Overall Satisfaction with MindManager

My organisation currently uses MindManager to wireframe ideas for different business functions. These include product development, marketing, and event planning. We also plan to expand the use of the product to financial (budget) management and resource planning. MindManager was chosen after product evaluation since it had the essential features needed.

Pros

  • Easy to use/Intuitive
  • Supports different platforms
  • Very good technical resources/training

Cons

  • Accessibility features for navigation
  • It has helped my organisation improve collaboration
  • Complex scenarios can now be broken down into actionable tasks
  • Helped improve product development cycles
  • Strategic Planning
  • Brainstorming
  • Process Mapping
  • Enterprise Collaboration
  • Task and Project Management
For the development team, they have challenges to describe what the product logic is. The product has helped break down the complexity and this helped with the design and configuration documentation. For the technical writer, it made it simpler to understand what the product feature does and in turn, it has helped produce better 'how-to' guides for end users.
Previously we used and loved Microsoft Visio, but the product has not improved much. The subscription pricing also increased so Visio is only licensed to users who need it. Everybody else now uses MindManager.

Do you think MindManager delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with MindManager's feature set?

Yes

Did MindManager live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of MindManager go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy MindManager again?

Yes

It is well suited for a quick prototype of product/development planning to show relationships amongst the APIs used. This helps developers understand the impact of the product changes and identifies the need to update integration components to avoid erroneous deployments. I have not personally experienced a less appropriate scenario at the moment.
