Quick diagram creation within Confluence **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Matthew L. | Business Analyst, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 20, 2024 **What do you like best about Gliffy?** Gliffy allows me to readily communicate ideas and concepts to various stakeholders and offers numerous types of diagram options. The tool also makes it easy to locate the shapes/icons needed to effectively get an idea/concept across without having to go overboard with text. Also have found the Gliffy Office Hours meetings to be an effective way to learn about new features and how others are utilizing the tool. **What do you dislike about Gliffy?** It can be difficult at times to select specific elements of a diagram when you have elements overlapped; this draw back can be especially frustrating when creating rough UX mockups. **What problems is Gliffy solving and how is that benefiting you?** * Need to create various flow diagrams for defining how new products/features will behave to ensure that Business and Development Teams have the same understanding * Allows for quick creation of UX wireframe to define what various pages in an application will look like in order to flesh out Acceptance Criteria and to uncover requirements as it is easier to talk to a picture than to just talk about something in the abstract. **Official Response from Samie Kaufman:** > Hi Matthew! Thanks so much for taking the time to review us. I'm really glad you're finding our Office Hours sessions to be helpful, and I appreciate your feedback on selecting items within a diagram.

There are many ways to also customise everything to suit your needs (i.e arrow shapes, size, type etc) **What do you dislike about Gliffy?** I initially disliked how to arrow function was very fiddly but then realised I was not using the correct type. It takes a bit getting used to but eventually got there. The editing property icons are not self explanatory so you have to fiddle around a little bit to find things you want. **What problems is Gliffy solving and how is that benefiting you?** A simple way to create diagrams and be able to export it so that it can be linked or applied externally in documentation. It also keeps track of various versions which is important as sometimes we need to access some older versions to restore it or for historical purposes. **Official Response from Samie Kaufman:** > Thanks for your review!

Everything I need and more for a Consultant **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consulting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 25, 2023 **What do you like best about Gliffy?** I like all the functions and available features. When I first started using it, I compared to other apps/competitors and didn't think it could produce the same results. But I was wrong. Gliffy is feature-rich and helps me to complete common tasks, ranging from business process diagrams to wireframes to entity relationship diagrams and more. I use it on every project (in multiple ways) to give a visualization of what to expect and talk through the business needs. I'm still learning more capabilities (such as layering) and looking forward to continuing to use it in the future! **What do you dislike about Gliffy?** Sometimes it's difficult to find the functionality. It took me forever to realize I could include comments like other apps because it wasn't an available menu option when right-clicking a component. Once you select (left-click) a box, then you can use the menu bar for additional functions. But I assumed everything would be available with my mouse right-click. Not a big deal though...all the functionality is there. Just like anything--you have to figure out how to navigate it. **What problems is Gliffy solving and how is that benefiting you?** Business process mapping, wireframes, and entity-relationship diagrams have helped me to drive conversations with clients about how their current state will be transformed and what the solution might look like before we waste hours building something they don't understand or want. **Official Response from Samie Kaufman:** > Hi there, I really appreciate your thoughtful review! Because we want to encourage people to use Gliffy for sharing both high-level details and intricate processes, I love the callout that we should make commenting even easier.

In the future, it can compete with Miro as well. ### 23. Excellent tool for process mapping **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ben W. | VP of Operations, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 21, 2023 **What do you like best about Gliffy?** Intuitive UI, lots of flexibility and pre-built templates for colors and formatting, lots of formatting tools to fast-track process map setup. **What do you dislike about Gliffy?** Exports have to be as image files, which restricts ability to do heavy lifting in Gliffy and then export to PPT for fine-tuning. I can only export the final image file and import it onto a slide as a static image. **What problems is Gliffy solving and how is that benefiting you?** Very good for rapid creation of process maps. Excellent alternative to Visio, which is uncessarily expensive for my use of the software. ### 24. Mind Mapping With Gliffy **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Vincent B. | Head of Business Development & Partnerships , Sports, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 11, 2023 **What do you like best about Gliffy?** It has a very intuitive, appealing user interface that is easy to navigate. I love the drag-and-drop feature, which makes it easy to come up with tree diagrams, flow charts, or any diagram you want. It also offers a variety of templates, so you do not have to build everything from scratch. We use Gliffy to map our product ideas to implementation with the ability to edit. I must say it is an excellent tool for mind mapping. **What do you dislike about Gliffy?** It becomes a challenge when it comes to customization because sometimes you need specific features for a project. Still, it is impossible to customize the platform to get what you need fully. **What problems is Gliffy solving and how is that benefiting you?** It has helped us visualize ideas and easily create the product roadmap because of the drag-and-drop feature. We are also able to collaborate, and this has given us the ability to work efficiently. ### 25. Software Engineer **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Maharshi P. | Developer Success Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 14, 2024 **What do you like best about Gliffy?** Good User Interface and easy to use and honest review **What do you dislike about Gliffy?** Sometimes, It's slow.

Great Platform, used for many years **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ryan F. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 20, 2023 **What do you like best about Gliffy?** Making drawings on any system with internet access. Also importing of images to use in drawings and diagrams is great. **What do you dislike about Gliffy?** It is limited to a "Web Experience" so not quite a stand alone application. **What problems is Gliffy solving and how is that benefiting you?** Fast to create drawing on any system so as I don't need to bring a laptop or the like to a client. **Official Response from Samie Kaufman:** > Thanks for your review of Gliffy, Ryan!! ### 27. Maybe the best tool to make complex flows for programming **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Program Development | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 16, 2023 **What do you like best about Gliffy?** I recently had the pleasure of using Gliffy, and I must say that it has completely transformed the way I create diagrams. Gliffy's robust features, user-friendly interface, and exceptional performance make it a top-notch diagramming tool, One of the standout qualities of Gliffy is its impressive selection of pre-built shapes and templates. Whether I needed to create flowcharts, organizational charts, wireframes, or even network diagrams, Gliffy had an extensive library to choose from. The user interface of Gliffy is incredibly intuitive and user-friendly. Even as a newcomer, I found it easy to navigate and create professional-looking diagrams without any prior experience. Collaboration is another area where Gliffy shines. The ability to share diagrams with teammates made it effortless to gather feedback and work together on a project. **What do you dislike about Gliffy?** Gliffy provides a range of shapes and templates, but the customization options for these elements may be somewhat limited. Users seeking advanced customization, such as fine-grained control over shape properties or the ability to create custom shapes, may find Gliffy's options somewhat restricted. Also Gliffy is primarily cloud-based, which means in order to access and work on your diagrams you need an internet connection.Maybe a application on linux could do the trick! **What problems is Gliffy solving and how is that benefiting you?** Streamlining diagram creation,Enhancing collaboration and communication,Improving clarity and understanding,Increasing productivity and efficiency,Providing scalability and versatility **Official Response from Samie Kaufman:** > Awesome feedback — thank you so much. I'm really glad you find our templates to be so helpful, and I'll be sure to share your feedback about custom shapes with the team! ### 28. Gliffy, an intuitive applicaton for diagrams of all kinds **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Pauline P. | Marketing & Sales Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 21, 2023 **What do you like best about Gliffy?** It is a balanced application with the possibility of being used on a low-resource device since it is light and easy to use, it is perfect for making process diagrams and UML documents, and at the same time, it has the capacity to be used as an extension in other development tools, such as Chalk and Clonfuence, the latter being a very useful Atlassian tool. In addition, it has efficiency in the creation of a diagram thanks to Confluence, allowing it to switch between layers, information and points of the drawing or diagram, being easily accessible in the diagram viewer. It is a simple way to apply and create templates, and an efficient way to share real-time updates of information. **What do you dislike about Gliffy?** The components of the tool can become very unstable and slow to use as it consumes more memory. Most importantly, connectors would be a great benefit to the design, or at least more options (both for flow direction and indicators), without having to do it manually. Gliffy should also improve file management and, at the same time, the handling of the texts in the diagrams because it can be inaccurate sometimes and mess up the organization of the diagram. **What problems is Gliffy solving and how is that benefiting you?** When dealing with having to create multiple diagrams, there is no other tool that surpasses Gliffy, it gets out of trouble when a flowchart is required to explain the cycle of a process, organizational charts can be made in a simple way, and it has adapted to our needs. It has allowed us to generate multiple diagrams that help us organize the data and turn it into easily understandable and beautiful charts. **Official Response from Samie Kaufman:** > Hi Pauline!

Great for Entity Relationship Diagrams **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mark H. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 24, 2023 **What do you like best about Gliffy?** My company uses Gliffy for Entity Relationship diagrams, we also have access to DrawIO however we find gliffy much easier to design ERD's in than DrawIO which is incredibly clunky. **What do you dislike about Gliffy?** It would be nice to get access to a perpetual license as we have a growing team and its a pain to constantly add and remove users, a better group management function would be greatly appreciated. **What problems is Gliffy solving and how is that benefiting you?** Gliffy provides an electronic Entity Relationship Diagram store for our internal software development projects. The main benenfit we see is the ability to easily share and collaborate on ERD documents with other users across the team. **Official Response from Samie Kaufman:** > Hi Mark, I'm glad you're enjoying using Gliffy for ERDs! I'm passing your feedback about perpetual licensing along to our product team — really appreciate that insight. ### 32. The easiest tool to build diagrams **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Marcos V. | Marketing Director, Insurance, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 08, 2023 **What do you like best about Gliffy?** Giffy is the best diagram building tool out there. Mostly, I like the interface and how intuitive it is; because it is built like a very interactive tool, it is not difficult to figure out each one of the tools and what they are used for, as well as the fact that the guides provided by Gliffy are very helpful when initiating. When it comes to the tools, I like the drag and drop tool because it is easy to add the information for the diagrams and organize it accordingly, the templates are creative, and the editor is super helpful to have when any changes want to be made to a template. **What do you dislike about Gliffy?** I use the online version of Gliffy to build diagrams for our organization, however, I have noticed that the program will slow down over time while building the diagrams, I thinke that it might be because of the addition of information each time but it still is a bit annoying to experience. **What problems is Gliffy solving and how is that benefiting you?** Gliffy has helped me build a variety of different diagrams and mind maps to visualize our data and present it in various ways that are easier to digest and understand for the rest of our members. It has helped me a lot during presentations to have clearer ideas and be able to bring them to life, and it has also helped me strategize different processes of our business and create new business strategies thanks to the visual help that the software and the diagrams provide. ### 33.

The best page in the world to make diagrams **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Laura Maria L. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 28, 2023 **What do you like best about Gliffy?** I have been a Gliffy user for over 15 years and in that time I have tried other sites and apps but none are as good and easy to use as Gliffy. I recommend it 100% **What do you dislike about Gliffy?** It would be good if they included an option for students and set a lower rate for these accounts because I have recommended it to do homework and they don't subscribe because they prefer to use other free pages. **What problems is Gliffy solving and how is that benefiting you?** helps organize concepts and clarify them to better understand them **Official Response from Samie Kaufman:** > 15 years?! Laura Maria, that's awesome! Thanks so much for your review, and for diagramming with us through the years. :) ### 38. Good Value for Workflow Illustrations **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food Production | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 25, 2023 **What do you like best about Gliffy?** Gliffy is an great tool as an ops leader. Creating workflow illustrations to promote accountability, safety and process improvement adds tremendous value. I'd describe Gliffy as an unfussy and mostly intutive tool. **What do you dislike about Gliffy?** I'm getting exactly what I expected out of Gliffy. I do think that more advanced exporting options would be helpful. Specifically, sizing was a bit tricky to familiarize myself with to ensure it translated well after export. **What problems is Gliffy solving and how is that benefiting you?** Illustrating operational workflows. Our team can better understand roles for themselves and a way to feel comfortable keeping each other accountable and safe. **Official Response from Samie Kaufman:** > This is a great review, thank you!

Gliffy makes creating diagrams incredibly easy **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Paul P. | President, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 20, 2023 **What do you like best about Gliffy?** It took me a while to notice this feature, but you can drag in your own image assets. This has worked really well, because I'm able to build diagrams using high quality image assets. Exporting the entire thing as a PNG is great for saving on the NAS, or printing out for reference. **What do you dislike about Gliffy?** I use Gliffy standalone and as a Jira plugin. It'd be nice if these could be combined into a single subscription. It would also be nice if you could import and use Visio stencils directly. **What problems is Gliffy solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are using it primarily for network diagramming, and planning out data center infrastructure. We have cabinets, routers, servers, all racked up and identified in the charts which make it easy to remember where things go, and how everything is networked. This makes it easy to onboard new employees, and helps us diagnose issues more quickly. ### 41. Outstanding software for making network diagnostics **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 17, 2018 **What do you like best about Gliffy?** I've been using Gliffy for years, it's very simple to get started, and they have a wide variety of stock images, but if you can' find what you're looking for, you can import your own to fit a diagram to your exact needs. You can easily export it, too. **What do you dislike about Gliffy?** There is nothing I dislike. You have to scroll a bit on larger networks, but I don't think there is a way around that, it would happen on any diagram software. **What problems is Gliffy solving and how is that benefiting you?** Creating a diagram allows much better support for a client, as any tech can view the relevant configuration and layout, even if they've never been to the site. Having updated, easily modifiable diagrams of client networks makes communication and troubleshooting **Official Response from Samie Kaufman:** > Thanks for updating your review! Glad you're still loving Gliffy!! ### 42. Gliffy is the Bomb **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Stephen H. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 26, 2023 **What do you like best about Gliffy?** Intuitive, easy to use, and easy to export. It is so easy, that I use it "live" in the middle of my Leadership workshops to create new algorithms and process maps "on-the-fly" for the participants in my Leadership Labs. **What do you dislike about Gliffy?** I can't think of any. It is the easiest process mapping tool I have ever used. **What problems is Gliffy solving and how is that benefiting you?** Participants in my Leadership Labs need to create new work processes and then teach their colleagues and teammates how to use those new processes. I show them how to use Gliffy to create a flow chart or algorithm for their newly created process. Gliffy is the easiest way for them to memorialize - on paper - the process they have created through A3 problem-solving. **Official Response from Samie Kaufman:** > Stephen, this is such an awesome review. Thanks for introducing Gliffy to your students! It's awesome to hear that you have that level of confidence with our diagramming tool. :) ### 43. Gliffy makes diagramming easy **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kimberly H. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 19, 2023 **What do you like best about Gliffy?** Gliffy makes it very easy to create and label diagrams. I have used it for several years to diagram complex estate plans so clients can have a quick visual reminder of how their plan works and for diagramming large family trees in probate cases so the court can easily see who is related to whom. Gliffy's simple interface, drag-and-drop functions, and automatically aligning grid allow me to create professional-looking results quickly. **What do you dislike about Gliffy?** I wish there were more options for saving/exporting the diagrams. Sometimes I end up exporting the file then dropping the image onto a word document to be able to get the diagram centered and looking just right for printing. **What problems is Gliffy solving and how is that benefiting you?** Creating a visual diagram of complex estate plans or large family trees. **Official Response from Samie Kaufman:** > This is such a cool use for Gliffy! Thanks for sharing, Kimberly. We hear you loud and clear on more options for exporting your diagrams – passing that feedback along to our product team. Thanks! ### 44.

There are plenty of templates to choose from, I primarily use the network and process flowchart. It's very intuitive and the learning curve is low (especially if you've used competing products). **What do you dislike about Gliffy?** I love that it's cloud based (storing all my documents) -- if there were dedicated apps (primarily looking for an ios app) would make it even better. The price is right, so I certainly can't dislike that. It really does everything I need for my consulting firm. **What problems is Gliffy solving and how is that benefiting you?** I need to have a program to help clients visualize my recommendations. Mostly I use it for process improvement and network diagramming. It does so much more, but fits my needs without being difficult to use. ### 46.

Additionally, Gliffy offers a wide variety of diagram types and shapes, so you can create exactly what you need. **What do you dislike about Gliffy?** While Gliffy has a lot of great features, there are also some downsides to consider. One downside is that it doesn't offer as much customization as some other diagramming tools on the market. You may find that you're limited in your ability to make your diagrams look exactly how you want. **What problems is Gliffy solving and how is that benefiting you?** This tool has some amazing features that can make our work easier and more efficient. First of all, Gliffy is great for enhancing teamwork and collaboration. With its collaboration features, our team members can work together on diagrams from anywhere, which makes communication a breeze and speeds up the design process.

There's a lot of built-in support for common functionality. **What do you dislike about Gliffy?** Not much. I leverage the exporting functionality and it behaves as desired. Maybe there could be more options for selecting multiple widgets and performing actions across them (e.g. I want to change all my icons from 90x90px to 72x72px in a single action) **What problems is Gliffy solving and how is that benefiting you?** Architectural diagrams for cloud infrastructure, interactions between components, and I've even used it to draw up an organizational heirarchy.
