SimpleDiagrams

"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.

"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.

"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.
