I would have continued with it. However, the online offer did its job ----- ### "Quick, simple, easy to understand" ā€” 4.0/5 > **Nichole** | *18 January 2018* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like being able to illustrate complex processes quickly and simply. I use XMind often when brainstorming how to complete a project or show visually how a process works to my coworkers. It's easy to learn, and even the free version gives us enough options that it meets our needs. I was introduced to mindmapping by a coworker a couple of years ago, which is how I found XMind, and have used it frequently ever since. > > **Cons**: Sometimes the layout of the tree you make can look a little strange and there's no way to change it. I wish we had a little more control over the spacing between the boxes and the lines connecting them, as sometimes a box can hang out too far or too close in your tree, and that can make things a little less visually appealing, but overall I don't have any major complaints. > > I can illustrate complex processes quickly in a short amount of time. When I show my mindmaps to coworkers they're impressed and can easily understand the concept I'm trying to get across, which is a timesaver when we're trying to brainstorm the process behind a complicated project. ----- ### "Excellent tool for Mind mapping" ā€” 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *23 August 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Mind mapping brings a lot of clarity in the thought process and Xmind does a wonderful job of using mind maps. They have a lot of templates that can be used as well. > > **Cons**: Not much. The software is very nice indeed. ----- ### "Native App for Mindmapping" ā€” 4.0/5 > **Alvaro** | *29 March 2019* | Utilities | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I've used XMind for quite some years now and I have seen how much it has matured and the devs keep on refining and adding new features to it. 1. Presentation Mode - I find using Xmind easy for presentations in terms of navigation, options for branch/child expand/collapse or even the focus/blur. 2. Brainstorming Mode - I really love this new feature which helps me and my team to focus on bringing as many ideas as possible without filtering. Xmind facilitates capturing all these ideas into digital form. 3. Xmind Zen is a complete re-write of the Xmind main app. And it is more responsive and modern. > > **Cons**: I wish they would consider my suggestion to save up and maximize screen real estate. The Top and Sidebars take so much space. Also, the icons tend to be too pixelated when zoomed in. > > Mind mapping tools abound. Xmind is my preferred native mind mapping application for its feature set, ease of use for brainstorming, organizing ideas, and even project management. ----- ### "Mind Mapping Made Easy" ā€” 4.0/5 > **Andy** | *14 December 2017* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I've used XMind for the better part of 5 years and it works exactly as intended. I've used it for everything from setting up website information architecture to mapping out org charts for the business. It's super intuitive and easy to use, with built in templates to help make development a snap. There are a variety of uses and XMind does a great job of illustrating the possibilities through their templates and tutorials. > > **Cons**: XMind features 'drag and drop' technology that allows users to rearrange secondary and tertiary items as needed after creation. While a great concept in theory, the functionality can be a bit clunky at times, not allowing the user to drop the item in the desired location. The user interface makes building and modifying mind maps easy but it isn't the most attractive thing to look at - it could use a refresh and some modernization. > > I've tried a variety of mind mapping products and none of them hold a candle to Xmind. Part of a very specific niche of software, Xmind's most powerful attribute is its simplicity. It doesn't try to do too much and what it does it does very well\!\! ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/116232/xmind?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/116232/xmind) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
