Ayoa vs. EdrawMind

It's great for small to medium business where you need to have tracked communication and conversations that can have milestones, deadlines, supporting files, and the ability to pass the task around to multiple individuals for completion. It's not exactly useful but with some work and maintenance can be used for issue tracking and work delegation

I love it and that is all I can say. Once you are taking notes or need to make a logical argument case, it's the tool to use. It's may not so easy to use when taking when you need to dictate by voice because the voice taking gesture doesn't work well for me

• The administrative side of Ayoa is very limited.
• If a user accidentally deletes a board or leaves the company, it's a bit of a pain to get that data back.
• User administration is difficult and if a use who is invited selects the wrong link after registration they may get locked out of your invite.

• Have a method to travel from one end of the relationship line to the other end
• When printing the mindmap, have option to format the fit image to one page rather than tile it across the page multiple times
• Improve the dictation feature when writings in the mindmap. It does not work so well
• need more varied options for branching: have lightning looking branches, with a cloud being at the main start;
• have tree looking branch types, with a seed at the main start; have a river tributary looking branch types, with a spring/dam/lake at the main start; have a solar system type branching, with a sun/star at the main start; have a electron system type branching, with a nucleus at the main start; in essence some type of fractals. I can send sketch examples if you want
• Have option to include voice recording by directly recording into the branches

I've just started evaluating Planner with out recent upgrade to Business Premium but I'm finding that it could easily be used to replace Ayoa and would help offset the cost from the MS365 Business Premium upgrade by replacing another SaaS cost. It does almost all the same things, integrates in our already existing MS365 ecosystem, and is backed by Microsoft... it's just not as 'pretty' as the bubble boards

I've used Xmind, MindMeister, Mindly, Coggle, MindMup, Mindmap Maker, SimpleMind, and a few other applications to see what they offered. I chose EdrawMind after carefully consider all the available options on the market. EdrawMind came out on top for me in terms of platform support, cloud storage, aesthetics, functionality, features, customer support and ease-of-use

• Communication and follow-up has gone way up since we started using Ayoa.
• Accountability has also improved considerably since we started with Ayoa.
• It has unfortunately caused some burn out on some users because it had made it much easier to 'punt' work over to someone else without any prior communication.

• Had increased my prospective efficiency about 10x
• Number of prospects going through process have increased more than 20%
• Time it takes to do process have decreased about 30%
