MindManager Reviews

MindManager is very easy to use. Just type on it and then connect the various idea into one mindmap. I also like it that MindManager allows users to link various types of documents to its mindmap. This makes it very convenient for us to elaborate our idea using other software such as Word, PowerPoint or Excel.

Nothing that I dislike from this software. MindManager is very user-friendly and able to help us in sorting our idea in easy steps.

The software has lots of different templates that you can use which allows me to use different formats depending on how I am feeling and what I am using it for. For example, meeting notes get a different template to my brainstorming maps.

It takes some time to get my mind maps to print in the format that I like. I like it takes up the whole page when printed.

MindManager helps visualize complex workflows and tasks and offers a high-level view of a project and operational work. I use this tool to help organize project information and provide it to managers for presentations. The application comes built with various templates and excellent, hands on tutorials to learn the program in a quick manner. Mindmanager has a strong interoperbility with other software and forms can be exported into various Microsoft programs, PDF, etc.

This tool is not scalable. In order to take advantage of all of its features requires extensive use by the end user. It's really a tool for a specific view in an organization.

MindManager is very user friendly and ease of use. The software helps us to find creative and non obvious solutions.

I don't like negotation part with the vendor- we don't received better price than price from official price list.

Clean and structured maps with plenty features to tune each part and each branch. Even task management or at least to indicate a projects completion is integrated. The MS Word integration is a handy tool to turn an outline into a mind-map. The flow charts are an especially nice feature to present the data. The Mindmanager is very feature rich and provides a clean interface.

The possibility to create free mind maps, that means which do not align to any grid or hierarchal structure is either very well hidden or not possible at all. That is a missing feature.

The intuitive ease of use - the sync with almost everything - the new business interfaces

nothing really - it's just perfect to me

Makes organizing a team brainstorm a piece of cake and allows for us to visually organize different projects in one file that can be managed by multiple team members.

Sometimes the layouts can be a bit unruly especially when working with a larger mind map. We usually find that if a mind map gets too big then it is time for a separate file.

great way to segment things out (projects, organizational charts, etc) that gave you a full picture of the job rather than a bulleted list

some employees couldn't follow the alternative way of the information flow

I used Mindjet for more than a decade and was very happy with the software until I migrated to Mac OS. Mindjet was for years the best mind mapping software out there and they have a solid offering which is very mature on Windows.

The pricing options are on the expensive side and the mac edition is second-grade. I downloaded the mac edition and eventually just felt that the price is too high for a product which is not 100% on par with the windows version. I eventually moved to XMind and I am very happy with my choice.

I have been using in the trial version, I found that it is great for who need to make a plan or road map for a business or personal life. It will give you full function and understand each flow of work with easy to navigate. If you are looking for planning and roadmap software then it is great for your choice. Cheers,

There is no problem on using this software because it gives full function on what I need.

Easy to use but HATE Mindjet's billing practices!

Forced upgrades.... I have used Mindjet for over 10+ years and bought upgraded versions about 4ish times in that.... when the latest OSX update they refused to put out a "patch" and forced new upgrades for the first 2+ months! No less their subscription server auto-billed an OLD credit 8 months into my "free 1 year upgrade window".... at this point only reason I have kept using it is lots of old files in mindjet format!

It is easy to use and provides a very useful tool to get started on a new Project. I use it to brainstorm at the beginning of a new Project to make sure I have an overview of the relevant Topics for that Project. MindManager gives me an easy way to organize my thoughts

I wish there was a better way to let the user determine which clusters he wants in what place. Sometimes it's a a Little bit of a pain to get things in the desired order

MindManager is easy to use because the interface is like to Microsoft products. It is great for project planning and brainstorming. It was easy to use from the start.

The cost is a downside because they update it frequently, and the upgrade cost is expensive.

It's quite easy to use, have good features and it's easy to install. I recommend checking it for mind mapping - better then paper.

Some features looks old-school, but in general it's a good tool, but sometime it feels like better paint.

It s a simple and powerfull tool to organize idea and planning to implement them. The new version (2018) add some priority view and schedulute view to your mindmap files. Now you can also export to powerpoint (pc only) because of HTML5 integration. You can also replace projet with mindmanager with Gantt Pro addition. SharePoint integration is better now than previous version.

Price is high even for upgrade and Windows version is not equal to mac version. Many functions are not available like excel sync, Dropbox integration… but mac version is half price.

Very easy to use. You catch very fast how the software operates. Many different templates of organigrams and schemas are available. The cost model is not yearly. You pay one time and you get it for a lifetime. You only pay per years for the support and updates.

It is missing some functionnalities but the developpers at Mindjet seems open to create them for you. Sometimes, you will start a diagram 2 to 3 times before finding the right model to use.

Powerful tool when you have a struggle meeting, when you have a lot of ideas, it's easy to use applying template with differents themes. It's integrated with Microsoft Outlook

No cons for MindManager. It's my favorite tool when I have struggles meetings. Just deploy any template to catch any ideas.

Very good number of templates to easily create flowcharts to org charts. There are a good number of built-in icons and images that can be added to flowcharts. Easily export your projects as images or html.

Wish it could handle bullet points better. Wish it had a slightly larger selection of images and icons to choose from.

Easy to use and great for brain storming! Great software and lots of customisation like the ability to add pictures and icons to maps

The software is a bit pricy compared to some online software but its very robust and I love how it works

The ease of use and the functionality of it.

I cannot think of a single thing yet. I am blown away with this software

Ease-of-use is key with mapping thoughts, and MindManager hits the nail on the head. Any competent PC user can dive right in to creating their mind maps.

Printing mind maps in MindManager could be optimized - we always find that they must be printed on A3 and still often come out with very small text.

Ease of Use Great Visuals Keyboard control without need to use mouse Great for GTD methodology Excellent method for project planning and brainstorming

Depending on how large your mind map is it can be difficult to print your mind map in a font that is large enough to easily read.

MindManager is very easy to use. Great in requirement or brainstorming meetings. And I find many of the new features continue to enhance my work

I found it difficult to use when linking to databases.

Best mind map software on the market! Easy & FUN to use. Can use it to document business processes. Easy to edit and make changes.

A bit expensive. Wish there were a few more icons & labels available.

Being able to graphically develop and represent my thoughts, then share the same.

Whist a novice user can quicly use it , certain advanced functionality would require training
