I worked perfectly in the creation of mental maps.

What do you like best? Use the free version and I was able to design mental maps to fulfill the academic assignments in my school. It is an easy-to-use program, it is innovative in editing these types of diagrams. It allows the creation of many types of diagrams, in my case use only mental maps and task planning diagrams, better known as Gantt diagrams. What do you dislike? When trying to capture all the planning for a year of a fictional project, I had problems because the diagram ...

Smart Draw Cloud is a complete misnomer. There is nothing smart about it. And it lost my work... total and utter waste of time.

Satisfaction with downloaded SmartDraw.

I was a little hesitant after the trial version as it ran so slowly that it was virtually unusable.However, with patience, I could see the potential of the programme so decided to buy it.The downloaded version is infinitely better. It is much, much faster and has a lot more attributes, which are very useful.It is at least as good as Visio, which I was very familiar with and I am very happy with it.

Eh

What do you like best? The infographics/charts/graphs are all very high quality. Many to choose from. If you're looking to put someone together with very little time, then this software is for you. Infographics come basically made to print. What do you dislike? There really isn't that much to choose from when you get down to it. Yes there is a lot there but many of the graphs are so specific that I could never see myself ever having use for them. I also found that the graphs are so ...

Easy to learn and use practical program

Easy to learn and use. As a course designer, the content that we develop using SmartDraw adds value to the presentations and learning. The sample templates often provide a jump-start to completion. Having access to drawings and documents online from just about anywhere is also beneficial. Great program with opportunities to help a lot of people and businesses.

A very good program would recommend it to other companies. Just me, I would like to see more already done business, restaurant plans. It also helps me to add another dimension to client proposals and get reports with the minimum of effort.

The most effective drawing software!

I've used Smartdraw for several years and I find it incredibly useful in producing a variety of systems and process charts for Business Process Analysis projects I run for my clients. The simplicity and flexibility of Smartdraw, together with the excellent integration with Office, means I can include high quality diagrams in reports with the minimum of effort. My clients love them - and, in turn, I love Smartdraw!I've just reviewed whether to continue with Smartdraw or move to an ...
