Excellent alternative to Visio software…

Excellent alternative to Visio software which was discontinued years ago. I'm finally able to import and revise my old Visio files! Also, this software comes with many pre-made templates. Great for being able to "see" various estate planning concepts. Great software.

Great Tool, but I would like to see some options availables.

I love use smartdraw for all my diagrams, flows, networking, etc...But in the interaction for me I would like to see a 'Hand' Option to move me into the more fluid in the screen, other thing is the Zoom menu I think can be better and some times the screen freezes and closes it authomaticlally. Thank you!

Good Value for money

I tried the trial version and found the program to be good for what i needed and that was to design a large warehouse , workshop and office . As i found the program very easy i decided to purchase the full program and this was also an easy process. I recommend it.

Excellent Support!

Purchased Smart Draw in 2011 for work. Had not contacted for support in over 4 years. When I got my new laptop at work, I had problems with installation. I contacted support and my problem was resolved very quickly and the support desk followed through until all issues were resolved. Love the product! Love the support services!

Waste of time

As echoed below, the trail is a complete waste of time. Can only export drawings with intrusive watermarks on them which block any content from being read.I will not be purchasing as I have no idea what the finished drawings will look like in a report.

A best diagram tool

What do you like best? We use SmartDraw to design a wide range of charts that we need in our workflow. There are lots of built-in templates and features available in SmartDraw. This is a multiplatform software that runs smoothly on many operating systems. SmartDraw is easy to implement and there are lots of resources available to learn SmartDraw. What do you dislike? The lack of advanced features. But overall functionality is good What problems are you solving with the product? What ...

Trial is a waste of time as you cannot use any images created.

Thought I'd give it a go as we're all a bit sick of Draw.Io. Created my first image in SmartDraw but can't export it without the "made with trial copy" watermark. With this kind of tool, I want to be able to use the software for a few weeks, across different use cases, to get a sense of whether it's worth purchasing for my teamAs we cannot export images to use, we have no idea of whether this software improves our company. We won't be purchasing it. This is not how to offer a trial. We'll ...

Excellent Visual Aid

In short, SmartDraw was EXACTLY what I was looking for as I prepare to launch my first business. I'll detail my exact use of it specific to my business type, but I'm sure anyone can extrapolate it to other business types for their use. My business is in fitness and I was looking at different locations of varying square footage. The fitness business studio requires exercise equipment that is both fixed (bolted as well as movable (soft goods. Standalone, it was a challenge to figure out ...
