Comments and Reviews

   
Comment summary: Creately is praised for its ease of use, visual appeal, and usefulness in creating diagrams such as flowcharts and mind maps. Users appreciate its affordability and vast array of templates. However, some users report issues, including sound quality in tutorials, text display problems in certain browsers, saving errors despite subscriptions, and installation difficulties on some systems. The free plan is seen as restrictive and the desktop version as commercial. There's criticism for relying on outdated technology like Flash and poor customer support.

A powerful tool to draw diagrams at a very affordable prices. If you ever tried diagramming with Visio you'll be surprised at the ease of use of Creately. I love the fact that they provide an easy way to created and connect the next object. Makes diagramming fast and helps not to break the process. Lovely colors , hundreds of templates are few more things I love about the tool. I hope they include a Visio import to make it truly remarkable.

Tried to sign in using Google which fails. Tried to demo and it asks for flash! It's 2018! Flash has been dead for a decade!

It seems https://creately.com now supports automated entity-relationship (ER) diagram generation, making database design faster and more efficient.

This one I mentioned - https://creately.com/lp/er-diagram-tool-online/

The "free" plan is a lie, the program is mostly a premium with a very limited free trial. The storage limit counts every object that you made even if you delete it, so you will inevitably run out of space and be forced to upgrade. I made 2 small E/R diagrams and it locked me out. The support page also specifies you cannot free space because it will still count. Also their customer support is unreachable and the editor is very slow.

Easy and efficient tool when making mind maps, flowcharts, and even Venn diagrams.

A free, easy to use tool to create flowcharts. Make sure to signup if you're using the tool without registering.
