A mind mapping tool in a class of its own
Overall Satisfaction with MindManager
MindManager is one of our most widely used products across the organisation. It is our primary product of choice for the various functions, including client consulting, project management, solutions brainstorming, work tracking, productivity management, etc.
The reason for its ubiquitous presence is that it provides a richly capable canvas for capturing and organising all forms of data that need some form of structured and yet, still fluid organisation. It has become popular with users due to its flexibility to support a diverse range of information management needs without requiring any preparation or complex setup.

Pros
- Workshop capture and management: a fluid data capture tool that is unsurpassed for planning and recording information captured on the fly.

Cons
- Native iOS application.
- Reintroduction of the web-client to allow mapping via a web browser.

- Increased client engagement by being able to use visually stimulating tools.
The ability to dynamically visualise and structure information is central to what we do as an organisation.
We are a consulting organisation that spends most of its time working with clients to determine their business requirements and identify solutions to meet those requirements. When we run client-engagement sessions (such as workshops), we use pre-defined mind maps that contain the key components we intend to cover in a workshop. As a consultant delivers the workshop they are able to expand and collapse sections to ensure the client can focus on the current topic at hand and not get 'lost in the noise.'
During workshops clients will often want to reorganise their needs and requirements. The ability to move whole sections of maps is incredibly easier in MindManager thereby allowing the audience to see the immediate impact of such changes - something. you cannot do well with any other form of capture medium.
Furthermore, MindManager allows the capture of rich information within a map, beyond simple text which makes the experience for the audience even more compelling. Some examples of this include:

- The ability to attach documents such as PDFs and images in a map to ensure all relevant collateral is available directly as needed.
- The ability to capture tasks, such as follow-up actions you want to assign to a workshop attendee.
- Xmind and MindMeister
