XMind vs Visio: Which is best for you?

The usability is excellent — keyboard shortcuts made brainstorming faster, and my QA team adopted it quickly.

I can easily collapse any area I do not want to engage with at the moment so I do not see it.

Having a degree of Project management and/or process management experience helps significantly in understanding the use of the different icons, although there are some very useful templates to help with creating your visuals.

Due to its pricing, Visio isn't available for our users by default (like other MS Office products, Word, excel, outlook etc.) and require purchasing of additional licenses.
