### "One of the Best Apps to create Diagrams, flowcharts, org charts, and layouts"

December 4, 2018

5.0

Pros

The ease of use of this app due to the intuitiveness is the best feature. It's very easy to convert your thoughts to a presentable form/diagram easily.

Cons

Actually nothing. May be there are a lot of features that I do not use currently. But havent found anythign that I dislike yet.

### "Great tool to quickly create content maps, site maps and more"

November 17, 2018

5.0

Pros

The quick drag and drop shapes make creating site maps, user flows, content maps, user flows, etc. The familiarity of the shapes, line tools, arrows, etc. can make quick work of projects that would take much longer in a program such as Illustrator.

Cons

If more sharing with team features and collaborative notes were added, it would definitely add even more to the app. It's great for building site maps quickly!

### "Versatile and easy, provides all your diagram-making needs"

August 26, 2018

4.0

Pros

OmniGraffle Pro is a diagram making software that enables you to create different types of diagrams, graphs or model. Possibilities for diagram making are endless. There are many graph needed for our company's clients' websites, which I made through OmniGraffle Pro. The layouts are almost limitless with lots of different graphs, diagrams, and models which are highly modifiable depending on my own measurements.

Cons

The unavailability in different operating system is a downside especially that my workplace desktop operated on windows.

### "Great app to quickly mock up any project"

March 30, 2019

5.0

Pros

It is quite easy to work with predefined objects. Whether you want to make a website wireframe or a mobile app UI, you can quickly set the elements and reuse them. I’ve used it even to build my office setup, once I built the objects representing the furniture I could make multiple proposals in no time, and see if everything fit.

Cons

It’s not very easy to make stencils from scratch, but not impossible.

### "Have no fear... OmniGraffle is here! (Don't even think of looking at Illustrator.)"

March 6, 2018

5.0

Pros

For most "business"-related or academic tasks, you don't need Illustrator to make a quick schematic. It'd be overkill. And for most people, learning Illustrator is hard. To the contrary, OmniGraffle is specifically designed for making professional-looking, crisp vector graphics in a very intuitive and effortless way. Like other Omni Group products (e.g., the excellent OmniFocus task management software), OmniGraffle is robust and packed with features. But it's also user-friendly and easy to understand and use. It's the perfect choice for technical schematics, circuit diagrams, org charts, flowcharts, wireframe diagrams, etc.

Cons

I wish there were more high-quality free stencils in the Stencil Town marketplace. Most of the nice ones cost some money. This doesn't detract from the software at all -- you can create whatever you want from scratch -- but if you'd like to jump ahead and use some nice "clipart-style" vector graphics, you might end up spending a few bucks like I did!

### "One of the best diagram tools I've used. "

December 3, 2019

5.0

I've been using omnigraffle to design my business flow process charts including software implementation and project management. Every time I require any kind of process flow charts I design them with omnigraffle.

Pros

You can design any kind of diagrams, charts, etc. You can export them to different type of formats that make it easier to visualize and organize.

Cons

I am a mac user, never had any problems or complains with it. Works just fine with everything i need.

### "Solid Tool for Various Visualizations"

January 16, 2020

5.0

Pros

Omnigraffle is an easy to use tool with a wide variety of available stencils to help you rapidly create visualizations. It also has a ton export format options.

Cons

Converting Vizio files for use almost always results in display issues. There are a few unusual hot keys that take some time to get used to.

### "Not an easy transition from the competing product"

January 19, 2019

4.0

I have not been impressed. Costly, doesn't allow for an easy transition from Visio. Not user friendly in my opinion.

Pros

It has the features of Visio (supposedly)

Cons

It is a very hard transition from Visio, it does not work the same way.

### "OmniGraffle - Better Than Visio"

September 19, 2018

5.0

This is an outstanding piece of software for creating diagrams. On the Mac there is nothing better.

Pros

If you are a Mac User and need something to replace Visio, or just need a good diagraming program I would highly recommend OmniGraffle. It is easy to use, has a great set of features, and allows you to create powerful documents. It can't be beat.

Cons

I would love to see them offer this solution on Windows. I think there is a great opportunity there.

### "Good system for drawing on the Mac"

January 21, 2019

5.0

Pros

Easy to draw quick diagrams on the Mac - flowcharts too.

Cons

Little hard to figure this out and learn exactly how the system worked - reminds me of Photoshop in that way.

### "Full featured"

November 25, 2015

4.0

After using Microsoft Visio for years, it was not easy to get going with a similar diagramming app in Mac. However we found OmniGraffle the best in its class with an intuitive user interface and capability to import / export multiple formats. You will find it very easy to create or import your own stencils and start creating professional looking diagrams instantly.

Pros

\- Easy to use - Intuitive (yet powerful) user interface - Ability to create custom stencils easily

Cons

\- Limited support for complex SVG files - Limited support for visio documents and stencils - Limited set of built-in stencils

### "Great Design Software for those on a budget"

May 18, 2021

5.0

This was recommended to me by a peer in the same field as me and it has changed our process for doing stage plots for all of our upcoming productions.

Pros

This is a great program because its cost is well below what some of the larger and more feature packed programs offer. This one is not lacking on features thought. I get everything I need at a fraction of the cost.

Cons

I don't really have any issues with the software. The biggest issue I have found is you need a large monitor to make it easier to work on your project.

### "Reasonably good diagramming tool"

July 16, 2021

4.0

Overall the experience was good but could have been even better if the tool is more easy to work with and had more cross compatibility.

Pros

Liked OmniGraffle's integration capability with Jira and also the import / export features that is very helpful. Templates available with it were handy and aided in quick diagram creation.

Cons

Finding the features needed was relatively hard and also cross compatibility of the diagrams created within this platform was not great.

Switched from

[Visio](https://www.capterra.com/p/201133/Visio/)

The other tool was taken out of enterprise.

### "Block Diagram Creation"

March 16, 2020

4.0

Overall, omnigraffle did exactly what it was supposed to do and did it well.

Pros

Omnigraffle is fantastic alternative to Visio for use on MacOS. It makes creating block diagrams of complex systems fairly easy. The interface is clean and the software was reliable.

Cons

At times, I found it hard to customize existing shapes or create new custom shapes. This was not really a deal breaker, just a mild annoyance.

### "A slick diagramming tool for easy visualizations"

February 22, 2019

4.0

We mainly use Omnigraffle to diagram workflows and content maps, and it has been a very useful tool in the short time that we've been using it!

Pros

For me, I like that the program can export your designs in a number of formats (PDF, JPEG, etc).

Cons

I wish it had the ability to allow for team collaboration. To be able to have multiple people edit the same file would be nice to have.

### "Wireframes have never been easier"

December 5, 2017

5.0

Pros

1) The tools is so stripped down and simple you can figure it out in an afternoon 2) And yet, there is nothing stopping you from making clean and exact wireframes 3) It is so functional yet simple, I use it in place of Adobe Illustrator when making some graphics 4) There is a trial, use it

Cons

There is a lot of clicking around for some basic functions I use over and over again. I wish the shortcut options were a little clearer.
