"Great product with terrific support"

"Worst UI I've ever experienced"
0/5
What do you like best about SmartDraw?

Nothing. I dislike it so much I took the time to log into G2 and write this review. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SmartDraw?

The UI is absolutely horrendous. It is not easy to build org or flow charts at all. It's about as clunky as it gets and nothing makes sense - that's after using it for 4 years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Steve Peterson of SmartDraw

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for your feedback—I'm sorry to hear about your experience. We work hard to make org charts and flowcharts intuitive and easy to use, so your comments are surprising and concerning.

I’d really appreciate the opportunity to learn more about what you found difficult. Please feel free to reach out to me directly at support@smartdraw.zendesk.com, and reference your G2 review so I can assist you promptly.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts.

Best regards,

Steve

"Very easy to use. Amazing fees compared to other diagramming softwares."
4.5/5
What do you like best about SmartDraw?

Mainly, I use the mechanical and piping diagram templates. The simple interface makes it very easy to use. I really like that you can make your own symbols and save it in a library for later use. I like how it is website based aswell, it does not take any physical storage, only cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SmartDraw?

The symbol library is missing some symbols. Since i am from australia, some symbols might be different and i will need to draw my own symbols. The line snaps are also hard to use sometimes, the lines would snap to something else instead of the one i wanted to, and it is very hard to adjust. The aligning tool could be a bit more intellect and accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
