ConceptDraw DIAGRAM Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I used ConceptDraw DIAGRAM for entity relationship modeling and it has been great to use. I love that they have so many preconfigured symbols and it is much easier to use than Office Visio Pro. I can also use the program to open Visio files, everything works well! I have no complaints and I think their customer service is great!

I have only used it in a limited capacity for ER Diagrams. I have been the sole user of the program. The only negative is that the downloaded graphics for modeling do not show up only the titles, luckily I know what icon/image I am looking for so it was not a huge deal.

Likelihood to Recommend

Great for anything that you would use Microsoft Visio for. It is a great software and has a great team behind it. At the end of the day, it will do everything that you need it to and it looks like they are always expanding. I have been surprised by their product and plan to continue to use it in my nonprofit role. If you are hesitant, don't be, it is everything Visio is plus more.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My projects often contain an embedded processor and Assembler is my usual "go to" language of choice. Being able to easily create a flowchart is an inherent part of the design process since a good flowchart almost writes the code. I settled on using ConceptDraw after trialing quite a few other packages.

Likelihood to Recommend

Likelihood to recommend? Overall, absolutely. I'm very satisfied with ConceptDraw and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. I found it very easy to get up and running producing flow chart diagrams. I find it intuitive, flexible and it does what it says. Moreover it's very much an "alive" product with regular updates.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It is being used for diagramming system architecture and other software diagramming for conveying requirements and specifications to the development team. Also being used to put together status updates, timelines, and other diagrams used in meetings and marketing materials.

ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is well suited to quickly draw different types of unrelated diagrams. If you are looking for a tool for a specific type of diagram that might have multiple pages and need advanced drawing control, then this is not that suitable.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Documentation is critical for IT infrastructure and ConceptDraw DIAGRAM gives us a great, economical, way to put together rack diagrams, network maps, and even website wireframes for proposals. With all of the extra solutions libraries offered by ConceptDraw it's easy to create professional diagrams that can be shared in multiple formats including PDF, HTML, PowerPoint, Visio, and SVG. I have used Visio before for similar work, and, as a standard user, I find DIAGRAM to be the easier of the two to use and now they they added a cropping tool in v6 I can't think of any extra features I need for this type of program.

Likelihood to Recommend

ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is a great all-around drawing, mapping, and visualization product. We bought it as a cheaper option to Visio, but have been consistently impressed with the large set of features and capabilities. To be able to easily create complicated charts and diagrams and then be able to export them straight into HTML for our website has been one of the coolest, and most unexpected, discoveries in purchasing this software.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Since I had to develop process flow diagrams and P&ID for my undergraduate bachelor, Concept Draw is helping me to achieve great projects. A great benefit is that you will be learning how to create great diagrams intuitively with time. It's a must for any student that has to build diagrams at any point in your career. Also, Concept Draw is very useful for the creation of PowerPoint slide presentations, as well as for the development of slides, graphics, illustrations, etc.

I can't tell a lot about all the usages of CDDiagram, since my main focus is on Chemical Engineering and P&ID application, but they have an enormous variety of libraries. If you are able to find the kind of work you're looking for, I believe you're good to download it and start to improve your Diagrams.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

So, this software appears to want to be Microsoft Visio but it falls a little short. The overall software is very resource-intensive and will slow your computer down to a crawl if you are attempting to multitask. On top of this, there are many glitches in the software where graphics within the software itself do no properly draw/appear on the screen. Now, with that being said, it DOES do a fantastic job in assisting in us drawing floor plans/layouts for the restaurant and bar areas of our business. The graphics/shapes are very clean and crisp but getting them to work together is a little tricky at times.

Likelihood to Recommend

Eh, this is a kind of a sitting on the fence answer. On one hand, I can't recommend it but on the other, I can. If they fixed the resource-hogging and the weird quirky menus/actions then I would recommend it more. I can not overlook the beautiful and clean layouts and graphics that this software does spit out though...it is just a bumpy ride to get there.
