MindGenius Reviews

MindGenius has been demonstrated profitable for a ton of undertakings to do and frequently used to end up putting post-it notes all over yet since moving to this piece of programming the venture the executive’s highlights take into consideration me to sit and concoct a conclusive arrangement which I would then be able to impart to others on when various errands should be finished. Particularly when in the approach GSCE's the point at which each second of time should be used well. Likewise, being a Mac client the capacity to get to the product through an internet browser implies I can work whenever without requiring my organizer and so forth to complete stuff.

The past rendition of MindGenius stage was not as undertaking detailing amicable as current variants and it took a touch of experimentation to get the correct configurations for announcing especially on financials. While assets and time distributions are basic, we actually need to send out the activities to all the more costing driven programming items to get exact costings and following on costings for projects. No big deal as the similarity is acceptable.

At first, we utilized MindGenius to catch and make organized web arrangements from gatherings. We utilized the note-taking, dismantling of contemplations, and re-development of brain guides to in a real sense make outlines and wireframes not long after gathering ends. At that point utilizing the guides to move straightforwardly to costing and undertaking plans was unfathomable.

Due to my work I have a lot of tasks to do and often used to find myself putting post-it notes everywhere but since moving to this bit of software the project management features allow for me to sit and come up with a decisive plan which I can then share with others on when different tasks need to be done. Especially when in the run up to GSCE's when every second of time needs to be utilised well. Also being a Mac user the ability to access the software through a web-browser means I can work anytime without needing my planner etc to get stuff done

It did take me a while to get used to the format and controls of the program but using the help section and a little googling all the issues I was facing got easily solved.

having tried other products which I have also written reviews for I am always looking for better more practical ways to reduce the work load and also the impact we have on the planet with paper being wasted etc. This program gives me all of the features I needed to do this under one simple easy to use package. I am a huge fan of producing mind maps to see my ideas and innovations and the ability to add web links, images and text, then to colour code based which tasks I am completing makes tasks that could take hours take minutes. I would highly recommend this software.

I found when I was trying to co-ordinate my team and keep on top of the tasks I needed to do I was making lots of note and scribbling in a diary and then loosing pages of crossing things out repeatedly, by removing the paper aspect of my work I have also reduced the large amount of emails going back and forth as the work is easily found and with others being able to update it as they complete tasks, there is a easy obvious way to see the progress of the work being done.

MindGenius 2018 is definitely improved to a high level of user friendlyness, making also easy to export content to software such as the Microsoft Office suite ones, and last but not least having easy to use analytical capabilities and reporting functions.

As it is really easy tu use, it also enables quickly collaboration between cross-functional teams or between remote locations.

I have been using the 3 latest versions of MindGenius and now I have very little if no issues using this product.

Use the trial version of MindGenius : you will soon adopt it !

I use primarily MindGenius 2018 to manage my ideas and structure brainstorming activities, either in small groups or in larger teams. It appears that the product saves time and thus money in a lot of collaborative sessions. By setting standard ways to work and standard ways to represent the results, it enables also work between cross-cultural teams. In large teams (> 10 people), it reduces to 1-2 hours the lead time to being operational in large work sessions or dedicated workshops.

Mind Genius is easy to use, easy to change and easy to export to a range of other software such as PowerPoint, Word, pdf etc I have used it for many years and rolled it out to colleagues and even to consultants working for me. It has amazing flexibility from the suite of templates or from using it free-hand, which is what I normally do. it saves time & money but above all it delivers solutions which may not have been apparent at the beginning of a project

As Mind Genius has developed over the years, the "dislikes" have disappeared and Mind genius 2018 is a now a well developed tool for any business

Use the trial from Mind Genius, you won't regret it.

I've used this primarily in approaching business efficiency exercises but also when dealing with expansive operations projects as the software captures the issues and they can be easily linked to better understand the "big picture"

Our office consists of departments with very different needs from MindGenius, from Project Management, and mind maps to tracking tasks and we need a versatile piece of software to do it. I liked the fact that MindGenius despite all the things it can do is still straight forward and easy to use.

The one thing I have so far come across is moving a Mind Genius account to another work station. I fully understand that the software copy protection needs to identify where it is to stop multiple copies being made, but the process of sorting this out is rather long.

As I work in Marketing but also have projects to oversee, the ability to clearly see the different tasks I have and their current state makes my ability to prioritise much easier.

I like the ability to capture ideas, some of which I don’t have at the start of any specific session with MindGenius, and I like the product’s ability to help me summarise non-fiction books and to do so such that I can:

• Clearly identify and remember their core messages and

• Re-read them at any later time in just a few minutes.

I also like the fact that the software allows me and others to work together to create a “group-intelligence” understanding of issues and produce better questions and better answers than any one of us could do…..and especially I like its ability to capture the ideas and energy when we talk and brainstorm together rather than allowing those ideas to escape into the ether and be lost.

Not a lot. But I prefer version 5 to version 6 and hope that subsequent versions restore some of the instinctive use-ability factors of the earlier version.

If you really give this product a useful workout on your work, your meetings, your projects and your archive – then there is a danger that, like me, you will do very little without it. Because the effort required to all that is not huge and certainly not huge given the rewards that flow its use, which include improvements in:

• Recall

• Control

• Commitments kept

• Projects delivered fully, on time and to budget

• Arguments won

• Customers and colleagues pleased and

• Successful collaborations

At the moment, I am writing a book about the toxins and deficiencies that can occur in workplaces and MindGenius has, over recent years, allowed me to produce succinct mapped summaries of a great many relevant books.

Now having loaded these maps into the cloud-version of MindGenius, Barvas, I can do a global search for key words, such as “Greed”, “Animosity”, and have Barvas point me to the text that uses those words and could be relevant.

This speeds up my writing process and overcomes my poor memory and the brutal fact that it is hard to hold the essence of even one book in my skull.

So, the benefits include:

• Speed

• An end to forgetfulness

• Completeness – as it accesses passages of books that didn’t register first time round

• Helping me to appear to be cleverer and better informed than I actually am and

• Help me to avoid misquoting other people

What I like is that we can take clients from initial meeting - to project brief - to costing and project planning - to simulations - to sign off - and production.

And then we can report - manage the project - handle exceptions - stay on track - modify - keep everyone up to date .

And frankly - MindGenius gives us a creative to practical edge with all "Thoughts Becoming Things" projects with excellent integration and collaboration at all times.

Earlier versions were not as project reporting friendly as current versions and it took a bit of trial and error to get the right formats for reporting particularly on financials. Whilst resources and time allocations are simple , we still have to export the projects to more costing centric software products to get accurate costings and tracking on costings for projects. No biggie as compatibility is good.

Try it. I played with it and was up and running within hours. I know there is still more I can do with the product and with each version more becomes available. I first started using MIndGenius back in 2000. This has become a standard in every business I have worked for, or consulted to, ever since 2001.

Initially we used MindGenius to capture and create structured web solutions from meetings. We used the note taking, disassembly of thoughts and re construction of mind maps to literally create blue prints and wire frames within hours of meeting conclusions. Then using the maps to move directly to costing and project plans was unbelievable. Literally saving us tens of thousand of dollars in man hours and more importantly helping us create products faster and better than we could have imagined.

MindGenius has a lot of mind mapping capabilities that are applicable to project management. The team has also implemented several smart features that improve overall usability including the Map Explorer and the ability to create a new node just by typing.

The tool is very helpful in brainstorming project scope and organizing project teams. The tool can be used to develop project scope statement, organization charts, project charter outline as well as represent project status in a mind map view.

As the mind map grows, the Map Explorer can be used to easily traverse the map.

I also had a chance to review the software at https://www.tacticalprojectmanagement.com/mindgenius-2018-mind-mapping-software/

When editing a schedule in the Gantt Chart view, I have to double click on a cell to enter the value. It's not a show stopper but just a small usability nuance.

Pick a team to implement the mind mapping solution and learn from the team before cascading across the organization. Non-Mind Mapping teams will need a PDF or PowerPoint version of the map unless they have MindGenius installed

1. Improved scope definition

2. Better brainstorming sessions

3. Communicate high level timing

4. Leveraging one mind mapping format and then exporting to different Office formats

The software is very easy to use, very intuitive. I don't use it for Mind Mapping in the classical sense of memorisation but use it to clarify my ideas, write reports, prepare presentations and manage projects. It also loans itself to teamwork to analyse and resolve problems. It requires minimal training to be able to create results.

Very little. I would like some other facilities in project management such as being able to add lead and lag times to links but this is fairly easy to overcome. There is a automatic project report which would be more useful with a little extra effort.

Give it a try - it is easy to implement and simple to use.

MindGenius is providing us with an easy to use, full featured, project management tool which is easy to train. Notes taking in meetings can be used to generate action plans (and even sent out as tasks within Outlook).

I have been a long time user and advocate of MindGenius since first discovering mind mapping in the early 90's. I have used MindGenius extensively in the higher education sector with a range of student cohorts, undergraduate and postgraduate. I have found it can really transform a students ability to synthesise and structure their understanding of a range of topics and it works particularly well with students struggling to get started with their assignments.

Nothing really - this is a well tested and robust product.

This is a very well developed and mature product that was one of the first mind mapping pieces of software available and is probably the best on the market whether that is for large enterprises, SME's or individuals. The company support is excellent and they have been around for a long time. The application is stable and robust and there have never been any issues with roll out or ongoing support and development. Highly recommend it!

I have used MindGenius to structure and resource new projects and plan new educational programmes I have also used it to solve messy problems - it is particularly useful for group brainstorming as ideas and solutions can be put on the screen as the brainstorming takes place, then re-arranged, prioritised, people allocated to tasks and then the complete map can be exported to a document, presentation, project software etc.
