OmniGraffle

Omnigraffle has been an extremely versatile and dependable tool for my UX design work.

What do you like best? I think the speed and performance of the program is the best thing about it. I can quickly and intuitively throw designs together and not worrying about the app slowing down over time, which PS or Sketch tend to do. Templates and stencil customization is also great, especially when it comes to building flowcharts. What do you dislike? The learning curve and placement of functions in the app takes some getting used to and may not be as intuitive or pretty as it ...

Good for wireframing

What do you like best? Omnigraffle is working really fast and it's really easy to use. Best for fast sketches, graphs and for showing connections between any object (screens of an app for example). What do you dislike? It is not easy to set document size. No pixels. Only pt and who knows how many pixels will be in output. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? We use Omnigraffle for wireframing of mobile apps and websites. Or any other ...

Go-to software for IA and site-map style deliverables

What do you like best? Omnigraffle is great for creating simple wireframes quickly and easily. The library and third-party support is excellent and varied as you would expect from a well established application such as this. It's a well polished piece of software with great ux design in itself. Many of the editing tools and controls have been well thought through. What do you dislike? I tend not to use Omnigraffle so much anymore but I think this is more a reflection of how ux design ...

Interactive Developer, Front end, UX/UI developer

What do you like best? Pretty short learning curve and nice community built templates can help get a deck together very quickly. Finished products are very professional and ready for delivery. What do you dislike? In my process, I have all but eliminated delivering static documents. In my experience it is not a great use of client money and decks usually get put "on the shelf" to never be looked at again. I primarily build prototypes now to convey experience and behavior, but I am also ...

My go-to tool for diagrams, flow charts, Garrett IA, wireframes

What do you like best? Object oriented flowcharts mean things have actual logic relationships; entity charts can be grown, moved about, and extended. I use Omnigraffle for all kinds of quick diagrams, including flow charts, narrative flows, IAs, and quick wireframes, although increasingly Sketch is a better tool for software wireframing. What do you dislike? The help system is not useful and it has a longer learning curve than you'd expect. Some actions—like splitting a line—still ...

Great tool for low and high fidelity mocks

What do you like best? I like Omnigraffle, it's a good tool made for digital designers. I think it's useful how they have set up an online library that you can work with and download great looking pre-defined components for your design. It's also useful to edit lots of art boards all at once. I think one good advantage it has over Sketch is the layer management is WAY better, and doesn't confuse me. What do you dislike? I dislike the face that when i use the program it feels ...

Still the best diagraming software for OSX

What do you like best? Omnigraffle was one of the first 3rd party tools that really wowed me when I switched to OSX in 2008. It has a clean interface, it's stable, easy to use, and has consistently improved on minor usability issues in each release. It lets you create professional looking diagrams quickly and easily. PDF export works really well. What do you dislike? Unfortunately there are areas where Omnigraffle has lost its way a bit, or never lived up to its potential. ...

Powerful but Confusing

What do you like best? It is a really powerful and flexible tool What do you dislike? The interface is pretty complex, leading to a steep learning curve. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Creating workflows and user journey maps for product design and research.

Not bad software

What do you like best? Great for managing a complicated user flow or site map What do you dislike? interface was a little dated, didn't run well on my machine What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? product plannind

Awesome program, once you know how to use it

What do you like best? Great tool for site/content mapping and visualizing content relationships. What do you dislike? High learning curve and documentation isn't the best. Recommendations to others considering the product: Plan for a good chunk of time just learning how to use it properly. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Site/content mapping -- it makes this process much easier, cleaner, and more efficient.
