Overall Satisfaction with MindManager

I use Mind Manager for large-scale project planning that involves numerous staff, organizational teams, support resources, and due dates. I also use Mind Manager for ideation on big ideas, masterminding my career, creating to-do lists, and even for making presentations to my team. Finally, I use it for training students in graduate school and doctoral projects, and classroom instruction.
  • Project Planning
  • Project Management
  • Ideation
  • Brainstorming
  • Customizing icons and colors in more areas is needed
  • Making it easier to insert and manage due dates, which is slightly clunky and not as intuitive or "smart" technology-wise.
  • Kill sales popups after pro versions have been purchased.
  • Better planning
  • Clear understanding of projects
  • Demonstrating workflow
I have used other mind mapping software as browser extensions or try-before-you-buy programs, but MindJet MindManager is by far superior. I've bought 5+ versions in the last 20+ years. After a business leader shared it in a presentation at a conference breakout session in the 2000s, I was hooked. I've tried other programs, but they're all wannabe versions of the powerful MindJet product.

Most Useful Scenarios: brainstorming explaining processes project planning to mastermind complex ideas or plans Less Useful Scenarios: Items needing to be tracked by calendar date, customization in certain areas of the program should be expanded for more attractive visual appeal, and some intuitive features are lacking-- a new look at the layout may be advisable... even so, Mind Manager remains best in class.
