I use EDrawMax for a wide variety of needs from designing and describing a new accounting and business operations system for the contractors to use, to designing marketing material for the graphic productions department to use.

EDrawMax is totally amazing. I just finished an intense 10 day long rush job working 14 hr days with EdrawMax to put the company in a new, fast growth direction. Almost everything was sublimely superb with the app. It is deceptively powerful. In fact, it’s easy to under estimate!! It does not look like a cross between a Hummer and a Lamborghini, but it is a workhorse and an artist's treasure. I got stuff done so fast it shocked me. With no training and little prior experience with this app, I was able to do almost everything I needed. There are instructional videos for me to watch and that will help to sharpen the ax.

I think the programmers are really great. Super talented and smart, and the app development team has true geniuses at work. It’s fun to use this. I’m blown away by how many features from other productivity apps are woven into this. I am very productive because it’s built on mainstream functions and cues which are already in my head! The final ace in the hole is that its continuing to be refined and improved!

Steve Jobs would be very pleased with these guys.
  • Flow charting
  • Depict a complex process so its easily understood
  • Its structure and organization are very similar to how mainstream apps work.
  • Its huge and expandable feature set blows away all other apps
  • I want the right tools because my time is precious. This is the right choice by far.
  • I have had trouble printing over sized images on a single page. I succeeded but it needs polish
  • Some fonts have format issues. So, use a different font or a different size.
  • I rushed in; had no time to listen to their instructional videos. I'll go back and watch these then probably double my productivity
  • I can't yet make a new shape library, but it's due to my lack of know-how.
I have used over a dozen apps of this sort across 50 years of computing. None are even close to being as good!!
  • versatile
  • easy to use
  • low cost (lifetime)
  • I am using it to guide us into a huge business growth opportunity where none of a dozen similar apps I have used before could meet our needs so well and so quickly
  • Our IT costs will be much lower as a result of how easily and clearly I can explain our needs with this tool, not just to the developers, but to the users, a well. Then, the Marketing folks can take the process diagrams and use them for new marketing material.
Too many apps to list. 50 years of computing as a C-level exec. I am not a specialist at this. I am a generalist. Having an app that makes a generalist look like a specialist is really a cool. I can't image what a true specialist/graphic artist/engineer/designer could do. My, oh my.
Quick responses every time
did not know it is available.
Yes
yes
Each of the 4 times I contacted them.
It is super easy to use because it works like the mainstream apps. Almost everything's familiar and easy to access
  • finding shapes
  • Getting things done quickly
  • Huge library of resources. I could make a lot of money using this if it was my job to do so. I wear many hats now; have to do many other things, too.
  • Anything difficult now is due to my newness to using the app
  • I jumped in and did not take time to listen to their instructional videos
  • I have not yet found the attributes icon.

We operate in the field of modular housing and construction. Wondershare EdrawMax helps us to visualize the arrangement of the interior of residential containers or our small houses. Wide range of templates and ready to use icons of equipment are extremely useful in the decision process made by our Clients.
  • Useful templates
  • Variety of icons
  • User friendly
  • Adding foreign languages or at least a possibility to add a diacritical marks by a user
  • Mirror reflection of the drawing would be a very useful tool
  • Changing the angle of the drawing does not work well with dimensioning.
Great tool for space allocation plan, presentations and diagrams. There are some inconveniencec in using it in more elaborate projects.
  • Creating personal templates
  • Creating personal libraries
  • Tutorials
  • Great custom support
  • Visualization of the interior - critical in selling the product
  • Time saver in a selling process
  • Satisfied customers
Needed to contact the support team as I had lost license details. Their response was fast, professional and what's more, very helpful. All the needed data was sent to me and I was able to reinstall Wondershare EdrawMax again.
Do not have a premium support as I've not been aware of such a thing, probably because someone else in the company has purchased EdrawMax license.
One does not acknowledge or appreciate the support team of the given product unless something unexpected happens. The license details have been lost in our company and we were unable to download the full version to a new computer. I send the email asking for help and there was a quick, affable and professional response. You cannot ask for more.
