October 18, 2005 Larkware ConceptDraw MINDMAP Pro review
www.larkware.com/
Reviewed by Mike Gunderloy

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.

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.

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...

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.

If you're seeking a powerful yet easy-to-use mind mapping program that also offers some valuable drawing tools, then you ought to take a serious look at ConceptDraw MINDMAP Pro 3. The latest version of this polished mind mapping software introduces an improved outline view, support for multi-page maps and numerous small improvements that make it a pleasure to use.
Summary: ConceptDraw MINDMAP Pro 3 is a great value for the money. This is a well-designed, easy-to-use mind mapping program - one of the best I've seen!

June, 2003 c't ConceptDraw MINDMAP Pro review
http://www.heise.de/ct/
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.

June, 2003 MACup ConceptDraw MINDMAP Pro review
http://www.macup.com/
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.

Mai, 2003 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 !

May, 2003 Macworld ConceptDraw MINDMAP Pro review
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.

April, 2003 Creativity Web ConceptDraw MINDMAP review
http://members.ozemail.com.au/~caveman/Creative/
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.

March, 2003 Progiciel Expert ConceptDraw MINDMAP review
http://www.progicielexpert.com/
Review by Gilles Rocard
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.
Pour une première approche (pour qui ne
sait pas comment commencer), ConceptDraw MINDMAP met à la
disposition de l'utilisateur un assistant de création qui
lui évitera d'avoir à fouiller les différentes
bibliothèques d'objets et lui présentera directement
les modèles de présentation disponibles...

March, 2003 Education World ConceptDraw MINDMAP review
http://www.educationworld.com/
Article by Linda Starr
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.

February, 2003 PC Actual ConceptDraw MINDMAP review
http://www.vnunet.es/pcactual/
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 MINDMAP Pro examined by Thomas Raukamp.
Das Programm hilft also Schritt fìr Schritt bei der Konstruktion einer
MindMap. Dem zentralen Thema und den Unterpunkten werden dann Grafiken
zugewiesen, die die Auswahl und die Relevanz unterstreichen sollen.
ConceptDraw MINDMAP ist ein Programm, das einfach SpaŸ macht.

http://www.infoweek.ch
ConceptDraw MINDMAP Pro reviewed by Marc von Ah.
Eine der grossen St¤rken von ConceptDraw MINDMAP ist der flexible
Umgamg mit „sten und Zweigen. Diese konnen wesentlich flexibler und
kreativer angeordnet werden als in den Konkurrenzprodukten.
Wem die mitgelieferten 1340 Cliparts in 40 Bibliotheken nicht genugen,
kann damit problemlos eigene Illustrationen erstellen oder die
vorhandenen ver¤ndern.

January, 2003 France MacGeneration ConceptDraw MINDMAP Pro review
http://www.macgeneration.com/
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.

http://www.macdirectory.com/
ConceptDraw Product Line examined by MacDirectory staff.
"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."

ConceptDraw MINDMAP Pro reviewed by Ian Hedley, who teaches at Carter
Community School in Dorset, England and uses ConceptDraw in his work.
"I used MindManager to develop most of this site but if I'd had
ConceptDraw at the time I would probably have used that instead."
"I use ConceptDraw for presenting information (on paper or
electronically). I also use it for learning and remembering."

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. |

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. |
