Dovrebbero però rendere più facile ed intuitivo l'uso di quest'ultimo. Per ora ho cambiato software per mappe, perché questo era troppo difficile da utilizzare. Anche se il prezzo del software che utilizzo ora è pari al doppio. Spero che lo rendino presto più semplice da utilizzare Pros Di MindMup mi è piaciuta sicuramente la varietà di funzioni che ritroviamo in esso. Ci sono migliaia e migliaia di modi per creare mappe, personalizzarle il più possibile e rendere ogni mappa unica. Inoltre il prezzo è abbastanza economico, considerando gli altri software per mappe mentali che troviamo in giro Cons La cosa che mi è piaciuta di meno è la poca facilità d'uso del software. Purtroppo, soprattutto all'inizio, ho riscontrato difficoltà nel creare mappe. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Now if you want to present it in a board meeting, or if you are really picky and want to be following trends in terms of "visual appeal", we can say UX/UI is not hitting points. Pros It is super, like SO easy to use. It's like creating a text document, with boxes and joining lines. It helps when you need some kind of visualization. Cons The visual part is crucial I believe when presenting or sharing information. It's very easy to use but I think the options people can use to make "design" are just not hitting points. It all end up looking very childish to me. If I want something that creates a "WOW" effect, I clearly won't go for this. It's good for "mindmapping" as it should though.

It provides easy collaboration and export options which makes sharing a mind map with the team very easy. Cons The UI can be a bit unresponsive at times, and the number of available controls can be overwhelming and hard to sift through.

Getting ideas from brain to paper is really simple. Cons Nothing. The software is basic but that is is best attribute.

Pros The ability to access it anywhere, the ability to share your maps with colleagues, the ability to manage the Teams contributions and you can work on a map together. Cons The logging-in process was a little tedious in terms of you must log in each time and its not connected to O365 so there is no SSO available.

MB Mallika B. Partner and Growth Internet ### "Easy to use, great to brainstorm" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 August 23, 2020 My experience with mindmup was mindblowing. In the beginning I thought this is a very simple program but actually that simplicity has become a positive experience. Pros easy to use, I can conveniently send a link to my colleagues to watch. You can change the colors of the text clouds. Support responds super fast and the mindmups are stored in your account so you can always access them. Cons I miss something like a straightline 'mindmap'. With the straightlines I want to indicate goals. Alternatives considered [MindNode](https://www.capterra.com/p/207384/MindNode/) Reasons for choosing MindMup MindNode was only available on Iphone/ Ipad and I wanted to access it on my laptop.

Susan D. Brand Expeditioneer Marketing and Advertising ### "Awesome tool to visualize what is in your head!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 June 16, 2020 Was up and running really quickly once I got past a few learning curve issues. But at $25 for the year, was more function than I could hope for at that price. Pros It was pretty easy to figure out how to use. Very intuitive interface for the most part. I like that I can add notes & graphics & attachments to the nodes of my map. I serves many purposes for me. Cons There were a few functions that weren't as intuitive to use. A few more help videos or explanations would have helped in the learning curve. Also, still trying to figure out how to drag nodes to a different location to make them stick... Lastly, an integrated legend would be nice to document meanings of color for example. Switched from [SmartDraw](https://www.capterra.com/p/78945/SmartDraw/) I had signed up for Smartdraw about 10 years ago. My license had expired (currently $297). Smartdraw certainly has much more functionality that MindMup however all I really wanted was the mind map system so the decision to switch was easy based on the $$ investment.

If you change the background colour of the node and then create a new one, it has been created with a default background, so you have to do formatting again manually.

BH Briana H. Author Writing and Editing ### "Practical and Business Friendly Software" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 March 22, 2020 I really enjoyed using Mindmup. I think it is overall the second-best mapping program on the market with Mindmeister being the first. This is because I am shallow and love the look and interface of Mindmeister more. At the end of the day, Mindmup has almost everything I could want in mapping software. It is just missing a bit of polish. Pros It allows you to begin mapping right away. You can change it up with the help of various features and the program has a lot of potential. I love that you can share and work with another individual along the way. Cons I wish the user interface was a bit more smooth and user friendly. It currently looks a little dated but perhaps not for business standards. I use it for creativity so I wish it was more creative looking in the design and finished product.

QF Quai F. Singer/Songwriter/Storyteller Entertainment ### "MIndmup - Useful for Basics" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 January 21, 2020 Pros Mindmup is straightforward to set up and connect with Google Drive. This connects it with you Google account and leaves a mindmup file in the folders on your Google Drive. Cons While most of the functionality works well and has some good keyboard shortcuts, it can also be a bit confusing. It's sometimes unclear which object you're leaving a comment on for example, as it has separate user pane to work on for thing like comments, but doesn't necessarily make it clear which object is being acted on.
