This software has changed my career and my life! I used Xmind's diverse structure to sort out my understanding of business, and I used Xmind's pitch mode to practice expressing ideas and presentations directly. Xmind eventually helped me get through the darkest stage of my career. By the way, I found out their community at Discord: https://discord.gg/R2PqmCVZcd

Pay close to 100 USD to be able to search the mind maps? There are better free and open source alternatives that offer search without paying a dime: Freeplane, Freemind, etc.

ReviewDec 26, 2019

XMind has in my opinion gone from fast/lightweight, to clunky and slow over the years. I also feel they degraded the user interface, making used features more hidden, and allocating much screen space to buttons leading to 'premium'- and rarely used features. I now run version 3.1.1, which has the old clean UI and seems to be the last version prior to memory usage skyrocketing.

Over the years I have tried to find alternatives, but the visual map-aesthetics of competitors don't sit well with me, possibly because I used XMind for so many years.

Been using this program for over 5 years and it is a good alternative for Microsoft Visio. Although it does not have all Visio's features, but I do not need them for the task that I perform.

I don't think this application is designed to replace visio. Visio is a diagrammer whereas this is a mind mapper.

Agree :) However it has diagram, project planning and other nice features, which are similar to Visio.
