  • Ideas Clarification
  • Show the project in one slide
  • Brainstorming
  • Convert maps into 3D trees
  • Maps should move, interact, and show the branches alternatively... Play mode
  • The software should be more proactive. Ask (prompt) the ideas automatically.
  • Once the idea is written, it should automatically open to write the children concepts.
  • Ask the user if the map should start presenting itself in 3D mode or 2D mode showing all the concepts interactively.

I utilize MindManager for creating mind maps and facilitating decision-making processes. Moreover, it serves as a valuable tool in overseeing the projects for which I hold responsibility.
  • Convenient interface
  • No mistakes
  • It's constantly evolving
  • When I open two fairly large cards at once, sometimes it collapses
  • Perhaps some AI features could be useful, such as predicting sentences when they have already been used in this file

Over the years I've been using MindManager for project management, brainstorming, meeting summaries, books/papers studies, elaborating complex/important documents, making decisions, taking notes, making presentations, and more.
  • Project planning and control
  • Knowledge management
  • Note taking
  • Formatting maps
  • Design library
  • Bounderies
Well suited for: Brainstorming projects (specs, chronogram....); Note taking during meetings, interviews, classes; Complex documents development.

Less appropriate when you need more elaborate formatting.

I have used Mindmanager for a variety of uses over the last 20+ years including developing a Sales Strategy, adherence to Solutions Selling Processes, Project Management Gant Charts, developing international conference presentations, Documentation outlines, Developing Course Outlines and Training materials, defining Tender Response Strategies, Developing Operational Workflows for complex Border Clearance Solutions, Detailing guidelines for Biometric Consulting projects and Security Risk Management and finally developing timelines for material presented to win court cases.
  • It allows for brainstorming and the easy capture of ideas.
  • It allows for great visual presentation of material allowing you to dig down to whatever level of detail is required for that particular audience.
  • It provides an easy graphical tool for re-arranging ideas to make a logical sequence.
  • Mindmanager has many existing templates that help you document information in the most appropriate manner for the use case.
  • Mindmanager allows you to link to images, documents, and even hypertext links to make sure your mind map stays up to date.
  • I have previously had to purchase multiple licences to just be able to use Mindmanager across different platforms such as Mac OS and Windows with the different versions not always supporting the same level of functionality.
  • If you used Mindmanager on different platforms the links to document attachments were broken.
I have found it a great tool for presenting information visually, which I find an extremely useful format to stay organised. I have also found Mindmanager over the years to be extremely versatile with the templates available to use it for many varied disciplines from international sales to project management, to teaching and consulting. I have also been able to develop some of my own templates including one used to overlay the Solution Selling process onto a Mindmap and then incorporate all the traditional Opportunity Management documents that need to be updated to keep track of the sales progress.
It has been a bit of a challenge when you want to use Mindmanager across multiple operating systems as the versions that ran on the MAC O/S didn't have the same functionality as did the Windows version.

Tool to help present and organize information in a mind map.
  • Templates.
  • Present information in multiples format.
  • Import data to create a map.
  • Create a mind map based on a data source.
My recommendation will be based on the purpose. For general use, some free, open source or simple mindmap many tools are already available. For the export format in office documents, I think it was good.

  • Visuals Information.
  • Many to many object links.
  • Export to MS Excel (formatting).
+ It’s good if You want to visualize data from different views. Like categorized or filtered information. + It’s good for making smaller project plans direct from brainstormed ideas. + It’s very good for structuring a big document with different chapters. - It’s lacking when you want to visualize multi-relations between different objects.

I use MM to organize my work, starting from the annual planning to detailed activity list to organize my own knowledge management and R&D to work on publications incl artwork to create landing pages for my workshops to create interactive data visualizations (automated) to collect data via Snap
  • offering a lot of functions to visualize data
  • offering a macro language to automate map creation
  • offering a one-step function to publish an interactive mindmap in the Mindmanager cloud
  • splitting up maps when required
  • generating a complete word-document
  • generating a complete website when required
  • MM should be able to handle RTL text just like LTR text
  • MM should never stop solving little inconsistencies
  • MM should give more information on macro creation
  • MM should come with at least one new theme and marker list a year
  • MM should move from being an advanced hand-tool alone, to being a digital plotting machine as well
  • MM should come with a light weight entry edition for developing countries for free
Well suited:
  • Supporting my thinking and creating processes
  • Automatically creating maps with a thousand items
  • Publishing a map in two mouse clicks
Less suited:
  • Apart from the hierarchical mindmap, MM now supports a range of other (related) map types; that is candidate for improvements.
  • Instead of powerpoint slides, MindManager now supports creating its own slides; that also is candidate for improvements; it is a handicap that these slides only can be played from MindManager itself
  • IMHO the published HTML5 map could compete with some so-called Dashboards; so pity that the filter option only works fine for mutually exclusive marker types.

I use MindManager to setup projects, analyze problems and write reports.
  • It helps to give an in-depth view of a problem
  • It helps to structure a plan of action
  • It gives a great helicopter view of a project
  • Its a great tool for research
  • Co-editing with colleagues that don't have a mindmanager account
  • Co-editing in a google environment (not microsoft teams)
Working alone on a project Less appropriate for share. Or at least I could not find out yet how to share and collaborate easy with other that don't have the software. Because of this my colleagues are not convinced yet of its potential. It's to cumbersome to share and collaborate in a google environment

I use MM as a mystery author to help outline my novels by act (Act 1, Act 2, Act 3) initially. Then I break each act down into more detail on the MM. Finally, I use MM to help me get "unstuck" on plot points and to help me pull together various plot points/events for the conclusion. I've been using MM for outlining for at least 20 years.
  • Outlining
  • Connecting/organizing similar items/ideas, etc.
  • Helping me stay focused on the big picture of my novel instead of getting lost in the minutia.
  • Helping me move from the big picture to the details when I need to.
  • Organizing my daily/weekly/monthly/annual work projects.
  • Lower the price!!
I love to outline in MM and its ability to link related maps. Great help to me as a writer! I don't love the export of the outlines. Needs to be a cleaner, simpler look. I work around it, though. I rated the above question 6 only because it's too expensive. I've had it for years and, until recently, got almost every upgrade. I can't afford it now and may have to look for an alternative to keep updated software. Bummer!

Collecting and organising information about software development tools. Specifically information about command line arguments. There are several gotchas in GUI elements, My value to the organisation is the ability to recall the use of these applications at short notice. I may have to pick these up after not using them for 5 Years or so.

  • The ability to re-organise thoughts
  • The ability to add notes and pictures
  • The ability to work on alternative operating systems

I use it in multiple ways and is a constant companion as I have mild dyslexia and this assists me to organise my thoughts.
  • Personal organiser of ideas and projects
  • Defining Projects
  • Problem-solving
  • Creating WBS
  • Meeting Preparation
  • Brain Storming - Whiteboarding
  • Licensing - I want to buy for a decent price without a yearly cost, but with reasonable upgrade costs as needed.
  • I would like better tools to convert mind map into a good presentation in PowerPoint, currently too complex with poor results
  • Simplify all export tools
For me I try to use it all the time. I find I often need to have an assistant drive it as I facilitate, possibly a voice interface would benefit this product.

Over the last 15 or so years I've created over 700 MindManager maps.

It has become an indispensable information management tool in my consulting practice in Healthcare technology and Cyber Security. I have also used it to generate online promotions to promote fiction on the Internet, leveraging a "progressive illumination" approach.

We envision making much more use of the tool to generate interactive web pages for public consumption in support of Home & Home-based Business cybersecurity on our new site.
  • MindManager can be used to create hierarchical information management resources that can be used locally and shared on shared network drives, SharePoint repositories, Intranets, and on the Internet.
  • MindManager includes excellent search capability, supporting search across all open maps.
  • MindManager provides good export capability, supporting the generation of PDFs and interactive web pages.
  • Support attribute-based filtering in HTML exports
  • Allow customization of page widgets in HTML exports
  • Stop requiring occasional logins to work on local maps
For Information Management MM has proved invaluable in organizing information sources to support consulting engagements in the field of healthcare information technology and architecture.
For Project Management it is currently proving to be very useful in supporting the development of content for cybersecurity eBooks. Chapters and topics can easily be chunked and status-tracked, and linkages to artifacts, resources and primary sources can easily be managed.

First, MindManager helps me manage my mind which goes 100 miles an hour some days and 2 miles an hour other days. I've been using it 15 years so it's part of my life now. I used it in retail management for a large corporation and it helped me achieve 3 promotions and grow my network, while "balancing" my personal goals and daily life. There's just something about being able to dump all your thoughts out as fast as they happen and being able to bring them all back into a cohesive visual structure that's mentally liberating! 5 years ago I stepped out of corporate retail management to become a licensed building contractor at 60 yo and MM has been critical to my startup and execution plans. Now I use it to roll up my actual sales and projections and manage jobs, but once again it's helping me keeping my personal life in balance as best I can. Today I can still see where I've been over the last 15 in MM because your team has made it so everything comes with me on my journey...and I can see my future plans What else can I say?
  • brainstorming
  • incredibly flexible and easy formatting, graphics, structure, DRAG and DROP anything!
  • The new math / formula functionality
  • The only thing that bothers me is it crashing. I know I push it to the limit so I don't really care because I don't lose anything now, it recovers it. I lost some things back in the day.
I think MM can be used in any industry or personal setting which is what's AMAZING about this tool, but there are only certain types of individuals that will be able to see the potential in using it.

Originally, I was in Human Resources and used MindManager to track organizational layout (and changes), projects, unions, legal cases, and (in a smaller company) individual employees. In the smaller organization, I used the notes feature to track evaluations, discipline, and performance issues (essentially a graphic contact management system). I'm now retired from HR and write fiction, using MindManager to plot stories and make timelines, as well as manage my personal financial activities.
  • Organization charts (with the ability to quickly expand and condense detail, and make change)
  • Notes field is intensely useful for tracking items over time
  • Due dates and progress indicators (in the ResultsManager add-in) are a life saver
  • Planning story structure and timelines
  • Giving a (virtual) 3D perspective - "Yeah, that's over in the top right corner"
  • The toolbar on the latest version is blue & white, tiny, and a little hard to see in my opinion.
  • It's getting complicated, and I only use the features I need, so I may miss some things.
I've used it for 20 years for everything (personal finance, projects, and work). When I first started, the topics couldn't even collapse so the maps got very big very quickly. The newer versions have, obviously, eliminated that issue and I've used it very effectively for years managing HR in a 250-person utility. Because I was so familiar with it, it was very easy for me to use. The learning curve was pretty steep, though, so I had trouble getting other people to use it though they were always impressed by the maps I used.

I usually use MindManager for brainstorming and organizing. I primarily use either the Free Form template or the Radial Map template. I have on multiple occasions used the final draft of my maps in presentations.
  • Creating wonderful hierarchies moving from topic to subtopic to more detailed subtopics
  • When using radial maps, it does a good job of distributing the topics around the main topic
  • A more intuitive way to modify/create themes and templates...and then make the new theme the default.
  • Add Main Topics to Free Form. Also, allow Topics and Subtopics to go in any direction.
  • Allow manual positioning of topics/subtopics. For example, I may want a topic to branch off a main topic straight up. I may want the next topic to the upper right. Right now--concept maps aside (which don't do sub and sub subtopics)--I can't really do this.
  • I'd also like more control over the paths connectors take to get to their topics and subtopics.
For me, it's pretty well-suited to what I need it to do. I come up with a broad main topic and then break it down into finer and finer detail using the topics and subtopics. I sometimes need to mess with the theme or template in order to make it obvious when a subtopic should be considered a topic all on its own. I often use Radial Maps because they allow me to use an extra level of topics (the main topic) and put it in the middle of all the other topics. I would prefer to use Free From if it included a Main Topic level and the ability to branch main topics off in any direction. Also, for Free Form, let us choose which direction subtopics go from the topics (left or right or under or over).

Creating project plans and training materials. Creating status presentations. Development design. Workflow design.
  • Organize presentations
  • Provide clear work flows
  • Help with concept development
  • Creating PowerPoint presentations. Did that until MM 2019. Removed. Their presentation manager is difficult and looks horrible. Not a substitute for PowerPoint.
  • Zapier. Doesn't work at all since you can't create a MM online account to link it.
  • Macros. No documentation or recorder.
Excellent for developing task lists and capturing and organizing design ideas. While can use to organize a presentation, the results needs to be recreated in PowerPoint since there is no linkage. Good substitute for project management for small-medium projects.

I use MindManager for brainstorming and organising ideas during consulting projects.It helps me create project plans, define tasks, and set deadlines. I rely on MindManager for strategic planning, evaluating options, and making informed decisions. I use it to manage and document knowledge, including meeting notes and linked resources and presentations to stakeholders. The feedback I receive from peers and customers is that my presentations provide greater context, and flow better than typical powerpoint presentations.
  • presentations
  • timelines
  • requirements gathering and notes (I love the export to HTML page for exporting my notes to customers)
  • look and feel, 23 refresh was ok, but still feels like it needs a refresher.
  • dragging nodes to another area on the mind map can be a bit clunky
  • power filters are nice, but I seem to constantly have to set Options so the entire tree isn't hidden when filtering against an paricular icon.
Well Suited: Idea generation and organising thoughts / notes during requirements gathering sessions or meetings. Presentations to effectively communicate ideas or visualising project charters Facilitating strategic planning and decision making through visual mapping. Creation of timelines, centralising information with linked resources - which is useful for escalations Less Appropriate: Real-time collaboration requiring simultaneous editing of a single mind map - always found authentication was a bit to cumbersome to setup when stored in SharePoint. I haven't tried it any other way. Project management, imo it's better to open up Project or more specialised tools for visualising things like dependencies and allocations. Technical diagrams and modeling best left to specialised tools, but the 23 update somewhat address' this with more functionality in this space.

MindManager is used for brainstorming, info management, tasks and task tracking. MindManager's features of creating templates, especially "themes" and "marker lists" make standardization easy enough. When maps get too 'big' we create a new MM from a branch and link both maps together automatically. The use of filters to see specific info/tasks/branches is done via our well thought out use of "markers" so that all maps big and small are able to be used/filtered in the same manner. We're looking forward to now use dashboards!

Next application for MindManager is that we're creating assets using MM instead of Excel, Lucidchart, MS Project.

Last, I'm quite happy that MindManager has now significant backing for developing this wonderful software!
  • Super easy to use; everyone gets the basics and the power behind mind mapping.
  • Incredible flexibility to grow/expand on ideas and then to link them.
  • Dashboards and Gantt charts are polished.
  • MindManager is easy to use for publishing maps to non-users via browsers
  • Multi-monitor support...could be my setup here but I struggle with super large maps and I find using a set of linked smaller maps to be less grief than scrolling around a large map but I would highly prefer seeing the bigger picture. That or some hotkeys to improve using a super large map.
  • MindManager automatically adjusts the width of topics while typing...they are working on a way to turn that off; the workaround is either manually setting the width individually or using a 'match width' function.
