Occasionally I look at other mind mapping software. Sometimes I see bells and whistles that I think are "nice to have". But in terms of robustness, completeness and, last but not least, a macro mechanism (including programming language and API) they lose it all.

As an individual author, I don't have a need for many of the team and other functions of MM. For my use, as much as I love it, the cost has become prohibitive. I plan to research cheaper alternatives if MM no longer supports my version (MM 2020).

I think each of these have many positives, however from my perspective being a private business I do not want to invest in other solutions unless they have a major differentiator. My main temptation to move would be to a product that would allow me to share via Google or MS products, simply and easily but keeping the format to my design.

We researched alternatives years ago but now have a significant investment in MM maps.
We considered jumping ship when product switched to a subscription model but have bitten that bullet for now.

Results Manager (developed by Gyronix and now owned by Olympic Software in Britain) integrates with MindManager and massively increases the power by running "dashboards" that sort map parts by topic, date, etc. (without changing the underlying MindManager map).

There are others I tried but I can't remember the names of them. There are things that I think are done better by Coggle and Scapple. Even some things I think MindManager did back in the MindJet days. Freedom to place topics/main topics wherever you want is super, super nice, as well as choosing in which direction, up, down, left, right, or otherwise, you can have subtopics head off to. For Coggle, their default theme is just a lot nicer. But, ultimately, MindManager has a lot of functionality those don't have built-in. For example, Scapple is both too simple and too complicated at the same time. The amount of reading required to do anything halfway interesting with such a basic tool is ridiculous and its inability to really illustrate hierarchies of ideas and do so with a compelling format is just too limiting.

  • Miro
I've used a stack of other tools for Mind Maps but the one that pops into mind is Miro. Whilst MM doesn't look as pretty as Miro, the usability far outweights Miro and other tools alike. For example, Miro looks great but I find it cumbersome to join the dots or add or remove nodes in a tree view or process.

Additionally, I like the ability to be able to add attachments or images quickly in MM, which is added context you don't get from other mapping tools.

I've seen the development of MindManager over the past 20 years and am impressed with the support of the new ownership and expansion of features as the software has undergone significant development. This is a professional product. Unfortunately, it's quite far ahead of the adoption of 'mind mapping' as a practice. That said, any person or organization willing to utilize mind mapping to the extent that it can be used will find this software takes care of those needs. To date we are still finding how to become more efficient/effective through MindManager's features...

I think it was more accurately designed to help me to visualize. I first started in Powerpoint and realized it wasn't going to be enough to brainstorm new ideas and future concepts.

It is different from other project management software because it is easy to use and can be used by just about anyone. With its intuitive interface, you can create mind maps and brainstorm up to four levels of notes and ideas. It has over 50 predefined shapes to capture your ideas and you can also add your own shapes. The software does come with a steep price tag, however. The free trial period is more than enough to see if the software is worth the cost.

MindManager is software that you can install on your computer and you can trust that your information is safe and confidential. Other similar products use open website platforms that store the information in clouds and you can't really control who has access to the information you are putting in there.

None, I looked at others in the past and did not like any of them. Their scope was either too narrow or the tool was too complicated or it did a lousy job doing what I needed it to do. The fact that I cannot even find them on the list anymore is probably a good indicator that I was not the only one feeling this way.

Mural mapping is more colorful and easy to flash but the notes are missing and that is a big one for me. Microsoft Powerpoint is just a baby... no noting, difficult to maneuver the "buckets".
