![]() ![]() On the other hand, XMind allows you to encrypt your local diagrams with a password from the Desktop app. This real-time collaboration works between users only when they have an internet connection and if the diagram is synced with the cloud. The Mindomo Desktop app comes with great benefits that XMind hasn’t: you can collaborate in real-time with other Mindomo users that are connected from their Desktop app or from the online version. The two Desktop apps have advantages and disadvantages when it comes to collaboration. In other words, you are not able to customize it as you want. Moreover, the Pitch mode allows you only to create an automated presentation. But there are no special templates designed by the XMind team on use cases categories, as Mindomo has. XMind users have access to the public library of diagrams, and they can copy and edit another user’s diagrams. The lack of mind map templates is also a huge drawback. Unfortunately, there’s no cloud to sync, which makes it hard to copy your diagrams on other devices. The biggest disadvantage of Xmind is that it doesn’t support synchronization. ![]() However, Mindomo has more advantages over XMind: online-offline synchronization with only one click, templates, a customizable presenter mode, Gantt chart view, full history of changes, more filtering options, and an Auto Night mode (it changes depending on the theme color you’re using on a diagram). XMind has some advantages over Mindomo: it has more printing formats and more visualization options. Taking a look at the above table helps you choose what is more important for you when you customize your diagrams.Ĭomparing the Desktop apps features of XMind and Mindomo we see noticeable differences. Mindomo has a bigger variety of map styling options overall. Mindomo has more options for line formats, topic styles, it has anchor point options, customizable weight, and freely resize topics’ width and height by dragging and dropping them, while XMind has customizable text on boundaries, etc. It’s 3 in 1, and you can have the same effect with only one click. Mindomo has the “Auto balance map option” that contains all modifications of these 3 features in only one option. For instance, the “Auto balance map”, “Compact map” or “Branch free-position” are 3 different options at XMind. It gives the impression that it has extra features. XMind has some features that Mindomo also has, divided into more different ones. Both tools offer a big variety of customization options, it depends on what is more important for you.įor example, XMind has customizable text on boundaries, and Mindomo doesn’t have it. Mindomo has some map styling options that XMind doesn’t have and vice versa. However, at XMind, there are some features that are available only on the Desktop app, such as topic padding, more fonts on the app, Theme Editor. I can't even imagine how people who actually paid $300 -if there are any- feel about these changes.There are no differences between the Desktop app and the online version of Mindomo when it comes to map styling features. Eventually I may go with MindJet MindManager, although the development of their Mac version always seems to lag behind the Windows version.įor people getting this for free, it's certainly a great value. For now I'll use XMIND 2.3.0 and 3.0, as well as my old copy of NovaMind. Mindjet also has an online feature that users can buy, but this is in addition to the actual software. MindMeister recently had an attractive offer at MacZot, by the way. Their focus seems similar to MindMeister but I have no need for online mind mapping. I would probably rate it with 4 stars.īut as someone who paid for the Pro version I'm not happy with the direction the company is taking. I used to recommend XMIND, and for people who have no similar software this free version is pretty good. I don't know whether this is a reflection of more efficient coding or just loss of features. This is not present under 3.0.1 The same applies to Task Info. Under the View Menu, 3.0 had a Gantt Chart option. I did not see these options anymore under 3.0.1's Export menu, although it now has the option to export as an XMIND 2008 Workbook. XMIND 3.0 had the options to export as MindJet MindManager Map, PDF Document, and RTF File (Word Compatible). I've been unable to export them and import them to XMIND 3. With version 2.3.0 I imported many custom markers. However, with each release the program seems to be losing some functionality and since I did purchase the Pro version of XMIND 2008 (2.3.0), these latest releases have been a disappointment. ![]()
