MyDraw Reviews

Summary: I starting using My Draw as an alternative to Visio. It has proved to be reliable and robust.

Positive: - Ease of use.
- Range of features.
- Price.

Negative: - Limited resolution (e.g. grid spacing).
- Alignment capabilities are limited (e.g. expanding shapes with connected lines).

Summary: I like it. It's not quite the same so its tricky sometimes. I would say also look at a new design that doesn't look like Visio. Make it a bit more funky.

Positive: I like the design of the layout and the stencils. the about of time taken with the different options is great.

Negative: I struggle with snap placement stuff. e.g. I am putting a line between two objects and it always tries and snaps to the centre. Super annoying and Visio doesn't do that. I would say your boundary points of the centre of the object are way too wide. if it just worked a bit more like Visio or there was a more basic drawing mode which allowed you to just draw stuff without it caring about all the points on the object.

Summary: Ease of use and the ability to save your file in many different formats. I love using MyDraw for both technical and non-technical projects.

Positive: Short learning curve and easy to understand steps. Great practical starter templates and the ability to create your own.

Negative: I don't see anything negative about MyDraw. Please keep improving it as you go forward.

Summary: After using MyDraw for less than a month, this has become my go-to app for network diagramming. Once I create my custom libraries for business floor plans, I expect its usefulness will improve even more.

This is a great product at a price that makes it an absolute steal. Forget Visio; forget SD; just go straight to MyDraw. You won't be sorry.

Positive: I own an IT services company and need to create network maps and floorplans for our network installs documentation. I had been using another product (initials SD) for many years, but it was getting dated, and not always the easiest to use. This year I discovered MyDraw and found it to be a superior product in every aspect for my needs.

The learning curve is pretty quick, but the power and flexibility is almost unlimited. Creating and modifying network diagrams was much faster, and it's also very easy to import your own artwork or photos to really customize the equipment. My clients have commented how professional our network documentation packages are, and MyDraw helps us create the visuals quickly and cost-effectively.

One of the HUGE features that MyDraw offers, which I will be using on a regular basis, is the floor plan library. If I had to add one major feature to that other app, this would have been it! Super helpful for my usage.

Negative: Being that this is primarily a business app, I was surprised to not find any type of basic business rooms in the floor plan library. The other major omission in the floor plan area is basic architectural objects, e.g. doors, windows, electric outlets, data and phone ports. I am basically having to create these myself, which makes this a little more time-consuming until I build up my own library of those types of shapes.

Summary: I'm an active user from version 2.0. Every newer version was better and better. Today version 5 is great tool and I recommend it to anyone.

Positive: This offline solution have plenty of templates to start with, clean user interface, plenty of design options and fantastic set of libraries with design elements. Import and export works perfectly. Just to explain, for example, a line tool options You need 30 minutes or more.

Negative: User interface is an excellent one, but gear icon, for more option, is really unnecessary. Loading time should be shorter.

Summary: Overall, my experience was very satisfying. I needed to contact customer support for the registration process and they did respond in a timely manner, staying on top of my issue until it was resolved

Positive: Easy to use and satisfied my personal needs. I found it very easy to use. The pricing makes it well worth it!

Negative: The license entry and authorization process is a little confusing. Once registered, the program works great

Summary: All in all, despite the major issue, I still give it a 5 stars rating, it doesn't affect my overall experience using this wonderful piece of software, and I hope you fix the issue as soon as possible, it would make the experience much more better.

Positive: *Ease of use.
*Large variety of diagrams.
*Multitude of tools and ability to import data from other softwares.

Negative: The most noticeable problem using this software is the inability the deactivate a license until one is on the machine where the software is installed. Being logged into an account should logically give the possibility of deactivating the license, especially if one cannot have access to the machine where the software was previously installed.

Summary: Overall I would highly recommend this program! I have tried so many other options and they all pale in comparison with either a lack of features or a lack of ease of use. MyDraw is different - it is full of features, easy to use and for the price it is one of the best on the market.

Positive: The program is full of features and easy to learn. The setup is intuitive and the results that you can achieve are fantastic.

Negative: If you're trying to do something simple then this program is great; however, with the number of features that the program offers the learning curve can be steep to master all that it has to offer!

Summary: MyDraw is similar to, and compatible with, Microsoft Visio. Maybe Microsoft should license this as the Mac version, since they don't seem to want to do that with Visio.

Positive: It runs on macOS, has Visio compatibility, and allows me to create the graphs & flows that I need. It's also fairly easy to use, similar to Visio.

Negative: My only real complaint is that I can only run it on one of my Macs. It'd be nice if I could install it on both my home and work Macs.

Summary: MyDraw is a decent replacement for Visio and its ease of use and versatility gives it an edge over its competitors.

Positive: Affordable even for individuals.
Minimal learning curve makes it easy to use.
Available across platforms.

Negative: Rare crashes on new updates.
Layout is not as intuitive as some other apps.

Summary: Overall I'd have to say it is a very good option if you are looking for a drawing tool. It is my go to tool for drawing.

Positive: Easy to use, small learning curve very intuitive to use. Everything is laid out and you have no trouble figuring out how to use it.

Negative: I liked everything about the product, no issues to date

Summary: MyDraw is a very good alternative to Visio and has a much better price/performance ratio. A start with the templates is very easy.

Positive: MyDraw has many templates. In addition each shape can be customized. After a short training period it is good to use.

Negative: As a user in Germany, the German language could be better supported.

Summary: For the creation of charts, this app is by far the best. It's the ease of use and an expansive library that makes it a great tool.

Positive: Simple interface, easy to drag-drop objects. Connections between objects very flexible. The library of objects to use is a huge plus!

Negative: Wish it had pinch to zoom. There were issues when you started the app on a mac that it would lock up in the current release. Had to go back to previous in order to work

Summary: Overall: an outstanding product that helps to create anything you can do with Visio and then some. Only better and cheaper.

Positive: Easy handling, intuitive and good to start with., It is easy to get to a sufficient level of proficiency in order to use for most private or professional standard use cases. It was just what I was looking for. And the price point is almost unbelievable good. Such performance at such a price - its a no brainer. This product is a must who has Visio like demands but does not wish to pay MS proud prices.

Negative: HOWEVER: much like other professional grade programs over time you find out that the program can do so much more then you thought and so much more then you KNEW was possible - and that's the issue: it is hard to explore all the possibilities with scattered youtube tutorials. One big video tutorial that explores what this thing can do would help shorten the learning curve. Certainly when I was starting I missed in depth tutorials of all the magic that this outstanding app can offer. So yes: I want tutorials. Lots of tutorials. I am even willing to pay good money for them say on Udemy or whatever other platform comes to mind.
