MindManager Adds GPS to Your Maps
- Super easy to use; everyone gets the basics and the power behind mind mapping.
- Incredible flexibility to grow/expand on ideas and then to link them.
- Dashboards and Gantt charts are polished.
- MindManager is easy to use for publishing maps to non-users via browsers
- Multi-monitor support...could be my setup here but I struggle with super large maps and I find using a set of linked smaller maps to be less grief than scrolling around a large map but I would highly prefer seeing the bigger picture. That or some hotkeys to improve using a super large map.
- MindManager automatically adjusts the width of topics while typing...they are working on a way to turn that off; the workaround is either manually setting the width individually or using a 'match width' function.
- $400 for the ability to do a project mapped out or hierarchical.
- Ability to lay out all the tasks and Gantt them - included.
- Ability to share maps with anyone with a browser - included.
- Putting all info into a MindMap allows for very quick and intuitive (re)sorting of the information...something that would be much too painful in Word
- As for other 'mindmapping' software, MindManager is the most feature-rich, professional application of the lot
- MindManager goes beyond just mindmapping and allows for actually sorting and using the information much more readily and intuitively than lesser programs
- MindManager is constantly improving the integration between desktop and mobile, user and non-user
