SS Seth S. Director of Facilities 2/9/2026 "Cost-Effective Floor Plan Tool, Easy Setup" 3/5 What do you like best about SmartDraw? I like that SmartDraw is priced, honestly. AutoCAD is hundreds/thousands of dollars, and SmartDraw is a fraction of that price while fulfilling my need. It is easy to learn, and it's pretty straightforward to use. I also find the dimension aspect really easy to use and functional, and having the preloaded doors and windows is really nice. The initial setup was super easy; I just had to put my details in, and it started working right away. The free version available for seven days was super helpful in letting me know this is something I need for my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about SmartDraw? Sometimes the walls don't snap at the exact point that I would like. It seems to want to attach at certain previously dedicated spots around the exterior walls. So sometimes that is frustrating for me. But it could also just be a user error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is SmartDraw solving and how is that benefiting you? I use SmartDraw to create accurate floor and spatial plans quickly, replacing PowerPoint. It streamlines the process for executive reviews, cutting approval time by half.

The preloaded templates. There are a wide variety of things that get you started quickly, from mind maps to charts and graphs to project planning. You can quickly convert your data from one type to another (though the list is limited based on what you started with). It is easy to add shapes, the shapes are automatically positioned and connected, which is nice for high level simple diagrams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about SmartDraw? Is it too hard to say what don't I dislike? I like the tool in concept more than in reality. I almost always have problems with it getting it to do what I actually want. Whenever I'm doing a flowchart I always give up and go to Visio because I need to be able to rearrange or align shapes and can't. It's hard to switch the arrow types. Forget flow charts here (and I do a lot of flow charts). I tried extensively to use the project planning templates, to forecast dates, etc. It looks great when it's all done, but when you need to edit dates later... it doesn't adjust very well. Reentering the dates for every task by hand to override the "intelligent" update that screws them all up is annoying to put it mildly. The charts and diagrams are nice enough, but again they're kind of locked down. Lately I've been going back to Word and using SmartArt instead. No client ever has this tool, they have Project and Visio so it's not easy enough to share and collaborate on the documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering SmartDraw: Look at your use cases carefully. Do you detailed flow charting? Visio is better. Do you do project planning with interdependencies? Project is better. Do you need to do a lot of quick and simple diagrams or mind maps? Then this tool can work for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is SmartDraw solving and how is that benefiting you? I'm not sure if we solved anything. I think the benefits were short lived. We went from buying this tool and centralizing on it so that everyone could have a mind mapping tool and a flow chart tool (it's much cheaper than Visio) to most people not using it anyways... It is still easy though for some staff when they need to build a quick one off simple visual display chart/diagram. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
