First time I used to submit a drawing for my business and it took me no time to complete my drawing.

It has been a disappointing waste of time and money.

I use Firefox 88.0 (64-bit) on a MacBook Pro under OS Big Sur 11.0.1,  I have reported the problem to both Firefox and SmartDraw.

Easy to navigate and ease of use. It took me a few clicks and I was able to find all kinds of things I needed to work on my projects.

Great program to help me offer the unexpected services.

When it works it does a good job. Customer support were good when I contacted them several times in the first year.

Difficult to understand and use. After an hour I was defeated in my design and just gave up.

I' using SmartDraw for many years and my opinion is the same :An inexpensive but fantastic software for both network diagrams and any other business and other needs.

The software does need some getting used to but once you're familiar with it,  it does save a lot of time. If you're not used to a dedicated chartmaker, give this one a try.

The software offers a great assortment of templates, including charts and graphs, that I quickly develop and use for client proposals. The results are always sharp and professional looking.

I take a very good experience with this software, design electric diagrams was very easy with it.

Consume abundant resources, and its installation is so slow that it becomes tedious waiting until fully charged.

Integration with existing business processes should be easy with SmartDraw, but depending on the complexity of the business processes, this may become difficult.

Software is easy to use. The thing I like most about it is that the software run online, all you need is an internet browser and you can access the software.

SmartDraw helps visualize complex concepts in an accessible way.

Without even this basic feature, it's just an utterly useless piece of software to me. After seeing this software, though, I realise why many estate agent's floorplans are so poor.

SmartDraw - Not quite a Visio replacement-- but pretty close.

We found the best format for our organization chart in SmartDraw. Easy to use and design the chart that you want.

SmartDraw is a software with potential and it's amazing the plenty of things you can make with this.

Bugs are not a thing that customer service seems to be allowed to talk about, which is unfortunate, given how full of bugs this software is.

Further, it constantly just stops and closes itself - and dumps all of your work during that session, even if you have been saving.

There are lots of templates to start with, which makes it a lot easier to get started with this software. I like the integration with popular tools such as Trello and Jira.

Product was pretty good to use as a beginner. Not over stuffed with functions.

Limited symbol options specific to interior design. If you use too many JPEG images within the file the system struggles to convert to PDF.

This software would be great if it worked and if customer support wasn't abysmal.

Can create your mind maps and complex flowchart of any kind with ease. Using it on office desktop and well integrated with Microsoft office suit.

One of the main advantages and attractions of SmartDraw is its intuitive and clean design, with multiple templates to be used in almost all types of diagrams and designs.

It is a bit boring for all that it does. The layout would be better if I had the whole screen and the options to drag and drop were at the top.

I thin the licence fee is slightly steep compared for other types of online editor tools and so think this makes it difficult to justify.

Smartdraw has made it easy for me to map out a future website and landing pages. Will use it again and again.

It has most of the power of Visio with some added discovery things so if one is starting without the requirement of Visio integration, its a solid, but pricy tool.

I liked the price and the easy  project management Tool Set.

A little overwhelming at first, but super easy to navigate after the first go-around. Essentially super quick and easy to use.

I have had only positive experiences with the use of Smart Draw.

Sad to say this is the worst CAD Package I have ever experienced.

Easily the most frustrating software that I have to use. I am unfortunately not aware of any other options in that price range that have the simplicity of interface and the features I need.

Helpful Smart Panel feature. Good integration options.

Effortless adoption ability and comfortable for making your designs. Numbers of functionalities that makes  your work easier.

So nice to have that event stream and subscriptions. And it's very easy to share your findings with colleagues.

Metric types takes time to understand. Sometimes it is very difficult to understand the graph report and it is bit technical to use.

It is friendly user.interface, it has very good customer support. It allows create flexible dashboards.

Excellent cloud monitoring solution which gives good visibility across multiple cloud applications.

Pricing can get confusing as there are multiple tiers per feature set.

It's really helpful to monitor your development and production environment under one platform provided you know how to configure it effectively.

It is an excellent tool for the use case that I have for Datadog.

Good customer service easy integration to the platform for its use and do not need a lot of work to understand it easy to configure and very personalized.

API and documentation are top notch and we were able to build integrations quite easily.

It has pretty robust support for Windows machines and the custom metrics support is great, so you can track anything you'd like.

It also helps to keep everything you need to diagnose issues in 1 place. Making for a clear end to end vision.

Datadog is an amazing cloud monitoring solution that provides great insight and alerting for our platform.

They provide great features for cloud monitoring and compatible with most of the monitors. UI is fast and support team is very responsive.

Although the initial learning curve of utilizing Datadog's plethora of data analytics tools is steep, it's well worth the effort and price as there is much value to the metrics Datadog provides.

The notebook feature is quite useful too, if you are not ready to spend much on dashboards. Overall, nice all in one solution to capture logs from cloud and analyze them.

Dashboards are super customizable and refreshing time is very quick. Templates save you lot of time.

Datadog is useful for visualizing and monitoring your cloud applications.

Datadog is easy to use and is very powerful. Used in a variety of ways to track metrics across apps.

An excellent monitoring service packed with features at a very affordable price.

Huge number of connectors, usable dashboards and reporting, quite nice and fast search in logs which is good for incident/security incident investigation.

Some of the detailed views of where bottlenecks are troubling a system can be lacking. Something we've seen a lag getting data refreshed in the dashboards.

The ability to filter and monitor data is definitely the highlight for me.

I truly enjoy the integrations that datadog provides. It allows us to view more metrics that are more of a deep dive into specific applications.

Not have rate limiter to control some bad metrics. Not have a mobile app, in some case can be faster  to get some alerts.

Being able to combine all of our analytics tools in one place makes it easy to find the right information to investigate, monitor, and resolve operational issues quickly.

Datadog is easy to use, you can have custom and multiple dashboard, what is nice to control your environment/network.

Could have a mobile app so we can have mobile notifications, It could be hard to integration with others tools.

Alerts regarding errors. Excellent customer support.

I noticed that this monitoring system is very flexible, you can track pretty much any metric, which is great. Great integration with many services like AWS, Chef, Couchbase, JVM, HAProxy, MySQL etc.

DataDog is what we recommend and implement for our clients, and provides more useful features than Sensu.
