### "One stop for making ERDs"

April 18, 2019

5.0

Pros

I had an assignment to make some ER Diagrams, this drastically reduced my work. Only a few clicks and I was good to go. I like the way the interface is designed, it offers a really nice UX (User Experience)

Cons

Loading the page takes a little bit long, making it faster would make the experience all the more better, but it is not a big problem.

### "Good Diagram Tool for Collaboration"

June 26, 2018

4.0

Pros

Creately is a good tool for creating diagrams and flow charts. It's also a good value tool for collaborating in real time if you work heavily depends on it.

Creately is pretty robust, but that makes the user interface a little congested. It's not hard to navigate and get past that, though.

### "Love Creately for Software Flow!"

March 28, 2019

5.0

Pros

The thing I like most is the ease of customization. You can start with a blank slate and build whatever you want--different shapes, colors, and in any format you want. My software flow doesn't have to fit into a cookie cutter diagram.

Cons

Sometimes the software fights me back. It will try to guess how I want an arrow to go and then won't allow me to modify it. In turn, I sometimes have to delete it altogether and start again.

May 12, 2026

Hi, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

### "Automatic renewal an issue"

May 10, 2022

2.0

Average.

Pros

It gave me the ability to diagram concepts.

Cons

I was not using this enough to justify the yearly price. Unfortunately, I forgot about my automatic renewal and wanted to immediately get a refund. They told me that this runs contrary to the company refund policy. Beware automatic renewals. Not worth it.

### "Creately Review"

March 28, 2019

4.0

Pros

Creately is easy to use and manage, offering several features and tools for its users to access. I am particularly familiar with its blank template for website mockups, and am happy with its functionality. The icons, shapes, and colors of each feature is visually appealing and easy to find. Overall, my experience with Creately was positive.

Cons

I was often confused about how to save a document. Whenever I tried to save, it would save as, and would often replace the previous version, which I did not know how to access. Sharing the document was also a bit of a hassle.

April 22, 2020

Pros

It is a nice mapping software that can be used for workflows as well as organizational charts

Cons

It is very buggy and doesn't seem to work properly. I expected it to at least function at a baseline, but this product is almost unusable! They also don't have even chat support, which seems like something a SaaS company should have.
