I did notice that at Comapping – they responded very politely and quickly to my e-mail about the desktop version, and the e-mail was signed by their CEO (probably not written by him), but anyway shows an unusual level of care for questions from a regular user.

Hmm collaboration in Comapping worked really well recently for me – and I also know they did some fixes this week as they replied to my feedback mail.
As for relations – well no idea in fact, but both look inspired by the latest Microsoft Office – so it might be a coincidence.

It’s true, I haven’t really tested collaboration – in the previous review I mentioned it, should have mentioned it also in this one. This is not a big issue for my needs right now, so I didn’t place much emphasis on it. But thanks guys for letting us know. BTW, do you know why Mindomo and Comapping are so similar to each other? There must be something going on between the two companies…

I’ve also tried out real-time collaboration in all the three tools – Comapping crashed on me, Mindomo doesn’t have it at all, only MindMeister worked fine. So I’ll definitely stick with MindMeister

Just a small comment – have you compared how collaborative editing works in Comapping and Mindomo? I’ve just tried both, and it seems that Comapping is a lot more advanced in it – it gives you real collaboration (like MindMeister), but in Mindomo each save just overwrites other’s work. But maybe I’m wrong and just misunderstood something.
