Simulation-based Visio Plug-In for organizations that embrace continuous improvement.
As a computer engineer , I face so many situations that I have to visualise using different models. Edraw max provides a great collection of models represented in a good quality.
The inability to deploy this on multiple computers that I own and the price.
This is an affordable design software that is especially helpful for creating line drawings of various types of technical systems. It is among the most cost effective and is fairly widely accepted.
Some of the icons are not scaled well compared to other icons. Sometimes the lines have trouble snapping to the right locations or randomly disconnect.
I love how it is so easy to use and the customer service is so helpful. I am learning new things to do with it all the time.
It is necessary to draw several diagrams. But only money and time are wasted.
It allows me to create great floorplans with ease and great network layouts, including server rack layouts, for my work.
Trying to scale the drawing is sometimes confusing. Would prefer the option of rescaling as you draw.
For more advanced users, access to the coding panel provides more flexibility to model complex routings and events. Its the perfect mix of power and ease to model processes quickly and effectively.
Error messages are a bit vague at times. User manual is a bit hard to interpret sometimes.
Another key strength is the ability of the model to be used in more sophisticated ways as the ability of the modeler improves.
The SW is occasionally buggy and unstable especially with the transition to 2019. This is not a deal-breaker for development, but is a source of minor frustration and hindrance.
Features like these really help the user. The fact that it also takes advantage of third party software, i.e. Excel and Visio is also very important to the user.
I always end up deleting the default values. What the software does internally, within an activity block, is not always transparent.
The ability to download any model into Excel, to be able to manipulate certain variables and then to be able to upload those changes back into the model is powerful.
Finally, although I have not encountered this problem myself, I do know that shift carryover was an issue for sometime.
John: Hi, my name is John. I'm a quality manager at a company that works in safety materials and I would rate Wondershare EdrawMax a five out of five. So click below for more reviews like this. I was looking at other software that was more cloud-based. I found a website called Postermywall.com. I'm mostly familiar with PDF exchange editor. I really focused on Wondershare EdrawMax more than anything because I felt that it was more user-friendly than any of the other products that I had reviewed. I've chosen Wondershare EdrawMax and I've stayed with it since because EdrawMax has a very intuitive design in my opinion, and I feel like it has a lot of excellent components that make it very user-friendly. I also really love the ready-made templates that it has. I thought that it was really easy to get on the laptops that my team was going to use with this program. They were able to use the flow charts and diagrams that we were looking for, for our specific purposes in quality control. I would say that definitely you try out the product before you buy it. Look at the trial that they offer so that you can go through the different templates and templates for the flow charts and diagrams that they offered for you, because they may or may not fit the needs that you have for your specific company.
