. I have created a few questions as an exit ticket for my students last minute. I have also used this tool for vocabulary, to see how my students were feeling about their homework, and also to see if they are understanding a topic. I love that you can get instant feedback in a variety of ways.

Desvantagens:

The software only allows you to create two questions with the free version. But other than that, it is a wonderful tool to help engage my students.

Mentimeter - A great tool to collaborate with your audience!

Comentários: Overall I think Mentimeter is a fun engaging tool and can be relied upon to engage with your audience. If you are looking to get a real-time feedback from your audience and the result to be shared with them instantly, then Mentimeter is the tool to use. Internally, it's a great way to gather feedback from employees, while staying anonymous.

Vantagens:

Mentimeter provides an easy way to engage with your audience in minutes. The polls can be customized in minutes and they are both desktop and mobile friendly.

Desvantagens:

What we like the least is the number of customizations. Mentimeter needs to allow more customizations, especially on the theming side and the slide templates. Often times audience also complaints about being unable to vote or reach the slides, so I hope this is improved soon.

Wonderful LIVE results

Comentários: I love Mentimeter because it's a great way to engage my audience and ensure that they feel included in my workshops.

Vantagens:

I use mentimeter in almost every workshop that I do. With mentimeter, I am able to solicit the audience response and show it in a word cloud LIVE during the presentation. My results and slide don't disappear over time, and I can always duplicate or view a prior slide. I love the options to hide results, to change the number of entries, and to stop and start the polling. Mentimeter also consistently add new features to their platforms, and I'm always happy to try them. Plus, you can use a lot of the features for free.

Desvantagens:

Under the free account, you cannot create a mentimeter slide with a feature too far in advanced; you either get 2 days or 7 days for the presentation mode/slide feature to stay active because the voting code for the presentation becomes inactive after that time period.

Great for interactive presentations

Comentários: We have used this product many times and would recommend it to others. It is easy to use, can be accessed from anywhere, and most importantly is user friendly for those who are attending a presentation. Even those who aren’t tech savvy can participate

Vantagens:

After looking into many interactive presentation softwares, mentimeter came out on top. The thing I liked most about this product is that presentation attendees need not create a login, it is as simple as going to a website and typing in a code. This was a must for my needs. As I used this product, functionality became more clear. One feature that is really beneficial is the presentation shows up on users devices- this allows them to follow along AND not get distracted by other items. It is really nice that you can upload a PowerPoint and incorporate menti questions into your customized template.

Desvantagens:

The free version of this website is very limited, however, menti did give a discount to nonprofits so even on a tight budget, it is affordable.

Taking the concept of interactive to new levels

Comentários: Superb tool for polling during presentations

Vantagens:

First, just to say, I'm glad I came across Mentimeter. Mentimeter is a great presentation tool that allows the presenter to engage and interact with the audience in real-time. It's polling feature is awesome and allows you to set the questions and your audience can give their input using a mobile phone or any other device connected to the Internet. It is an easy-to-use online tool and can be used as a major boost for one meeting and presentation. Everyone out there should use this tool. It's quite fun to use.

Desvantagens:

I have yet to come across a con for Mentimeter. Maybe my vision is a bit blurred and I am failing to see, up to this point, the drawbacks. The only disadvantage I can mention is really related to people, the audience. And how truthful they are with the presentation polls.

Great Quick Response

Vantagens:

The ability to use this quickly with my students is a huge plus. I enjoy using the word cloud slide to have students place responses that form into a cloud. It is nice that this has an explicit language filter as well.

Desvantagens:

The pricing is expensive for an education app. You can do 2 free slides, but besides that it will be a monthly fee or a yearly fee which is expensive.

Great tool to sense opinions and engage audiences

Vantagens:

Menti enables everyone to include polls and quizzes into presentations, boosting audience engagement and interactivity.

Desvantagens:

A pay-per-use pricing model would be nice as a subscription is not feasible for those only running a limited number of presentations.

Mentimeter through online teaching

Comentários: Great

Vantagens:

I love it through my teavhing online .My students love it alot

Desvantagens:

Nothing .It is good as general in shape and stylr

Group Interactions at its best

Comentários: Interactive Presentations and Polling

Vantagens:

Great presentation tool that allows the host to engage and interact with the audience in real-time. The polling feature is lovely and allows for the setting of questions and the audience can give their input using a mobile phone or any other device connected to the Internet.

Desvantagens:

No cons for me. But since I have to put something, you can't control , how truthful the audience are with the presentation polls.

An efficient way to get instant feedback

Vantagens:

It is fast and easy to use. Allows the users to remain anonymous so they can feel more comfortable indicating their opinions. Excellent charts to present the poling of the results which is quite handy to verify how your audience feel about a presentation.

Desvantagens:

There are quite a few bugs: Sometimes the app doesn't remember the event code. There are times when a question cannot be skipped. It is sometimes problematic to access the results from my PC.
