I love the ease of accessing different shapes and using various connectors to create appealing diagrams. > > **Cons**: I think that Draw.io can be further improved by allowing to select the flexibility to, for example, connect the shapes with the connectors at whatever location desired. Further, I would love to see a lighter version of the plugins and direct access to draw.io diagrams in word or adobe. > > I absolutely love using Draw.io. It is my go to tool for create various kinds of diagrams and flowcharts. I have the tool added in my word plugin as well to easily access the diagrams. ----- ### "Powerful, free, and very intuitive" — 5.0/5 > **Dylan** | *28 December 2023* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love that draw.io can be used entirely for free, there are no diagram types nor crucial diagramming features that are locked behind a paywall. They have a wonderful free template library of starter diagrams and their tools are competitive with even most paid diagramming software. I absolutely love draw.io. > > **Cons**: Bigger more complicated diagrams can become slow and janky to edit, but being a web-based tool a completely understandable constraint, and can usually be forgiven and/or worked around by splitting diagrams up into more digestible chunks. > > Draw.io is my diagramming tool of choice. It's free, and easy to use, and you are free to download your diagrams in a variety of free and open-source formats for use in other software. Nothing is locked behind proprietary formats, or predatory pricing. If you want the more enterprise features to collaborate with bigger teams, you're welcome to pay, but you can go a very long way on the free tier. ----- ### "Diagrams.net aka draw.io a good alternative for your diagrams" — 4.0/5 > **Vincent** | *28 April 2022* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The capacity to be full integrated in my prduct software, easy to share too > > **Cons**: for ex, doesn't replace an mindmapper as wher as diagram.net got the minmap capability > > Every time I was to draw diagrams or flow, diagram.net offers a good and professional rendering ----- ### "Indispensable for Studies\!" — 5.0/5 > **Olga** | *29 August 2020* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Well, this service reminds me about the most memorable, pleasant and amazing time in my life. I was doing my first Master's at the Higher School of Economics (Moscow) and my daily studying routine included using different apps for creating presentations, slides, docs. I had not known any good app for creating block schematical diagrams and one of my group mates (she actually had a Bachelor's degree in Programming) advised me to use this app. The app turned out to be an inspiring and useful thing for brainstorming, analyzing and summarizing lots of data. It let me do my homework and research tasks fast and easy, without painstaking efforts and excessive pressure. In this service you can easily make any kind of precise diagrams, beautiful schemes, pie charts, block chains and many more. You can save your drafts, download in a suitable format and work on them later. Learning and studying process has never been so easy, comfortable, ergonomic and time-saving. The tasks which were shamefully time-consuming and complicated in the past have become now as easy as apple pie. Even if you just need to analyze, describe, summarize or explain lots of data to your colleague, grandma or friend, this service can become the best solution for you. > > **Cons**: Well, if you did not save and download all of your drafts in several formats before turning your device off, you would experience unpleasant problems with recovering your drafts then. > > That's just Splendid. Spectacular. Studious. Superb. Really remarkable. I cannot imagine how I would have done without this thing. User-friendly, responsive, adaptive, trustworthy, reliable, relieving\! Easy-to-use and flexible. Comfy and effortless. Efficient and Effective. The best tool I have ever used for my studying, working and research activities\! Powerful and simple. ----- ### "An easy alternative for Visio outside Windows OS" — 4.0/5 > **Daniel** | *20 January 2020* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is full web software to create diagrams of flows. Has a lot of templates and objects libraries similar to the MS Visio than help to create the draw. It is compatible with the Visio files. Also, you can use your OneDrive or Google Drive storage to work inside this. > > **Cons**: Despite you can open Visio files not always the metadata of these are open well. This generates compatibility problems between both applications. Also, I found problems using some Visio templates from my colleagues in the software. > > I began to use this software on my Mac when I needed to edit or create a diagram. It was my alternative because the MS Visio doesn't have version for macOS. But, due to the compatibility problems with some files with special metadata, I finally changed to use MS Visio in a virtual machine. ----- Page: 1 / 32\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/188956/draw-io?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/188956/draw-io) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
