So MindManager 11 is now available for macOS, after dropping out for quite a while following a less than enthusiastic reception for their first Mac product.

Quite expensive, but then this is MindManager.

Like all MindManager Mac products, v11 is a shadow of the current Windows version (v18).

All the features missing from the Mac v11 version are the useful features in the Windows version that make the purchase worthwhile, in my opinion. I don’t get the point for why Corel even bothers with the Mac version.

I can only assume that they leverage the “integration” with MS Office and others to market it to corporate buyers.
Compared to any of the mind-mapping competition, it’s ludicrously expensive and doesn’t offer anything useful over the likes of MindNode and iThoughts.

I took a chance and upgraded my license primarily because of the stagnation and subscription paradigm of Novamind. I have a feeling that I’m going to continue to be unimpressed by MindManager on the Mac.

I will agree on the expensive bit, but believe that it does offer some really useful features compared to most of the competition.
Nevertheless, I decided this year to spare some of my company’s hard earned cash and go for Mindomo instead, which I find much more worthwhile for online collaboration, while also providing offline clients.
A major reason was the info that I received for Mindjet’s support that a new version would be announced around autumn; as I understand this would probably again be priced in a ‘friendly’ manner. One may of course opt to pay additionally for upgrade security for a year.
