IGAUCHO  Either MindJet dropped the price on this by about $100 recently, or MacUpdate is way off! According to MindJet's page the price should be $129.

With all the MU Promo people raving about XMind, I've decided to try both out. Currently I think I am leaning towards MindManager since it was written from the ground up for the Mac (by a Windows developer no less!) and it's not Java based. I'd rather support a developer who takes the time to make a true Mac application instead of just tweaking it to run on another platform. Just idling XMind was taking up 1.3 gb of virtual memory!

KEITHT  I tried MindManager for Mac as a Demo in Version 6. At that time I fell in love with the app but did not buy it. I used the downloaded demo to carry out a few brainstorming sessions with a new clients. It worked great. By my requirements for the product at that time just was not there.

When Version 7 came out, my business is now much busier and I had a greater need for this type of product. I downloaded the demo once more and gave it a workout... I had to have it. So I bought it.

I could not see myself springing over $349 for MindManager7 Pro (Windows). I run Parallels too and could have gone that route, but I am watching the dollars, so I am happy to live with the features that the Mac version provides. Hopefully in the near future, the limitations will be overcome and I can upgrade at a reasonable rate, thus breaking up the financial hit.

My only negative about the product is the non-integration with Microsoft Office (for Mac) and the non-integration with Pages or FrontPage (iWorks). From the Mac perspective at least, I would have thought that Mindjet would have been able to intgrate with iWorks as a apart of the Vs 7 deliverable.

Looking ahead... I look forward to the maturing of this product within the Mac Realm!

TIAGO  Although I agree with the previous comment (on the unrealistic pricing), I have to say this is by far the best mind mapping software I've ever tried... NoteMind is not ready for primetime yet, and NovaMind—my favorite for a long time—simply does not feel like a real Mac application... Other apps are even worse...

MindManager has the look and feel I was looking for... If only the price was not sooo high...
