What do you like best about SmartDraw?

Fast & easy to learn. With my 1st project (when it was free), it was still faster than using Photoshop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SmartDraw?

I'm making kitchen layouts, and the cabinet ones don't rescale correctly when using the library. But you can imagine why... you have two rectangles that resize at the same rate. Next time, I'll just use the counters as boxes and probably dismiss placing doors on the drawings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SmartDraw solving and how is that benefiting you?

Saves me more time than the yearly cost of its usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
