MindManager

MindManager is more fluid in the workflow of creative abstract thoughts to functional design requirements for software.

None of these products have the comprehensive functionality of MindManager, combined with ease of use and intuitive interface.

My company will [not] allow other programs on our work computers. [This] is also why [I] have it on my private [PC]. I need to move files. Give me bowtie!

MindManager is so good I have never used anything else.

We have used several types of mind map software from freeware to paid and the biggest frustration is ease of use. Sometimes we forget how we did something or settings were updated with a new version and we cannot navigate the menus. What we needed most was a user friendly software that could potentially be accessed offline in case we were in a plane or somewhere without WiFi.

We actually use all of them. We chose MindManager as we wanted to try out some new software in case it would be a better fit than the others. So far, while better, we haven't been using it extensively. We will most likely look to purchase some other software since MindManager hasn't really found full use.

I am no familiar with what you are asking. I do not have enough knowledge about the matter, so I cannot answer this question.

Just not an intuitive tool like Mindmanager and lacking in overall function.

I saw a sales engineer use [MindManager] using a meeting 10 years ago and did not evaluate alternatives

I have tried a few others, but always come back to MindManager. I have tried to use Microsoft Visio as a 'MindMap', but nothing compares to MindManager. It is the 'gold standard' for MindMapping.

One or two many years ago. I can't remember their names. None of them had the functionality of MM.

Before COVID, I almost always did strategic planning by drawing maps on walls using posters and post-it notes. Now that everything is virtual, I am regularly finding the need to use other online products for the ideation process. While I find that MindManager is not as easy to use, I like the ability to share the link to maps so that the whole team can see where the projects are and what work still needs to be done.

MindManager was recommended to us by another organization that had quite success with the software. We have been in a position to consider alternatives at this point. MindManager seems to be quite competitive in its licensing and price offerings.

I've equally enjoyed Smartsheet throughout the years. My mind tends to work in rows and columns as well as the clockwise effect of Mindmanager.

I am pretty much accustomed to using MindManager. Used Xmind only on a limited basis.

MindManager is clearly the easiest to use and most powerful and most intuitive mapping software I have used. I had used the Brain, but find MindManager easier to use, with more features and more useful for all types of data management. I'm not aware of any other products that even come close to offering all the features found in MindManager.

Much more intuitive than other diagramming software.

Never used anything else!

Ease of use and great presentation of material.

I have been a long-time MindManager user, so haven't considered any other tools. I started mind-mapping with a very early version.

Sorry, this is the only tool of this kind I used.

I have not used any other product like MindManager.

MindManager is a more mature product than most other products that we have reviewed or tried for mind mapping and project planning. It is very feature-rich, and since it has similar styles to the Microsoft suite of products, users are familiar with the interface and find it easy to navigate. The biggest drawback with MindManager is its inability to support a project file that the entire team can work on. Each file has to be owned by 1 person, and collaboration has to be scheduled in "co-editing sessions" which are only available through an additional paid add-on. I do not recommend this product for project teams.

MindMeister is easier to use than MindManager, but MindManager has more functionality -- and this is probably why MindManager is not as simple and straightforward to use as the other.
