I use the software for several years now and experienced several versions of mindomo.
I am an absolute fan.
It helps me to strukture complex topics like legislation initiatives of EBA and german banking authorities.
I also use it for brainstorming in workshops. In the end you can use mindomo even for the presentation.
An absolute recomendation from my point of view
Pros
Creating mind maps intuitive
Cloud feature with data stored in Germany under EU Legislation
Cons
No idea. My wish would be to store pictures or screenshots right within the map an not in seperate files

Pros
It has what you’d expect from a mind mapping application. Fairly easy to use and a low learning curve.
Cons
The visuals are very basic. I’ve used a few mind mapping tools and I found the designs to be unappealing.

It helps me visualize my thoughts and notes, and works well for brainstorming and capturing ideas.
Pros
Mindomo allows you to quickly capture ideas in the form of a mind map.
It has solid mobile apps and works on the web, allowing you to work with your maps from anywhere.
The map can be structured in a number of ways so that you can use it for brainstorming, project planning, building organization hierarchies, or taking notes.
I like the many tags you can use to brighten up your maps, and it is great for visualizing information.
Cons
The price is very high, and doesn't justify the limited features.
The cloud sync is only available to subscribers, and doesn't work very well.

It's the only mindmap tool I've stuck with. I even tried a software called The Brain, which does what MindModo does, but it's still rather inflexible with it's structure.
I love MindModo's clean interface, but can get as complex as I want it to.
I feel like I'm drawing out my mind, but don't have to spend the time drawing it out by hand.
Very dynamic, can't sing it's praises enough.
Pros
First of all, love that it's free!
It's got a great range of free features that allow me to be productive using it, not just 'test drive' it.
Lots of styling options for at-a-glance color coding (and branding)
Very flexible - I feel like I can really map out my mind - it's not limited to just one structure
Offline mode is great
MOBILE APP actually Functional & Usable!
Cons
Would be great if it could integrate with project management platforms, i.e. turn maps into tasks, but that's a tall order and not really a con.
I don't have any cons because it really gets the job done

Mindomo has been my preferred online tool for mind mapping since they started in 2007. Feature rich, fast, and easy to share and collaborate on maps with others.
Pros
The time from login to actually working on my map is very fast compared to other online tools. Very good, minimalistic design that don't get in the way of your thinking and working.
Cons
No filtering of multiple maps (i.e. what tasks are due today from my 5 project maps). Hoping for better filtering options in the near future.

I've been using several free/paid tools for mindmapping: Mindmeister, Xmind, Freemind and some others. My favorite was Xmind until they changed their cloud strategy. Mindomo was the best alternative at the perfect price for my use.
Pros
- you can save / manage mindmaps in the cloud
- you can customize templates
- you can share / bookmark maps urls
- you can use a huge database of templates / examples (like with some other competitors)
Cons
- the text editing section for annotations could be improved with better resizable & movable window

It is an efficient and easy to manage program
Reviewed on 16/03/2018
Pros
What I like most about this program is that you can make mental, conceptual maps, as well as diagrams in a very simple way. It is a program that does not require previous instructions and that is stored in the cloud directly. You can export your work in different formats without any mishap.
Cons
Really what I do not like is that to access some formats you have to pay a certain membership. In general, it does not have many cons

I am using Mindomo to organize my lecture material with links to resources. I am also using Mindomo for the assignment feature for student group work.
Pros
Ease of use and very easy to learn. Ability to copy and paste maps as well as import / export maps. Many ways to attach links, images, or files to a node.
Cons
The set styles to change color of nodes are not diverse or organized. It would be great to have the ability to save a new style rather than having to set it up for each new map.

With mindomo I was able to perform the necessary tasks on the pc and then show it on the web or cell phones. application interoperability makes it more secure. The cloud where I keep my work is essential.
Pros
I really like the ease with which I can extend my mind maps, add an extra touch of design and export to different formats. All without complex tools to use. Videos and audios can be added.
Cons
I didn't find any directions for the authoring, editing, and publishing tasks. Maybe a larger number of templates to start with.

Mindomo hits the sweet spot by making an intuitive balance between simplicity and functionality, so that new users would start mindmapping in no time while advanced users can access deeper functions and tricks.
Pros
- making elegant zooming presentations with beautiful themes which is way faster and easier to produce than slide based presentation tools.
- publishing interactive mindmaps with embedded notes, links, audio, videos and presentation, which is very enjoyable to navigate.
- real-time collaboration with comments, votes and chat.
- has dedicated business functionality (task management, gantt chart) and educational functionality (student assignment, LMS integration)
Cons
- free web version offers three mind maps limit
- mobile apps (android and ios) doesn't offer the same complete experience as the web or software version

This is changing for better, the way I organize my information before starting to draw the project concepts.
Mindomo is the first step, then, I can feel relaxed because I know that all I want, is inside my mindmap to fast research.
Pros
My team was having difficulties to organize the project ideas. I started to use Mindomo for curiosity as a consequence after reading a book called Mindmapping by Tony Buzan. The first try I didn't reach what I wanted but after a few attempts, the results started to show up. After I get confident with Mindomo, I showed to the team, they enjoyed because it was easy to understand and to use it.
Cons
For now, I coudn't find something that I disapprove.

It's a very fast and easy to use software that anyone can learn in short period of time. Interesting option (that usually have impact on audience) is incorporating external links to multimedia content. Simple and fast design is perfect for internal needs, and more intriguing design can be used for public/promotional needs.
Pros
This application is a fast one with simple user interface that anyone can learn in short period of time. There are many nice features incorporated in it.
(TASK MAP) HISTORY - it's unique feature for a desktop solution as user can see full history of some specific file (map). Also history for all made/used files is available and can be even filtered by user or time period.
EXPORT - is a full of options and is one of better ones.
THEMES - are a simple and fast solution to make nice and standardized design for your mind maps.
MULTIMEDIA - is incorporated in design, from simple icons (plenty of them) to http: links, Nice feature is that icons can be filtered by keywords (color, ...)
DESIGN - can be completely changed in few simple steps, also numbering of topics/subtopics is a nice feature.
Cons
User interface is minimalistic so many options are not available/visible during work but have to be looked for. Practically there aren't any options to choose from regarding application.

Best mindmapping tool on the markets
Reviewed on 25/05/2020
Pros
Shortcut keys make it effortless to build complex maps quickly. The arrangement of the maps as they grow is handled extremely well. There is no other mind mapping software that comes close to Mindomo in my experience, I have tried many others. The ability to copy and paste whole branches to other mind maps has come in really handy as well.
Cons
It would be good to be able to put more that one URL link on a topic. Also the icons can be slow to load and the "recent" icons section isn't always accurate.

Reviewed on 07/05/2019
Pros
It is simple to use with a lot of features. I like the fact I can access my mind maps from computers and my phone. You can discover it for free (with just a limit on the number of mind map). Very friendly customer service !
Cons
There was some limitations, I send them a mail and they explain how to overcome them (and now, they have even remove the limitation since the last update).

I'm a freelance writer/consultant who works alone 99% of the time so I don't have a sounding board for my thoughts. I've been using Mindomo for this since 2010 and it's saved me countless hours or reorganizing and rewriting as I tend to get things right-er the first time. I've also used mind maps created in Mindomo to illustrate organizational concepts in articles and in communications with colleagues.
Pros
It helps me organize my thoughts and presentations.
Cons
There have been times where operation has been unstable but that hasn't been for the last 6 months or so.

The site has never, to my knowledge, been down. I've compared Mindomo to several other online mindmapping tools and I always come back to Mindomo. Great tool. Easy to use and has all the features I've ever needed.

Very happy with the tool and the fact that is is available in a browser, anywhere you need it. It is snappy, clear, with just enough options, no overflow of functionality.
Pros
I like the ease of working, the freedom to connect in many ways. Most of all, I do use the root cause analysis tool and other "wizzards", it is functionality I have not seen elsewhere.
Cons
It is pricey, a multiple year offer with some discount would certainly be a good proposal.
