Wondershare EdrawMind Reviews & Product Details

I switched from years of using MindManager because it had gotten too expensive and was a yearly subscription. My motivation was simply to save money. But what I got was much more. EdrawMind is easier to use, much easier to insert images, and I love that you can buy a lifetime subscription. I use mindmaps for everything: weekly and monthly planning, outlining my mystery novels, planning events--everything! It's my go-to tool for staying organized. I love it.

I don't know of any downsides. The only thing I miss from MindManager is the ability to click, create a linked map. But that's not a big deal for me. I have devised workarounds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have tried several mindmap tools and found most of them lacking in one feature or another. However, with EdrawMind, I was blown away by the ease of use and I took the lifetime subscription shortly. I often share these with my clients and they are impressed as well.

1. It has the best-looking mindmaps, the colors, and the layouts look amazing.

2. It sends regular updates with new features, like Kanban cards etc. in the recent times.

3. The number of options in the application is quite good - Fish bone, circular mindmaps.

4. The autoarrange feature of the tool is very good. Every node shows up cleanly and clearly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would love to see the following features in the tool:

1. Whiteboard-kind of a tool, where I write or draw something and convert the information into a mind map.

2. Freeform note of information. Sometimes, I just want to make boxes of text on my own and connect them with arrows the way I think makes sense.

3. The cloud storage available with the tool can have more options to organize the files better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the Gantt chart functionality; I use it to lay out the tasks I have on my plate and then organize them into actionable steps with timeline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The exporting and importing could use some work. It is minimally functional, and I would like to be able to do more with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's easy to use. it's simple to understand and it's easy to manipulate the options. when you want to put something on paper and you want to see your idea into a mind map, this program does it exactly the way you want it. I tried many other free things, and it didn't really work that well. Now that I found this one, I don't have to look for another one Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the price is a little steep for what the program is and what it does, because there are other options which are very close to what they do here. But still, if you want something which has a very good return on investment, I think this one is one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Why choose this app over any other? The maps are always available. The service has its own storage, so third-party storage is not necessary.

It is very convenient to just generate a link and share a map with colleagues, or have the option to collaborate, making it quite easy to implement use in a group.

At the start of a project, it is easy to begin creating a mind map among several people and clarify ideas without having to write much. It is an excellent alternative for daily use and to have a big-picture view of everything that needs to be considered when starting a project.

The support, when needed, responds quite quickly. But I have only used it once.

My experience with the integration is neutral; I have generally used it to create stand-alone maps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The customizations that can be made in the Windows application do not display correctly on the Web, and after modifying them on the Web, they are lost in the Windows app.

For example, in the Windows app, you can modify the font of the elements, on the Web you can do it, but with specific fonts, and the elements may display incorrectly.

The lack of features and accessibility in the mobile app makes it used less frequently. Or it is preferred to be used in browser versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Versatility in Use – I use it extensively for brainstorming, course outlines, client workflows, and lesson timelines.

Feature-Rich Desktop Version – Favorites include adding notes, hyperlinks, attachments, layout and theme options, and intuitive branching.

Ease of Use – The interface is smooth and makes amending and moving branches effortless.

Kanban Style View – A great new addition that enhances project organization.

AI Integrations – Just starting to explore, but excited about the potential!

Consistent Product Development – I appreciate how well the tool has been supported over the years, with frequent updates and valuable new features since I purchased my lifetime license. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm very excited about the Kanban board, and I would like to see some additional features. I know it's a 'recent' addition, so I'm excited to see how it evolves. It would be great to see more expanded input options for the cards. Right now, cards are limited to a Title and Bullet Points, but it would be great to have a dedicated Description field. And, it would be great to be able to see an expanded output that shows things like notes, and hyperlinks, and attachment references, without having to click icons to see what's there - kinda like a report page for a Cart, which would be very cool.

I like that you can change the mind map's structure as you need to. I could convert it from a one-sided map to a fishbone diagram or two-sided map. Additionally, it is simple to copy and paste text or images from online resources without having to download them and upload them.

I also adore the cloud version, which allows me to effortlessly access my account from any location and continue making changes or adding new content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- I am not sure why, but when I use the hand tool to move up and down, EdrawMind is a little sluggish on my 2K monitor.

- I do not think the mobile app (iOS) can be used for editing or anything else; it is only suitable for viewing.

- The software (Windows) requires me to log in if I don't use it for a while. (I personally think it is annoying)

- I have to type Vietnamese on my Note Apps and then copy/paste it to the EdrawMind instead of typing it straight into the blocks. (weird) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate the latest AI-powered feature that effortlessly generates a new mind map in an instant. It allows users to quickly create, edit and customize their maps with ease. It provides a wide range of color schemes and multiple file format options which are truly impressive. As a corporate trainer, I frequently rely on this tool and find it highly valuable.

I often struggle with deciding whether to store files locally or in the cloud. Additionally, having many files saved as "Untitled" makes searching difficult. It would be helpful if the system could automatically name files based on the core theme of the mind map. I also feel of the cloud stored files have the same features like the desktop generated on. Please clarify this doubt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The desktop and online versions work seamlessly with each other and the keyboard shortcuts are intuitive and make creating full mindmaps from the keyboard easy. This make it ideal for note taking when learning and doing meetings. I use it almost every day for notes on everything and for putting together skeletons when architecting new technical solutions or writing technical scope documents. I always found with Mindjet software and Mind42 that it was good but not great. The AI I use a bit but probably not as much as some people would just due to the nature of my profession but when I have used it for business plans etc its been incredible how good it is to have this type of capability built into mind mapping software. I used it recently to help put a skeleton marketing plan together for a new business park. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its not a big thing but I didnt like the default styling but I changed it in a matter of an hour or so and now the mind maps are styled how I like by default. There are loads of templates as well that you can choose from or create your own - it probably more me because I like a very clean and basic look. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is extremly useful. Studying and memorizing information can be hard; EdrawMind makes it easy and sexy. It is good not only for creating mindmaps, but also to visualize them in different ways (as a pdf file, with bullet points, etc) and from different platforms (table, desktop, mobile, etc). It is a good way to organize knowledge so that it becomes easy to go back again and again so that it sticks in long term memory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the most that even when there are constant updates, the AI is still not working perfectly. I would like also it if could have flashcards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
