Customer Reviews

Does not work with Microsoft VISTA
I could not make it work with MS Vista premium on my Toshiba laptop. But does work with my desktop XP system. Has no interoperability with OpenOffice. Only with MS office.

A Must-Have Tool for Ideas Generators
Unlike some of the other reviewers, I am very new to MindManager and to mind mapping in general. Yet, MindManager is quickly becoming one of my most valued tools. I am a freelance Web designer and developer and I have to juggle with a lot of information. I also need to brainstorm and generate ideas quickly to solve my clients' business problems.

MindManager is helping me organize and manage my projects in a more efficient mannner than I ever could before. I have tried a lot of mind mapping applications before deciding on MindManager and some of the reasons I chose it are that, the data you add to your maps in MindManager is meaningful. Icons have meaning beyond the mere visuals, notes enhance and enrich the core ideas and task data help keep to your real world schedule. But even beyond that, this data can be exported out of MindManager in several other useful formats with all this important information or metadata intact.

You would be surprised at how many mapping applications tout MS Office integration for example when the only thing they can export to a Word document is an image of the map embedded in the document and nothing more. MindManager goes way beyond that and exports the data with styles, icons and images in an outline format. Some of my clients would find it strange for me to give them a mind map as a project planning deliverable but I've had compliments on the quality of projects outlines I have simply exported to Word directly from MindManager.

In short, MindManager was a very sound investment for my creative business and I would recomment it to anyone with similar needs.

Good product but Tech Support is terrible!
I like MindManager, and use it regularly. However, when I had a severe problem after a powerloss, it took them almosts a week to email me back (there are NO phone numbers for help on the website) and even then, all they sent me was a pro forma message suggesting I reinstall -- nothing at all about the problem or the error message I was getting from their program. So buy it, but be careful if you want any support -- they clearly don't want to support their users.
