2D Graphic Design Software

I needed to figure out how to make additional prompts without chaining on prior prompts. I had to refresh and put on different Layers. It might be easier if it is clear with a button to end a prompt diagram and start a new one as separate items. Also, need to understand how to rerun a prompt after editing it, so it just redoes the Flowcharting Diagram. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are rewriting a system, and I had to make Flowchart Diagrams of the processes in the current system. LucidChart Gemini AI made the process quicker and a lot easier. This will allow us to map out the new system replacement a lot faster. That saves time and money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, my team and I have not come across many limitations while using Miro. That said, I think it would be beneficial to add gamification features to the home dashboard, as this could encourage teams to collaborate even more on Miro. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use Miro for a variety of purposes, including Product Management, PI and iteration planning, managing dependencies, and maintaining SoS boards. Additionally, we take advantage of templates to provide regular updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It could improve the customization of the screens and allow them to be arranged to the user's liking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Rebelle offers an intuitive environment with a traditional painting feel, realistically blending colors, which is a digitally refreshing breath of fresh air and allows for textures and colors that other software cannot achieve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the biggest part of Illustrator that is a barrier to entry for most users is that it isn't the most intuitive tool if you are uninitiated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Adobe Illustrator to create unique and original artwork for themes, logos, and ideation in training and business solutions. It simplifies getting started with AI features, media templates, and helps bring creative visions to life on screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recraft is an incredibly smooth, intuitive, and reliable AI design tool. Every feature works flawlessly, the interface is clean, and results are consistently high-quality. It’s fast, accurate, and perfect for both beginners and professionals. Honestly, there’s nothing to dislike, Recraft delivers exactly what it promises without any drawbacks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Recraft to quickly and easily create high-quality images for business advertising, solving the problem of relying on inconsistent external sources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Though there are great, detailed tutorials, I was late in finding them. But be assured, you'll find them with ease (pro tip: don't multitask).

I'm not certain this is a "dislike," but new features are introduced regularly—brilliant ones! I no longer have an office to drive to use to learn from the tutorials, but I typically have to reserve a Saturday to study the new ones. (It's worth it.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It engages my clients and prospects in my presentations.

It's also fun for me to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing major. Early on, there were some limitations with schema filtering and support for larger tables, but the team has been super responsive and shipped fixes quickly. One thing still on our wishlist is better versioning support, though the current setup already works well for most of our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It helps us quickly generate and share clear ER diagrams with the team, which is especially useful during onboarding and planning changes. Before ChartDB, we’d waste time explaining schemas manually or digging through SQL. Now we just share a link to the diagram, way faster and easier for everyone to understand what’s going on.

Wish there was a dedicated folder to save the art files rather than imbedded within the app. Hopefully it will be easier to save files in the future Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Procreate is solving the problem of being less cluttered and more streamlined while being filled with features yet exports to raster files with depth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, nothing worth mentioning so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We had a tight deadline to launch a landing page with animated icons. Instead of looping in a dev or using heavy libraries, I handled all the animations in SVGator and exported clean code. It shaved at least a week off the dev cycle. Plus, it works flawlessly across devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Didn't identify any notable shortcomings or weaknesses in Snappa it has smooth updates and the technical support is helpful and quick to respond. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Snappa to create high quality promotional graphics for my institutional blog and dynamic materials. The speed with which I update content has had a positive impact on engagement and the professional image I project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

LAYERS EXPORT:

I am a generation of MS Visio, but dropped it for EdrawMax. However, the inability to have layers exported as part of the PDF file is a big deal. It is always great for presentation purposes to toggle the layers on/off when taking someone through your chart. It would be tremendously powerful to have the option to export the PDF to include layers by default, with the layers fully having the same interactivity in the exported PDF as it is in the app.

GUI THEMES:

It would be great to have various additional themes in the app, allowing the user to have the customization possible in apps like PDF Xchange Pro, where the user can customize the GUI theme and colors to their taste. These are, however, not deal breakers for me at this port to revert to the previous apps for diagramming! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All my diagramming activities, from basic process flows and organizational charts to complex manufacturing processes, consistently deliver photo-realistic process flows that surpass my friend's expectations, leaving them amazed at the capabilities of the tool.

I really like everything about it. The only thing I've noticed is that the mobile version isn't as good, or I feel like it's a bit more difficult to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can produce designs relatively quickly, without relying exclusively on a professional designer, and its learning curve isn't very steep, which makes designing fast, even if it's your first time using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall, Sketch is a strong and capable tool, but it sometimes feels a bit behind when it comes to modern collaboration features. The biggest downside is that it works only on macOS, which makes teamwork difficult if everyone isn’t using a Mac. It’s great for solo work, but cross-platform collaboration definitely takes a hit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sketch makes my whole UI/UX workflow smoother by giving me a clean, well-organized space to design everything. I don’t have to jump between different tools — I can create wireframes, polished screens, and reusable components all in one place. It keeps the process easy, fast, and much more enjoyable.

I find that Affinity Designer doesn't meet my expectations in AI features. It doesn't look as good as other AI software. Additionally, there are little things that need improvement, like AI and adaptation in RTL format. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Affinity Designer for great design and 3D project rendering. It's comprehensive, combining tools for Photoshop, illustration, layout, and more, making it really worth using. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tool offers many options, so first time users may spend a few minutes finding the right settings. Though the tutorials and live chat make that ramp up quick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maptive addresses the problem of turning raw location data into actionable visual maps quickly.

It simplifies territory management, sales tracking, and service area visualization for my businesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s mostly for drawing so the photo manipulation part of the app is not so good. Also, the paid version could have more features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s a nice lightweight app to draw on the iPad or on my cellphone. I especially like the watercolor brushes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the app is outdated. While the features work perfectly fine, the icon packs are outdated. I also think they can update their icon pack or let me import icon packs so that I can use them directly from the app. Now I have to search on Google for icons and paste them into my projects. It would be better if they were readily available within the app itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Draw.io to visualize problems simply and present user flows and architecture diagrams easily. Its lightweight design and minimal UI facilitate effortless use even for beginners. However, updated icon packs within the app would enhance its utility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In Ease of use: the number of features can be overwhelming. I would really like if they could guide us into what is needed. For Example, I mostly work on small implementations for my clients. I would love a guided implementation on which diagrams and feature should be used for this specific use case within the app.

I also think they need to update their documentations. Map is now called diagram, and I was a bit confused at first Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Before using Elements.cloud, I faced several challenges in Salesforce business analysis and process documentation:

Lack of Clear Process Documentation – Previously, mapping out business processes was scattered across different tools like Lucidchart or spreadsheets, making it difficult to maintain a single source of truth.

• Benefit: Elements.cloud provides a structured, hierarchical process mapping approach that is easy to update and share with stakeholders.

2. Unorganized Requirement Gathering & Change Management – Managing Salesforce change requests was inefficient, often leading to scope creep, misalignment, and unnecessary rework.

• Benefit: With Elements.cloud, I can track business requirements, align them with processes, and ensure all stakeholders are on the same page before development begins.

3. Difficult Impact Analysis & Risk Management – Understanding how a change impacts Salesforce org configuration (objects, fields, automation) was time-consuming and error-prone.

• Benefit: Elements.cloud’s impact analysis features help me visualize dependencies and assess risks before implementing changes, preventing costly mistakes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GIMP's largest problem is that its user interface is older than that of paid programs like Photoshop. It could look clumsy and sometimes illegible to new users. Some of its higher-end features are more difficult to access, and some processes require more steps. Furthermore, as an open-source program, updates and plug-ins sometimes come less smoothly and less well-designed than paid programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GIMP allows me to access a decent photo editing application without having to spend much on software. I am able to edit images, create graphics, and enhance photos as a professional without having to purchase subscriptions or license fees. This has been especially useful for small business work and personal work where saving a few dollars is necessary but good quality is also required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing that disappoints me. I love this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Whimsical solves the “too many tools, not enough clarity” problem for me.

Before, brainstorming meant sticky notes everywhere, screenshots in Slack, wireframes in one tool, and flowcharts in another. Total chaos. Now, everything lives in one whimsical little world.

It helps me:

Map out complex user flows without my brain melting

Quickly spin ideas into visuals that my team actually gets

Keep collaboration async-friendly (no more “can you open that file in [other tool]?” moments)

The biggest benefit? Speed + shared understanding. Instead of explaining an idea in 200 words, I can sketch it in Whimsical in 2 minutes. My team moves faster because we’re literally on the same page (or canvas). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
