"A fun and engaging way to make meetings more interactive"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Mentimeter?

I really like how easy it is to use and how quickly you can set up interactive polls or quizzes. It makes workshops, retros, and even sprint reviews much more engaging. I often use it to collect quick feedback from my team, and people actually enjoy participating instead of just sitting through another presentation. It’s super intuitive, clean, and works seamlessly during live sessions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mentimeter?

The only thing that sometimes frustrates me is the limitation in the free version. A few more slides or question types would make a big difference for smaller teams that don’t always have a budget for premium tools. I also wish the export options were a bit more flexible for sharing results afterward. Nothing major, just small improvements that would make it even smoother.

"Flexible and Engaging Surveys, But Needs Better Slide Integration"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Mentimeter?

It is really useful being able to quickly generate a questionaire or survey to conduct a quick bit of engagement with a team. The ability to display results live as people respond, or to hide them as responses come in to give a 'big reveal' is really helpful.

The range of different question types that are supported, and the ability to customise most of it means that it is really flexible for loads of business uses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mentimeter?

It would be great if it was easier to add banks of text and images to the question slides. This would allow me to build my presentation within Mentimeter and have the questions appearing as I went through the slides. As it is I have to switch between Mentimeter and Powerpoint which is a bit clunky.

With that feature I would likely switch completely to Mentimeter for all of the workshops that I run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortlessly Engages Students in Lectures"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Mentimeter?

I really appreciate how easy Mentimeter is to set up and start using, which makes it very accessible for educators like me who need quick and efficient tools in the classroom. The platform plays a significant role in my teaching, particularly in engaging engineering students who are often introverted or shy. Mentimeter allows all students to participate in lectures without the pressure of speaking up in a group setting, thus fostering inclusivity and engagement. I frequently use its polls and word clouds features, which are excellent for eliciting short responses and capturing the students' inputs dynamically. This capability not only enhances interaction but also enriches the educational experience. Moreover, the overall ease of use of Mentimeter is a compelling factor that makes me consider repurchasing it, as it facilitates student engagement with minimal hassle. My positive experience with these features is evident as I rate my likelihood of recommending it to others at nine and a half out of ten. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mentimeter?

I dislike that Mentimeter does not integrate with Canva. It would be convenient to have Mentimeter questions built directly into Canva presentations, avoiding the need to switch back and forth between different tabs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Highly Flexible, Easy-to-Use Virtual Polling for Any Workshop"
5/5
What do you like best about Mentimeter?

It is a highly flexible, easy-to-use virtual polling platform that makes it simple to create integrated or standalone polls. These polls can be adapted to a wide variety of workshops, questions, and templates. And can be integrated directly into presentation software to enable seamless discussion of results in real time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mentimeter?

The powerpoint integration can be a little fiddly/laggy at times, so I've had to occasionally switch to showing the results in the mentimeter presenter browser page. It's a minor thing, but could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Engaging and Easy to Use, But UX Needs Refinement for Respondents"
4/5
What do you like best about Mentimeter?

It's easy to use and aesthetically pleasing. It helps me make my lectures more engaging in an easy way. I now use it every week a couple of times per week. It's very easy to integrate within the lecture flow. The different poll/quiz options that it offers is great (although it could be improved further). It is very easy for respondents to access and engage with the questions, which is a big plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mentimeter?

The User Experience could be polished a bit further, especially when it comes to enabling respondents to follow their own pace. There could be more advanced ways of exporting data to facilitate data analysis. Although it can be integrated in PowerPoint, I've found that this can be improved. I typically only show the QR code and joining code on a slide and then switch to the Mentimeter website, switching back to the PowerPoint when I'm done with the Mentimeter. It's not ideal but it works well, unlike the integration with PowerPoint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great way to engage students and faculty/staff alike"
5/5
What do you like best about Mentimeter?

The ease of copying PowerPoints into the presentation so easy integration. There are also some fun templates that can be used so that a presenter doesn't need to start from scratch. We use Menti for all of our classes for capturing attendance and the download function is quite easy to use and share. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mentimeter?

I wish there were more "fun" templates to choose from and I also wish you could more easily copy slides from different templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Students loved the experience"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Mentimeter?

I recently started lecturing using Menti without PowerPoint. I particularly enjoyed how it enhanced audience engagement through interactive slides. The use of open-ended questions, polls, and ratings allowed for dynamic and participatory sessions. Incorporating quizzes with a leadership board also effectively gamified the class, enriching the student experience and making learning more enjoyable and interactive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mentimeter?

It could benefit from a more flexible slide design, multiple answer options in quizzes, and easier image positioning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Enhances Classroom Engagement with Intuitive Visualizations"
5/5
What do you like best about Mentimeter?

I have been using Mentimeter for about ten years for class engagements, particularly for its polling services and the creation of word clouds, which are very useful for getting input from students. I prefer the visualizations of Mentimeter over other tools like Kahoot or TopHat. Mentimeter is very user-intuitive; there is no need for creating accounts for users to submit information, and its URL is easy to use on any device. I particularly appreciate the tool's capability to create word clouds in real time, allowing for immediate visualization of inputs. Setting up Mentimeter is straightforward and user-friendly, especially when creating presentations with various question types, such as multiple choice and open-ended questions. This platform excels at gathering input, particularly in large lecture classes where interaction is generally challenging due to students' hesitancy or social anxiety. Mentimeter enables the aggregation and real-time display of input, stimulating broader classroom discussions. I find Mentimeter particularly strong in handling unstructured, open-ended data which other tools may not always handle as effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Engaging Tool for Class Discussions"
5/5
What do you like best about Mentimeter?

I find Mentimeter extremely easy to set up and use, which has been crucial for integrating it into my teaching. Its ability to create multiple-choice questions and word clouds greatly enhances classroom engagement and encourages students to voice their opinions confidently. It integrates well with PowerPoint, making it an indispensable tool for my classes. Additionally, it allows all students to participate, even in larger classes where not everyone can speak up. This feature empowers students and sometimes even shifts their perspectives after seeing other responses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mentimeter?

Nothing really. Maybe it'd be nice if it were easier to edit directly in powerpoint, rather than the browser? and it'd be nice if I were easily able to see all the responses appear when in presenter mode, when they take up more than the textbox (I can't scroll when presenting) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless Lecture Tool with Easy Integration"
4/5
What do you like best about Mentimeter?

I find Mentimeter incredibly useful as it allows integration of audio and visual materials seamlessly and aids in engaging with undergraduate students who may not be willing to participate actively in a large class setting. It provides various interactive methods to engage students. The ease of use and the ability to upload slides in various formats quickly stand out for making my lectures more dynamic and interactive. I particularly value features like word cloud, open-ended questions, rankings, and multiple-choice options as they enhance the interactivity of my classes. This ease of use significantly influences my decision to continue using Mentimeter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mentimeter?

I think sometimes video is not always easy to integrate, particularly if they're from dedicated websites. While YouTube is easy, not all links are easily uploadable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
