EdrawMind vs. MindMeister

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

MindMeister is ideally suited for building mind maps, site maps, or similar types of data maps in the cloud without needing to install extra software. I find that it isn't quite as ideal for other types of diagrams (ERDs, flowcharts, etc) as some other tools, though it definitely can handle those things as well.

• Helps with flow of thought
• Makes reviewing notes easy
• Easy to switch between platforms

Incentivized

• The UI is well laid out and easy to use. The workflow makes perfect sense and makes creating tasks a breeze.
• The collaboration features make brainstorming not only easy but fun! Everyone enjoys using the tool, which was not the case with other collaboration software we used.
• I love being able to get all of my thoughts and ideas on the screen to see them and then be able to connect them in a logical way.

Incentivized

• 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

Incentivized

• I think that the free plan should offer a bit more terms of features to make the testing experience more engaging.
• My experience using the App version was not so good when compared to the web version of it. I feel more comfortable using it in my notebook.
• Paid plans could be more flexible to support small or temporary demands.

Never had an issue with customer support, though we never really needed anything major as far as technical help. I do not believe they offer 24 hour customer support but we don't need it as MindMeister is not the type of tool we need need 24 hour a day support for. Overall, very happy with the level of support.

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

I have also used LucidChart and Google Draw to create mind maps and concept maps in the past. I think that MindMeister is by far the cleanest and most user friendly of the three. Google Draw does not have anywhere near the same functionality. LucidChart tends to be clunky and the options to create your map are not always clear and intuitive.

• 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%

• The most positive result of using MindMeister is a visualization of each step in work and connections between different nodes(ideas, steps).
• This greatly simplifies the work, especially collaborative work, since it is easier to show it once than to explain things many times.
• Negative impact: lack of offline desktop version.
