Overall Satisfaction with Gliffy

I use Gliffy when I need to explain something and/or document something. This ranges from software related diagrams, like ERD, Architectural diagrams or deployment diagrams to name a few. The easy of use is great, especially because I can use it directly within Confluence.
  • easy of use
  • diagramming
  • flowcharting
  • collaboration
  • a few more options could be added
  • text placement can turn out poorly
  • diagrams
  • integration with confluence
  • collaboration
  • it has saved a lot of time due to ease of use
  • helps people understand things faster when you can make a clear drawing on the spot.
It really all comes down to ease of use. The way you can make diagrams and how Gliffy integrates with Confluence is very important for our way of working.

Yes

Did Gliffy live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Gliffy go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Gliffy again?

Yes

I really use Gliffy whenever I need something drawn. Think of explaining a certain flow to your client. Talk with developers about a structure of some algorithm. Defining your deployment cycle. Usually all my drawings are done in a timely matter and immediately connected to the right documentation page in Confluence. Gone are the days of struggling with Microsoft solutions that should do the same but are too hard.

Using Gliffy

15 - Gliffy is used by a variety of fucntions within our organisation. Software Developers, Information and Business Analysts, Product Owners and Scrum masters. Tech savvy and non-tech savvy people alike have used this to a great extend for diagramming all kind of things for working together or just documentation.
  • When something needs explaining in demos or meetings
  • flow charting
  • UML diagramming
Because of its great versatility and ease of use. From diagramming to roadmpas and even user interface wireframes. Once a draft or first version is done we like to use the Confluence integration so we can collaborate and have one single source of truth.

Evaluating Gliffy and Competitors

  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
  • Other
The most important factors are the ease of use, Confluence integration and the collaboration it offers.
We also have non-tech savvy people working and that has been going great. I think Usability is the top factor for us.
'missing' features could make for a different outcome in a new selection process, but its always weighing them out to other products.
