Very good online option for flowcharts and other purposes; can be quite cost-effective, too, depending on how you use it.

Gliffy
Gliffy is great if you're on a project budget and don't want to spend money on a tool like Visio. However, I'd look at other options like Lucidchart before locking into Gliffy. There are plenty of tools that I think you'll be happier with than Gliffy. Again, it's not a bad tool, but if I had to start paying for Gliffy, I'd create a process flow in PowerPoint before spending money on Gliffy.

Pros
Creately
- Creately provides the same experience that other similar tools (i.e. Visio) provides, but presents it in a much more colorful, unique manner. The colors are vibrant, and my clients have always been impressed with the quality and feel.
- Creately provides a lot of creative control over how your images look. I can play with the opacity and color scheme, or use what they already provide.
- Creately also allows me to create wireframes for clients to review, whether desktop or mobile. I can create simple, easy to understand frames and concepts in minutes - they're super professional looking and ready to share.
- I like the pricing model. Right now I can pay month-to-month, or pay a one-time fee for a year. It's also less expensive than Visio, which is very nice.

Gliffy
- First it's important to point out that Gliffy has priced itself incredibly well for small to medium sized businesses. Most other similar solutions are so expensive that organizations will avoid getting workflow software overall. Gliffy can take pride in knowing they're helping small business operate better.
- Gliffy is incredibly easy to use for a first time user. I rarely have to train someone on how to use it. It's a lot of fun to see people get excited about systems and processes when using Gliffy. If you need to get up and running quickly I can't think of a better solution for workflow visualization.
- I also like using Gliffy for mindmapping. I'm sure some mindmapping experts can tell me how I'm doing that incorrectly, but it just works for me. This points to the ease with which Gliffy allows you to get your thoughts down quickly and easily.

Cons
Creately
- The transition Creately made this year to their new non-Flash platform seems to almost function like a beta release in some instances.
- Customer support sometimes takes a while to return and the responses are not always the best or most helpful. Follow up isn't great, either.

Gliffy
- The limitation on the color customization of the diagrams.
- There are bugs in the view via web browsers like Google Chrome
- Should provide an ability to download diagrams in various available formats

I didn't bother answering all of the other questions because all you need to know is that Gliffy is incredibly easy to use. It's perfect for first-timers or really anybody who wants to view a process visually and quickly. It's simply fantastic from a user-friendly standpoint. Keep up the great work!

I haven't used Creately's support. I don't know what to rate this to be honest. If there was an "N/A," I'd use that. I like products where I don't have to do a lot of research or studying to learn how to use the software. Creately allows me to jump in and go.

I've never had to use support, but I heard nothing but good things about their support system. But I typically don't use the support feature with any of the products I use. If I can't figure it out, then I typically move on to something easier to use. Gliffy is pretty easy, so support shouldn't be an issue.

Alternatives Considered
Creately
In terms of pricing and functionality, Creately was the clear winner at the time, although the jury is still out on Creately's new version in terms of how simple it may be to use.

Gliffy
I prefer Gliffy due to several factors:1. Price2. Ease of use3. Portability to the rest of the organisationOn the other hand, when I want really detailed work, or in other specific use cases, I need to use Lucidchart for the finer work.

Return on Investment
Creately
- Creately is less expensive and dare I say more professional looking than Visio. It looks great at a fraction of the price.
- Creately allows me to share ideas and processes with my clients. It shows that I understand their business processes, and increases their trust in my abilities to work with them.

Gliffy
- Hard to quantify actual $ROI (always is!), though qualitatively I've receive consistent feedback that live modeling with Gliffy is highly valuable for both our customers and internal team:
- a) For customers, it's live feedback to demonstrate we are listening and an opportunity to comment / add feedback to ensure we are hitting on key points
- b) For internal teams, it's a great reference to track key points on calls and ensure alignment going into the next call
- This is particularly important when discussions stall for months. Having Gliffy as a visual has helped us to win business because of the speed with which we could return to "the arena" and keep the ball moving forward.
