2D Graphic Design Software

While Miro is powerful, it does have some frustrating aspects. The learning curve can be steep for new users - I've seen team members get overwhelmed by all the features and toolbars initially. It's like handing someone the controls to an airplane cockpit without proper training.

One significant limitation that really bugs me is the lack of free-flowing, natural drawing capabilities like what you find in Excalidraw. When you're trying to quickly sketch out an idea, Miro's drawing tools feel somewhat rigid and mechanical. Sometimes you just want to make a quick, organic-looking flowchart without fighting with perfectly straight lines and precise shapes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

These solutions have directly benefited us through:

Reduced project completion times

More engaged remote team members

Clearer client communications

Better documentation retention

More efficient decision-making processes

Improved cross-functional collaboration Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While LucidCharts is fit for purpose and due to its "rigidity" required for technology teams, LucidSpark does not have the easy feel and flexibility of Miro for collaborative whiteboarding. Also more importantly, LucidSpark doesn't do a good job importing Miro boards with parts of board missing, lines crooked, artefacts not properly imported. For large Miro boards, it probably manages to import only about 70% of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our business already uses LucidCharts so decided to move from Miro to LucidSpark, so we are on one platform suite for all. LucidCharts have been used extensively by the technology team. So for team collaboration we are just in the middle of transitioning from Miro to LucidSpark. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'd like to see a way to open multiple documents at once. Also, it would be great to make the brush size larger than the current limit. This is configured as a percentage, not a pixel size, so I don't know if this is an absolute or relative value in relation to the document size. It would also be nice to have a few more keyboard shortcuts similar to Photoshop, but perhaps I can change those in the preferences.

Keep up the great work, and there are still many features yet to explore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can create realistic oil paintings which have a very unique and classic look, both for illustration work and fine art prints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't use most of the 3d features due to the graphics power it consumes. when using these features i always get hangups on the project and most of the time it just altogether crashes. i dont even attempt the AI tools they integrated because of that reason;as cool as it looks, most of the time ai tools just create more frustration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the problem its solving is that knowing it got me a decent job in the graphic design field and now i can confidently make anything my heart desires when it comes to vector art. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing bothers me, everything is better Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it helps me to marge more projects together, it supports many fields and has unlimited mind open source to do a lot of things make my project nicely, so if you still a student you can create many project in a quick time, and when you will start it'll see automatically guide step to mention you Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downsides are the learning curve and the time to create the animations. It's not very intuitive, so this causes me to have to spend more time than I would using PowerPoint. I would like to see an upgrade to the animation tool to apply settings to speed up the time it takes to create one animation slide and less fingering, which can tire out the hands. I am hoping with time, that it will become easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am still learning to use SketchWow. My plan is to eventually us this for my weekly presentations that I create as a teacher/trainer and as a content creator for social media posts and video presentations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Creately is generally very user-friendly, I sometimes find the loading times to be a bit slow, especially with larger projects Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Creately addresses the challenge of creating complex diagrams and visualizations quickly and efficiently. It simplifies the process with its user-friendly interface and extensive library of templates and shapes. This has greatly benefited me by saving time and improving the clarity of my presentations and project plans. Additionally, the real-time collaboration feature has enhanced teamwork, allowing my colleagues and I to work together seamlessly, regardless of our locations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This might take longer for those who are not used to design tools as they will need to figure out all the features. Besides, projects with a lot of nodes may be rather lagging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thanks to SVGator other apps for creating animations in a browser are going back in time. It is a complete one stop solution for animating any logos, icons or illustrations in the least possible time. Very useful especially for motion and graphic designers as it combines the elegance and the power of the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

nothing really, it's a great product and updated reasonably regularly. It can be annoying if you buy from Serif directly (say for a beta) and then they release it o the app store and there's no way to get the App Store version without purchasing again Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great software, works well, supports lots of formats both for importing and exporting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Competing products are much more expensive and Affinity Designer is a really good replacement. I use it for all vector work and it performs really well. Serif are also very helpful in the support forums when there are problems. I have a laser engraver and it works really well for producing artwork that cuts/engraves really well. Important to group the correct objects together and use layers to the correct paths are followed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Plan pricing is a bit high as compared to other apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Snappa is helping in creating any type of graphic online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing as such, but would like to see more AI features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Plasfy is a great tool for creating designs. It provides a starting point for developing designs, and the extensive range of design catalogue is sufficient for regular needs. The AI background remover is top-notch and does an excellent job. Supporting multiple export options for different projects and support for external APIs makes Plasfy more flexible. While Plasfy has some areas for improvement, the team is responsive to feedback and I expect they will address these in version 2.0. Even some of them are being are notified as part of the roadmap.

The integration of Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel (in my case Sheets) was slightly challenging to get correct. There are some small details in headings and formatting of data to get right to make sure the synchronization works efficiently, that if ignored, make it so the data does not show up properly. Once everything is set up right, then it works quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maptive could be applied in nearly every case where data is cataloged by some location, but in my case it displayed my data throughout the Houston Metropolitan Area for a research project on electric vehicle charge anxiety. Maptive allowed me to take thousands of cells of data and compile it into a series of maps that showed electric vehicle distributions by zip code and Tesla Supercharging Stations with heat maps to create density maps. Undoubtedly the maps it produced made the research project much more manageable to read through from an outsider's perspective and demonstrated the data in a way that everyone should be able to understand. My only regret is that I didn't have the time and resources to do more with Maptive for this specific research project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside I have found is that at times the chrome browser often does not log me into the right space and I need to manually change it or the URL itself. 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.

While handling complex designs on large files, Sketch can slow down, specially on older hardware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It allows designers to create interactive protypes directly within the app, reducing the need for additional tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is not anything that I dislike about Corel, I use it everyday and I like it very much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I make designs of visiting card, carry bags, letterheads, banners etc. for my father's business and whole designing is based on Corel and it is very easy as even my father is able to use it easily and make designs for clients.If I had to make these designs in illustrator, it would have been really hector and difficult.

I had one issue that was fixed with an update, when I used to handle large files Lunacy would sometimes freeze but after the update everything worked perfectly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've used Lunacy particularly for designing handouts, presentations and classroom resources so I've improved the quality of my communication. It's a versatile tool, capable of handling different file formats which makes–it easy to export my projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It isn't so intuitive at first, it offers free tutorials but anyway it took us a while to understand and master the handling of layers or clipping masks; so no need to get discouraged. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have only used one of the many diagram formats within SD, so I do not have a lot of experience to be able to answer this very thoroughly. Iniatially, I had several aspects that I was not enjoying about SD, but after being coached by Ms. Vanessa Solis as to the correct way to utilize the various features within SD, I no longer have any dislikes.
