This approach has led to the addition of some worthwhile features but it also raises questions regarding the company’s failure to listen to its existing customer base in terms of suggestions for additional features, improvements to existing features – or even in some cases getting these features to work properly. I think you may in fact be right on the latter point and this may explain a lot about the company’s direction in recent years. You state that Mindjet are listening more intently to the “voice of the customer” – yet you also concede that it is doing this by emulating the functions and capabilities of competing products. Your post raises some interesting points but I do take issue with some of them. Yes the likes of Xmind, ConceptDraw and other notable products are equal, if not more proficient in a few aspects of functions and capabilities yet Mindjet always pull a rabbit out of the hat when it comes down to the wire of innovation and creativity.Ĭongrats Mindjet I am pretty stoked and await with bated breath as to the bringing forth of reality from imagination yet again from you. I would like to see an added Kanban function inside Mindjet too, as this would encourage users to use desktop to cloud sync of their GTD, scheduling and personal/team productivity approaches.Īll in all, Mindjet is experiencing a rebirth and re-connectivity to their original purpose of being the most professionally put together graphical knowledge management product on the planet. Yes Kanban is being looked at by competitors and I understand CS Odessa the developers of ConceptDraw have added a Scrum function to their suite.

There’s one thing that may have been overlooked, and it’s KANBAN. I personally would like to see Mindjet begin to filter out the unnecessary functions and capabilities, and make it a more lean/Kaizen type of approach to what we the users need and want (read demand). But Mindjet still lead by being the most professionally put together bag of functions and capabilities for personal, academic and business aligned graphical information/knowledge mapping. The main competitor being Xmind and it does show, and very surprising these days that Mindjet is emulating competitors functions and capabilities just shows you how tides change. It does seem they are listening more intently to the Voice of the Customer and it has shown even in the current version. Mindjet still leads by virtue of their forward thinking. Some of these features are interesting and/or useful, especially if the assumption that the Zapier export availability is being extended to the standard version is correct. However, a number of features which users have long sought to have improved or incorporated in MM appear not to have been addressed in this version, if the preview is a comprehensive guide.

A technology guarantee that if you purchase either the English or German current version of MindManager after 15 July 2017 you will receive MM 2016 for Windows and MM 10 for Mac now and MM 2017 for Windows when it becomes available (by implication this statement indicates that there will not be a new Mac version any time soon).“Simplified file management” with a unified look covering file storage on the desktop, in SharePoint or in the cloud (Box is the only cloud service specifically mentioned, however).“Simplified flowchart creation” with new tools including a “fly-out topic shape selector”, right-angle relationship lines and new calendar display options.A critical path view in Gantt charts (again, a feature which users have long called for).

I’ve seen these install states be set to null very frequently.Example screen shot of MindManager 2017 (source: Mindjet)
#MINDJET MINDMANAGER 2016 UPGRADE#
If there is an older version of the application which matches a target upgrade code in the upgrade table, the upgrade flags could be causing the new install to copy the install state for the older version of the application.


There are properties that are not being set when the application is silently in an automated fashion.If this is the issue, you’ll want to use an MSI editor to change the install level property. You can test this by running the install with the silent switch while logged into the machine and see if you’re still getting this issue. The most likely scenario is that using a silent switch to install the application affects the feature levels of the MSI.However, I’ll do my best to provide some advice, since there are a lot of variables.Ī few different scenarios come to mind as possible issues:
