MindManager is a mind mapping and project management tool that aims to boost users’ productivity. It is designed to facilitate a wide range of project types, and includes cross-platform functionality and 3rd party integrations.
Word in Outline view creates outlines but it is not possible to add pictures nor keep it in a coherent tree presentation. Powerpoint are individual slides where the audience see only the current slides without looking at its relation with all other topics. When deploying a …
Ultimately, the ability to pull ideas together and get agreement on them is the core to all software project success. Brainstorming is still how that happens. In small bursts, in conversations, or in meetings. MindManager is the best tool to capture all that and turn it into …
Did not use any. However, there are now some useful links to AI programs which create very interesting maps, really is just another way of outputting AI search results. These take the form of add ins so are not all that common now. Still it is easy to find them on line.
Occasionally I look at other mind mapping software. Sometimes I see bells and whistles that I think are "nice to have". But in terms of robustness, completeness and, last but not least, a macro mechanism (including programming language and API) they lose it all.
As an individual author, I don't have a need for many of the team and other functions of MM. For my use, as much as I love it, the cost has become prohibitive. I plan to research cheaper alternatives if MM no longer supports my version (MM 2020).
I think each of these have many positives, however from my perspective being a private business I do not want to invest in other solutions unless they have a major differentiator. My main temptation to move would be to a product that would allow me to share via Google or MS …
We researched alternatives years ago but now have a significant investment in MM maps. We considered jumping ship when product switched to a subscription model but have bitten that bullet for now.
Results Manager (developed by Gyronix and now owned by Olympic Software in Britain) integrates with MindManager and massively increases the power by running "dashboards" that sort map parts by topic, date, etc. (without changing the underlying MindManager map).
There are others I tried but I can't remember the names of them. There are things that I think are done better by Coggle and Scapple. Even some things I think MindManager did back in the MindJet days. Freedom to place topics/main topics wherever you want is super, super nice, …
I've used a stack of other tools for Mind Maps but the one that pops into mind is Miro. Whilst MM doesn't look as pretty as Miro, the usability far outweights Miro and other tools alike. For example, Miro looks great but I find it cumbersome to join the dots or add or remove …
I've seen the development of MindManager over the past 20 years and am impressed with the support of the new ownership and expansion of features as the software has undergone significant development. This is a professional product. Unfortunately, it's quite far ahead of the …
I think it was more accurately designed to help me to visualize. I first started in Powerpoint and realized it wasn't going to be enough to brainstorm new ideas and future concepts.
It is different from other project management software because it is easy to use and can be used by just about anyone. With its intuitive interface, you can create mind maps and brainstorm up to four levels of notes and ideas. It has over 50 predefined shapes to capture your …
