One creative application - 1,000 uses
 
Review Date: April 4, 2009
Reviewer: Barry Hackner, Evanston, IL
I was lucky to stumble on Smart Draw. Once I discovered the richness and ease of use and its depth, plus (I guess) with 100 times as many templates as Visio plus really fine detailed clip art (I know its over at least 10,000 pieces,) I was hooked. I have been using Smart draw since I think 2000 or so.

I was/am sort of a Visio expert before it was purchased by Microsoft long ago. And I loved Visio - imperfections and all. But after discovering Smart Draw (the 1st true non Microsoft application that integrated itself into all the application in Microsoft Office)I did 90% of my work with it instead of Visio. It saved me time and gave me superior flexibility.


Yes I still use Visio (Smart Draw can even import VSS files) including vs. 2007, and I have upgraded Smart Draw to every new version since. They get better and better.

Unlike Visio, SD's training and examples are fantastic as is their really fine support. AND NO I DO NOT HAVE ANY RELATIONSHIP WHATSOEVER with Smart Draw.

When they branched out with their medical extension, I checked it out. Doctors should grab it! I have several great docs as clients and GAVE them gifts of the Smart Draw Medical version. Why? Many use it for training or customizing the incredible template/clip art collection for virtually any disease. Its great for showing patients custom pictures of procedures as well as an awesome adjunct for use (my orthpod does a lot of professional peer training) for training.

Unfortunately the one thing I don't like at all about Smart Draw is that it morphed when Office 2007 came out with that d__m ribbon! I hate that ribbon. But SD 2009 is still incredibly easy to use. You can even create your own Smart Draw library from your own art with its easy import tool.

If you are wise you will buy the packaged version, rather than download it. When you download it all of the templates do not come with it. Just images. if you use a new template, frequently it must be added by downloading. A real pain. SD used to offer the ability to download all the art, butt its hard to do now. But absent those two issues, Smart Draw rocks! I understand its legal version is as good as its medical one. Lawyers and police appear to really love it.
SmartDraw 2009 for facilitators, trainers
 
Review Date: December 2, 2008
Reviewer: Juli Fellows, Austin, TX United States
I'm very pleased with the new features of SmartDraw 2009. I'm a meeting facilitator and trainer. I use SmartDraw to create all kind of graphics for my sessions and to summarize and clarify meeting discussions and decisions. I'm especially happy to have all the new, useful templates for Strategic Planning such as the force field analysis, goals grid and steps charts.

The feature that I most appreciate is the new interactivity with PowerPoint that allows me to export my SmartDraw graphics into animated PowerPoint slides. I almost always want to show audiences flow charts in step-wise fashion and this new feature makes that very easy!

I love the SmartDraw product but I really love their technical assistance. I've never had to wait in the queue more than a couple of minutes and their staff really know their stuff. Above all, I've never had one get that fake-friendly tone in their voice that implies that you're a pain and they can't wait to get you off the phone.

Good product, great service and a reasonable price! That's why SmartDraw is one of the most frequently used programs on my desktop.
Easy to use and great support!
 
Review Date: December 18, 2008
Reviewer: Jody Owen, Mesa, AZ
I was able to walk right into using the program to help me add more services to my business. This is a very user-friendly program (not like it's main competitor that is more complicated), and addresses any needs I have.

The company also sends out lots of tips and tricks, as well as information on how to market your services using the product--a great added value for the product. HIGHLY recommend it!

Review Date: December 4, 2008
Reviewer: Charles C. Fischer, Milwaukee, WI
As a small business owner who was looking to rearrange our factory layout I didn't want to wait for one of our engineers to give me a layout in CAD or "paper dolls" of the equipment to play with so I went to the web to try and find an easier solution. I tested 2 products and was extremely pleased with the ease of use and simplictic power of SmartDraw! I had my layouts done in one day - including equipment!

WHAT IS A MIND MAP?
It's an interactive, visual diagram that looks like a tree with a main topic in the middle and as many sub-topics as you like exploding out in branches. Sub-branches can have mini-branches. The branches are easy to add or move. Information in a visual format makes it more memorable, gives it context, and unveils patterns and relationships that are difficult to see in a linear document.
