Overall Satisfaction with OmniGraffle
I use OmniGraffle to map out ideas and concepts that require a flexible, large format medium for organizing content. For example, if I'm currently using OmniGraffle to map out a messaging framework for internal use. It helps me easily link ideas together and create hierarchies, which would be difficult using a presentation tool like PowerPoint or keynote. If you need a way of getting abstract ideas on paper and exploring relationships among them, OmniFocus is a great tool for that.
- Mind mapping. You can easily link ideas together and OmniFocus can automatically arrange them in a presentable format.
- Wireframing. If you're working on simple design concepts, it's a great way to show ideas to designers.
- Outlining process flows. If you're outlining a process, such as marketing automation, it's perfect.
- No support for team collaboration. I would really like to see a way to share files to iCloud so that others can access and edit.
- Better print settings. If you're trying to print a document across many pages, it's not easy to make this happen.
- No ability to pre-configure settings. For example, I have to manually change the unit of measure from "inches" to "pixels" when I create a new document, would like the ability to change that fundamentally.
- Helps speed up the process for communicating concepts.
- Allows me to think through ideas more thoroughly.
- Great for expediting idea exchanges with design teams.
