I use SmartDraw to draw custom projects, and I find it has a lot of options and seems easy to use. The pre-designed features are particularly valuable as they save us time, and the trial seemed easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like SmartDraw because it's easy to use. The interface is really straightforward, making it hassle-free to work with. The tools and drag-and-drop features for saving and sharing are super helpful and easy to manage. Another great thing is that I can store files in Google Drive, which is fantastic. Overall, all these productivity elements make SmartDraw very efficient and favorable for our team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't anything we dislike about SmartDraw Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of use is truly impressive. Having worked with software in the construction and electrical industry for more than 27 years, I can say this product was clearly created with the user’s needs in mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When entering text into vertical rectangles, it should be simpler to flip the text. The current method feels a bit cumbersome and could be improved for ease of use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of learning curve - not a traditional CAD software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some things I wanted it to do, like associate specific objects with other objects, it seemed not to do well. It would give distances automatically between certain objects, but not always the ones I wanted it to define the distance between. Also, it seemed like the geometry was not always 100% accurate. I had to tweak some parts of drawings to get the dimensions to add up correctly. I think it was displaying a rounded dimension or something so when numerous rounded dimensions were added together it didn't equal the expected whole. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That maintains scale and is relatively easy to add objects Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No 3D view and the shape selection is very limited. I'd like to be able to import cad or other 3d files for things like shop layout with manufactured parts/machines Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that this tool is intuitive and easy to use. After a few minutes of learning, one easily achieves a very professional result. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface could be a bit more educational and aesthetic. Have the option to customize the fonts as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find SmartDraw incredibly useful for creating process flow charts, org charts, and value stream mapping. The software significantly simplifies the visualization of processes, allowing me to easily identify areas for improvement. The provided templates are a real time saver, making it much quicker to get started on projects. I appreciate the images and icons available, and the ability to upload your own. Additionally, the ability to export diagrams to other file formats is a great feature that enhances flexibility and ease of sharing. The process visualization capabilities are excellent, providing clear and comprehensive insights into different workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find that sometimes moving objects around in SmartDraw can be quite challenging. For instance, when deleting a box in a process chart, rather than having the two connected objects join, the connections often fall apart, which makes the connectors inconvenient to handle when moving items manually. Additionally, with org chart templates, there is no ability to format a template in a specific way so that when I upload a file to create the chart, it retains the current format. This limitation requires me to recreate the formatting every time I upload a new chart, which is time-consuming. Furthermore, the integration options seem limited to OneDrive.

it allows us to complete drawings and documentation to scale and there is no guessing on size and proportion. This is much easier to use then AutoCad and more advanced then Visio Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it is web site driven. I would prefer it being on our server Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate SmartDraw's affordability and ease of use, which makes navigating and manipulating floor plans for custom homes straightforward and cost-effective. The software allows for quick adjustments without needing to send every minor change through a designer or architect, significantly streamlining my workflow. The inclusion of pre-loaded items is incredibly beneficial, as it eliminates the need for me to upload item packages, thus saving time and effort. I particularly love the ability to duplicate, flip, and rotate grouped items with ease, adding flexibility and speed to my design process. Additionally, I found the initial setup of SmartDraw to be very easy, which is a huge plus. These features collectively enhance my productivity and efficiency in designing floor plans.
