FreeMind

FREEMIND - un outil puissant pour afficher des informations sous forme graphique

Commentaires : J'utilise ce logiciel depuis plusieurs années et il m'a toujours parfaitement servi pour faire des mind maps.

Avantages :

FreeMind est incroyablement simple à utiliser, mais puissant pour cartographier les idées. Il permet aux utilisateurs de créer des mind maps, d'associer des nœuds les uns aux autres, d'insérer des liens, des icônes, des couleurs, des images... Il me permet non seulement de cartographier mes idées, mais aussi de gérer des projets et des tâches complexes. Et le mieux, c'est que ce n'est pas seulement un bon outil, mais aussi un outil gratuit, ce qui est très important pour moi qui travaille avec des organisations éducatives et des étudiants.

Inconvénients :

L'interface utilisateur est un peu ancienne et certaines fonctions sont difficiles à trouver et sont cachées.

Easy way to quickly capture concepts and plan projects, activity

Commentaires : I use FreeMind to first brainstorm, then document and systematize various processes related to my business activities. You can be as general or as granular as you choose, linking to websites, documents etc., to implement or collaborate on them. The various graphic icons available allow you to create industry-standard flows which everyone can recognize and understand. It's also very easy to import the most common mind-mapping file types, so finding cool mindmaps and editing for your own processes is a breeze. Plus, the price is right so if you're just getting your feet wet it's the perfect solution. Highly recommend.

Avantages :

I love the simplicity and clean graphic style which translates into easy-to-follow conceptualizations of processes and activities.

Inconvénients :

There's really nothing to dislike about FreeMind. It works exactly as advertised, the price is right and it's very easy to use.

It may look a bit basic, but actually it is the only thing you need for mindmapping.

Commentaires : I use a lot of mindmapping in my work for planning and ideation, especially when developing new projects/products with education non-profits. I used to do all my mindmaps in Freemind and also to track the progress of some projects (not on daily basis as a to-do list, but for tracking deliverables, milestones, making sure something is not forgotten or missed). Recently I have been using online mindmaps for some of these, as I usually share some of the maps with other colleagues/clients, but actually if you combine Freemind with OneDrive or Drobpox and just put the mm file in the folder that you share with the client/colleague you get the same result. And since the app is free, works on various platforms and is easy to use, with clean interface it makes it easy to do mindmapping on the same file together. Furthermore, it does not ask to open any accounts, you can have unlimited number of maps, etc. which is really an advantage over the online mindmaps.

Avantages :

The app is really great for making mind maps, especially if you are doing it as the planning or ideation tool, and not as a child doing a homework etc. since it looks really professional and clean, has adequate tagging options and allows you to have multiple maps. It is written in Java so it works on various platforms wherever you have the runtime which is another benefit. And the best thing is that it is not only good tool, but a free one as well, which is very important for me as I work with non-profits, educational organizations etc.

Inconvénients :

Although it should run without problems on all platforms as it is written in Java, the Mac version has been a challenge to have working properly. When I changed from Windows to Mac I found the process a bit problematic and actually that was the time when I started doing my mindmapping primarily online. This has more to do with Apple than Freemind itself, but it is worth noting for mac users.

Good for free software but dated

Commentaires : It's great for free but worth paying more for paid mindmap software

Avantages :

For a free tool it does the basic mind map making task very well with standard functionality included

Inconvénients :

It has a dated UI and some of the features are hard to find and hidden away

Great tool to make mind maps

Avantages :

Easy to use, free of charge, easy to export documents

Inconvénients :

I cannot think about any negative feature
