## Reviews

### "One of the most versatile tool to create quick mindmaps" — 4.0/5

> **Simisara** | *November 20, 2020* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to use with quick drag-drop options
Prebuilt template to choose from
Ability to share via various means like file upload, public link, etc.
> 
> **Cons**: When relationships are to be defined it auto populates another floating topic which has to be manually deleted, which makes it a bit slow to work with initially.
> 
> Good tool in the price range offered.
They have a trial version too.
Ability to add notes via audio upload and hyperlink so that notes can be added to each nodes.

### "Powerful desktop mind mapping tool, hindered by a lack of collaboration and mobile support." — 4.0/5

> **Richard** | *October 10, 2017* | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Fast and intuitive mind mapping with great support for images and documents. Many available layouts and custom themes. Cloud sync between devices, keyboard shortcuts, and a few project management features.
> 
> **Cons**: Limited completely to the desktop. Powerful, but also overly complex, takes time to learn. Cannot freely position elements, must use pre-defined layouts. Cloud synchronization is aggravating, often results in conflicts and duplicate documents.
> 
> I use it primarily for brainstorming, it helps to be able to capture ideas and draw relationships between similar concepts. It is also helpful for creating charts and data visualizations for my team.

> **Eduardo** | *May 2, 2023* | Pharmaceuticals | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ease of interacting with the menus and options
> 
> **Cons**: It's easier than  other products to learn, I do'nt anything difficult.

### "Favourite mind-mapping tool" — 4.0/5

> **Vincent Po** | *June 23, 2019* | Information Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I used to use Freemind (Xmind is a fork of Freemind) and Xmind is the mind-mapping tool I keep going back to, despite all the cloud-based mind-mapping apps, I still prefer Xmind (I don't use Xmind's cloud service though).
I use mind-mapping very frequently and Xmind is still my favourite go-to mind-mapping tool.
> 
> **Cons**: Would love to see a free cloud-based version of this (vs only a desktop app).
> 
> Overall satisfied with Xmind, my go-to mind-mapping tool.

### "Excellent mindmapping and diagram tool" — 5.0/5

> **Ana** | *March 25, 2019* | Wholesale | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: There are enough already made templates for standard projects. Nice and simple graphic interface. Plenty of editing options. Plenty of options in context menu so user don't have to look in menus. Themes are a nice feature. Text editor as docked feature. Subscription price for ZEN version is e really good deal.
> 
> **Cons**: More editing freedom, as sometimes user can't manipulate position of topics/subtopics (or is automatically docked or is far away). Relatively slow for off-line solution (response time of docked features). Price (of PRO version) is too expensive.
> 
> Very good (but slightly) slow software for mind-mapping and diagrams in general.
