Overall Satisfaction with MindManager
It's mainly used in the Technology Centre for capturing projects with multiple activities. It is not widely used; mainly used by technical managers. MindManager is a great tool for getting ideas and structures onto a single sheet. One common use is to capture ideas from "brainstorm" type meetings where multiple ideas and paths are discussed and need to be captured.

- Improved visualisation of our objectives.
- Improved quality of information management.
In brainstorm-type sessions, information can easily be categorised based on the paths created in the map. This easily allows different ideas and information to be compartmentalised which allows information to be put in the correct place. Also, the expand and hide functions allows the user to decide the level of detail they wish others to see depending on the audience it is being presented to.
I am not aware of other similar products. MindManager is the only one available in my organisation.
