It is perfect for drawing projects, has a wide range of templates that arrive easier for you to work and all the types of diagrams yous need (at to the lowest degree it is for my IT area), it has a desktop and online version that allows you to work in any place, it is very useful.
SmartDraw is a very complete plication for all types of diagrams that you lot demand, has great virtues with respect to Visio that can be considered the number i in the market or at least used, when you need to diagram a project from the basic algorithm to the more complex gantt diagrams , this tool is very useful, it makes y'all much easier in work (in my experience much easier to use than Visio) the connectedness between diagrams is simpler, since finishing a diagram makes it much easier to do the post-obit, has a wide range of options and templates that help you in the cosmos process, contributing to the development of diagrams for systems that you are going to develop, a very useful tool for projects where you need to correctly capture what you want to develop, employ it, endeavour it for yourself.
Its main against is the price, the full version is very expensive although it allows you lot to savour the desktop version and its cost is very high, I recall you should download information technology to compete more in the market place. The speed of the online version sometimes fluctuates negatively, it is a mistake that must be corrected.

If I'grand being honest, the but thing that I like nearly SmartDraw is how the org chart looks once completed. It is also great that you tin can salvage information technology as a PDF file afterwards. It has a professional person await to it and it is very nice that each tab I have in the system saves as a new page when in PDF format.
When I open the programme, it seems as though a new problem arises. Sometimes I cannot copy and paste a section of the org chart, I cannot meet all of the tabs I take, or I cannot brand any edits. While I do similar how the org chart looks, getting to that point is rather frustrating. While I would love to be able to write a skillful review, I constantly encounter bug which takes up a lot of my time.

The only benefit I have received is when I quickly print what I am working on, so that this horribly unstable and unpredictable program volition not just lose it and delete even saved work from its memory. When y'all want to brand certain measurements, you will never be able to do so, because it only allows "anchored" points to be measured - non the particular or space you wish to measure. It is impossible to scale down their furniture selections/templates because they have it set to calibration down the width, when all you want to change is the length. It has been a disappointing waste product of time and coin.
I has little to say for Pros: because it is just as easy to draw boxes without having this plan. I learned every feature and applied all of the program's features. Information technology is likely that y'all could get a beginning design to give to someone, equally a elementary floor plan, if that is what you demand. But be sure to print information technology to preserve your work after each fiddling alter.
Customer service is practically zero and there is no "aid" or troubleshooting. If you try to contact them for support, you have to look and encounter if they will send yous an email the adjacent day - and they ordinarily won't. If y'all get the email, it does not remotely address the trouble or offering to talk you lot through it if their "solution" or instruction is not on point. Really disappointing. There is no motorcar save unless you are working in the Cloud for this program. Further, it constantly just stops and closes itself - and dumps all of your work during that session, even if you have been saving! Then, and then the hours of work are permanently lost - no kidding, Even if you pushed save. If you lot utilize it, you lot must remember to save, save, save - after each little line or inclusion and then impress. Then shut the program before its instability causes information technology to just shut itself as to the blueprint you lot are working on. If y'all don't close it down, you will lose all of your work. So - get this - when yous reopen a file after it has decided to shut downwardly, it says that there is a recovered piece of work file and asks if you desire to open it and recover it. If y'all say "aye" the program shuts down again, over and over and over. It is so unstable that it tin can't concur up to the tasks information technology claims to exist performing with its features, such as layers, measurements, inserting photos, etc.

I was a programmer in the 70's and flowcharts and diagrams were how nosotros designed applications and programs. SmartDraw was a great tool to get ideas "on newspaper" without having to describe it out, erase changes and shop the diagrams in a file binder. It was a cracking transition to a digital format.
No tool is a "perfect fit" for everyone and doesn't solve every need but this fills the diagram need nicely.

This is a heavy duty, feature packed software. Whereas virtually software with this degree of functionality is usually not intuitive, BizzDesign is. It is incredible for being able to integrated documentation with process flows and diagrams.
The cost is a picayune high. I think it's worth information technology overall though.
BizzDesign was so much improve.

Easily the most frustrating software that I take to use. I am unfortunately not aware of any other options in that cost range that accept the simplicity of interface and the features I need. This software would be groovy if information technology worked and if customer support wasn't bottomless.
The interface would be great if it worked. At the price, information technology would be a nifty value, if it worked.
ane. Many, many bugs. In particular, things often motion when they shouldn't, and saving your work never works like you expect information technology to. In particular, if yous salve a project, via the "save" button, then "save every bit" another file, the work that was "saved" on the original is lost. They refuse to admit this issues, but, over the telephone, they did explicate to me how to employ templates, which gives a decent workaround for this bug, for me. Which brings me to: two. When you contact client support via e-mail they are absurdly unhelpful. The final fourth dimension I sent a bug report in, I included footstep past step instructions for reproducing the bug. Every unmarried respond I received had cipher to do with the bug. I continued to ask "could you reproduce this bug on your end?", a question that they never answered once. Bugs are not a thing that customer service seems to be allowed to talk about, which is unfortunate, given how total of bugs this software is.

I am able to organize,plan,and create forms,documents for my ministry,and hobby,and it makes it so much easier to exercise.smart draw is a keen starter for anyone that has a hobby.or likes to continue track of activities.
This software not only helps you draw but has other activities you can plan,organize whatever kind of projection you lot desire to build.I got the free trial and it is swell.it is good equally a starter for a first timer that desires to create activities for piece of work,school,club,system.

Bully first impression. This is definitely not going to replace a major CAD software, but if you're looking for a fairly inexpensive, fairly easy to use cartoon software, this is a great option. I merely used the free trial and then far, but intend on purchasing this software considering I was impressed with the value it offers and the usability.
Fantabulous value for the money. Contains a wealth of symbol libraries and is relatively like shooting fish in a barrel to selection up.
Some of the options for line thickness, etc. tin can e a fleck difficult to locate at beginning until you get used to it. The snap function barely works sometimes and works too well other times.

The templates give you a construction when you lot are starting out and make things easier for you lot . The data migration procedure is intuitive and relatively quick .
More customization options when setting upwardly the metrics you would like to follow would be welcome . Some functions are more complex and you demand to be trained to use them .

Very happy with overall experience with smartdraw. And then never got the adventure to call back about an alternative.
Its an essential tool especially in Information technology Field to pattern network topology. Almost everything is there in templates to make the diagram more presentable and selfexplanatory.
Nothing at the moment every bit negative. Never changed to whatsoever other software for network design drawing.

Very easy interface to work with, and that helped me quickly set up out the office layout for our 100 person team and modify as people's requirements inverse through the procedure.
I've used this for years to plan out the cubicle layout of our office, the details and features brand it very easy to visualize and help people determine the best fits. Once y'all get the general structure it'due south really piece of cake to keep things upwards to date.
A footling bit of learning bend and the huge multifariousness of detailed images available is a niggling hard to navigate.

If you are trying to exercise small professional projects, or simply create a pattern of you home, SmartDraw's ease of apply and robust fix of options make it the smart selection over competitors.
Where this software really shines for our concern is its ease of use for submittal drawings when bidding and creating contracts for jobs. It allows the states to empower our salesmen to create their own submittals without the expense or grooming needed for some of the more than "professional" suites. This ways for smaller projects we practice non demand to necktie up our senior estimators, leaving their time complimentary and better spent with CAD. What this means is that for chore cost, we are able to use lower wage employees to perform simpler tasks and not swallow into the margins of a task from utilizing higher paid engineers.
Information technology can be a fleck finicky in trying to go it to do exactly what you want it to practise. Its ease of use sometimes means that you lot are fighting those very elements that make information technology piece of cake to make information technology practice what y'all want information technology to do. Snap to grids and the similar, while toggle-able, provide an annoyance when they should "just work".

I've used other floor planners and this one is definitely the easiest to utilize at a bully price.
Information technology'south very like shooting fish in a barrel to draw up a bones firm floor programme.
Express symbol options specific to interior design. If you use likewise many JPEG images within the file the system struggles to convert to PDF. (which isn't the case with my other design software). Oftentimes glitches when opening files and/or is very slow to open existing documents.

Many of our processes were formalized using Smartdraw, unfortunately we have since moved on.
Cracking software for flow charts and process maps. Used extensively for three years under a one time license.
Was only available for Windows at time of terminal use, since and so it has moved to a subscription, web-based platform which is a pregnant cost considering other better-value or gratis softwares that tin practise the same.
Hi Simon, Thank you for the feedback. If it helps, we do still offer SmartDraw for Windows, which is a one time payment with no required ongoing fees in guild to apply it.

With SmartDraw, I tin can create visual documents in an easy way, in addition to streamline the work, smartDraw has templates that come up with a library of shapes and symbols, which I can utilise with just drag them to the worksheet. I can add textures and photos to further ameliorate the certificate.

Over-all experience as per my requirements is good and doing my work done easily and fast.
Very easy to draw flowcharts. Hands import and export visio. Available at inexpensive price and tin can easily supercede visio i believe which is much costlier. One tin can use its rich library of colours. Templates help alot to quickly built mocks.
When I used i didn't find multiple user facility.

Information technology saved me a lot of coin by non hiring an architect to depict the prepare of my restaurant which was one of the offset steps to get an approval.
Easy to navigate and ease of utilize. It took me a few clicks and I was able to find all kinds of things I needed to work on my projects. One of the requirements for my business was to submit a design and I was told I demand an Builder for that simply I was also told that if I tin can draw and provide details in my drawings, it will be accepted and so I purchased SmartDraw although I have no knowledge how to use information technology. It was easy...really.
It didn't have some of the drawings I needed so I have to improvise. This took me a little time come with the desired drawing of object I needed; merely it however worked.

I tried Smartdraw for the first time in 2016 and I was impressed by the ease of use ; I understood the major workings effectually this program in a matter of days.I have used Smart depict for Gantt manner charting , simple drawings ,including floor drawings when I moved to my new home a while dorsum. Smartdraw provides users with a variety of modules ,making it a program which tin exist leveraged by unlike professionals in different career fields.
Smartdraw doesn't allow for remote collaboration similar what I take come to expect from months of recently embracing Lucidchart. I have also found out that when creating Gantt charts with this program , I am limited in the number of coloumns I am allowed to use.

Project direction and arrangement development.
I liked the cost and the like shooting fish in a barrel project management Tool Fix.
Newer version does not allow import of Excel or Text files to build org charts. This is a bear witness stopper for me!
Earlier version had the org chart import characteristic that I liked, forth with the price. Since the org chart import Excel and Text files feature has been eliminated, I'll have to wait for a different solution.
Hi Barry, Thank yous for the feedback. The Excel and text file import still exist for org charts. Whether you are using the online or downloaded version of SmartDraw, they are located in the SmartPanel on the left in one case y'all have opened an org chart. Hopefully this helps.

communication support and practiced fashion to share knowledge with others
SmartDraw has tons of images to support visual documentation. Information technology's great fashion to share knowledge with others using this solution. I use SmartDraw to create: process maps, like shooting fish in a barrel mindmaps, information flows and creative mix of ideas. Sometimes there is expert opportunity to export certificate as prototype file and put to MS Excel and add contextual values to present bigger motion-picture show of business in easy to understand fashion (complex but easy to see relations).
I'd like to meet more options in mindmapping surface area, to exist able to manage job information in advanced way.

SmartDraw comes with many types of templates that include flow charts, bar graphs and charts. If you do not observe a template that you like, you can create a customized template that suits your project, Photos, and images. Add photos and images to the document with the import to lump sum, re-create and paste the commands. Yous can also import images and photos from your digital camera, and and so manipulate them inside SmartDraw until you have the event you desire. Each template comes with a library of shapes and symbols, to apply these shapes and symbols, but drag them to your worksheet and place them where you desire. You tin add textures and photos to farther meliorate the document. It works well with programs such as Microsoft Office, Visio, Microsoft Project, SharePoint, and PowerPoint. And then yous can export the mind map to any of these programs to be able to share. You can export the file with simply one click of your mouse. The following graphics formats available to you: JPEG, PNG, BMP, TIFF, and GIF. Export the file to the web or send it anywhere in the world
It consumes abundant resources if your machine is slow it can become tedious to work, besides its installation is slow

SmartDraw is groovy if starting from scratch to create cartoon ( both simple & complex). If documents need to be traded with users who are using Visio, in that location will be issues-- peculiarly if drawings need to exist updated or converted beyond several users. It has nigh of the ability of Visio with some added discovery things so if one is starting without the requirement of Visio integration, its a solid, merely pricy tool.
Lots of examples and aid videos Enterprise discovery tools are swell but expensive
Stated the Enterprise version would import Visio merely it is not a 100% conversion to SmartDraw format so that the properties of the Visio document bear thru in the same way with the same functionality. *) Layers don't actually stay intact. *) Significant amount of the custom formatting gets lost. *) Back up and 'help' is primarily from static Web Videos. While they may provide some help, in that location is non much particular about what steps to take when things DO NOT work -- so one needs to call in and asking support. No exactly the fastest turnaround.
Didn't choose one. As stated above, Smart Draw only eliminates other tools, if there is no requirements to share or update documents from those tools. I still accept both on my systems.

SmartDraw is the starting time chart making software I used and I used it for almost all my nautical chart/ diagram requirements for a long time. Though I used this for creating heed-maps nearly of the time, it did contain all the tools i would require for any type of nautical chart. The software does need some getting used to but one time you're familiar with it, it does save a lot of time. If yous're not used to a defended chartmaker, give this 1 a try. You'll never get back to manually cartoon flowcharts, mind maps or hierarchies.
SmartDraw comes with a large number of templates that are customizable. You'll rarely take to build a chart from scratch with those. The software also consists of almost all the tools one would demand to make a nautical chart.
Using of the software does need a scrap getting used to and the workspace is not the most state-of-the-fine art for this software category.

The interphase is awesome, and you take no limits using this software you tin a simple diagram showing a workflow or you can practise a circuitous net design for established a network in an office building, you can even design plans of houses or do 3D models for applied science processes.
Information technology is really expensive, if your are going to buy it be sure of spend that amount of monet in one software, the best choice is apply the online version.
