ConceptDraw DIAGRAM vs. ConceptDraw MINDMAP

Likelihood to recommend? Overall, absolutely. I'm very satisfied with ConceptDraw and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. I found it very easy to get up and running producing flow chart diagrams. I find it intuitive, flexible and it does what it says. Moreover it's very much an "alive" product with regular updates

MINDMAP is very focused on brainstorming and branching hierarchies of ideas and planning. Outside of those uses a more general diagramming software package like ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is a better option.

• The software has an intuitive arrangement of commands, which reduces the learning curve suffering.

• For an idea, put whatever comes to your mind and organize with ConceptDraw MINDMAP.

• Easily export the work to PDF, PowerPoint and any image format for quick share.
• Best note taking application which we can connect to our existing work.

• Keyboard shortcuts are non-intuitive
• Re-scaling can be tricky if you don't set the page up correctly at the beginning of your project

It needs a bunch of work. For the price it could be better. And even though I am using it still I find it very difficult to use but I make it work

The sales team is great and quickly responds to any concerns regarding the software and licensing. However, the user base for ConceptDraw products is still relatively small making it difficult to find more than basic assistance for technical questions online

The sales team is very responsive and willing to help out with questions, however the community of users is not as large as some other products so it can be difficult to find answers to more complex problems

Cheaper, lower learning curve. Looked for something that would meet our needs and allow us to quickly diagram a database and process maps. I have been using this in place of Visio and the one-time purchase is much better than a Microsoft sub. Looking forward to using this software in the future and hoping to get a copy for college classes as well in Database Design.

As we were already using PROJECT, it became obvious that ConceptDraw MINDMAP was the product to use. The integration between those two products is very convenient and useful. The fact that ConceptDraw MINDMAP solutions was usable on Mac OS was also a pre requisite for us. We did not use any other Mind Map software.
