Overall Satisfaction with MindManager

We use MindManager primarily for Project Planning. It provides multiple readymade templates , which makes it easier to create plans, assign tasks to stakeholder. And it gives a very good visual representation of what flow we have been thinking in our mind to execute any project.
It offers multiple layouts, which can be modified even after plan is created, and it becomes very easy to communicate within the team.
