I really like how Xmind makes the creation of maps very smart and smooth. As a civil engineer, tools like the AI-powered mapping and Gantt charts really help me in organizing and managing my work easily. The setup was very smooth for me, and overall, these features make engineering tasks considerably easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't think so far I have experienced any major issues. I would like Xmind to maybe improve the AI knowledge, increase its training, and update it with the latest algorithms for river network creation and catchment. They should improve the algorithm of creation and provide a feature for watershed delineation and other hydrological activities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using Xmind for 4 years to create maps while preparing for exams and it is very intuitive. I like being able to customize the maps and adapt them to my thought pattern, which allows me to connect topics and create a cascade of events as I wish to memorize them. The initial installation was very easy, without any problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have sometimes encountered problems with saving maps, but in most cases, I have recovered them from the cache; in other cases, I had to write them from scratch. I would perhaps add the possibility of creating two maps in the same file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The new AI options help me get my work done faster. I like that I can use it for free, even though there are some limitations. I can copy and paste content from Word or another app and then use Xmind to improve my work. The interface is clear, and all the options are easy to use. The app also runs fast on my old MacBook. One time i had a problem but i contact the staff by email and i get help, i try to use gemini and chat gpt integrations but i can't do it, so i just can export some files.

I want more free options, more students offers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that you can easily create, work on, and share Mind Maps collaboratively across teams. It has been very helpful for us to share them among teams in different locations, where everyone can input and contribute. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are noticeable differences between the browser app, which is less powerful, and the desktop version. At times we can’t work on the desktop version, and that limits our ability to work on maps when we’re using our phones or iPads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It offers a variety of templates and customization options. The AI create feature is available and produces high-quality results. My experience as a user is good and tools is easy to navigate. It has good performance with integration of calendar and many shortcuts. Honestly I didn't try the paid subscription and support but I think It is great as well.

I want them to offer Educational subscription for students like me Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the flexibility of Xmind in creating a variety of diagrams for business and personal purposes. In my business role, I use the Xmind templates to create organization charts, role and responsibility summaries, project lifecycle overviews, issue root cause analysis summaries, goal summaries, and strategic mind maps. In my personal life, I use Xmind to create life plans, goal summaries, and vision maps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are times when I wish I had more control over the Xmind diagrams. For example, adjusting the spacing and structure of the diagram/map to customize my format. I also wish I could change the percentage zoom of the map to a custom number versus the fixed percentages offered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Xmind primarily for research planning and project organization. As a Data Science master's student, I use it to structure literature reviews, map research ideas, organize machine learning workflows, and break complex computer vision projects into manageable tasks. It helps me visualize the entire process, making it easier to stay organized and focused. Xmind helps me solve the problem of organizing complex information by creating a clear visual structure, connecting ideas, and tracking progress. I like Xmind's clean interface and visual mind mapping features because they help me quickly organize ideas, create structured project plans, and see relationships between different concepts. The interface allows me to focus on my ideas, and the visual mind mapping feature lets me see how literature reviews, datasets, experiments, and model deployment components relate to each other. The initial setup was easy, and I started creating Xmind maps the same day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Xmind meets most of my needs but I would like to see stronger collaboration features and deeper integration with other productivity tools. I'd suggest also an AI-powered organization feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that the free plan of Xmind is quite useful, especially in the function of working with the outline, which allows me to focus on the hierarchy rather than the visual part at the beginning. This saves me a lot of time, as I usually worry a lot about the visual outcome when building a map. Additionally, I consider that this function makes the subsequent visual hierarchy automatic, which is very beneficial because it allows me to focus more on the ideas and not so much on the visual aspect. I also love that the installation of Xmind on my computer and iPad was very simple and quick, with the default configuration being quite intuitive and the synchronization very easy and light.

One of the disadvantages is the limit on the free plan and that the visual organization is sometimes not so intuitive, as the text can appear more loaded on one side than the other. When you handle a lot of text, it is not always intuitive to arrange the final result and it can be difficult to move elements within the layout. It also requires quite a bit of editing of the text bubble to align it in a certain way. The default colors in the free plan are not always harmonious and the free plan has certain limitations, giving only a small taste of the Pro plan. I wish there were a plan for students or a more attractive trial period. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the accessibility in terms of visuals, it is a very easy tool to use and it doesn't freeze. For me, being able to switch from a mind map to a logical map is extremely efficient. Xmind also offers smooth navigation without freezing, which is very helpful, especially for me, as I create extremely large and heavy maps. I also appreciate how it helps to take a project that might be complex and abstract and break it down into increasingly smaller pillars until reaching tasks that we can work on daily.

I honestly don't like the system of paid services, how subscriptions are modeled, I believe that the price is much above the market, especially considering alternatives like Obsidian, which is what I use nowadays. And it bothers me that we only have the option of subscriptions instead of a one-time payment that gives me access to the tool. Considering that I don't care about tools, in my mental map I just want to be able to have unlimited mind maps and save them. If the user needs more maps that exceed the daily limit, I think the subscription is very bad. The price is very high and being a monthly fee, it ends up not being worth it. You end up being stuck with the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Xmind for building out UX discovery, user journeys, information architecture, and user-group profiling. It's one of those essential tools that keeps finding uses. Xmind allows me to organize and present complex relational data in a way that colleagues and stakeholders can understand easily. It's super easy and intuitive to use, and I can let stakeholders who have never used it make edits without worrying about them breaking anything. I love the ability on the paid version to copy visual maps and paste into notepad, edit as text, process into Excel if I like, then copy as text and paste back into the UI, making the visual data compatible with data automation. It's not an advertised function, but it's absolutely magical for things like IA mapping. The initial setup was effortless with download and one-click install, signing in with Google, and boom. No matter where I work, I always have and use Xmind because it makes my life easier. I give it an absolute 10 out of 10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The auto layout can stand in the way of arranging data visually in the way I want it to display. When I have a map open, dragging a sub group to say the left of the hub group, causes all the other groups to reshuffle. It may be impossible to arrange them visually in the sequence I want, like labeled 1-6. The ability to say use SHIFT plus drag and drop without everything else auto re-distributing would be a massive improvement for me. A proper tool for importing CSV/XML/JSON would make data integration feel more secure because unadvertised features can be taken away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
