Why have we provided this information about Mind Mapping software?
As the world's leading provider of Mind Mapping training for business, we are often asked which Mind Map (MindMap) software we recommend. We have made a detailed study of the various products on the market and have come to the view that the Mind Map/Visual Mapping software market has developed so rapidly in the last few years, that a site containing details of all of the major software packages, including; Mindjet MindManager, MindGenius, iMindMap (the offering from Tony Buzan himself), NovaMind... and many others - would be of real benefit. We believe that this site is the most comprehensive and independent Mind Mapping software source on the Web.
Each of these visual mapping or Mind Mapping packages have different features, although the major ones have many similarities. They can be an exceptionally useful way of capturing, organising and communicating information and ideas, and also a great technique for brainstorming.
Some providers have different versions, with differing functionality, for different user groups - individuals, business and education being the main groupings. Others use different pricing regimes to differentiate their offerings.
