SimpleDiagrams Erfahrungen

Der Name ist Programm.

Vorteile:

Ich finde den Namen sehr ansprechend, weil er das ausdrückt, was man von einem Programm erwartet, welches Diagramme erstellt. Gut zu bedienen und sehr schön, dass das Programm Diagramme so darstellt, dass man nicht von Daten erschlagen wird.

Nachteile:

Also ich für meine Arbeit ist das Programm sehr angenehm zum Benutzen.

Most useful visual communication tool

Kommentare: I make a lot of visual diagrams adn simple diagram helps me be very productive a effective. I am not a graphic designer but people see my diagrams and som think I am one.

Vorteile:

It is so easy, it is so powerful. It really helps me design.

Nachteile:

Maybe it needs more premade icons It works just fine in a Mac and my Windows

Perfect to sketch cool diagrams that focus on business ideas instead of format decorations

Kommentare: It is very easy to transmit ideas, software architectures, proceses, etc. to both business and technical audience.
A (great) personal tool more than a team-collaboration environment.

Vorteile:

It is not necessary to configure dozen parameters and formatting options, so you just focus on ideas. Cool shapes for whiteboard-like diagrams. Quite stable-reliable on Mac.

Nachteile:

Can't open more than one file at a time and easily copy-paste sections from previous diagrams (templates are an option). Not really a collaboration tool, nor linked with a cloud service to share easily. Moreover, It is not widely deployed, and custom assets are neither easily shared, so sharing its files is not a common practice for me.

I Like it.... a lot!

Kommentare: The programme Simple Diagram was introduced to me by a work colleague as I needed to create some work flows. SD offers a free trial for seven days, however, after a day I was happy to download and purchase the software. Easy to download and incredibly user friendly - this is a handy tool to have if you're heavily involved with presentations and supplying work aids.

Vorteile:

User friendly

Nachteile:

The scroll up / down bar is limited - for example if your flow chart is bigger than the screen size offered you either have to reduce the size or omit information.

Does exactly what it says: It's simple to create simple-looking diagrams. Perfect!

Kommentare: It's quick and easy to create informal, accessible drawings for discussions with clients.

Vorteile:

The neat and hand-drawn appearance of the conveys informality that generates discussions with clients, implies draft status, and makes material less intimidating. There's energy in the diagrams that something more formal wouldn't have. The ease of use is absolutely terrific. Even the curve drawing tool, difficult in most other packages, it just click and drag to stretch into the shape you want -- it's so easy!

Nachteile:

There are two things main things I wish were better: The first is that if you stretch to enlarge an arrow drawing the arrow head is stretched and distorted. The big arrows are drawings and distort just like drawings. I wish they were somehow smarter. The second is that if you use a half-dozen boxes of a certain type, they're going to be identical. When you apply a certain hatch pattern to them, the pattern will be identical. This makes the drawings look a little less hand-drawn. I work around it by rotating the boxes, flipping them, or choosing similar shapes to mix it up a little.

I love this!

Kommentare: I am ideas person! Love mind mapping - not outlining!
People who have projects that are not linear - but very associative - where components are interconnecting in a way that writing paragraphs and descriptions about concepts gets too long and you lose people!
Visuals are worth a thousand words!
It helps me put the macro then the micro together and to share the concepting with others!
CUTE iconography! Only "cons" to list, if there are any - I wish there were more people and computer icons. Like different age group demographic icons: moms, older people, students, business person, and the stuff they use in daily life - car, cellphone, ipad, computer, maybe a cool set of grunge quotation mark icons, like the brackets - love those! In sales process we are showing people and the things they use - how it makes their life easier - so having that visually helps to convey the interactivity. :) That's why. Really nice boxes and grunge sketch look - awesome!! I will check out the video and other components available for the upper level subscription. Very cool. Will incorporate some of this into my Prezi presentation! Fantastic tool.

Fantastic! Love this! Makes quick work of my presentation pitches!

Kommentare: I love this product! I use it when I need to quickly present concept-ing to a group, or fellow collaborator, and just want to use photo I pull from the web, the arrows, people icons, etc. - quickly conveys the project flow and function - roles of those involved. Love this! MAKE even MORE cute icons and people ! I would purchase them asap as an upgrade package! Very well done toolkit for creatives, thank you!

Vorteile:

ease of use

Nachteile:

not much. would like more symbols for technology, people symbols - for volunteers (people raising their hands), sad people, satisfied people jumping,

WoW, I was urgently looking for something I do not know and I found this!

Kommentare: just exactly what would you in need of, an enterprise architecture / Business Plan demonstration / Business Process Automation / Operational Performance Management / Workflow / Service Catalogue .. you name it ... it just puts a lot of condensed thoughts into a simple diagram! Genius!

Vorteile:

very powerful and easy to use, can work with any svg, png, import custom libraries

Nachteile:

copy and paste (quality) / export PNG quality

A Productivity Tool With A Fun Attitude

Kommentare: SimpleDiagrams is fun to use, but it is by no means a program for passing time. If you want to create graphics that can be used in all kinds of presentations, this is the one to go for. Not only is it a quick learner's app, but it is also expandable in terms of artwork. And the support provided by the creator is second to none.

Vorteile:

Ease of use, display formatting, expandability

Nachteile:

Nothing to note.

Really good for teachers

Kommentare: Quick to learn, easy to use and fun, too. If I was still teaching, I'd still be using it. As I don't have to do presentations for myself, not so useful now.

Vorteile:

When I was a teacher I used this a lot to explain things simply. I don't use it now because I quit teaching, but for anyone doing presentations who can't find that key visual that captures what you want to say, this one's a must.

Nachteile:

Would like even more resources to tap into. It was a slow start, but there were far more when I quit than when I started.

Hand-drawn diagrams that get your ideas across

Kommentare: SD allowed me to map out my ideas in a clear and casual way that's easy to create.

Vorteile:

The name pretty much says it all. This software lets you put together simple diagrams that don't look overly polished or corporate. My brand is mostly friendly and casual so I particularly love the hand-drawn look as it's informal yet clear. So far I'm happy with what this product offers. It was easy to download and the interface is easy-to-use. It's been useful to provide visual aids for my clients and I even use it for personal projects where I need to map out my ideas. Price is reasonable too!

Nachteile:

Not much aside from having a wider selection of shapes and symbols. Possibly more export options.

Easy and simple with enough features.

Kommentare: I run training courses and write user manuals. Simple Diagrams contains all the features I need. Much easier to use than Visio or PowerPoint. Cheap enough for my business to purchase without a director's signature. Great support from the author, Daniel. Great selection of shapes by default and more libraries available quite cheaply, plus you can import your own shapes. The only downside is that the shapes are slightly cartoonish, which is perfect for schools, manuals, training, presentations, etc, but some people may find it too informal.

Vorteile:

Easy to use. Great selection of shapes and icons. Doesn't go wrong or crash.

Nachteile:

Can't have multiple files open at once, although each file can contain man diagrams in separate tabs.

Love SimpleDiagrams

Kommentare: Simple Diagrams is great. Perfect for when you want to convey a serious message with a light touch. It's easy to use and gives diagrams and presentations a fresh, engaging appearance. Only teeny-tiny niggle is some of the pop-ups are a bit blurry on my Mac. However, this hasn't stopped me using and loving SimpleDiagrams.

Vorteile:

The hand-drawn appearance of icons.

Nachteile:

Teeny niggle is blurriness of some menus (e.g. Finder) on Mac.

Fantastic software

Kommentare: I have been using SD for a long time now - since version 1. I've upgraded with every release so far. I consider it an essential part of my graphics toolkit. It is fast, lean, and has combinations of unique shapes and backgrounds that enable me to make distinctive sketches that could take more time in other software, like Visio (which I also have and like). The customer service provided by Daniel McQuillen is superb. Every question I have ever asked has been quickly responded to. My suggestions might or might not be implemented, but they are always received with respect. I can't ask for better. And the price makes this tool affordable for me. This is a piece of software I strongly recommend - without reservation.

Best fast-making, great-looking & explain-everything-on-screens tool.

Kommentare: Time saved to create simple & fast clear picture with info i wanted to share.

Vorteile:

Easy to use, customizable, stable tool. The fact that you can create your own libraries is best for me.

Nachteile:

So far I found nothing to complain about, and I am a user since the first release. I am not considering this as a constraint - but you need to accept this app as not a standalone one but you need Adobe Air.

Excellent software. Easy to use. Intuitive.

Vorteile:

Easily start doing the most important thing: create a model of your ideas that you can rapidly share and put to the test. Simple beautiful object design.

Nachteile:

Would like have automatic lines showing up to help align objects easily.

Teaxan-SimpleDiagrams

Kommentare: SimpleDiagrams is a well-designed software program based on Adobe's light-weight Air platform that can help you to quickly describe your thoughts or capture a process - visually. The paid version gives you access to additional symbol libraries, the ability to export your diagrams to XML, Basecamp and Yammer, and rights to install SimpleDiagrams on up to 3 computers. Because it is built using Adobe Air, you can run it on any Windows, Mac or Linux PC

Simple and attractive

Kommentare: Basically I was looking for a different visual approach to process diagramming and presentation, to help create an unconscious break with the past approach to processes

Vorteile:

Easy to use and interesting shapes make it different from Visio and other diagramming tools, a more "hand drawn" style. And it is inexpensive

Nachteile:

A small thing, drag with the control key pressed does not copy the shape ;) - yes, I know it is a powerpoint/.. thing, but already present muscle memory means that it would speed up diagram creation.

Fill a Great Need

Vorteile:

The software performs as expected. Easy to use. Love it. There really isn't anything on the market that allows you to produce hand-drawn style imagery as easily. I used this to illustrate my most recent book - Unicorn Tears.

Nachteile:

Better image setup and export options. The new diagram dialog box needs to be clearer and the options need to be better explained. The export diagram box also could be friendlier and higher res export options should be available.

Text orientation

Kommentare: It would be nice if the text stayed horizontal if we rotate an object. I may have missed this, but that is my initial thought. Will keep testing it.

Extends the mind, prevents the mouth getting in the way!

Kommentare: Finally, i have a way to share a "simple" idea with clients. In the fog of digital marketing, having clear diagrams has helped immensely, and in the first client side application, this software helped us land a major retainer client. I've upgraded, and its awesome!

A great gem to find

Kommentare: After downloading the trial I didn't have to think twice to buy SD, or even wait, and it stayed in the dock. Not many apps do. SD is quick, easy, intuitive, fun, versatile and the custom shape capability opens up so much potential. I have already created a couple of sets a few days in to owning the software. I look forward to working with it in earnest.

Super easy to use, straight forward functionality, stellar support!

Kommentare: Did I mention the stellar support? Within minutes I was able to begin modeling processes and web page wire diagrams. A couple years back I had an issue with running it on my MacBook, but that all works great now. I've never experienced such timely, competent support with any other software product.

A Great Resource!

Kommentare: SimpleDiagrams rocks! It is easy and fun to use, and has become an essential part of my workspace. I don't know how or why I ever lived without it! It is reasonably priced, flexible, and did I mention fun? Thank you for creating such a wonderful product!

Great product!

Kommentare: I'm not much of an artist which is why I really like this product. It's simple to use and offers an array of creative versatility to choose from. I like how the diagrams tend to stand out from other generic sketches on the web.
