Overall Satisfaction with MindManager

There is one specific shortcoming of MindManager that I wish to share and that its lack of support for Windows Scaling. I use MindManager primarily these days for process mapping and whilst there are still some improvements that could be made to this feature, it does a good job of providing a processing mapping tool that is easy to use and support a range mapping tasks from simple to complex. One challenge with this activity is that ability to see the whole or most of the process on one screen. I have therefore invested in a larger 43" screen with a higher resolution giving me more 'real estate'. When using larger screens that are now increasingly common, it is usual for the user to adjust the Windows Display Scaling to a percentage higher than 100%. This work perfectly for every application I use, apart from MindManager. Instead, MindManager outputs a less sharp screen display on scaling levels > 100%. This reduction is visual display clarity is significant and has caused me to have to retain 100% scaling, to the detrimental use of other applications in order accommodate MindManager use. Please improve screen presentation to support Windows display scaling. Thanks Steve

Pros

  • Simple process mapping
  • Complex and flexible marker attribution
  • Ease of us

Cons

  • Process mapping automated display rendering - needs to just work without resizing the text in topics
  • Windows scaling support is missing
  • Custom tag management centralised across multiple maps
  • Low effort to create content to present to clients
  • Professional looking output even with the low effort to produce
  • Knowledge sharing much easier
  • Process Mapping
  • Meeting Management
  • Problem Solving
  • Task and Project Management
We use MindManager to define all our processes collaboratively with client before we apply RPA technology to automate work. MindManager allows me to create these maps simply and in a format that is easy for other to consume the information they represent.
