"SmartDraw is an intuitive, well-integrated software."
4.5/5
What do you like best about SmartDraw?

Ability to immediately have a starting point, a visual tool to use when beginning a new visualization. It is wide-ranging, with tools to create flow charts, org charts, floor plans, and other visual business tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SmartDraw?

At times, some of the formatting tools (lines, typeface options) can take a bit of time to register and "fit" into the visual format. We always get there, but getting there faster would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Migrated from Lucid to SmartDraw and never looked back"
5/5
What do you like best about SmartDraw?

There is a lot to like about SmartDraw, but I suppose what I like the best is the customer service. From the first interaction with sales through our 2nd year with the CSM, they have always been open, honest, and available when we need assistance. SmartDraw has also generously offered training sessions to increase adoption and answer technical questions to improve utilization across my company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SmartDraw?

I wouldn't say this dislike is unique to SmartDraw, but being a web-based tool can sometimes be limiting compared to native desktop versions of design and charting software. That said, for what we use it for, this does not pose a problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"SmartDraw Delivers on Speed and Simplicity"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SmartDraw?

SmartDraw has a huge library of templates. Whether you need an org chart, a floor plan, or even a network diagram, there’s usually something to get you started. I also like how easy it is to export diagrams into PDF or images for sharing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SmartDraw?

The only downside is the price. It’s not cheap if you only use it once in a while, but if you make diagrams regularly, it’s definitely worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SmartDraw?

There are some quirks that I am sure will be worked out. these are only IT issues and do not affect the overall performance. some of the issues could be User issues as well. i am still learning all of the "tricks" of the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An excellent customer service experience"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SmartDraw?

As part of my work role, I need to be able to depict accuate timelines of a series of events in an easy to read, diagramatic format, and SmartDraw includes that capability. The program is quite fun and eay to use, and allows for a consistently professional end-product to be created. Initially, being new to SD. I experienced several hinderances, but thanks to the patience and knowlede of a most wonderful customer support person, Ms. Vanessa Solis, I was professionally guided through the issues I was experiencing (not Smart Draw issues, but end-user issues), and now I am able to use SD with even more ease and proficiency - thanks indeed to Ms. Solis. It seems to me that Ms. Solis went above and beyond to assist me. She made a tiny video one day, and another day, she even set up a ZOOM tutorial event with me so that all of my issues could be addressed. I am very grateful to her for her kindness, patience and professionalism. SD is very fortunate to have a customer service rep of her caliber. Thank you! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SmartDraw?

I have only used one of the many diagram formats within SD, so I do not have a lot of experience to be able to answer this very thoroughly. Iniatially, I had several aspects that I was not enjoying about SD, but after being coached by Ms. Vanessa Solis as to the correct way to utilize the various features within SD, I no longer have any dislikes. Thank you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Solid product for producing maps showing global patterns"
5/5
What do you like best about SmartDraw?

I use SmartDraw specifically for producing those global maps showing patterns Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SmartDraw?

There is really only one decent template for what I do. I don't care about the 17+ which present the US. What a US-centric software. I guess the producers aren't interested in users outside the US. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
