Initially I really like the fact there were so many templates and designs to choose from. Then the smoke cleared and I found myself in a Sh*tstorm... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Now that I have been using this for the past 2 months, just about everything...
1.No way to globally apply standard features like text size colors
2. It never resizes with the aspect ratio
3. youll spend more time trying to resize and add align than its worth
4.the smartshape is a joke, it allows you no benefit at all, anyone can group and copy.
5. Support is awful, they cannot help you when you need it, they dont work normal hours for a majority if their clients
6.the export is nothing more than an image pasted in the file types so you cannot modify it in anyway
7.The data shapes mean nothing 99% when you apply the just dont save
8. there is no way to apply the data in a useful way
navigation is 300 click to nothing
9. You cannot apply text in a standardized manor everything is every single click every single time
10. What I can do in 20 minute in any other app it will take me 3-4 days full days to complete a basic diagram
11. Lets not forget the documentation... It has nothing but useless information, half of the content is just how to's and that is nothing more than using the prebuilt templates that have been configured at a code level because they have functions the software doesn't offer to the user.
I could go on for days about how disappointed I am in this application. You cant even get the pages to line up and be the same size they are all different they dont place things in alignment in any of the pages.
Now as I sit here with a heaping pile of garbage that I cannot get aligned and or sized correctly over the 9 pages. I have the VP of Architecture asking me where his diagram is,that hes to present to the C-level staff, and now have to show then this... It is a severe disappointment, I would actually go out of my way to warn my colleagues to stay away from this coloring toy, I cannot even call it a tool. This is what you give someone you want to see frustrated and pi&&ed off. Thanks god for excel and my 20 minutes to build him a fail back plan... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Wondershare EdrawMax to create floorplans and design layouts for retail stores, showrooms, and residential clients. The ability to build a library of customized icons combined with the many varients makes this program supreme. I appreciate the robust software system and the detailed and accurate tools. The tutorials make it easy to keep up with new tools and AI opportunities. The times that I have needed to contact customer service they were helpful, efficient, and worked with me to make sure the issue was resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I found that some of my older floorplans (5+ years old) do not always open effectively with the newer updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
EdrawMax makes me easy to use by accessing in web, desktop and mobile. The UI interface is user friendly and helps me to create architecture diagrams for my technical use, mindmaps for brainstorming exercise and
flowcharts as well. There are samples and templates already available readily which simplifies my job and saves time. The collaborative features helps to connect with my team better. Overall it’s a great tool helping me visualize ideas quickly and work more efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Although the tools comes with great features, it can be improved with flexible export options with additional formats for easy customization. Also, managing complex diagrams can sometimes feel difficult in terms of viewing layout. Improving with intuitive layer management system would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have used eDraw for several years. I am am home remodeler and primarily use the "floor plan" feature. It's quite easy to use but there are some very frustrating things that I'll describe in the other box. Maybe if there was just a version for floor plans. I hardly use any of the other features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish there was a 3D feature in floor plans so I could turn my floor plans into nice visuals for my clients. I do not like that when you add text to a floor plan (perhaps a measurement) you create the text box and when you click away, the text gets bigger. So every single time I have to reduce the text size. I wish there was a meauring tool to do things like measure the distance between objects. Yes, I can use the dimensioning tool, but it places the measurement at the end which is typically covered up by an object. I'd like to see more updated objects.

EdrawMax is intuitive to use. It's very easy to get up and running using the App. I really like the pre-made templates that can be used for a miriad of different things from business templates and IT & Engineering to Marketing and UI/UX. The flexibility that the App allows the user is in my opinion unmatched. I use the App both for both business and personal use and is my go to App when building quick images/diagrams (I also have Adobe Illustrator but this is way easier and quicker to use). The flexibility it offers to export to a variety of different file types makes for easy workflow integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
With it offering so much there could one feels that it offers everything. There are some things, pre-built images etc. that one would think would be readily available but they are not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I purchased lifetime versions of EdrawMax, EdrawMind and PDF Element from Wondershare. EdrawMax is a great multi-purpose software from developing Mindmaps, to roadmaps for strategy to process workflows etc. While there are sometimes hiccups with some minor things (especially when a new version is installed) the technical support team is excellent and usually resolves issues VERY fast. My last interaction was with Nora, and again, she was very helpful and managed to sort the issue in two interaction. This is what I REALLY appreciate about their programs (I'm also very fond about PDF Elements!) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Templates are always a question of preference/taste. So, for professional purposes, to find a decent template, you have to scroll quite a bit, which is time-consuming. Maybe there should be a category "of professional templates", with subcategories like "roadmap", "Process flow", and " mindmap", so it is easier to identify a suitable template rapidly. But that is just a minor inconvenience and the usefulness of the programme as well as the excellent technical support outweigh this inconvenience by far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Its easier to create schematic drawings as it offer wide range of icons and shapes that can be use to represent a legend in the drawing. The ease of use and the variety of design elements make it a great tool and make the drawing much appeal to be presentend.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some icons and shapes are not updated and feel it just stuck. There is a lack of modern technology icons, which can make it harder to represent newer concepts. For example related to cybersecurity Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The platform is very easy to use and it contains a lot of ready to use templates. I find it very useful in my day-to-day works. It also contains a lot of exporting features so I can share with other users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
To be honest, I don't find anything specific I dislike. If you really want me to point out things I think it can be done better, then it must be the availability of the icons. I am working in tech and it will be very useful if some tech logos, such as Amazon web services' logos, are available on the platform etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is easier to use than Visio, and professional enough for my business. It offers lots of shapes and UI components of flow charts which enable me to draw flowcharts effortlessly to convey my ideas within my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
would be better if more trendy graphics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
EdrawMax has amazing potential, but the constant bugs and glitches outweighs it.
EdrawMax has a wide variety of graphic and such, but the majority of them will cost you premium. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
some bugs exsited, like can't place the arrow in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I'm using EdrawMax for most of my graphic presentations. I often desgin Powerpoint layouts in Edrawmax and use it for all my infographic assignments. Iget comments from instructors about how professional they look and have been asked if they can share as exemplary projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I feel the template categories are not enough, for some categories, they have not really be covered. hope they can update more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
