Creately vs. MockFlow

Creately sells itself as software specializing in a wide variety of areas, which is true in some cases. Visualizing and creating marketing processes, research, user flows, and general flowcharts is an extremely powerful tool. However, in other areas, such as Human Resources, UI/UX prototyping, and Wireframe design, it leaves a little to be desired compared to the competition.

MockFlow is a great tool for low-fidelity wireframing for quick validation & contextualization of UX & UI hypotheses. It is not a substitute for full-fledged designing tools such as Figma or Adobe XD.

• Helps to create wonderful charts.
• Helps co-worker to work on a similar project.
• It allows importing multiple templates.

Incentivized

• Ease of use. The UX is great.
• A decent number of pre-built UI elements such as browser frames, dropdowns, buttons, etc.
• Good prototyping ability. We can create decent prototypes using links.
• Collaborating capability for multiple members in a team.
• Ease of exporting the wires in different formats.

Incentivized

• Can add more tutorials to guide the users in the tool
• Tools lags sometimes when a diagram with lot of data is loaded
• It also gets stuck sometime when an Undo functionality is used

Incentivized

• Grouping the similar elements together to further enhance the UX.
• Detailing the wires is still clumsy.
• Monochromatic UI can be improved a bit.
• Icon availability is limited.
• More collaboration features.
• Grouping of elements in the wires is cumbersome.

Easy UI & good UX makes the usability very convenient.

It definitely could be better, but it may also depend on the type of license you are subscribing to.

Creately is a more intuitive solution and has better looking elements, shapes etc.

Figma is a high-fidelity designing tool and provides too many features which would be overkill if we are looking for basic prototyping. Also, if you are not a designer and just want to create basic wires or prototypes as a Business Analyst or Product Manager, MockFlow would suffice your needs. But if you are focusing on pixel-perfect designs then I would suggest going for Figma. The ease of usability with MockFlow is very convenient as there would be a steep learning curve for Figma. Balsamiq is very similar to MockFlow but the wires created in it look a bit sketchy & clumsy.

Incentivized

• We were able to save a lot of time in visualizing strategic processes.
• We saved meeting time by simply showing our workflows and keeping our coworkers in the loop.

Incentivized

• Low turnaround time for creating wireframes resulting in aligning the team on a single path.
• Validating UX & UI hypothesis quickly leading to less rework & quicker results
• Saving to & fro time with parallel collaboration feature.
