Comments on: MindView 3 for Mac better than MindManger 7 for Mac? Looks like it http://trishussey.com/2009/02/26/mindview-3-for-mac-better-than-mindmanger-7-for-mac-looks-like-it/ Social Media News, WordPress Info and Opinion from Tris Hussey author of Create Your Own Blog, Using WordPress and Teach Yourself Foursquare Tue, 07 Feb 2012 02:57:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Mark http://trishussey.com/2009/02/26/mindview-3-for-mac-better-than-mindmanger-7-for-mac-looks-like-it/#comment-10133 Mark Sun, 29 Aug 2010 02:13:00 +0000 http://www.trishussey.com/2009/02/26/mindview-3-for-mac-better-than-mindmanger-7-for-mac-looks-like-it/#comment-10133 I'd have to say it looses on 2 key grounds, had it both of these 3 I probably would have forked over my cash! 1. No import/export from MindManager - MindManager is used by all of my office, if you cant import/export to that, then its a no-show, do not collect $200 (or rather $300!) go directly to jail..! 2. No Mac version of the business version (with basic Gant Chart Integration) - The main reason I'm looking at this in the first place (and would consider the price-tag) is its ability to simply go from Mind Maps to Timelines (for customers) to Project Tools (for management) Without those 2 then its just a piece of over-priced mind-management software, at x2-x3 the price of its competition. No way am I paying $300 for a piece of Mac softtware thats not directly compatible with the rest of my Mac and PC colleagues, and just does a timline (something that you can find 10 programs for $25 on google!). Its a real pity though...many Mac users dont have project management software, and something to go from mind-management to a timeline to a project-view would be really, really nice... but dropping computability with the incumbent in mind-management, and removing the one feature that would justify its high price-tag (basic quick project management), means its just massively over-priced mind-management with a time-line..... Disappointing. I’d have to say it looses on 2 key grounds, had it both of these 3 I probably would have forked over my cash!
