### "Creating entity relation diagrams in draw.io" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *April 15, 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Integration of other tools, templates for elements, diagrams and flowcharts. There’s also support for dark mode.
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes loading the diagrams takes a couple of seconds, there’s like delay.
> 
> I’ve been using draw.io to make entity relations diagrams, to know how I’m going to design the database.

### "draw.io" — 3.0/5

> **Katie** | *December 3, 2019* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The design is intuitive and easy to play around with to figure out how to do the things we need to do. Additionally the OneDrive integration is great for us as it is a concept our users are comfortable using.
> 
> **Cons**: The biggest downfall to this software is people's resistance to change and a new thing they are not used to. Because this is web based instead of installed software based, we have seen people show unease and resistance to using the software. Having an installed version may help this transition more. Additionally the text controls within shapes are a bit limited.
> 
> For a free alternative to Visio, this is a great tool\! Our company mostly uses Visio for process diagrams that are pretty in nature and given Microsoft's licensing structure, it is a pretty hefty price to do so. While we have some general resistance to change, for the most part when people start using it they are convinced.

### "Fast, Convenient Tool" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *September 24, 2019* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I find draw.io almost effortless to utilize. Frequently I need to produce a simple diagram, layout, or the like and don't need the titanic functionality of market-leading image-manipulation software or its cousins. I can start draw.io without fanfare and export an image in one of sufficiently-varied formats for many of my needs.
> 
> **Cons**: There are some very basic things that the software doesn't to (or that I don't know how to do with the software) that either are not part of its capabilities or are not sufficiently straightforward. Ironically, simply drawing is one of the things I find the software incapable of. That said, this limitation and others don't put me off the tool, they just force sometimes annoying workarounds.
> 
> Draw.io is a comfortable tool to pick up and put down, and it gets the job done.  Often, during my workflow, I open a new tab in Chrome, type 'dr' and the url pops up, and a moment or two later I'm constructing a quick diagram-- layout of casters on a lumber cart, for example, for a maintenance spreadsheet-- then exporting the image. Everything saves to the cloud, or I download it immediately and import/embed/paste it into the target document, and continue on.

### "Draw.IO is the easiest-to-use visual flowchart tool that I could find" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *December 5, 2019* | Warehousing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: -I use Draw.IO weekly/monthly depending on as projects demand&#10;-Diagrams are easy to make, and the visuals are very appealing to my target audience&#10;-Various methods for saving and displaying or sharing the content&#10;-The free functionality will suit the vast majority of users and teams&#10;-Google Drive integration
> 
> **Cons**: -A desktop application might be nice for certain users or teams&#10;-The built-in diagrams are nice and often used, but there is a fairly limited selection for templates&#10;-A few of the print options default to printing with gridlines with no option to remove them
> 
> Draw.io is my go-to for diagramming business processes in my role as a Business Analyst. It's very useful to present a diagram rather than explain the concepts that I can easily convert to a visual in draw.io.
