Overall Satisfaction with MindManager

I've been using MindManager for more than 20 years. Most of the time I used MM to draw mind maps during meetings and to this day, I can almost remember any discussion I had in that meeting with other participants. Even highly complex meetings I can capture with ease and if I have to write meeting minutes, it is easy to do even after days passed. This tool is that powerful. Occasionally I use it for other things too but that is not why I bought the product so many years ago.
  • Brainstorming
  • Meeting Management
  • Mind Maps.
  • Easy organize thoughts.
  • Summary of meetings.
  • I would love to use it on my iPad too.
  • I can quickly show dependencies between objectives.
  • I know how to link things together and also how to sequence them correctly.
I feel like I repeat myself but this is exactly why I use MindManager, I want to remember what was said, how we came to this conclusion. I can focus on the big view by blending out low-level comments/ideas if needed and then individually drill down into specific areas if needed.
None, I looked at others in the past and did not like any of them. Their scope was either too narrow or the tool was too complicated or it did a lousy job doing what I needed it to do. The fact that I cannot even find them on the list anymore is probably a good indicator that I was not the only one feeling this way.

This is my go-to tool for sorting discussions via Mind Maps. The visible way of organizing discussions is just the best. I could not do it without a tool like this. Even if I read a book and I want to summarize it, I use a Mind Map and stick it in the book. Online presentations where I need to get the gist of it noted down I do with Mind Maps. I love it!
