    Draw.io has the basic features that allows you to create great diagrams. It's main difference to MS Visio is that Draw.io is free and it doesn't require client installation.

    I used Visio on other occasions, and it worked fine, but it was also relatively expensive. I switched over to draw.io because it did all I needed to do but was free. I'm sure there are other programs like it, but draw.io was the first one that I came across, and I liked it, so …

    Both of them are pretty good on the same level, but draw.io felt more fluid to use than Lucidchart. Lucid had a clunky interface for our taste, and Draw.io has a better user experience with respect to usability. It's a pretty compelling reason for us to switch to Draw.io from …

    JGraph (Draw.io)
    draw.io can be more suitable for technical documentation for architectures, flow diagrams/charts, and conceptual images of an application infrastructure. However, this tool is not made for business intelligence work nor for dashboarding to monitor the technical components. From the administrative standpoint, this is not well suited for agile ceremony structures like retrospective boards or planning or even quarterly planning boards. The strength of draw.io lies strongly in being a lightweight diagramming tool.

    Pros
    JGraph (Draw.io)
    • Draw.io offers a lot of shapes and customizability of how the diagrams are laid out. We've been able to create a lot of different things with it, and have barely scratched the surface of the sorts of things that we could do.
    • Draw.io is fairly intuitive in the way that you draw shapes and connect shapes together, I was able to figure it out without a tutorial.
    • Draw.io is fast and performant for me compared with some of the alternatives.

    Cons
    JGraph (Draw.io)
    • When very elaborate diagrams are needed, it lacks the amount of tools and customization needed
    • Since this is an online tool, it can freeze and that causes you to lose that work up to that point
    • Performance can lag with very complex diagrams

    Usability
    JGraph (Draw.io)
    The UI is intuitive. It allows a new user to start diagramming almost instantly. Manipulating elements, linking them together, etc. are all easy to do. Draw.io nevertheless a broad variety of diagram templates to help get started and also of shapes to use in diagrams. Some situations can make it a bit tricky to use, such as when having multiple shapes on top of each other (e.g. shapes placed within swimlanes) but that's a minor issue.

    Support Rating
    JGraph (Draw.io)
    The support for draw.io is pretty decent, considering it is a free website. I had a question one time when I was trying to do something, so I sent an email to their support email and got a response fairly quickly with an answer to my question. They also have some excellent support tools on their support website for helping you get more familiar with their program, and I found that very helpful.

Useful when you want a diagram tool that “just works” without huge ecosystem lock-in.For organisations that value control, less vendor-dependency, this is a plus.

    Return on Investment
    JGraph (Draw.io)
    • draw.io has surely impacted our organization positively by saving some crucial time.
    • It has not really impacted much monetarily to be honest.
    • The ROI we got from draw.io is that it has made complex things clear for everyone in our organization.
