Larkware    ConceptDraw MINDMAP Pro review

Reviewed by Mike Gunderloy

Review of mindmapping tool

ConceptDraw MINDMAP is a mind-mapping package built on the foundation of the basic Visio-like ConceptDraw Professional package (which I reviewed http://www.larkware.com/Reviews/conceptdraw.html a while back). The result is a mix: you get some dedicated mind-mapping functionality, but if you want to bang out a quick network diagram or organization chart you can do that too. Indeed, you can drop shapes from any of the ConceptDraw libraries on a mind map, as well as use its general-purpose drawing tools to tweak things.

Review of mindmapping tool

I have personally reviewed your latest version of Concept draw Mindmap, it is indeed an excellent Mind mapping program that shall benefit many within the business community who wish to be more graphical in their communication formats.

I am very impressed with the graphical qualities of version 4, it is in my estimation an equal competitor with and to Mindmapper 4.5 pro.

Review of mindmapping tool

This powerful application is harder to define than it is to use to visually display, develop and communicate ideas.

It’s easy to be jaded after a decade or two of wading through PR hype about PC software. It’s finding the proverbial needle in a haystack that keeps you upbeat. I found such a needle when FedEx delivered a package this week from the Ukraine. ConceptDraw MINDMAP Professional Edition 4 didn't just live up to its PR, it far surpassed it...

Review of mindmapping tool

If you want to really explore what mind mapping can offer, in all its wonderfulness…

All the nice colourful slightly more artistic maps you see on my site have been done using ConceptDraw.

…ConceptDraw MindMap is what mind mapping is all about, and is my recommendation.

Reviewed by Tobias Engler

Themenbezogene Bibliotheken vereinfachen die Gestaltung. Da jede Mind Map selbst ein Objekt darstellt, kann man leicht umdisponieren: Verschiebt man ein Unterobjekt, wandern alle zugehörigen Attribute mit.

Profis erfreut das Programm durch Zeichentools wie Freihand-Kurven, Lineal oder Konnektor; umfangreiche Formatierungsfähigkeiten fur Grafik- und Textobjekte hat es ebenfalls in petto.

Article by Christopher Jacob

Neue Dokumente lassen sich in der Anwendung MINDMAP eigenh¤ndig, mit einem Assistenten, einer bestehenden Vorlage oder mit dem Brainstorming-Modus erstellen.

Ist man geìbt, bringt man seine Gedanken fast so schnell ins Brainstorming-Fenster wie mit Bleistift aufs Papier. Zur Zeitkontrolle ist in das Textfenster rechts eine Stoppuhr integriert. Die eigenh¤ndige Eingabe eines MINDMAP-Dokuments ohne Assistenten erfordert mehr Zeit.

XL Team.NET    ConceptDraw Line review    
http://www.xlteam.net/

Il ne nous a pas été facile de faire le tour de toutes les fonctionnalités de la gamme ConceptDraw, les différents logiciels fourmillent d'outils d'édition vectorielle d'une extreme précision. On apprécie la compatibilité avec "Office", notamment entre "Presenter" et "Power Point", par ailleurs on retrouve aussi cette compatibilite avec les plus grands logiciels tels que "AutoCad" mais également entre les systèmes Mac et Windows.

En bref, ConceptDraw est un monstre de puissance en matière de vecteurs et nous vous le recommandons fortement si vous ne parvenez pas à réaliser vos schémas convenablement !

Article by Alain Lalisse

Le mode graphique est assez int©ressant. Sur chacune des id©es, on va pouvoir placer des symboles (une loupe pour une id©e   creuser, un sablier pour indiquer que cette action prend du temps...). C'est la m©thode Mindmapping et c'est plutät ing©nieux.

ConceptDraw MINDMAP int¨gre de bonnes id©es comme, par exemple, disposer de plusieurs feuilles (comme dans Excel) pour hi©rarchiser un projet complexe. Il dispose aussi de fonctions puissantes et tr¨s utiles comme la cr©ation automatique de pages HTML ou de fichiers PDF.

Review by Charles Cave

I particularly like the brainstorming feature which is invoked by clicking on the lighting bold icon. This feature manages a text based outline with clear icons for adding and rearranging branches. The stopwatch feature allows you to set a time limit for the idea generation process -- a good way to stretch your thinking by making you work for a certain time.

The program offers features for drawing lines (Line, Sector, Arc and Spline), intelligent connectors and the means to group objects into more complex ones.

Vous avez peur d'être mal compris? Essayez d'exprimer le message que vous voulez dans ce logiciel qui se chargera de trouver la meilleure présentation.

Installation was simple and clearly explained. The required memory and hard drive space are reasonable.

Technical support was not needed to install and run the program.

This kind of program is wonderful for those of us who have to present information using PowerPoint, because the graphics are so unusual and effective. Imagination is stimulated by the interesting visuals that can be created fairly easily with this program.

Mientras, las funciones de exportaciãn a HTML, PowerPoint o PDF son ciertamente interesantes, asi como la posibilidad de agregar notas para incluir informaciãn adicional sobre cualquiera de los objetos presentes o las herramientas de dibujo vectorial.

La gestiãn de las citadas ramas, de las p¡ginas presentes en el documento (es factible realizar documentos enlazados como p¡ginas Web) o de los objetos utilizados es muy simple gracias a la ayuda de asistentes especializados que tratan cada una de estas caracter­sticas de forma independiente.

ConceptDraw MINDMAP Pro submitted by Chuck Frey

To meet the diverse needs of business users and individuals with a range of comfort levels with mindmapping, CS Odessa has thoughtfully integrated several helpful "assistants" into ConceptDraw MINDMAP Professional 2.0.

ConceptDraw MINDMAP offers another unique feature: The ability to store and utilize multiple pages of mindmaps within a single file. Finally, you can export a list of tasks from Microsoft Outlook, import them into ConceptDraw MINDMAP Professional 2.0, and create a mindmap from them.

ConceptDraw Product Line examined by Benjamin Rondeau.

La firme CS Odessa occupe sans conteste une place à part dans le monde de l'édition logicielle. Comme son nom l'indique, cette compagnie vient en effet d'un pays qui n'est pas particulièrement connu pour la richesse de son industrie informatique : l'Ukraine.

Sur le concept, on ne peut qu'être séduit par un logiciel qui se propose de nous aider à organiser nos réflexions. C'est assez rare sur Mac pour être salué, d'autant que ConceptDraw MINDMAP existe aussi en version Windows, assurant la compatibilité entre les deux plates-formes.

"Guess what the most comprehensive diagramming and presentation suite for Mac is? Sure, ConceptDraw. Where do you think they make it? You won't believe it. In Odessa - on the Black Sea. You will ask if there are possibly any Mac developers there? I would say that even more than just developers. CS Odessa are Mac fans, Mac enthusiasts and Mac pros, loyal to Macintosh platform throughout their history. Now guess why ConceptDraw Line is getting more and more popular?"

"The First Guess: What is ConceptDraw Product Family? The Second Guess: What's unique about ConceptDraw Product Family? The Third Guess: CS Odessa, Conference and Odessa."

I use ConceptDraw MINDMAP for my Sunday School class and Bible Studies. I appreciate the combination of mindmap- program and drawing functions!!! I want to thank you for a very good program which make many tasks easier.
God bless you.

I have used and will use ConceptDraw MINDMAP Pro to help me plan the concept of books and events related to movie critics. I like the program and I also think to use it to organize other aspects of work and of my everyday life.

I understand mindmaping is not an organizer but I am having fun using it very much in that way and it is great. I will look forward to the future releases and again I really like what you are doing with the product.

Bravo!   (Immediately after ConceptDraw MINDMAP 1.1 release.)

I evaluated MindManager 2002 and your product. From my point of view, ConceptDraw MINDMAP is much easier to use and provides more design alternatives. Great product for V 1! I'm looking forward to ConceptDraw Presenter.
