"Great for Entity Relationship Diagrams"
4.5/5
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Samie Kaufman of Gliffy

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.

"The easiest tool to build diagrams"
3.5/5
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.

"Gliffy is Great"
5/5

I love the fact that the interface is so user friendly. You don't need to be an expert to create great looking Diagrams. The ability to share the diagrams via private links is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gliffy?

I would like there to be more tutorials on what Glify is capable of doing. Sometimes I'm just not sure of its full capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best deal ever, Gliffy is a proficient diagramming tool to help make things done."
5/5
What do you like best about Gliffy?

It is very easy to use Gliffy to make diagrams be it flowcharts or BPMN diagrams. With loads of templates to choose from, one can use the shapes in the templates or edit the templates to come of with the diagrams of their liking. Also, it uses a drag and drop technology that makes things easier and faster by allowing you to drag and drop images when making diagrams. It gives one a shared workspace where you can come together as a team, bring your individual ideas on board and collaboratively work together in making diagrams to ensure enhanced performance. The user support is on another level. The support team is always ready to assist you incase you need help or you have questions you need answered. Its flexibility allows it to integrate with Atlassian making it possible to create documentation for your diagrams with ease and technically without having to jump between multiple products.

"The best page in the world to make diagrams"
5/5
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% Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Samie Kaufman of Gliffy

15 years?! Laura Maria, that's awesome! Thanks so much for your review, and for diagramming with us through the years. :)

"Good Value for Workflow Illustrations"
4/5
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Samie Kaufman of Gliffy

This is a great review, thank you! I will look at opportunities to improve our exporting functionality — I really appreciate how specific you were on that topic. Happy diagramming!

"Gliffy makes creating diagrams incredibly easy"
5/5
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
