Overall Satisfaction with OmniGraffle

I use OmniGraffle from time to time when creating user flows and basic journey maps. It is not a required tool at my company or in my department.
  • Diagram creation - It's easy to make and organize various boxes.
  • Wireframing - The use of guides helps keep everything aligned. The multiple pages helps keep all the screens in a project organized.
  • Brainstorming - It's possible to quickly draw up a digital representation of a pathway or user journey to share with my team.
  • The interface could be more beautiful.
  • OmniGraffle isn't quite as intuitive or beginner-friendly as some other design tools (e.g., Sketch 3).
  • n/a - I don't use OmniGraffle as part of my official, client-facing work. I just use it internally.
  • Sketch 3, Balsamic and Hype
My instructor at General Assembly taught us how to us OmniGraffle, so I've been familiar with it.
If you're looking to do rough wireframing or diagramming, this is a great tool for you!

If you're looking to create really beautiful deliverables, this probably isn't the best tool for the job.
