PROS: It has helped me encourage my students to create mind maps. Before we use this tool, they often get frustrated and don’t really like creating mind maps because they find it hard to structure the maps. Thanks to MindMup, they started to like this activity. And I love that they already want to do it because creating mind maps is actually good for improving their cognitive ability. Now, this tool is already embedded into our Google classroom.
CONS: We are just using the free version so there are amazing features we cannot access. It would be a great help if they would make a way to make those functionalities available for free version users.
I am constantly encouraging my students to make mind maps as it is imperative for cognitive ability. However, a lot of them have gotten frustrated at times on how to structure the maps but MINDMUP solves this issue and I can embed it into our GOOGLE Classroom.
There are some additionally features that are best used when you have the subscriptions and I would love if it were free so that I could encourage my students to continue to use it after they leave the district.
Make sure that you watch tutorials and ask for help so you can figure out to best make use of the product! It will only be as effective as you allow it to be.
It definitely saves the district having to buy an extensive amount of paper as students can not access this from a laptop or even their phones.
The best part of it is the easy expansion and navigation through the main network.
The thing I dislike is only the preparation time that you spend for the map creation.
I prepared blue print ideas for the customer presentations. I used the app and it helped alot.
It has the best tools which help draw unique flows and strategic planning hierarchy. The flows we create using MindMup define a clear picture of the project plan and guide us to deliver the project efficiently.
There is everything you need to create a Mindmap to make focused efforts—nothing to dislike in MindMup.
With MindMup, strategic planning and workflows can be design as a clear picture and use to present or execute the same.
It has a strategical view of diagrams which is fantastic. The themes are also adorable, with different types of readily available styles. The look and feel of the hierarchy make it easy to understand and can be utilized for presentations efficiently.
I don't have any issues using the MindMup platform.
Creating easy flows and hierarchy tables with MindMup
It was easy to get going since I already have Google Drive. I was able to choose using it Individually without enabling it for an entire Google Apps domain. It has an undo already mapped to Ctrl-Z. Dragging nodes around and onto each other intuitively attaches them.
The "recommended" get started button attempted to install MindMup for our entire G Suite domain. End users may not have this issue, but G Suite admins should be aware of the security implications and vet the product appropriately. The process to add it as an Individual as a Google App is less intuitive but was not difficult. The app starts you out with no tutorial, quick start, introduction, just a blank new project as if you were an expert user. I could find no samples to open to play with in order to help learn the controls and GUI. The help and tutorials that are there, buried in the Help menu, "Tips and Tricks", are sparse and static. Clicking the link to see how to "Manage projects and tasks using the Progress sidebar", takes you to a long html page with a few pictures. You can figure it out, but there is no guided illustrated walk through, no step by step video, just a long documentation page reminiscent of linux man pages.

We can use this product to create charts in node/child-node format, such as for projects, progress, organizational, etc. It is easy to implement without Windows installers and permissions. It integrates with Google Drive and supports single or multi-user collaboration. It can be used free or paid. The organizational price of $100/year all users included seems very reasonable and even cheap for large organizations.
Templates can be created to use when doing client fact finds. Client fact finds can be saved online for later, and it's easy to pick up where I left off by opening an already started fact find back up at the next meeting.
Shortcut keys aren't very intuitive; default color schemes could use a 20th century revision. More font choices would be nice. Also, more output customization, including branding, would be nice.
Don't hesitate to give it a shot - there's a free trial. After that, it's $2.99 per month - some of the cheapest software you can get for your business!
As a financial advisor, getting to know my clients is pretty important. The best way to get to know them is by being very attentive throughout our conversations. For this reason, pen and paper note taking just doesn't cut it. I need something that will allow me to makes note from our conversation, no matter where it goes, and no matter what order in which it goes there. Mindmup allows me to do this. Using a pre-created template for developing a client profile, we're able to keep notes in an organized fashion, while listening actively. We're also able to have our clients follow along by sharing our screens with the conference room television, so they can see that we are hearing them.

It's slow if you have a loooot of content. But it's still valid.
