We use CDD in our small business for 2 main areas:
1) Planning and visualizing kitchen and water filtration installation
2) Process visualization in BPMN standard
For both CCD is a very useful and easy to use programm. Since the last upgrade we do much more enjoy the working, as many bugs have been fixed to the workflow is much smoother. We consider the software as easy to learn and to use. All of our team members who came either from graphics or industrial design find it easy to jump in on working.

We sill find it sometimes hard to work with the software as many of the common short keys are different or do not exist. As standard we see the normal short keys of mac and Adobe. For example zoom you wanna have at cmd+ "+" So sometimes the software feels a bit like a windows software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be interesting to see even more integration options with MS Excel - it's possible to play with data in cells but I hope it will be more flexible soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

From my point of view it seems to me that this is an acceptable software mainly because it has a very nice interface and draws much attention from graphic designers, on the other hand, the accessories that the ConceptDraw PRO interface has are interesting. The tools and options that this software has are good, useful and professional, making all the projects I do very formal, decent and incredible.
Another point that I like a lot about this software is the great variety of templates that has this software, in addition, templates are so beautiful that it is so difficult to choose one.
I really like that through this software we can create the slides in a very easy and fast way but the best thing about this is that the slides are very nice and give a very good impression. For the exponents of the slides (which are about the future work of the companies or other topics of interest) it is easier to speak in public because the slides are very easy to handle.

At the moment that you are doing a project (of any scope or type) it is usually somewhat complicated to find the function that you need to apply to that project, that is, the tools and options are disorganized and I do not like that.
I can also add here that to be able to handle this software you need to have knowledge in the area. To me it is very easy to use this software but the beginners of the company not much, they should investigate too much about ConceptDraw PRO in order to develop it well.
Finally, it has a defect when it comes to fixing any type of graphic and that is very frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- ConceptDraw Diagram consist of a large number of diagrammatic applications which support modelling requirements for different context, systems and settings. It is multi-functional, comprises multiple features, supports collaboration among teams, posses import and export capabilities and integrates with a gamut of widely used software and applications. ConceptDraw Diagrams brings all diagrammatic solutions into a portfolio in a pick and install format. This provides a sense of flexibility to switch between applications without affecting the model under construction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have used ConceptDraw Diagram for several weeks and I am yet to identify any flaws yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI is user-friendly, and you can quickly sketch up diagrams for easy use on a whim. I use it for last-minute presentation boards (diagrams are always the last thing I do, so I save it for the 11th hour), and it always comes out comprehensible for the audience.

It's missing a few features, when compared to Microsoft Visio, but the basic functionality that it does have works great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This is a fantastic tool. Unequivocal. In addition to the native features Conceptdraw offers "Solutions" Some of these come pre-packaged with the program while others are available to be imported via cloud into ConceptDraw. There is a large collection of free options and there are also reasonably priced paid Solutions. If you have a specific project that you are working on, you can easily retrieve these from the ConceptDraw Store. The "Store" is an app you can install with its own interface or you can use their website for purchases. The store app is also where you retrieve system updates. I think a lot of users start with programs like Visio and ConceptDraw. I did use Visio and a few other tools but I started using ConceptDraw after first using ConceptDraw Mindmap. These tools can be used together and with CD Project. ConceptDraw can be used to supplement MindMap where you want an end point with much greater detail. In the same way it can be used for a reference point in Projects. While you use this for planning out physical space, information modeling etc, it can also be useful with clients and presentations. While it is difficult to replace Keynote (powerpoint) presentations, this is a great option to either supplement or in some specific cases, use as an alternative.

I would really like to be able to import structured data such as from Numbers/Excel or even csv. Even a text list with markup or even just text with tabs or returns. I believe this is an area where ConceptDraw has a future and if AI could be developed with it that would make it exponentially more powerful. For example: using one of the existing "Solutions" importing data into such a solution using intelligent associations with structure and graphics. Minor pet peeve is that in the Store the price is not listed on paid solutions. You have to click the "Buy" button to go to their website to see the price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
ConceptDraw DIAGRAM works very well as a drafting software in designing simple industrial products. It is user friendly and easy to handle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some functions of the software is not that convenient. For example, if I want to edit part of a text paragraph (not the whole paragraph), I have to right-click, go to "object" and choose "edit text", which is time-consuming when I have to edit multiple texts in the drawing.

User friendly powerful tool supported by a wide range of business graphics. Perfect tool to assist in deploying ideas and processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
No specific dislikes, its just the more time one spends using the tool the more it becomes comfortable and easy to use specially that interactive support is always available and fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Project is actually very similar to Microsoft Project, but CS Odessa have their InGyre system which allows the different tools to work together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I hope to see even more options to work with MS Excel spreadsheets and maybe new views of projects Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
