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. ----- ### "It is not task manager" ā€” 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *24 April 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: User friendly application with drag and drop feature. Better for process mapping or design of process. > > **Cons**: I have to use it as project management application and really this application is strong in another areas. > > I like it, design new processes is easy and transparent. ----- ### "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\!\! ----- ### "Free your mind from all the clutter" ā€” 5.0/5 > **David** | *12 January 2019* | Investment Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Mind mapping in general is great way of unleashing the power of our brains\! XMind is just a wonderful and easy-to-use software that can facilitate this work. It comes with all the useful features like auto-arrange, adding comments, icons, and it comes with many user templates to begin with. XMind can import your mindmaps to several formats (freemind, pdf, png/jpg, etc). I also love the brainstorming mode, and the presentation mode which I've frequently used for business meetings. > > **Cons**: Too sad that XMind Cloud closed down. But it's ok since I can just save my xmind files on my shared drive. Also, the icons get easily pixelated when the mindmap is zoomed in or when printing in larger scale. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/116232/xmind?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/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
