MindManager Pro 7 or MindMapper..?

June 11, 2008 zulughana Leave a comment Go to comments

I seem to be slowly losing grip of things. I dont seem to get things done when they should be done. Basically I am not in control any more, and I hate not being in control. Being not in control makes your day look very unproductive. You feel as if you have achieved absolutely NOTHING.
So, to get myself back on track, Hopefully, I am going to employ the use of MindManager Pro 7. I have heard some good things about it in the past, I quite remember employees at Morley Fund Management using a lot. And I am hoping it will be able to transform the way I approach thing on a day-to-day basis as well as regarding plans made in the future.
I am currently reviewing two products that I have come across. I have used MindManager Pro 6 in the past, and that was just on the surface. Recently I came across and similar product called MindMapper
If anyone out there has used both products before is is able to recommend which one to use, then please feel free to post a comment here

    I’ve used Mind Manager and NovaMind and went for NovaMind because:
    - better looking mind maps
    - more upbeat and open company
    - better customer support
    - faster development of the product
    - I needed both Windows & Mac support (Mind Manager has this, but their Mac version is weak)
    - The license key can be used on both the Windows and Mac versions (Mind Manager make you buy another license key)
    I guess apart from some key concrete factors that I needed, many of the things that influenced me were “warm and fuzzy” things – I felt that NovaMind care about me, whereas MindManager just wanted to take my money. YMMV, but I am very happy with my decision.

    I don’t know how all that stacks up with MindMapper – I tried to go to their web site but it was down, so didn’t try it myself, but I understand that it’s a Windows only product, so wouldn’t suit me anyway. I did try a bunch of other products, but none of them stacked up to my requirements.

    Hope this of some use

    dear Zulu,

    As I compare http://www.mindmapper.com/pro/pro12_2.asp?MENU=m7 with my MindManager Pro experience,
    I found MindManager Pro 7 have better Task Planning

    Also you could see the comparison chart of MindMapping programs at
    http://www.mindmapper.com/Mind_Map_Software_Comparison.pdf
    As you can see there, MindManager have more features than MindMapper.

    If you have time, please visit http://pkab.wordpress.com a blog that collects more than 650 articles around Concept Map and Mind Map in English and Bahasa Indonesia.

    Hope this information useful and you could decide better.

    best regards,
